Choose a lighting mood
You buy and own a Govee Pro permanent lighting kit, and our family-run Elves install it properly, with the right equipment for second storeys and complicated rooflines. Small lights mounted under the eaves that shine down, like pot lights along the soffit: not a glowing-bulb roofline. Our 5-year warranty covers seasonal installs. Permanent lights are covered by Govee's own warranty, not ours.
From a retailer like Costco. Not sure which kits or how many? Tell us about your roofline and we'll advise before you buy.
Installation is $5.85/ft: mounted under the eaves, wired neatly and tested, then set up in the Govee app with you. We don't sell the lights.
Our 5-year warranty covers seasonal installs. Permanent lights are covered by Govee's own warranty, not ours.
Permanent lights need temperatures above about 10°C to install properly. Book early in the fall to get on the list.
Permanent lights
You buy and own the Govee Pro kit; our Elves install it under your eaves, wire it neatly and set up the Govee app with you. The lights shine down, like pot lights along the soffit, in whatever colour you pick from your phone.
Govee Pro lights are permanent lights: they stay on the house year-round, tucked under the eaves, and you run them from the Govee app. Warm white on a timer most nights, any colour for any occasion, then Christmas colours in December, with no ladders every fall.
Once it's up, the colour is yours to pick: warm white most nights, red and white for Canada Day and the Stampede, team colours for a Flames game, then Christmas colours in December.
Our family-run Elves install Govee Pro permanent outdoor lights you've already bought, across Calgary and the surrounding areas, for $5.85/ft of roofline. Govee Pro is sold as a DIY kit, but second storeys, steep pitches and complicated rooflines are a different job: we mount it under your eaves, wire it neatly, test it and set up the Govee app with you.
Say so when you ask for your installation quote, and we'll install the kit you have. We install Govee Pro only.
Tell us about your roofline and we'll advise which Govee Pro kits and how many to buy, from a retailer like Costco.
Two-storey homes usually need a boom lift, which adds $100, and each roofline break or dormer adds $30. The kit is yours, so it isn't in our price.

We install both, so we don't mind which you pick. Here's how they really differ.

Second storeys, steep pitches and complicated rooflines included. Mounted straight, wired neatly and tested, then set up in the app with you.
We install; we don't sell the lights. Our 5-year warranty covers seasonal installs. Permanent lights are covered by Govee's own warranty, not ours.
Yes: our Elves install Govee Pro permanent lights you've already bought, in Calgary and the surrounding areas, for $5.85/ft of roofline. We install Govee Pro only, and if you haven't bought yet, tell us about your home and we'll advise which kits and how many to buy, from a retailer like Costco. Installs run mid-September through November only, because permanent lights need temperatures above about 10°C to install properly.
Permanent Christmas lights in Calgary cost $5.85/ft of roofline to install with us, plus the Govee Pro kit, which you buy yourself, so the kit's price isn't part of ours. Two-storey homes usually need a boom lift, which adds $100, and each roofline break or dormer adds $30. The $250 minimum installation charge applies too, and there's no takedown or yearly charge: the lights stay up. Your final quote comes after the Elves review your home on Google Street View and your photos, using these same rates.
No. You buy and own the lights; we're the installers. We can advise on which Govee Pro kits and how many to buy for your roofline, then install them properly.
Yes, and many people do: Govee Pro is sold as a DIY product. We're here for second storeys, steep pitches and tricky rooflines, and for anyone who'd rather not climb. We bring the ladders and the experience, install it straight and tidy, and set up the app with you.
Mid-September through November only. Permanent lights need temperatures above about 10°C to install properly. Book early in the fall to get on the list.
In Calgary, Govee Pro permanent lights stay up all year, winter included: Govee Pro is sold for permanent outdoor installation, and for the product's ratings and specifications, check with Govee or your retailer. Our part is mounting them securely and neatly so the lines stay straight through the seasons. What the cold does limit is installing them: they need about 10°C or warmer, so permanent installs run mid-September through November only.
In Calgary, the permanent lights we install are nearly invisible during the day: Govee Pro lights are small fixtures mounted under the eaves, along the soffit, where they shine down like pot lights once they're on. They aren't a glowing-bulb roofline: that classic look is our seasonal G30 globes on custom-built strands. If the classic Christmas look matters most, choose seasonal; plenty of customers do both.
Yes, the Govee app on your phone. We set it up with you and add your first schedules and scenes before we leave.
No. Our 5-year warranty covers seasonal installs. Permanent lights are covered by Govee's own warranty, not ours.
Yes. Permanent lights go under the eaves. Trees and bushes are still seasonal wraps, and plenty of customers do both.
