What we see on Toms River houses
Toms River is really three different lighting jobs depending on where you are. Up in North Dover and Silverton we are mostly on two-story colonials with steep pitches and deep front setbacks — those need real linear footage to read from the street, and they need a crew with the right ladders, not a homeowner leaning off a gutter.
In Holiday City, Silveridge and the other 55+ communities it is almost all single-story ranches. Those are fast, clean installs, they price well, and frankly they are our favorite jobs of the season. If you are in one of those communities and your neighbors are talking about splitting a lighting crew for the block, call us — we do group pricing.
Closer to the water in Ortley and the barrier island, salt exposure is the deciding factor. That is where we push people toward sealed connectors and marine-grade hardware whether they go seasonal or permanent.
Toms River takes this seriously
You already know the Toms River Halloween Parade is one of the biggest in the country. What that means practically is that this town lights up earlier and harder than most places in New Jersey, and it does not stop at Halloween — the same streets that go all out on October 31st go all out in December.
If your street is one of those, book early. Our Toms River calendar fills before anywhere else because it is our home base.
What is included on every Toms River 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 Toms River 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.

Toms River holiday lighting FAQs
How much does Christmas light installation cost in Toms River?
In Toms River 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 Toms River?
Yes. We are based in Ocean County and Toms River is on our regular holiday route, covering Silverton, North Dover, Holiday City, Silveridge, Pleasant Plains, the Downtown district and out toward Ortley Beach. We are not a national franchise routing you to a subcontractor — it is our own insured crew.
When should I book in Toms River?
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.
