Northville, MIWayne County

Steep gables, porches and trim lit in clean lines from a bucket truck

Most of the Northville Historic District is Gothic Revival houses built between 1860 and 1880, and many homes around downtown are Queen Anne. Both styles are hard on a lazy lighting job. Gothic Revival houses are known for steep, pointed gables and decorative trim along the eaves, and a steep gable shows every sag.

Queen Anne homes add towers, bays and deep porches, which means more corners and more places for a line to wander. We plan each run against the architecture, reach the peaks from a bucket truck when the lot has room, and let porch columns and railings carry part of the display. The result looks deliberate from the street and from down the block.

Planning Christmas lights in Northville

  1. 01

    Steep gables, straight lines

    A steep gable shows every gap and sag. We measure each pitch, hang the run from the bucket wherever the truck can reach, and look at the line from the street before moving on to the next one.

  2. 02

    Frame the detail, do not bury it

    On a house with carved trim or ornate porch work, the lights should frame the craftsmanship. A single warm white outline and lit porch columns can do more than heavy color, and we will talk through both looks during the estimate.

  3. 03

    Where the truck can reach

    During the estimate we check where a bucket truck can park, what is overhead and how close the drive is to the house. Installation day then starts with a plan instead of guesswork, and the crew knows the property before it arrives.

How it works

  1. Tell us what you picture

    Call or send a request with your address and what you want lit. Photos and ideas help, but a rough idea is plenty to start.

  2. Walkthrough and design

    We look at the property, the power and the access, then plan a layout.

  3. Your free estimate

    You get an estimate that spells out what gets lit and what is included. Nothing moves forward until it makes sense to you.

  4. Installation

    Crews work from the ground, the roof and the bucket truck, check connections as they go and test the display before they leave.

Before you book in Northville

Common questions about Christmas light installation in Northville.

Guide 4 min readWhen to book Christmas light installation in MichiganRead the guide
Do you serve both the City of Northville and Northville Township?

Yes. The city, on both sides of Eight Mile Road, and Northville Township to the south are within our Southeast Michigan service area. Reach us at (248) 756-8915, or send your address through the form, to book a free estimate.

Will lights suit a Gothic Revival or Queen Anne house?

They can look superb when the plan follows the architecture. We trace the main gables, pick out porch details and keep lights off anything too delicate to clip. The estimate shows which lines get lit, so nothing about install day is a surprise.

When should I book so the house is lit for the holidays?

Home installs commonly fall between October and early December. If you want the house lit by the time downtown holds its Holiday Lighted Parade and Town Square tree lighting, request early for the widest choice of dates.

Do I need to be home for the installation?

Not always. When we schedule, we confirm access to outlets, gates and the areas being lit, and we will tell you if we need you there.

What if a section of lights goes out?

Call us. In-season service is part of what we do, so a dark section means a phone call instead of a trip up the ladder. We will put a service visit on the schedule.
