Holiday lighting is roof work in December, which is the part most people underestimate until they are on a ladder in the cold with a string of lights and a staple gun.

This is not a separate crew learning your house in December. The roofline access, the ladder footings and the reach problems are the same ones worked out on the gutter visit.
If a run cannot be reached safely, you are told at the quote rather than on the day.
Roof pitch, storey height, how much frontage you actually want lit and whether there is safe ladder footing all change the number, and none of that is guessable from a postcode.

It is the same rooflines, eaves and peaks we are on every autumn for gutters, so the access problem is one we have already solved on most of these houses.
Anything fixed to the outside of a house here spends December and January under freeze-thaw, wind off open ground and the weight of wet snow sliding off a pitched roof. Lighting that was pushed onto a gutter lip in November comes down in January whether you planned it or not.
That is a fixing problem rather than a lighting problem, and it is decided at install. Clips sized to the gutter or the shingle edge, runs tensioned so they do not sag and hold water, and nothing stapled through a fascia that then has to be repaired in spring.
The install window in this metro is short. It runs from the end of the gutter season to the first hard freeze, and once there is ice on a roof edge the work stops being a scheduling question and starts being a safety one.
Late autumn is the honest time to ask. If it cannot be fitted in before the weather closes it, you will be told that rather than left on a maybe.
That is the same answer given about spring window cleaning, for the same reason: there are only so many houses a small operation can do properly in a week.
A gutter full of October leaves is the wrong thing to clip a light run onto. The debris holds water, the water freezes, and the extra weight goes onto the same lip carrying the lighting.
Doing both on one trip is materially cheaper than two appointments, because access and setup are most of the work on any small job, and it means the lighting goes onto a clean, clear edge.
It is the same argument for pairing glass with gutters in the autumn, and it applies more here because something is being attached rather than just cleared.
Late autumn, once the gutters are clear and before the first hard freeze. The install window here is short, and once there is ice on a roof edge the work stops being a scheduling question and becomes a safety one.
Yes, and it is the sensible order. Access and setup are most of the work on any small job, so one trip costs materially less than two, and it means the lighting goes onto a clean edge rather than onto a gutter full of wet leaves.
On the property, like everything else here. Roof pitch, storey height, how much frontage you want lit and whether there is safe ladder footing all change the number, so there is no price list and no starting-from figure. Send the address and a real number comes back inside twenty-four hours.
You are told at the quote rather than on the day. We do not walk pitched roofs to reach a run and we do not lean a ladder somewhere unsafe because the alternative takes longer.
