Christmas lights that fit Franklin’s steep, custom rooflines
Clean, straight lines along every peak and gable. Many homes around Franklin are custom built, with steep rooflines that step up and down across the front of the house. A box of store-bought strands rarely fits that shape. We measure each roofline, cut the light wire to that exact length, and hang it with clips so the lights sit tight along the edge.
Franklin is home to more than 83,000 people, and a lot of those homes glow in December. Plenty of homeowners would like a display that looks planned without spending a cold weekend on a ladder. That is the job we do. You get the lit house, and you skip the climbing, the buying and the storing.

Our two seasonal lighting services
Seasonal Christmas Light Installation covers the house itself. A bright, even line along your roofline that comes on at dusk. We supply commercial-grade lights, design the display around your house, then measure, cut and clip the lights along the rooflines you choose. The lights run on a timer, so nobody has to flip a switch each night.
Seasonal Tree & Landscape Christmas Lighting covers the yard. Trees and shrubs that match the house instead of sitting dark beside it. We wrap trunks and branches or light shrubs along the front of the home, so the whole lot looks like one display.
Both services are seasonal only. We do not install permanent or year-round lighting, and we are not taking commercial displays this season.
How quoting and install day work
A clear quote first, then lights on your house. Quotes are free. Email Andrew at andrew@firstclasspressurecleaning.com with your address and what you would like lit, such as the roofline, a few trees or the shrubs out front. We answer calls and emails Monday through Sunday, 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
Before anything goes up, we plan the display with you: which rooflines, which trees and shrubs, and what colors. On install day we measure each run, cut the wire to fit, clip it in place and set the timer. Installs usually start in the fall, and calendars tend to fill before Thanksgiving, so it helps to reach out early.
Takedown and storage after the holidays
Your lights come down without you lifting a finger. Takedown is included in the price, and we schedule it for early to mid January. We remove the lights from your roofline, trees and shrubs, then store them for next season.
That means nothing for you to buy, nothing to untangle and nothing taking up space in your attic or garage. When the next season comes around, you can reach out again and we will plan that year’s display with you.
Where the lights go on a Franklin home
Each part of the house and yard gets its own method. Here is how we handle the areas most Franklin homeowners ask about. Steep roofs mean ladder work at height, and we are insured for it.
- Rooflines: measured run by run, wire cut to length, and hung with clips along the edge.
- Peaks and gables: lights follow each angle so the shape of the house shows after dark.
- Trees: trunks and branches wrapped so the tree reads clearly from the street.
- Shrubs: lit to frame the front of the house and tie the yard to the roofline.
