Christmas lights on Brentwood’s steep custom rooflines
Lights that follow every peak and valley of your roof, with no ladder work for you. Brentwood is a Williamson County city of about 45,000 people, and many homes here are custom builds with steep, layered rooflines. A box of store-bought strands rarely fits a roof like that. Gaps show up at the corners, and extra wire hangs loose at the ends.
We handle it by measuring each run of roofline first. Then we cut the light wire to that length and hang it with clips, so the lines sit straight and end where the roof ends. The same care goes into trees and shrubs in your yard. The goal is a display that looks planned from the street, not one that was pieced together on a cold Saturday.
Where we hang lights in and around Brentwood
We work across Brentwood and the towns around it. Our crew comes from Franklin, TN, where 1st Class Holiday Lighting is based. We are the holiday lighting side of 1st Class Pressure Cleaning, a Franklin company owned by Curtis Cathcart and Andrew Baker and started in 2023.
If you live just outside the Brentwood city line, ask anyway. These are the other cities on our list:
- Franklin
- Nolensville
- Forest Hills
- Belle Meade
- Thompson’s Station
- Leipers Fork
- Arrington
- Oak Hill
- Spring Hill
Seasonal lighting services for Brentwood homes
Christmas Light Installation: a lit roofline that fits your house. We supply the lights, so there is nothing to buy. Rooflines are usually done with C9 or C7 bulbs on wire that is cut to fit. We plan which rooflines, peaks and windows to light, and in what colours, before anything goes up. This is a seasonal service. We do not install permanent or year-round lighting.
Tree & Landscape Christmas Lighting: the yard lit to match the house. Trees can be wrapped along the trunk and branches, or lit from the ground so the whole canopy glows. Shrubs and beds along the walkway can be lit too. On larger Brentwood lots, lighting the front trees often does as much for the look as the roof itself. Everything runs on a timer, so it comes on at dusk on its own.
How quoting and install day work
You get a free quote before any work is booked. Email Andrew at andrew@firstclasspressurecleaning.com with your address and what you would like lit: roofline, trees, shrubs or all three. Photos of the front of your house are helpful if you have them. We take calls and messages Monday through Sunday, 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
Installs start in the fall, and the calendar tends to fill before Thanksgiving, so it helps to reach out early. You do not have to be on the roof or hold a ladder. Tell us if you will be away and where your outdoor outlets are. We are insured, carrying general liability, workers comp and commercial auto coverage. When we finish, the timer is set and the lights come on at dusk.
Takedown and storage after the holidays
Your lights come down and leave with us, so your garage stays clear. We return in early to mid January to take everything off the roof, trees and shrubs. Takedown is included in the price. You do not need to book it separately or remind us.
After takedown, we store the lights for next season. There is nothing for you to coil, label or stack in the attic. Since each roofline was measured and cut the first year, the wire is already sized to your house when the next season comes. You will not be untangling strands or hunting for a dead bulb on a ladder in December.
How lights attach to roofs, trees and shrubs
Clean lines on the house without nails or staples. On shingle roofs, clips slide under the shingle edge or hook onto the gutter, and the light wire snaps into the clips. On steep pitches and peaks, the wire is cut to each section so it follows the angle without sagging. When the lights come down in January, the clips come off with them.
Trees and shrubs get a different method. On trees we wrap the trunk and main branches, or set lights at the base that shine up into the canopy. Shrubs are lit so the light sits evenly over the plant. Cords are run along the ground and back to your outlets, out of the way of the walkway. Nothing is screwed into bark or siding.
