Ten Mile Crossing is the newest thing Meridian has built — office and retail glass at the I-84 interchange going up next to residential phases that are still open dirt. Lighting here is primarily a commercial job, and commercial scheduling is the constraint that matters most.
The commercial side here is curtain wall, storefront glass and office elevations where attachment happens at the roof edge, parapet or canopy rather than a residential gutter — clips and purpose-made anchors matched to the edge detail we find on site, with nothing driven into the building. The residential and multifamily phases are some of the newest housing in Meridian: vinyl windows, tall two-story great-room glass on rear elevations, and seamless gutter with sound clip purchase. Those two jobs price and schedule completely differently, so the first question at a walk-through is which one we are actually quoting.
An interchange location means traffic patterns and tenant hours drive the install window more than our route does. Ladder or lift work near an entry or a drive-up aisle should happen before open hours, and between Thanksgiving and Christmas those aisles do not stay quiet. We schedule installs early and set the January takedown the same way. For multi-tenant buildings it is worth confirming who authorizes work on the facade before a quote means anything — a tenant usually cannot approve a shared exterior on their own.
Nothing gets stapled, nailed or glued to your building. Parapet edges, sign bands and entry canopies take clips and purpose-made anchors matched to the edge detail we find on site. On flat and low-slope roofs there is usually no hung gutter to clip to at all, so runs get seated at the roof edge or parapet cap without blocking a scupper or internal drain — a blocked drain in a freeze-thaw week is a far more expensive problem than a dark light section. Installs and takedowns can be scheduled before open hours so the ladder is gone before your customers or tenants arrive.
The quote covers commercial-grade LED strands supplied and cut to your building, installation, mid-season fixes if a run goes dark mid-December, January takedown, and off-season storage. For tenants and property managers that means one invoice and no equipment to account for at year end. Install windows can be set before open hours, and we will work around a tenant improvement or a delivery schedule if you tell us about it at the walk-through. We do not do animated displays or interior decorating — edges, entries, sign bands and trees, done cleanly, is the scope.
Book in October if you want the display up for the first shopping weekend after Thanksgiving; commercial routes fill even earlier than residential ones because the install has to fit your hours rather than ours. Before-open installs are normal for us. Mid-season fixes are included — a dark run over an entry on a Friday night is our problem to solve, not something you should be pricing out in December. Takedown happens in January, on a schedule set around your traffic, and the set goes into our storage until next year.

Usually only with the property manager or building owner's sign-off, since the exterior is typically shared rather than tenant space. Worth settling before the quote. Nothing is driven into the building and everything comes down in January leaving no trace, which generally makes that an easy conversation.
Yes, and here it normally should. Ladder work near an entry or drive-up aisle belongs before open hours, especially through December. Tell us your hours at the walk-through and both the install and the January takedown get scheduled around them.
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.
