Off Franklin Blvd near Cherry Lane, Franklin Village runs newer builder plans on tight lots — houses close enough together that a lit roofline on one place makes the dark eaves next door obvious, and vinyl-fenced side yards narrow enough that ladder staging is something we plan before we show up, not after.
Franklin Village is newer construction, which is good news for holiday lighting. The fascia is sound, the gutters are modern K-style with a clean lip for clips, and the eave lines are the simple builder geometry that a C9 run reads well on: a front eave, a garage return, maybe a gable over the entry. What complicates the job here isn't the roof, it's the lot. Houses sit close, side yards are narrow, and the vinyl privacy fencing means ladder placement gets planned around gates and fence lines rather than just walking anywhere we want. We handle that the same way we handle window routes in this subdivision — we confirm access before we arrive, ask about locked gates and dogs up front, and stage from your driveway and front yard wherever the run allows so we're not leaning anything over a neighbor's fence.
Every install uses commercial-grade C9 or mini LED strands that we supply and custom-cut to your roofline — measured to the actual eave, garage return, and gable, not looped at the corner where a stock 25-footer ran out. We don't hang customer-owned lights, and the reason is boring and practical: store-bought strands a few seasons old fail by the section, almost always in mid-December, and we won't put our name on a roofline that's going to go half-dark right when you want it lit. Because the strands are ours, the mid-season guarantee is real — if a section goes out in December, call and we come fix it at no charge. On a street this tight, where every house's roofline is in full view of the next, a half-dark run is exactly the look nobody wants.
The install window in Nampa is earlier than most people think. Clips seat properly under shingle tabs when the shingles are still warm enough to flex, and nobody should be working an eave line once frost starts holding on the north side of a roof through the morning. So we book Franklin Village from October into the first week of November, and the lights are up, tested, and sitting dark on a timer well before Thanksgiving — you flip them on whenever you're ready. Routes fill by mid-November, and while we keep installing through December for late deciders, December work depends on catching dry, above-freezing days that Nampa's valley-floor winters don't hand out generously. The school-run rhythm this neighborhood lives on doesn't matter much here either — installs happen outside on the roofline, so you don't need to be home.
Attachment is plastic clips, full stop — gutter clips on the eave lip, shingle-tab clips on gables. No staples, no nails, no screws, no adhesive, so your fascia and shingles are exactly as the builder left them when the clips come off in January. And here's the honest part: if you've got one of the single-story plans in here with a low, straightforward eave line, you could reasonably do this yourself with a stepladder and a Saturday. Where we earn the job is everything around the hanging — lights cut to fit instead of bought to approximate, a December repair guarantee, takedown in January, and storage so your garage shelves stay clear. Two-story plans and entry gables are a different story; that's ladder work most homeowners shouldn't be doing over concrete in November, and it's most of what we hang here.
Holiday lighting is quoted per roofline after we see the house — a free quote, priced on your actual eave and gable footage rather than a flat package. That one number covers the season: the lights themselves, install, mid-season repairs if a section goes dark, takedown in January, and off-season storage with an inspection before the strands go back up next fall. Nothing to buy, nothing to untangle, nothing stacked in the garage. We don't do animated or music-synced displays, wreaths, or garland — just clean roofline light done properly. Reflekt was founded in April 2025 by Hunter Stevens and Ethan Seusy, is locally owned and fully insured, and holds 4.9 stars across 125+ Google reviews.

Call in October or the first week of November. Installs run through that window while shingles are still warm enough for clips to seat without cracking a tab, and routes fill by mid-November. The lights go up dark on a timer, so an early install doesn't mean an early display — you turn them on whenever you're ready, and most people wait for Thanksgiving week.
You don't need to be home — the work is all exterior. Access is worth a heads-up though: Franklin Village lots run tight side yards with vinyl fencing and gates, so if a run wraps toward a side elevation, tell us about locked gates or dogs when you book and we'll plan ladder staging around it instead of improvising on your street.
No — that's the point of clips. Gutter clips grip the gutter lip and shingle-tab clips slide under the tab edge, and both come off clean in January. We never use staples, nails, screws, or adhesive, so there are no holes in your fascia and nothing stuck to your shingles. On newer construction like this, keeping the builder's work untouched is exactly why we won't fasten anything.
No. Every install uses our commercial-grade C9 or mini LED strands, cut to your roofline. Store-bought strands that have been through a few seasons fail one section at a time, usually in mid-December, and we can't guarantee a repair on lights we didn't supply. With our strands, a dark section is our problem — call and we fix it at no charge.
Everything for the season: the lights, the install, mid-season fixes if a section goes out, takedown in January, and storage of your cut strands through the off-season with an inspection before next fall. It's quoted per roofline after we see the house — a two-story with an entry gable is a different job than a single-story eave line, and the quote reflects your actual house. The quote itself is free.
Honestly, maybe not for the hanging alone. A low, simple eave line is a reasonable DIY job if you're comfortable on a stepladder. What you're really buying from us is the rest: strands cut to fit, a no-charge December repair if a section dies, January takedown, and storage. If your plan is two-story or has an entry gable, that math changes — that's ladder work worth handing off.
