Christmas lighting in Cypress
That is worth designing for. A roofline run read across still water at night is one of the most striking things available on a Cypress lot, and it costs nothing extra beyond thinking about which elevation faces the water.
On the ground
What matters on a Cypress roofline
Waterfront reflection
Lake and canal frontage doubles the display. We plan the run for the elevation the water sees.
Wide frontages
Cypress lots are broad and often seen at an angle. The run has to read from the approach, not just head-on.
Newer rooflines
Clean, simple pitches take a crisp line. Custom-cut runs, evenly spaced, no sag.
Timing
The 2026 booking calendar
We are booking now. Dates are allocated in the order they are confirmed.
August – September
Booking opens and availability is best. Returning customers get first refusal on last year’s date.
October
The calendar fills. Thanksgiving-weekend slots are usually gone by mid-month.
Early November
Most installs happen, tested and timed well before Thanksgiving.
January
Takedown, included. We label and store your runs for next season if you want.
Included
What every install includes
Commercial-grade lamps
Custom-cut to your roofline, not retail strings. Serviceable, consistent colour, and they survive the season.
Timers set to your evenings
Installed, programmed and tested so the display runs itself from dusk.
Service through the season
If a run fails in December we come back. That is the difference between a professional install and a weekend on a ladder.
Takedown in January
Removal included, with labelled storage of your runs for next year.

What Houston-area homeowners say
I had wanted to do outdoor lighting for years, but it was hard to find a company to give a quote or even return my call. These guys came to my home and listened to my ideas, they made valuable suggestions. The installation was simple and their crew was very respectful. The end result is perfect lighting for my home.Charles Crixell
We are really enjoying our backyard every evening now, which looks like a fairyland. He did lots of reworking, repairing and adding to an old system. I very seldom give reviews, but I really was so pleased with the service and work. He came when he said he would and did what he said he was going to.June Stanley
Elwin was very professional. I watched him the whole time he was restoring my landscape lighting. He replaced bulbs for better lighting, installed new wiring, and did a great job of hiding wires. He arranged for my unit to run off of one box instead of three. My landscape lighting means the world to me.Luong Tieu Hung
The alternative
Tired of booking this every year?
If you want lights every season without the annual scramble, permanent roofline lighting is installed once and stays. Soft warm white every night of the year, team colours on game day, full colour at Christmas, all from your phone — and invisible from the street by day.
It costs more up front and then costs nothing each season. Plenty of our holiday customers switch to it after two or three years of seasonal installs.
Answers
Cypress Christmas lighting questions
We back onto a lake — can you light that side too?
Yes, and it is usually the best value on a Cypress waterfront lot. The rear elevation and any bank-side trees read twice over in the reflection.
When should I book Christmas lights?
Late summer for the best availability. Bookings open through August and September and the popular dates around Thanksgiving are usually gone by mid-October.
How much does Christmas light installation cost?
It is priced by linear footage of roofline plus any tree or landscape elements. Send us your address and we can measure the roofline from satellite before visiting.
Do you take the lights down?
Yes, takedown in January is included, and we will label and store your runs for the following year.
Do you charge extra to travel to Cypress?
No. Cypress is inside our normal service area with no travel surcharge.
