Decatur Estates sits between Ten Mile and Linder just south of McMillan, platted 2016 to 2019 across three phases. It is a small pocket rather than a sprawling development, and in a neighbourhood this size a handful of lit houses sets the tone for the whole street.

In a 500-lot development one lit house disappears. In a small pocket like Decatur Estates, three or four lit rooflines read as a neighbourhood that decorates, and that is a genuinely different effect. If several of you want the same week it is worth coordinating: it is more efficient for us to sequence, it usually gets everyone a better date, and the result is far more than the sum of the individual houses.
Platted 2016 to 2019, these roofs are well inside their service life with straight fascia, a true gutter line and a uniform shingle edge, so a measured and cut run sits dead straight. Landscaping is the constraint: trees planted with the houses are only now reaching a size where a wrap is worth considering, and on the newest phase they are not there yet. For most homes here the roofline is still the whole composition.
Everything attaches with purpose-made clips that 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. These roofs are new enough to be inside or near warranty, so nothing is driven into a shingle edge or fascia board, and nothing needs sealing after January removal.
Plans off McMillan tend to build upward, which means the roofline that matters is above safe ladder height and the January takedown happens on the same elevation in worse weather. That is the practical reason to hire this out here. It also means restraint pays: emphasising the main roofline and defining the entry peak reads better on a tall elevation than outlining every available edge.
Holiday lighting is quoted per roofline after we measure, because linear footage and the number 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. A small neighbourhood books out fast once a few neighbours start, so early is better than usual here. Meridian books out early, and the best dates go to people who ask in September and October rather than December.

A big one, visually. Three or four lit rooflines in a pocket this size read as a neighbourhood that decorates, which one lit house in a 500-lot development never does. Coordinating with neighbours is worth asking about.
On the 2016 streets they are just reaching a size where it is worth considering; on the newest phase not yet. For most homes here the roofline is still the whole composition, so getting that line clean matters most.
Because north Meridian plans build upward, so the roofline that matters is above safe ladder height, and the January takedown happens on that same elevation in worse weather. That is the honest reason rather than the difficulty of the lights.
Usually not on a tall elevation. Emphasising the main roofline and defining the entry peak reads better than outlining every available edge, which comes across as busy rather than impressive.
Earlier than usual here. A small neighbourhood fills quickly once a few neighbours start, and Meridian as a whole books out in September and October.
