We install Christmas lights across Calgary: G30 globe bulbs on custom-built E17 strands, hung straight by our family-run Elves and taken down in spring.
Big, round, glowing bulbs, the way Christmas lights are meant to look, built to last and hung with care.
G30 globes are UV protected, so they don't yellow, shatter or crack as easily as ordinary bulbs.
Clear, bright colour season after season, without the cloudy, faded look of tired bulbs.
Our Elves hang every strand perfectly aligned and straight, so your roofline looks polished from the street.
Built to your roofline's exact lengths, on white or black wire to blend with your trim.
Rooflines
We build every strand for your home: E17 wire cut to the length of each roofline, fitted with G30 globes in the colours you pick. Then our Elves hang each run straight and even, from the garage to the highest peak.
A display built for your home, from the first sketch to the last clip.
We plan the lines around your roof: eaves, gables, peaks and the details worth highlighting.
Every strand hung straight and evenly by our own Elves.
E17 strands built to fit your roofline, on white or black wire, fitted with G30 globe lights.

Most homes go with ours: G30 globes on strands built for your roofline, $7/ft installed in your first year, with a 5-year warranty when you use our setup and takedown service.
In the season you choose: Early Bird (mid-September to the end of October) or peak season (November to mid-December). You choose a season, not an exact date.
We do. Takedown is part of every seasonal installation: pick a preferred month, January to about April 1, and our Elves take everything down once conditions are right.
A few quick questions about your home, then your rough range. Your final quote comes after the Elves review your home on Google Street View and your photos. No commitment.
For houses, G30 globe bulbs on custom-built E17 strands, on white or black wire. G30s are UV protected, so they don't yellow, shatter or crack as easily, and they keep their clarity.

Yes: in Calgary, our Elves install your own Christmas lights for $32.50 per strand, but lights that didn't come from us aren't warrantied. Return visits caused by failures in those lights are chargeable. Our Elves always use their own professional clips, even with client-supplied lights, so every installation meets our standard.
Book as early as you can: in Calgary, booking opens in September, and Early Bird installs run mid-September to the end of October. Early is better for the lights, the weather is generally better for installing, and you can leave them unplugged until you want them on. Peak season runs November to mid-December. Waiting for November? Pricing is higher in peak season, and the cold is harder on the strands. Early bird access closes Thanksgiving Monday.
Early Bird is our early install window, mid-September to the end of October. It's better for the lights. The weather is generally better for installing. You can leave them unplugged until you want them on. Early bird access closes Thanksgiving Monday.
Yes: our Elves take your Christmas lights down every spring in Calgary, in the month you prefer, from January to about April 1.

Our Elves remove them once conditions are right.
