Sera Sole sits at Swan Falls Road and Stagecoach Way with Hubble plans from 1,446 up to 3,654 square feet, and it is far enough south that there is no mature windbreak between these rooflines and open high desert. Wind is the factor that matters most for an install out here.
A light run that holds fine in a sheltered central Kuna subdivision can work loose on an exposed Sera Sole roofline, because the wind comes off open ground with nothing to slow it. The answer is attachment density and clip selection rather than hoping: more clips at closer spacing on the windward elevations, and the right clip profile for the edge it is gripping. It costs a little more labour and it is the difference between a roofline that stays straight through January and one you are calling about in December.
We supply the lights, and they stay ours. Commercial-grade LED strands rated for outdoor winter service handle wind loading, freeze-thaw and UV in a way retail strings simply are not built for, and they are custom-cut to your roofline so runs end where the roof ends rather than bunching. In January we take them down, service them and store your set through the summer, which on a house with this much roofline is a meaningful amount of storage you get back.
Sera Sole plans run 1,446 to 3,654 square feet on fairly uniform 0.144 acre lots, which means the larger plans built upward and carry considerably more roofline, more peaks and more returns than the smaller ones. Holiday lighting is quoted per roofline after measuring linear footage and counting peaks, dormers and returns, so the spread across this subdivision is real and we measure rather than quoting from the plan name.
The larger Sera Sole plans put roofline well above safe ladder height, on 0.144 acre lots that offer very little level ground to set a ladder on. Working a peak in December, on a narrow side yard, on ground that may be frozen, is the single most common way homeowners get hurt doing their own lights. That is the honest reason to hire this out, and it applies to the January takedown just as much as the installation.
Everything attaches with clips on the shingle edge or gutter lip. Nothing is stapled or nailed into fascia, shingles or trim, which matters on houses this new. Because clips load the gutter lip, and because Sera Sole gutters fill with fine desert silt that compacts and can work hangers loose, we check the gutters before installing and will tell you if they should be cleared first. We cannot clear them once the lights are on. Book in September or October for the best dates.

Not with the right attachment. Exposed south Kuna rooflines need higher clip density at closer spacing on the windward elevations and the correct clip profile for the edge being gripped. That is a deliberate choice rather than a standard install, and it is what keeps the run straight through January.
No, we do, and they remain ours. Commercial-grade LED strands rated for outdoor winter service handle wind loading, freeze-thaw and UV in a way retail strings are not built for. They come down in January, get serviced, and we store your set over the summer.
Plan size. Sera Sole runs 1,446 to 3,654 square feet on fairly uniform 0.144 acre lots, so the larger plans built upward and carry considerably more roofline, peaks and returns. Quoting is per roofline after measuring, not per lot.
On the smaller plans possibly; on the larger ones we would strongly advise against it. Roofline well above ladder height, a narrow side yard, December weather and possibly frozen ground is how people get hurt, and the January takedown carries the same risk in worse conditions.
No. Everything attaches with clips gripping the shingle edge or gutter lip, so nothing is driven into shingles, fascia or trim. On houses this new that matters, and clips come off cleanly in January with nothing to seal afterwards.
Usually yes. Sera Sole gutters fill with fine desert silt that compacts and can work hangers loose, and light clips load the gutter lip. We cannot clear a gutter once the install is on it, so gutters first is the correct sequence.
