The most competitive lighting market in the state
Bergen has the highest concentration of well-lit houses in New Jersey, and homeowners here know the difference between a professional install and a homeowner job from across the street. Ridgewood, Franklin Lakes and Wyckoff in particular have streets where essentially every house is done.
What that means for you: the bar is high, and the details are what separate the houses. Even bulb spacing. No visible cords. No orange extension cord across the lawn. A continuous line that follows every roof plane instead of stopping where it got difficult. Those are the things that read on a street where everything is lit.
The lots in the older sections are also tight, which makes clean work harder, not easier — there is often no good ladder position on one side of the house, and that has to be solved rather than skipped.
Bergen is a two-hour drive — here is how we handle it honestly
We are based in Ocean County. Bergen is about two hours each way, and a seasonal install means three trips: install, any service call, and takedown.
So we work Bergen in scheduled blocks, on set weeks, and we have a higher job minimum up here than we do locally. That is not a markup on the work — it is what makes the drive make sense so we can do the job properly instead of rushing it.
If you are in Bergen and looking at a small install, we will tell you straight that a local crew probably serves you better. If you want a full property done right, or a permanent system installed once and done, we are worth the call.
What every install includes
- Commercial-grade LED bulbs and wire, custom-cut to your roofline.
- Professional install with clips. Nothing stapled or nailed into fascia, shingles or trim.
- In-season service calls included. Something goes dark, we come back out.
- January takedown and storage. Nothing ends up in your garage.

Bergen County lighting FAQs
Do you really cover Bergen County?
Yes. We are based in Ocean County and Bergen County is about two hours away, so we schedule it in blocks rather than one job at a time. We cover Ridgewood, Franklin Lakes, Wyckoff, Paramus, Fair Lawn, Glen Rock, Mahwah, Tenafly and Englewood. It is our own insured crew, not a subcontractor or a franchise handoff.
How much does Christmas light installation cost in Bergen County?
Most single-story homes with the front roofline lit run about $400 to $700, a typical two-story about $700 to $1,400, and larger full installs with peaks, columns and trees $1,500 and up. Price is driven by linear feet, roof height and pitch. You can get a ballpark for your own house with our free cost calculator.
Is there a minimum job size in Bergen County?
For counties further from our base there is a minimum, because a seasonal install means three trips out — install, service and takedown. We will tell you honestly on the phone whether your job clears it. If it does not, we would rather say so than take the job and rush it.
When should I book?
August through October. There are only about five prime installation weekends between Halloween and Thanksgiving. For counties outside Ocean and Monmouth we work in scheduled block weeks, so once a block fills the next opening can be a week or more out. Book earlier than you think you need to.
Do you supply the lights?
Yes. Seasonal installs include commercial-grade LED lights we supply and cut to fit your roofline, professional install, in-season service, removal in January and storage until next year. You are not buying, storing or replacing anything.
Do you install permanent lighting too?
Yes, and for homes further from our base it often makes more sense. A permanent LED track is installed once and then does Halloween, Christmas, the Fourth of July and everyday warm white from an app, with no annual install or takedown trip.
