Why Marietta residents choose our Christmas lights installation services
Hanging Christmas lights means ladder time, and Marietta rooflines are rarely as forgiving as they look from the driveway. Our crew handles the whole job here: design, commercial-grade LED lights we supply, installation, repairs when December misbehaves, and takedown in January.
We have installed in Marietta every season since 2018, and the work changes block by block. A 1980s East Cobb two-story off Johnson Ferry Road needs 30 feet of ladder work on steep front gables. A brick ranch near the Square might need nothing taller than a step ladder but twice the tree lighting. Victorian trim along Whitlock Avenue calls for smaller clips and a slower hand than a straight run of modern gutter. We quote each of those differently because they are different jobs. As the Cobb County seat with roughly 60,000 residents, this is the busiest single city on our western routes, and crews are in it daily from late October on.
Marietta takes December seriously. The Square turns into a lit-up winter attraction, the Pilgrimage home tour sends thousands of visitors past historic front porches, and plenty of streets keep a friendly rivalry going over the best display. Our job is making sure your house holds its own in that lineup without you touching a ladder. Neighbors will ask who did it; most of our Marietta bookings arrive exactly that way, one referral at a time. More than 7,500 North Atlanta installs have taught us what survives a Georgia December and what fails by the 15th.
Local crews, local knowledge
The same installers run Marietta routes every week of the season. They know which East Cobb subdivisions want warm white only and which streets near the Square go full multicolor.
Safe and dependable installations
Every light attaches with clips, never staples or nails. Shingles, gutters, and century-old fascia boards all stay exactly as we found them, from install day through January removal.
Custom displays for every property type
A quote for a Whitlock Avenue Victorian looks nothing like one for a new build off Dallas Highway. Designs start with simple rooflines near $800 and scale to estate displays past $2,500.
The whole season, handled
One booking covers design, install, any mid-season repair, and takedown. We come back in January, remove everything, and can store your display labeled and ready for next year.
Marietta installs, from Johnson Ferry to Dallas Highway
Marietta covers a lot of ground, and the housing changes as you cross it. East Cobb neighborhoods around Johnson Ferry, Lassiter, and Paper Mill are heavy on two-story traditionals from the 1970s and 1980s, with steep gables and mature hardwoods that reward a full roofline plus two or three wrapped trunks. West Cobb streets off Dallas Highway run newer, with taller entry features and younger landscaping, so the budget goes into peaks and columns instead of tree canopies. Inside the city limits you find ranches, bungalows, and infill builds side by side. Split-levels from the 1970s show up across the city too, and their offset rooflines need anchor points at two heights to keep the line reading straight from the curb. We measure and quote every home individually instead of pricing by ZIP code.
Lighting near Marietta Square and the historic districts
December is the Square's biggest month. Glover Park fills with lights, the ice rink goes in, and the Marietta Pilgrimage Christmas Home Tour has been sending visitors through the city's historic homes for close to four decades. Owning a Victorian or Craftsman near Whitlock Avenue during all that comes with a little pressure. We light historic properties without puncturing original woodwork: clips sized to older gutter profiles, bulbs spaced to suit deep eaves, and cords routed out of sight from the street. Storefronts and offices around the Square get the same care on a commercial timeline, installed before the season's first big weekend. Install dates around tour weekend go quickly, since hosts want everything hung and tested well before visitors arrive.
How the season runs for Marietta homes
Installs start in late October and run through mid-December, and Marietta dates disappear in a predictable order: the week before Thanksgiving books out first, then the first week of December. Reserve by November 1st and the price drops 10%. A typical East Cobb two-story takes our crew three to five hours, and homes installed early can stay dark until you want them on, since every display runs on a timer we set before leaving. When something fails mid-season, one call brings a truck back, usually within two days. Rain is the season's real constant here, so every connection hangs in a drip loop and every circuit we touch gets checked for ground-fault protection. In January we return, take everything down, and leave no clips behind.
What Marietta homeowners pay for professional lights
Most Marietta quotes land between $800 and $3,500. A single-story ranch with a straightforward roofline sits near the $800 mark. The two-story traditionals that fill East Cobb typically run $1,500 to $2,000 once peaks and dormers are counted. Larger properties with extensive tree wrapping, long driveways, or landscape lighting start around $2,500 and climb from there. Those numbers include the lights themselves, commercial-grade LEDs we supply and maintain, plus installation, repairs, and January takedown. Returning customers keep their custom-fit display, so year two is never a restart. For context, a tour-sized Victorian with garland, wreaths, and a wrapped oak typically prices near the top of that range, while the same footage on a plain gutter line costs half as much.
Historic Marietta homes need different fasteners
Marietta's historic districts hold homes dating back before 1900, and older construction changes how lights should go up. Original wood fascia can split if anyone drives a staple into it, so we never do; every run hangs from removable clips matched to the gutter or shingle profile. Deep eaves on older bungalows shade standard spacing, so bulbs sit closer together to keep the line bright from the sidewalk. Aging exterior circuits get respect too. We check outlet capacity before adding load and bring our own cords and splitters rated for the full display. If a breaker or wiring question surfaces, we flag it for you rather than guessing at it.
Garland, wreaths, and porch pieces for Marietta entries
Roofline light is the frame; the entry is the focal point. Marietta homes with columned porches and double doors carry garland well, and we install lit garland wrapped to rails and door frames with the same clip discipline as the roof, no nails in the trim. Oversized wreaths go up at gable peaks and above garages, scaled so they read from the street instead of disappearing against brick. These pieces matter double on the historic blocks, where a porch dressed in greenery and warm white looks the way the neighborhood did a century ago, minus the candle risk. Businesses like these pieces too; a lit wreath over a Square storefront door photographs better than any banner.
Christmas light questions from Marietta homeowners
Local answers about holiday lighting in Marietta, from the team that installs here every season.
Do you serve all of Marietta?
Yes. Marietta is inside our core service area, and crews are on rooflines here every week from late October through mid-December. Rooflines, tree canopies, wreaths, and storefront frontage are all fair game.
What is included in a Marietta installation package?
Design, lights, labor, and everything after: we supply commercial-grade LEDs, install with clips that never puncture shingles, fix anything that fails mid-season, and take it all down in January.
Can you install before Thanksgiving in Marietta?
Most years, yes. Book by November 1st, because pre-Thanksgiving slots in Marietta go first. An early install can sit unlit until Thanksgiving week if you prefer.
Is the display maintained through the season?
Yes, all season long. Marietta customers call, we roll a truck, and the display is usually back to full brightness within a couple of days.
