The reason window cleaners do holiday lighting is that it is the same skill set: working at height, on roof lines, without damaging anything. The difference between a professional install and a weekend on a ladder is that the lines are straight, nothing is stapled into your fascia, and somebody else takes it down in January.

What this means in Manitou Springs specifically

Elevation and sun exposure

Over 6,400 feet in a canyon, so glass gets intense UV but also long shaded periods that encourage organic growth on north-facing panes.

Local housing stock

Historic housing stock with a high concentration of Victorian-era homes. Original glass is frequently present and it is not the same material as modern float glass.

Tree cover and organic staining

Dense canyon tree cover produces the heaviest organic staining we deal with, particularly on north and east elevations that see little direct sun.

Manitou Springs sits at approximately 6,412 feet.

How we do it

1
Design and measure
We walk the property with you, agree what gets lit, and measure every run so strands are cut to fit rather than draped and doubled back.
2
Install on clips
All-clip attachment on shingle edges and gutters. Nothing gets stapled or nailed, because a puncture in your fascia or drip edge is a leak waiting for spring.
3
Timers and testing
Every run tested, timers set so you are not managing it nightly.
4
Season support
If a section goes out mid-season we come fix it. That is the actual value of hiring this out.
5
Takedown and storage
Removed in January, labeled by run, and stored so next year is an install rather than a redesign.

What it costs

Priced by linear footage of roof line plus any trees or landscape features, with takedown and storage typically bundled.

Holiday Lights questions from Manitou Springs

When should I book?

Early. Installs run from late October through early December and the good weekends fill first. Booking in September or October gets you the date you want.

Do I own the lights?

Depends on the arrangement. Purchase means they are yours and we store them. Lease is cheaper up front and we maintain and replace them. Both are common and worth comparing.

Will this damage my roof or gutters?

Not when it is clipped. Damage comes from staples, nails, and ladders resting directly on gutters. We clip everything and use standoffs, which is the same discipline that keeps us from bending gutters doing window work.

What about permanent lighting?

Permanent track-mounted systems are worth considering if you want lighting year round for holidays, game days, and events. Higher up-front cost, no seasonal install fee ever again.
