Holiday Lighting Hung and Removed for Pittsburgh Homes
The install is the easy part. The reason people hire us is that we come back and take it all down.
Hanging lights is a nice Saturday in November and a miserable one in January. Roofs here are steep, a lot of them are slate, and by the time the lights need to come down there is ice on everything. We handle the whole season instead, from the first strand up to the last box put away.
Runs are cut to your rooflines so there is no doubled-back slack or dark gap at the corner. Everything clips on, so nothing is nailed or stapled into fascia or shingles. We set the timer, walk it with you after dark, and fix anything that burns out between then and New Year's.

Why People Stop Doing It Themselves
Holiday Light Headaches We Take Off Your Hands
Every one of these is a story a customer has told us at least once.
-
Half a Strand Dead by Week Two
One bad bulb takes out a whole run and it always happens after dark.
-
Store-Bought Lengths Never Fit
You end up with slack bunched at one corner and a dark gap at the other.
-
Ladders on Icy Pittsburgh Roofs
Steep slate and December ice are how people get badly hurt every winter.
-
Lights Still Up in March
Takedown is the job everyone puts off until the neighbors start noticing.
-
Nail Holes in the Fascia
Staples and nails from past years leave permanent damage along the trim.

Lighting a Pittsburgh Winter
What Holiday Lighting Faces in Western Pennsylvania
Six local conditions that decide how holiday lights are installed here.
Ice Loading on Runs
Freezing rain adds real weight, so clips and spacing have to be right.
Steep Slate Rooflines
Older homes here have pitches that rule out any do-it-yourself install.
Early Dark Afternoons
Sunset before five in December means timers matter more than they look.
Old Exterior Circuits
Century-old homes need load spread across outlets so breakers hold.
Squirrels in the Canopy
Tree-heavy streets mean chewed cords, which is why in-season repairs matter.
Wet November Install Days
We schedule early so lights go up before the roofs turn slick.
Customer Feedback
Why Neighbors Keep Calling J&J Back
"This was one of the best experiences I had from landscaping. He was polite, respectful, and flexible. I really appreciate J&J Landscaping — I try and recommend them to everyone who needs it."
"Awesome work on the mulch, made it look very neat, and they also edged it as well (didn't know what that was until he told me)."

Call in October if you can. We start hanging in early November while the weather still cooperates, and the calendar is usually full by the week of Thanksgiving. Lights can stay dark on a timer until you are ready to turn them on.
