Christmas light installation for Amherst's colonial homes and historic village greens
Full-service holiday lighting for Amherst homes, businesses and properties — designed, installed, maintained and taken down by our local crews.
Amherst homeowners hire us because a New Hampshire winter is no place for a wobbly ladder in December. This is a town of well-kept colonials, cape-style houses, and larger lots set back on winding roads off Route 101, where getting lights right means dealing with tall rooflines, deep porches, and mature trees. Families here take the village green and the town's Currier & Ives reputation seriously, and holiday lighting is part of that pride. We handle everything — measuring, custom-cutting commercial-grade LED strands, mounting, and taking it all down after the season — so residents across Amherst can enjoy the display without spending a Saturday untangling last year's tangle. Whether you're near the historic village center or on a wooded acre toward the Hollis line, we build a clean, durable installation that holds up through ice, wind, and the long stretch to spring.
Lighting Amherst, neighborhood by neighborhood
We cover all of Amherst, from the historic village district around the town common to the newer subdivisions and larger residential lots spread across town. Because ZIP boundaries here overlap with surrounding communities, our crews route easily between Amherst and neighboring Bedford, Hollis, and Milford, as well as Goffstown, Manchester, Hudson, and Litchfield. If you're in the older residential blocks near the village green, on the western sections toward Hollis, or on the eastern side closer to Bedford and Manchester, we've got you scheduled. We treat properties along the main Route 101 and 101A corridors and the quieter cul-de-sacs alike, matching the design to the home. Same reliable install, takedown, and mid-season service maintenance no matter which part of Amherst you call home.
Built for Amherst homes
The homes we light in Amherst run heavily toward classic New England colonials, capes, and center-hall farmhouse styles, with a share of newer construction on larger lots. That architecture rewards clean rooflines outlined in warm-white LEDs, wrapped porch columns, and lit garland along entryways — restrained and traditional, matching the town's historic character. On the tree side, Amherst properties are dominated by tall white pines, sugar maples, and mature oaks, plus foundation plantings and specimen evergreens ideal for wrapping. Those big pines are a signature challenge: wrapping a 40-foot evergreen safely takes the right equipment and experience. The other recurring issue is the deep snow load and ice that New Hampshire winters bring, which is why we secure every run to withstand the weight and wind. We tailor each design to the home's period style rather than defaulting to a one-size display.
Why local experience matters
Amherst throws a few specific challenges at holiday lighting. The tree canopy is heavy — mature oaks, maples, and white pines shade many properties, which means we're often lighting large specimen trees, not just rooflines. Colonial and cape homes here tend to have steep, tall roof pitches that demand proper ladder work and secure clip systems rather than staple-and-hope. New Hampshire ice storms and January nor'easters can tear down a poorly anchored run in one night, so we use commercial-grade LEDs and weather-rated connections built to survive the season. And because Amherst residents keep tidy, understated properties, we design displays that look intentional and classic — not overloaded. We also handle timers, photocells, and mid-season fixes if a strand fails during a cold snap.
Pricing in Amherst
Amherst is a primary-residence, mid-market town, and we price accordingly. Packages start around $599 for a straightforward roofline outline, with most Amherst homes landing between $1,200 and $2,800 depending on rooflines, porch detail, and how many of those tall pines and specimen trees you want wrapped. Pricing includes installation, all commercial-grade LED materials, mid-season service, and takedown. We provide a firm quote after reviewing your property — no surprise add-ons.

We recommend booking your Amherst installation in September or October. Spots fill quickly, especially in popular neighborhoods.
Yes! We cover all neighborhoods and surrounding areas of Amherst, NH. Our team is familiar with local regulations and HOA requirements.
Yes — mature white pines are one of the most common requests we get in Amherst, and they're also the trickiest. Wrapping a 30- to 40-foot evergreen requires the right lift equipment and crew experience so the lighting is even and secure top to bottom. We use commercial-grade LED strands rated for cold and moisture, anchored so they don't slide or sag under snow and ice. We'll walk your lot, identify which trees make the best focal points, and recommend whether full wrapping or accent lighting on the lower canopy gives you the look you want without over-lighting the property.
New Hampshire winters are hard on holiday lighting, and Amherst's exposed lots and tall rooflines make wind and ice a real concern. We don't use staples or cheap adhesive clips that pull loose in a storm. Instead we use roofline clips sized to your shingles and gutters, secured connections rated for moisture, and proper strain relief so runs don't tear down under snow load. If something does fail during a January cold snap, our mid-season service covers it — you call, we come out and fix it. The goal is a display that stays lit and stays put from Thanksgiving through the takedown date.
We do. Amherst's historic village district around the town common has older colonials and capes with detailed trim, steep roofs, and deep porches that reward a classic, restrained design. The newer subdivisions and larger-lot homes toward the Bedford and Hollis sides often have more roofline and bigger trees to work with. We tailor the approach to each — warm-white outlines and wrapped columns suit the historic homes, while the larger properties often want a mix of roofline and specimen-tree lighting. Either way, we handle full install, timers, mid-season service, and post-holiday takedown across every part of town.
