Christmas Light Takedown and Removal

What is Christmas light takedown?

Christmas light takedown means removing every strand and clip after the season without damaging shingles, tile, or gutters. We take down the lights we install for homes, HOAs, and businesses across Jacksonville, Clay County, and St. Johns County, Florida. If you hung your own lights and want help getting them down, call 904-523-2248 and ask.

What happens at takedown

Every strand comes off the roofline, trees, palms and walkways.
Every clip is removed, so nothing is left on shingles, tile, or gutters.
Cords, stakes and timers are picked up.

When should you take down Christmas lights in Northeast Florida?

Most households take lights down in the first weeks of January. If you live in a community with an association, check the rules, because many set a date when holiday decor must be down. Lights left up into spring sit through more sun, rain and wind than they need to, so sooner is better for the strands.

Why not just pull them down?

Pulling a strand from the ground can lift shingle edges, crack tile, or bend a gutter. Taking lights down by hand, clip by clip, protects the roof.

Planning ahead

Takedown is a good time to decide what you would change next season, such as adding the peaks or a second palm, while the layout is fresh.
