Big houses, deep lots, tall peaks
Jackson is mostly newer construction on larger lots, and that changes the lighting math in two ways.
First, the peaks are tall. A lot of the newer builds off Bennetts Mills and West County Line have a two-story entry with a gable that is well past standard ladder height. Getting that peak lit is what makes the whole front of the house read as designed rather than half-finished — and it is exactly the part homeowners cannot safely do themselves.
Second, the setbacks are deep. On a lot where the house sits 80 or 100 feet off the road, a thin line of mini lights on the gutter disappears. Jackson houses need more linear feet, brighter bulbs, and usually some ground-level work — wrapped trees, lit columns, walkway lighting — to fill the space between the road and the house.
Permanent lighting is popular here for a reason
Jackson has a lot of owners who plan to stay put, in houses with rooflines that are genuinely difficult to work on. That is the exact profile where a permanent LED system beats paying for seasonal install and takedown every single year. You get the tall peak lit once, professionally, and then you never send anyone up there again.
What is included on every Jackson install
- Commercial-grade LED bulbs and wire, custom-cut to your roofline. No store-bought strands daisy-chained together.
- Professional install with clips. Nothing stapled or nailed into fascia, shingles or trim.
- In-season service calls included. Something goes dark, we come back.
- January takedown and storage. Nothing ends up in your garage.
Book your Jackson install
The fastest way to get a number: text a photo of the front of your house to 732-773-0628 and tell us roughly what you want lit. Most quotes come back the same day, and we can pull your property up by satellite if you would rather not meet in person.

Jackson holiday lighting FAQs
How much does Christmas light installation cost in Jackson?
In Jackson most single-story homes with the front roofline lit run about $400 to $700, a typical two-story runs about $700 to $1,400, and larger full installs with peaks, columns and trees run $1,500 and up. Price depends on roof height, pitch and total linear feet. Our pricing includes the lights, the install, in-season service, takedown and storage.
Do you actually service Jackson?
Yes. We are based in Ocean County and Jackson is on our regular holiday route, covering Jackson Mills, Cassville, the newer developments off Bennetts Mills Road and West County Line, and out toward Six Flags. We are not a national franchise routing you to a subcontractor — it is our own insured crew.
When should I book in Jackson?
August through October. There are only about five prime install weekends between Halloween and Thanksgiving and they fill up, so booking early gets you better pricing and your pick of dates. Installs run from late October through the week before Thanksgiving.
Do you supply the lights or do I buy them?
We supply them. Seasonal installs include commercial-grade LED lights cut to fit your roofline, professional install, service during the season, removal in January and storage until next year. If you already own lights you love we can hang those, though we cannot warranty bulbs we did not supply.
What if a section goes dark in December?
Call or text and we come back out. In-season service is included, because a dark run in the middle of the season is the entire reason people hire this out instead of doing it themselves.
Do you do permanent lighting too?
Yes. We install permanent RGBIC LED track systems as well as seasonal lighting. If you plan to stay in the house more than about three more years, permanent usually costs less over time and works for Halloween, the Fourth of July and everyday curb appeal, not just Christmas.
