Most of Eagle Hills was framed between the late 1960s and early 1980s — single-story ranches and split-levels wrapped around the golf course, with eave lines low enough to reach from a stepladder and fifty years of tree canopy hanging over them. That makes this the one Eagle neighborhood where we'll tell you up front: some of you can do this yourselves.
A straight, single-story eave line on a ranch is the most reachable roofline in Eagle, and pretending otherwise would insult your intelligence. If you're comfortable on a stepladder, a careful homeowner can clip a strand along that front eave and it'll look fine. So here's what you're actually buying from us, stated plainly: commercial-grade C9 or mini LED strands instead of store lights that fail by year three, line custom-cut to your house instead of looped at the corners, a design that handles the split-level step-ups cleanly, a crew that comes back at no charge when a section goes dark in December, takedown in January, and storage with an inspection before next season — meaning you never own a bin of tangled, half-dead strands again. For a lot of Eagle Hills households, that trade is worth it. For some it isn't, and we'd rather you know which one you are before we quote.
The pure ranches here are simple. The split-levels aren't quite: the roofline steps between the single-story wing and the raised half-story, and each step is a height change, a new cut length, and a different clip approach where the upper rake meets the lower eave. Done casually, that junction is where a strand sags or the bulb spacing visibly resets, and it's exactly the spot your eye lands on from the street. It's also where homeowners come off stepladders — the ground under the tall side of a split-level is often a planting bed, not flat lawn. We cut each section to its run so spacing carries through the steps evenly, and the whole line reads as one continuous stroke instead of three strands meeting awkwardly. On a roofline this size that detail is most of the difference between our work and a weekend job.
Eagle Hills lots were planted out decades ago, and by now mature trees overhang a lot of these roofs — which affects a light install in ways newer neighborhoods never see. Branches that hang close to the eave can foul a run or rub against line all winter, so we route around them rather than threading light through limbs; we're not arborists and we don't prune, so a branch sitting right on the gutter line may honestly limit what a section can look like until it's trimmed. Canopy also drops debris all fall, and a gutter packed with fifty years' worth of leaf load is a soggy place to seat a gutter clip. Worth knowing: our quotes are per roofline and the walkthrough is free, so if a tree makes one section not worth lighting this year, we'll design around it instead of billing you for a compromised run.
A smaller roofline doesn't change the method. Attachment is plastic clips sized to the surface — gutter-lip clips along the eaves, shingle-tab clips where a rake needs outlining — and never staples, nails, screws, or adhesive. On homes this age that rule matters more, not less: fascia boards from the 1970s have taken fifty years of weather, and punching staples into them starts problems a clip never will. The strands are ours: commercial-grade C9 or mini LED, cut to your sections and labeled. We don't hang customer-owned lights, because a strand that's been in a garage since 2019 will pick the third week of December to die, and no one remembers the strand was old — they remember who hung it. Booking runs October through the first week of November for a Thanksgiving glow; routes fill by mid-November, and December installs are possible when weather allows.
The per-roofline quote covers everything the season needs: the lights, the install, mid-season repairs at no charge if a section goes dark, takedown in January, and off-season storage with each section inspected and tested before next fall. Because Eagle Hills rooflines are lower and simpler than the estate work we do elsewhere in Eagle, these installs move quickly — which usually means we can fit this neighborhood in even when taller custom jobs are eating the calendar, and a per-roofline number here lands on the modest end of what Eagle homes run.

Sometimes no, and we'll say so. If your eave is straight, low, and reachable, a careful homeowner can do a respectable job. What our quote buys is commercial-grade strands cut to your house, even spacing through the split-level steps, free mid-December repairs, January takedown, and storage with an off-season inspection. If that list doesn't sound valuable to you, keep your stepladder — genuinely.
The step between roof heights. Each transition needs its own cut length and clip approach, and it's where DIY runs visibly sag or reset their bulb spacing — right at the spot the street sees first. The ground under the tall side is also usually a planting bed rather than flat lawn, which is bad stepladder footing. We cut each section to its run so the line reads as one continuous stroke.
Never. Plastic clips only — on the gutter lip and shingle tabs — no staples, nails, screws, or adhesive. On 1970s-era fascia that's taken fifty years of weather, staple holes invite rot and flaking that a clip can't cause. Everything we attach comes off at takedown in January.
It can. We route line around overhanging limbs rather than through them, and we don't prune — so a branch resting on the gutter line may limit how a section looks until it's trimmed. We'll flag that at the free walkthrough and design around it instead of charging you for a run a tree is going to spoil.
No — every install uses our commercial-grade C9 or mini LED strands, cut to your roofline. Aging store strands fail in sections once real cold arrives, usually mid-December, and we can't stand behind line we didn't supply. Ours are included in the quote, along with takedown and storage, so your garage bins can finally retire.
Nothing extra — takedown is inside the per-roofline quote. We pull the lights and clips in January, box the sections labeled for your house, and store them through the off-season, where each run gets inspected and tested before next fall. If a section goes dark during December, that call is free too: (208) 453-6760.
