Christmas lights installation services in Snellville, GA
Snellville grew from 2,000 people in 1970 to more than 20,000 today, and most of its houses date from that first rush: two-story traditionals, split-levels, and ranches on wooded lots off Scenic Highway, Lenora Church Road, and the Brookwood side of town. December is taken seriously here. Our crews bring commercial-grade LEDs cut to each roofline, roof-safe clips that never put a staple in a shingle, timers set before we leave, and service through January takedown. Nothing is charged for the quote, and it comes back itemized, usually next business day.
Snellville lights, from Brookwood split-levels to the new Towne Green
Snellville does December out loud. The city has lit a tree on Thanksgiving weekend for more than forty years, with a lighted parade rolling from Wisteria Plaza to the Towne Green before the switch gets thrown, and the subdivisions off Scenic Highway keep that energy going on their own streets through New Year's. Whole cul-de-sacs coordinate. Neighbors notice a dark house. In the big 1970s and 1980s neighborhoods here, a lit roofline is less a decoration than a form of participation, and we say that plainly because it shapes how people book.
The housing came in one wave. Snellville held about 2,000 residents in 1970 and 8,500 by 1980, and the split-levels, ranches, and two-story traditionals from that decade still fill the streets around Brookwood High School, Lenora Church Road, and Summit Chase, where the golf course opened in the mid-1970s. Brookwood Manor followed in 1988, Norris Lake filled in from the 1970s through the early 2000s, and Havenstone brought newer two-stories in 2003. Fifty years of tree growth means big pines and oaks now shade most older lots, which blocks some sightlines and hands us trunks worth wrapping. A split-level also hangs differently from a colonial: the eave steps between two heights, and the design has to step with it.
A Snellville quote gets built from measured roofline footage, not from the neighborhood. A 1978 split-level might carry 120 to 170 feet across its two eave heights, a two-story traditional 180 to 250 once the gables are in. Height and roof access come next, then trees and shrubs to wrap, design density, and specialty pieces like wreaths and garland.

Snellville is 25 miles from our Cumming base, down GA 20 to Lawrenceville and Scenic Highway the rest of the way, and it sits on our east-Gwinnett route days all season. In a city where everybody is proud to be somebody, the house should look the part.
Crews fluent in Snellville split-levels
Half of Snellville's older streets are split-levels, and the eave on a split-level changes height twice across the front. A crew that treats it like a colonial ends up with a line that jumps. Ours plan the step, run the lower and upper eaves as one continuous read, and pick out the garage gable so the whole front holds together from the street.
Roof-safe mounting on 1970s fascia and aluminum gutters
Fascia boards from 1976 have taken fifty Georgia summers, and stapling into them is how rot starts. We never staple or screw. Shingle clips ride the drip edge, gutter clips grip the aluminum lip, and older gutters get lighter clip spacing so nothing sags. Crews are insured, ladders are footed on level ground, and cords are routed away from walkways before we leave.
Designs for wooded Snellville lots
On a lot shaded by mature pines and oaks, a roofline alone can vanish behind the canopy. Snellville designs often move weight from the eave to the yard: a wrapped trunk near the street, lit shrub beds along the walk, a wreath on the gable, and warm white on the roofline so the house reads through the trees instead of fighting them.
Service passes and January takedown on the Scenic Highway route
Snellville sits on the same route days as Grayson and Loganville, so a dark section reported on Monday is usually relit by Wednesday, at no charge. January takedown is included: strands come down coiled and tested, gutters and shingle edges get a look on the way off the roof, and the lights go to your garage or our labeled storage until next fall.
Split-levels and two-stories around Brookwood and Lenora Church Road
The streets around Brookwood High School and along Lenora Church Road were framed in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when Snellville quadrupled in a decade, and they still hold the widest mix of one-era housing in east Gwinnett: split-levels with the garage tucked under, two-story traditionals with a brick front and vinyl sides, brick ranches on the flatter lots, the occasional Cape Cod. Brookwood Manor added larger traditionals from 1988. Each shape hangs its own way. A split-level's stepped eave gets planned as one continuous line, a ranch takes a single low run a crew can dress from a short ladder, and a two-story earns a gable outline plus the upper peak. Our residential roofline installation work is quoted per measured house, so a ranch and the colonial next door end up with different numbers, and both are right.
Highway 78 storefronts and the new blocks at The Grove
Snellville's commercial spine is Highway 78, which crosses Scenic Highway at the center of town and carries commuter traffic 25 miles into Atlanta every morning. Businesses along it, and the shops, restaurants, and offices filling in around The Grove at Towne Center, get a full month of December exposure from the tree lighting on the Towne Green onward. We install storefront facades, parapets, entry canopies, and sign beds before doors open or after they close, on timers matched to business hours, with January removal in the contract. HOA boards for the subdivisions off Scenic Highway book the same way through our commercial and HOA lighting service: brick entrance monuments, sign landscaping, and clubhouse rooflines on one agreement, with homeowners inside the gate booking individually and often landing on the same route day.
LEDs, outlets, and timers on 1970s Snellville wiring
A house wired in 1978 usually has one or two exterior outlets, sometimes on a circuit it shares with the garage door opener. That is the starting point for a Snellville design, and it is why we use commercial-grade LEDs: a full roofline, a wrapped pine trunk, and a pair of wreaths draw a small fraction of what the incandescent strands these houses grew up with pulled, so one circuit usually carries everything. Each run is custom-cut to the measured eave, connections are sealed against December rain, and the display goes on a timer before the crew leaves, dusk to whatever hour you pick. Bulb choice follows the facade: C9 on brick ranches for a strong line, smaller bulbs on split-level eaves so the two heights stay in proportion, and warm white mixed with color on streets where the whole loop goes bold.
Fifty-year pines, oaks, and crape myrtles on Snellville lots
Snellville's older lots were cut from pine and hardwood woods in the 1970s, and what the builders left standing has had fifty years to grow. Loblolly pines tower over the ranches, white and red oaks shade the split-levels, and the crape myrtles planted along driveways in the 1980s have thick multi-stem trunks that take a wrap well. A roofline behind a dense canopy can disappear from the street, so we often wrap the nearest trunk, light the shrub line along the walk, and stake a pathway run to the porch, letting the yard carry what the roof cannot show. Lots on the Grayson and Loganville side of town tend to be newer and more open, and there the roofline does the work again. Wraps, beds, and garland-dressed entries are each their own line on the quote.
What drives a Snellville quote, house by house
Snellville quotes swing on four things, and the neighborhood name is not one of them. Measured footage first: a brick ranch may carry 110 to 160 feet of eave, a split-level 120 to 170 across two heights, a two-story traditional 180 to 250 with the gables counted. Height and roof access second, since a two-story eave takes a 28-foot ladder where a ranch takes a 16. Third, what gets wrapped or dressed: trunks, shrub beds, columns, railings, wreaths, garland. Fourth, density, one clean line versus every ridge and dormer. Photos of the front through the contact form are usually enough to measure from, or call or text (470) 777-7443, Monday through Saturday, 8 AM to 7 PM. The written, itemized quote usually comes back within one business day, and the longer version lives on our installation cost page.
The Snellville calendar: parade weekend to January takedown
Install slots in Snellville open in late October and close around mid-December, and the days before the Thanksgiving-weekend parade go first, because plenty of families want the house lit the same night the tree on the Towne Green comes on. Crews reach Snellville from Cumming down GA 20 to Lawrenceville and then Scenic Highway, working Grayson and Loganville on the same swing, so route days come through often. A dark section reported after a storm is usually relit within two days, at no charge. Takedown begins right after New Year's: strands come off coiled, tested, and labeled, gutters and shingle edges get checked on the way down, and the lights go to your garage or into our storage. Most Snellville homes on the books are cleared by the end of January.
Snellville holiday lighting questions, from the Towne Green to Brookwood
Straight answers for Snellville homeowners, HOA boards, and Highway 78 businesses.
Do you cover all of Snellville, including the unincorporated Brookwood side?
Yes. City limits do not matter to the route. We cover the Towne Green blocks, the subdivisions off Scenic Highway and Lenora Church Road, Summit Chase, Norris Lake, and the Brookwood-area streets with Snellville addresses outside the city line. Snellville is 25 miles from our Cumming base and lands on route days all season.
Can you light a storefront on Highway 78 or near The Grove at Towne Center?
We do commercial work along Highway 78, Scenic Highway, and the new downtown blocks around The Grove at Towne Center, which held its grand opening in May 2026. Installs go up before opening or after close, garland and warm white on the facade, timers matched to your hours. Storefront service calls jump the queue, because a dark sign in December costs real business.
How is a Snellville installation quoted?
From the house, measured. Roofline footage first, counted across every eave height on a split-level and every gable on a two-story. Then ladder height and roof access, trees and shrubs to wrap, how dense the design runs, and specialty pieces like wreaths, garland, and columns. The quote is free, written, and itemized, with LEDs, install, season service, and January takedown inside it.
Our cul-de-sac decorates together. Can you schedule us as a group?
Gladly, and Snellville streets are built for it. Send one set of photos per house, we quote each home separately, and we stage the installs on the same day so the whole loop turns on together. Group dates fill first, so get the neighbors organized before November 1st and every home keeps the 10% early-bird discount.
Another company hung our lights last year and never took them down. Can you remove those?
Yes. Takedown of any installer's display is a standing service. We remove the strands, pull whatever staples or screws the last crew left in the fascia, and note any damage so you know what you are looking at. If you want a new display, takedown and install get quoted together on one itemized sheet.
