Holiday Lighting & Permanent LED Installation in Fergus

Electricity reached the village of Fergus in 1890, and some of its stone houses were built before that. An older house can have few outdoor outlets, or none on the front. So the first thing we look for is a weatherproof outlet we can use. Where there is none, we plan around what you have, and an electrician can add one before the install.

Stone and old mortar are poor places for clips and adhesive, so the display goes on the eaves, fascia, gutter line, railings and trees. Snow and ice load strands quickly. A loose strand on a roof edge sags first, so clips go close together along runs that catch drifts. Cords are routed off walkways, so nothing gets buried or shovelled by mistake.

Homes with plain fascia and soffits suit permanent LED roofline lighting well. Permanent lights stay on the trim all year, so choose the layout once and check the fascia is sound first. Book in autumn, after the leaves are down and before the ground freezes. Holiday lighting starts from $750. Roofline length, trees and the distance the cords must run all move the final figure, and the free written quote shows each part.

What we plan for in Fergus

• Power: we look for a weatherproof outlet first, and plan cord runs from it that stay clear of walks and deep snow.
• Stone walls: we plan strands along the eaves, fascia and trees, and avoid fixing anything into old stone or mortar.
• Snow load: we add clips along exposed edges where drifts build, since heavy snow makes a loose strand sag.
• Steep gables: we note tall or steep sections early, and plan them around Working at Heights certified crew and stable footing.
• Permanent lights: we check that the fascia and soffit are sound before roofline lighting is fixed on for good.
