Southern Ridge is current construction wrapping toward Osborne Park on Nampa's south edge — the vinyl has not chalked, the stucco has not stained, and every seal is still under warranty. On a house this new the job is protecting that, not working around damage somebody else did.
These Craftsman plans are brand new: factory-fresh vinyl, unstained stucco, seamless aluminum gutter with perfect clip purchase. That makes the mechanical side of a light install about as clean as it gets — sound lip, predictable seat, nothing to work around. What it raises instead is the finish question. A staple or nail through new trim is a water path and a warranty conversation in one, which is why nothing here gets fastened into siding, stucco or fascia. Clips grip the gutter lip or shingle edge and come off in January with no evidence. The elevations are the variable that actually moves the quote: the two-story Craftsman plans stack a garage return, a main eave and a gable peak.
Southern Ridge is a current build, which means some neighbors have moving trucks in the driveway while others still have a stucco crew or a framing pallet next door. That is normal for a phased subdivision and it puts fine construction dust and stucco overspray in the air right beside finished houses. For scheduling it occasionally means working around site traffic on your street, so mention it at booking if that is your situation. Sprinkler heads on a new lot are also often still throwing wider than they need to, hitting ground-floor glass and fresh stucco — not a lighting problem, but worth knowing before something stains.
Every attachment point is a plastic clip sized to your gutter profile or shingle edge. Nothing gets stapled, nailed or glued, which matters more on newer construction than people expect: fiber cement and LP-style trim hold paint well until something punctures them, and a fastener hole in a factory finish is both a warranty conversation and a water path. Seamless aluminum K-style gutter takes a clean clip, so installs on Southern Ridge rooflines go quickly and come down in January without a trace. The one thing that does slow us down here is height — the Craftsman two-story plans put a gable peak above standard ladder reach — and that is ladder time, not damage risk.
One per-roofline quote covers commercial-grade C9 or mini LED strands supplied and cut for your house, clip-only install, mid-season fixes at no charge, January takedown, and off-season storage with the set inspected before next season. Because the set is cut to your elevation, year two is faster and cheaper in labor than year one, and the lights stay ours to maintain rather than yours to store. The honest version: if you are in one of the single-story plans here with an easy front eave, DIY is a fair call. The two-story elevations with a stacked entry gable are where a ladder day turns into a real job.
Book in October or the first week of November. Installs go cleanest on a dry roof above freezing, routes fill by mid-November, and early bookings are lit by Thanksgiving. Late deciders still get installed through December. In January we come back, take everything down, and store the set — inspected and repaired in the off-season rather than discovered dead on the roof next November. Because the strands are cut to your elevation and labeled, the second season goes on noticeably faster than the first.

Not the way we install it. Nothing is fastened into siding, stucco, trim or roof — clips grip the gutter lip or shingle edge only. The thing that would genuinely put a new-build warranty at risk is a staple or nail through a factory finish, which is exactly what we refuse to do.
Usually not, we just plan for it. Site traffic and a materials pallet next door can affect where the truck parks and when we work. Tell us at booking and the crew arrives with a plan rather than improvising around a delivery.
We supply them. Every install uses commercial-grade C9 or mini LED strands custom-cut to your roofline. We do not hang store-bought strands — a roof in December is the wrong place to find out a four-year-old set has a dead section, and supplying the lights ourselves is what lets us include mid-season fixes in the quote.
No. Every attachment point is a plastic clip matched to what you actually have — gutter lip, shingle edge or ridge. Nothing is stapled, nailed, screwed or glued. When the lights come down in January there is no evidence they were ever up, which is the whole standard.
Call or text (208) 453-6760 and we come fix it at no charge. That is part of the job, not a separate service call. Commercial-grade strands fail far less than store strings, but wind, squirrels and one crushed bulb still happen — you should not spend a Saturday diagnosing it on a ladder.
We come back, take everything down, and store your set through the off-season, where it gets inspected and repaired before next year. No bins in the garage, no untangling next November, and no second invoice — takedown and storage are already in the quote.
