Sunnyslope is the bench climbing southwest out of town toward Marsing along Highway 55, where the ground gets rockier, the lots get bigger, and the houses tend to be custom country builds. Shop buildings and barns are part of the property here, and that changes what a lighting quote is even covering.
The window and roof package out here is different from downtown Caldwell: taller glass, more of it facing south and west toward the bench, two-story entries with tall fixed glass over the front door, and stucco or board-and-batten elevations. Then there is the second building. Shop buildings and barns on these properties have their own runs of roofline, and plenty of owners want the shop lit alongside the house — or specifically do not. Either answer is fine, but it needs to be established before a number means anything, which is why an acreage quote here starts with a walk of the property rather than a look at the house.
A lot of these properties have gates, dogs, or both, so we ask for a code or a heads-up call ahead of the appointment rather than showing up and hoping. Driveways are long and equipment lines run farther from the truck to the house than on an in-town lot. Two-story entries with tall fixed glass are common out here and need planned pole work rather than a quick reach — normal for us, but worth knowing before you book. Weather is the other acreage factor: the bench gets cold earlier and holds it, so October booking is genuinely better here than a nice idea.
Every attachment point is a plastic clip — no staples, no nails, nothing driven into stone, stucco or fascia. On a home this size the bigger issue is the cut list: hips, dormers, gable returns and porch columns each need their own measured length of commercial-grade strand, and an installer working off stretched store strings ends up with uneven spacing on exactly the elevation you bought the house for. We measure each run, cut to it, and label the set so year two goes on faster than year one. Wind exposure out here is the other reason stretched strands fail — a properly seated clip on a cut-to-length run is what survives a January blow.
Every quote covers the strands themselves — commercial-grade, cut to your roofline — install, mid-season fixes, January takedown and off-season storage. On a property this size the useful advice is about scope, not price: light the entry gable and the main street-facing lines first, because that is what reads from the road, and add trees, courtyard runs or the back elevation in a later season. Since we store your custom-cut set between seasons, adding on never means starting the measuring over. The honest limit is that we do not do animated or music-synced shows — rooflines, peaks, columns and trees done cleanly is the job we are set up to do well.
Larger elevations take longer to measure, cut and hang, so October is the right call rather than a nice idea — routes fill by mid-November and the bigger jobs need the daylight. Installs run through December for late deciders. Takedown is in January and included, along with off-season storage: on a property this size that is the part owners underestimate most, and it is already in the quote. Anything that goes dark between now and then is a call to (208) 453-6760 and a no-charge fix.

Yes, and we quote it as its own line rather than folding it in. A shop or barn adds real roofline and it should be a decision you make with the number in front of you. Plenty of owners light the house one season and add the shop the next.
Not if we know. Give us a gate code or a call-ahead at booking and tell us about dogs. Long drives mean the truck parks farther from the house and equipment lines run longer, which we plan for rather than discovering on install morning.
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.
