Tuscany sits in south Meridian on generally larger lots than the north-side communities, and the homes tend to carry more glass and taller elevations. Bigger houses on bigger lots change both the design brief and how the display is viewed.

A house set further back from the street on a larger lot is read from further away, and distance flattens detail. Fine, closely spaced work that looks intricate up close simply does not register from the kerb on a lot like this, whereas strong defined lines do. That argues for a bolder, simpler roofline design here than the same budget would buy on a compact lot, and for using the approach and any mature planting to carry the eye in.
The homes here carry more glass and more height than north-side plans, which means more linear roofline, more peaks and more returns to count, and it means the roofline that matters sits well above safe ladder height. Quoting follows exactly those features, so Tuscany numbers run above the compact subdivisions. It also means this is firmly not a homeowner job, and the January takedown happens at the same height in winter conditions.
Everything attaches with purpose-made clips gripping the shingle edge or the gutter lip, so nothing is driven into fascia, shingles or trim and nothing needs sealing after removal in January. Everything attaches with clips on the shingle edge or gutter lip, so nothing is driven into fascia, shingles or trim on a house at this level.
On a large, tall elevation the instinct is to cover more of it, and that usually backfires: outlining every available edge on a substantial house reads as busy rather than impressive, while emphasising the main roofline and defining the principal peak lets the architecture do the work. We walk the elevation with you and agree what gets lit before anyone measures, which produces a better result and a more sensible number.
Holiday lighting is quoted per roofline after we measure, because linear footage and the count of peaks, dormers and returns matter far more than the square footage of the house. The quote covers design, installation, the lights, a timer, mid-season service, January takedown and summer storage. Larger designs take longer to plan and install, so September is the right time to ask rather than November. Meridian fills up in September and October, and December callers take whatever dates are left.

Yes. A house set further back is read from further away, and distance flattens detail, so fine closely spaced work does not register from the kerb while strong defined lines do. Bolder and simpler is the right call.
More roofline. Taller elevations with more glass mean more linear footage, more peaks and more returns, and quoting follows exactly those features rather than square footage.
On these elevations we would advise against it. The roofline that matters sits well above safe ladder height, and the January takedown happens at the same height in winter conditions.
Usually not. On a large tall elevation, outlining every available edge reads as busy while emphasising the main roofline and defining the principal peak lets the architecture do the work.
September. Larger designs take longer to plan and to install, so the good dates for them go earlier than for a straightforward compact roofline.
