Start Here — This Is The Part You Design
Choose Your Colors
Every bulb we install is a faceted LED. The cut face throws sharper, more saturated color than a smooth bulb, which is why a professional display still reads clearly from the street after dark instead of washing out. Run one color, alternate two, or go full multicolor — you choose, we handle the rest.
Core Season Palette
Warm white, cool white, multicolor, red, and green — the five most-requested options for a Treasure Valley roofline.
Accent & Custom Colors
Green, orange, and purple for custom themes, school and team palettes, or an autumn display that carries into the holidays.
Warm White
Classic and traditional. The safest choice on any house, and the one that photographs best against brick, stone, and warm-toned siding.
Cool White
Crisp and modern. Reads like clean winter light and holds its edge on white trim, dark siding, and contemporary rooflines.
Red & Green
Traditional Christmas. Strongest as a deliberate alternating pattern along the eaves rather than mixed at random — spacing is what makes it look intentional.
Multicolor
Warm, nostalgic, and family-forward. The look kids ask for, and the one that carries best on long roof runs and wrapped trees.
Orange & Purple
Accent colors for custom work — school and team palettes, business branding, or a fall display. Ask about these at your consultation.
Still Deciding?
That’s what the free consultation is for. We walk your property, look at your exterior colors and lighting, and give you two options worth choosing between. You make the call.
The Part Most People Miss
You Don’t Buy The Lights
Barrier owns the lights. We supply them, install them, maintain them, remove them, and store them until next year. You are not buying a product and then figuring out what to do with it in April — you’re paying for a lit house, start to finish.
Your Design, Measured To Your House
You choose the colors and the focal points. We measure your roofline, walk the trees and landscaping, and build your choices around your home’s actual geometry — not a standard run across the front gable.
Commercial-Grade Faceted LEDs
Faceted bulbs cut the light instead of glowing softly, so color stays sharp and saturated from the street. Rated for outdoor winter service and cool to the touch.
Professional Installation
All-weather clips sized to your shingles, gutters, and fascia so runs stay straight through wind and snow. Cords routed along trim lines and weatherproofed at every connection.
Timers Set Before We Leave
Your display comes on at dusk and shuts off on schedule. No switch to flip, no extension cord to unplug in the cold, no forgetting.
In-Season Maintenance Included
A bulb goes out, a strand shifts in a windstorm, a clip lets go — call us and we come fix it. No additional charge, and no waiting until the season is over.
Removal & Off-Season Storage
After the holidays we pull everything down, inspect it, and store it until next season. Nothing ends up in a bin in your garage. Removals are complete by the last business day of February.
All of it is one price and one company. No equipment to buy, no storage bin, and no separate invoice in January for takedown.
The Real Cost of Doing It Yourself
It’s Never Just One Afternoon
Most homeowners hang their own lights exactly as long as it takes to remember why they hated it last year. Here’s what actually goes wrong.
Ladders on Frozen Roofs
Steep pitch, iced shingles, a ladder on uneven winter ground. Falls while hanging holiday decorations send people to the emergency room every December — usually while finishing one last gable.
Half the Strand Is Dead
You bought them three years ago, they baked in the garage all summer, and now a third of them won’t light. Every DIY season starts with an unplanned trip to the store.
The Weekend You Don’t Get Back
Untangling, testing, clipping, re-clipping, running cords, finding an outlet that works. It’s a full Saturday minimum, and it is never a warm one.
Lines That Don’t Line Up
Sagging runs, uneven spacing, bulbs pointing three different directions. From the street, a DIY job reads as a DIY job — and it’s the one thing you can’t unsee.
Failures at the Worst Time
A run goes dark on December 18th. Now you’re back on a snowy roof mid-week, or you live with a black gap in your display straight through New Year’s.
Takedown in January
The part nobody plans for. Cold, wet, and completely unrewarding — which is exactly why so many displays are still up in March.
How It Works
From Quote to Storage
Six steps, one company, one invoice. You are only involved in the first two.
Every step after installation day — maintenance, removal, storage — is already covered by what you paid in the fall.
Free On-Site Consultation — You Pick The Look
We come to your property, measure the roofline, and walk the trees and landscaping with you. You choose the colors and focal points; we tell you honestly what will hold up from the street. No cost and no obligation — we quote from what we measured, not from a phone estimate.
Reserve Your Install Window
You lock in a date. Windows fill in the order they’re reserved starting in the fall — the homes lit before Thanksgiving are the ones that booked in October.
Installation Day
Bulbs, clips, cords, and timers go up in one visit. Runs are set to the line of your fascia and gutters, and cords are routed out of sight rather than draped across the roof.
Testing & Timer Set
Before we leave, we power up every run, verify each section, and set your timer to the schedule you want. You should never have to think about a switch again.
In-Season Maintenance
Something goes out or shifts in the wind, we come back and fix it. No additional charge and no waiting — a dark section in mid-December is our problem, not yours.
Removal & Storage
We take everything down, inspect it, and store it until next season. Removals are complete by the last business day of February, weather permitting.
What Goes On Your House
Faceted LED BulbsCommercial-grade, rated for outdoor winter service, and up to 90% less energy than incandescent.
All-Weather ClipsSized to your shingles, gutters, and fascia so runs hold their line through wind and snow.
Concealed, Sealed CordsRouted along trim lines with weatherproofed connections — no cords crossing the roof face.
Automatic TimersOn at dusk, off on your schedule, every night of the season without you touching anything.
Wreaths & GarlandDoors, windows, columns, and fence lines — the layer that finishes the front of the house.
Trees, Shrubs & PathwaysHand-wrapped trunks and branches plus ground accents that carry the display past the roofline.
The Display
What We Light Up
Start with the roofline. Add as much or as little beyond it as you want — you’re not locked into a package.
Clean, straight runs along eaves, peaks, and gables. This is the backbone of nearly every display and the single highest-impact place to spend your budget.
Trunks and branches wrapped by hand so the light lands evenly instead of clustering. This is the element that makes a yard look designed rather than decorated.
Defines the approach to your home and guides guests safely to the door after dark — useful as well as decorative on icy Idaho walkways.
Doors, windows, columns, and fence lines. The finishing layer that makes the front of a house feel complete rather than just outlined.
Storefronts, office buildings, HOA entrances, and community signage. Larger scopes and after-hours installation scheduling are available — tell us your access requirements up front.
Team colors, school colors, or a palette matched to your exterior. You are not limited to red and green, and we’ll tell you honestly which combinations hold up from the street.

We Already Know Your Property
If we service your home for pest control, we’ve already walked your exterior, your roofline, and your landscaping. Mention it when you call and we’ll work from what we know instead of starting from scratch.
The Calendar Fills Before The Snow Does
Install windows go out in the order they’re reserved. The homes glowing before Thanksgiving belong to the people who called in October.

Common Questions
Straight Answers
No fluff. Here’s what homeowners actually ask us before they book.
Do I have to design it myself?
No — you make the decisions, we do the work. At the free consultation we walk your property, show you what your options look like on a house like yours, and you pick the colors and the areas you want lit. We measure and lay out the runs from there.
Do I have to buy the lights?
No. Barrier owns the lights. We supply, install, maintain, remove, and store commercial-grade LEDs as part of the service. There’s no equipment purchase and nothing left in your garage in January.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on how much roofline you want lit, the height and pitch of your roof, and how far the display extends into the yard. That’s why the design consultation is free and on-site — we measure before we quote, so the number doesn’t change on install day.
When should I book?
Late October is the target. We install throughout the season, but install windows are reserved in order, and the dates before Thanksgiving go first. Booking early is the only way to control your install date.
When do the lights come down?
Removals are complete by the last business day of February, weather permitting. We schedule your takedown at the time we install, so it’s already handled before the season starts.
What if a bulb goes out mid-season?
Call us and we come fix it. In-season maintenance is included — bulbs, shifted strands, clips that let go in a windstorm. You should never be on a roof in December because of something we installed.
Can I change my colors or design later?
Yes, though a change after installation may involve additional labor or materials. We’ll give you an estimate before we touch anything — no surprise charges.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our crews are trained, insured, and follow a safety-first process on every installation — the same standard we hold on our pest control routes.
Do you work on two-story or steep roofs?
Yes. It’s a large share of what we do, and it’s the specific reason most homeowners hand this job off in the first place. Mention the roof height when you request your quote so we bring the right equipment.
Will the clips damage my roof or gutters?
No. We use all-weather clips sized to your shingles, gutters, and fascia. They hold the run in place through wind and snow and come off cleanly at removal.
What about HOA or city restrictions?
Tell us before installation. If your HOA limits colors, install dates, or takedown deadlines, we design around the rules up front rather than fixing it after a complaint.
Do I need to be home for the install?
Usually not. We need clear access to the areas being lit and a working exterior outlet. If we’ll need anything else from you, we’ll tell you before the day of installation.
Do you handle commercial properties?
Yes — storefronts, office buildings, HOA entrances, and community signage. Let us know about after-hours access or scheduling requirements when you request the quote.
Which areas do you serve?
Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Nampa, Caldwell, Kuna, Star, Middleton, and surrounding Treasure Valley communities. If you’re just outside that footprint, call and ask.
Will this run up my power bill?
Not meaningfully. We install commercial-grade LEDs, which use up to 90% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs, and the timer keeps them from burning all night.
