Carriage Hill sits 58 acres off S Middleton Rd near W Greenhurst in Nampa, and it is twenty-odd years old, recorded 1999-2006 across 3 phases. That build history decides more about a holiday lighting design here than the floor plan does, because it sets the roof height, the condition of the fascia the clips grip, and whether there is anything in the yard mature enough to light.

Landscaping put in around 1999 to 2006 now carries genuine trunk and canopy, which is the strongest asset a neighbourhood brings to a holiday display. Wraps read clearly from the street and uplighting fills a canopy rather than washing a shrub, which gives vertical depth a roof outline cannot produce alone. On most Carriage Hill lots a restrained roofline with one or two well-lit trees consistently beats an elaborate roof outline standing by itself, and it usually costs less because quoting follows roofline footage rather than overall effect.
Rooflines from 1999 to 2006 have had enough Idaho freeze-thaw to loosen spikes, start separating gutter seams and make shingle edges brittle, and clips transfer their load to exactly those components. We check during the survey rather than assuming, and say plainly if something wants attention before anything hangs on it. Finding that in September leaves time to act on it; finding it in late November forces a choice between a repair and a display.
The lights are ours rather than something you buy. Commercial-grade LED strands rated for outdoor winter service, cut to your roofline so every run ends exactly where the roof does instead of bunching at a corner the way a fixed-length retail string does. A timer is included, and if a run fails mid-season we come back and fix it. In January we take the set down, service it and store it through the summer, so nothing spends eleven months in your garage and nobody is on a ladder in January.
Everything attaches with purpose-made clips gripping the shingle edge or the gutter lip, so nothing is driven into fascia, shingles or trim and nothing needs sealing after removal in January. There is no performance benefit to a fastener and there is a real water-entry risk, which is why clips are the only method we use on any roofline.
Holiday lighting is quoted per roofline after we measure, because linear footage and the count of peaks, dormers and returns matter far more than the square footage of the house. The quote covers design, installation, the lights, a timer, mid-season service, January takedown and summer storage. Several neighbours on one street can be sequenced in a single visit, which usually gets everyone a better date. Nampa books through September and October, and December callers take what is left.

No, they stay ours. Commercial-grade LED strands rated for outdoor winter service, cut to your roofline, with a timer included. They come down in January, get serviced, and we store them through the summer.
On the established streets here, yes, and it is frequently the highest-value thing to add. Trunk and canopy with enough size to carry a wrap gives a display vertical depth a roof outline cannot, and it often costs less than carrying the outline around another elevation.

No. Purpose-made clips grip the shingle edge or the gutter lip, so nothing is driven into fascia, shingles or trim, and nothing needs sealing after removal in January.
We do, in January, and it is included rather than a separate call. Then the set is serviced and stored over the summer. Taking your own lights down in January is the part people most regret doing themselves.
September or October. Nampa fills up early and by December the choice of installation dates is whatever is left, and booking ahead means the survey happens in reasonable weather.
