Three to five feet — that's the side yard on most lots in Greens at Ridgecrest, where homes built from 1999 to 2016 sit packed on parcels down to a tenth of an acre against Ridgecrest Golf Club. On lots this tight, where a ladder can stand matters as much as where the lights go, and we plan both before the truck arrives.
The rooflines in here run from late-90s two-story plans to mid-2010s builder stock, and none of them are the problem — the lots are. A side yard three to five feet wide with a fence close to the wall doesn't take a full ladder rig at a working angle, so runs that wrap toward a side elevation get planned around what's actually stageable: front-yard and driveway sets for the street-facing lines, and honest talk about any stretch we can't reach safely. We work these houses the same way we clean their windows — staged from the front or the fairway side, never dragging equipment through a neighbor's side yard. If your side gate is padlocked or your fence backs onto a common-area path, say so when you book. On lots this compact, showing up with the right plan is the difference between a two-hour install and a rescheduled one.
Here's the honest-money conversation we have on most course-adjacent installs: the roofline your neighbors and your own front window see is the street side, and that's where a lighting budget shows. The rear elevation faces Ridgecrest Golf Club, and in December the fairway behind your fence is mostly empty — a full rear roofline package back there is light you'll rarely see and golfers won't either, because they're not out in January. Some owners want the back lit anyway for the patio view, and that's a fine reason; we just want it to be a decision, not a default. Because homes here sit close enough that one lit roofline makes the whole streetscape, a clean front run carries further in this subdivision than almost anywhere in Nampa. We'll quote the front, and quote the rear separately so you can choose.
Every strand hangs on plastic clips: gutter clips along the eave lip, shingle-tab clips on gable rakes. No staples, no nails, no screws, no adhesive — nothing that leaves a hole in fascia or a mark on trim when it comes down in January. The strands themselves are ours: commercial-grade C9 or mini LED, custom-cut to your roofline so the run ends at the corner instead of looping back on itself. We don't hang customer-owned lights at all. Store-bought strands a few seasons old are the most common failure we see — they die one section at a time, reliably in mid-December — and our no-charge mid-season repair promise only works on strands we supplied and cut. If a section of ours goes dark, you call, we come fix it, no charge, and on these compact lots most repairs are a fast ladder set from the driveway.
Two pieces of homework make this neighborhood easy. First, access: if your entry has a gate or call box, give us the code when you book, same as our window crews get. Second, the HOA — communities like this commonly set windows for when displays go up and come down, and some address color on street-facing elevations. We don't guess at your association's rules; get them from your board in writing and we'll build to them. Remember that install date and display date are different things: we can hang in October and the lights sit dark until whatever date you're allowed to switch on. The schedule itself runs October into the first week of November, lights tested and ready before Thanksgiving, routes full by mid-November. December installs happen for late deciders when weather allows, but the golf-course pocket doesn't get special treatment from frost.
Holiday lighting is quoted per roofline after we see the house — free quote, priced on your actual eave and gable footage, with the front and rear elevations quoted separately so the fairway-side decision stays yours. That number includes the lights, the install, mid-season repairs at no charge, takedown in January, and off-season storage with an inspection before next fall — nothing stacked in the garage of a house that doesn't have storage to spare. We don't do animated or music-synced displays, wreaths, or garland; clean roofline light is the product. 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 or text (208) 453-6760 with your address and gate code and we'll get you a per-roofline number before the October slots close.

Yes — it just takes planning instead of improvising. Street-facing rooflines stage from your driveway and front yard, which every lot here has room for. The tight three-to-five-foot side yards mostly affect runs that wrap toward a side elevation, and we'll tell you on the walkthrough if a stretch can't be reached safely rather than promising it and skipping it on install day.
Only if you'll enjoy it from your own patio, and we'll say that plainly. The course is quiet in December, so rear roofline light mostly performs for an empty fairway. The street side is what your neighbors and your front window actually see. We quote front and rear separately so you can put the budget where it shows — most owners here light the front only.
Gate code, yes — give it to us at booking like you would for a window visit. HOA approval is your side of the homework: check your CC&Rs for display windows or color rules and send us what they say, and we'll build to it. We can install in October and leave everything dark until your association's allowed turn-on date, since install and display dates are separate.
Plastic clips only — gutter clips on the eave, shingle-tab clips on rakes. No staples, nails, screws, or adhesive anywhere, so nothing pierces fascia or trim, and everything comes off clean in January. The strands clipped in are our commercial-grade C9 or mini LED, cut to your roofline. We don't hang store-bought or customer-owned strands under any arrangement.
Call (208) 453-6760 and we fix it at no charge — mid-season repairs are inside the quote, not an extra. Runs are cut in sections, so a failure usually takes one stretch dark rather than the whole roofline, and a section swap on these lots is normally a quick single-ladder visit from the driveway. If ice makes a roof edge unsafe that day, we come back the first clear morning.
Book in October or the first week of November — routes fill by mid-November, and December installs depend on weather windows. The per-roofline quote covers the whole season: our lights cut to your house, install, no-charge mid-season fixes, January takedown, and off-season storage with inspection. The quote itself is free, and lights are up before Thanksgiving on any October booking.
