Do Christmas light installers hang wreaths?

Yes. We hang lit wreaths on roof peaks, over the garage and above the front entry, in 24, 30, 36, 48 or 60 inch sizes. They plug into the same setup as your roofline lights, so they come on and go off together, and we take them down and store them in January with everything else.

Where wreaths look best

• The peak over the front entry, centered under the roofline lights
• The peak over the garage, so the whole front feels balanced
• Above the front door, on the wall or on the door itself
• Gates and fences, for homes with a courtyard entry

One customer this season put a 36 inch wreath on the entry peak and another on the garage peak, with the roofline in a red, green and white pattern. That pair framed the house better than one big wreath would have.

What size should I pick?

Measure the flat area under the peak or above the garage, then pick a wreath that fills about half to two thirds of that width. On most San Antonio homes that lands between 30 and 48 inches. Too small and it disappears from the street. Too big and it crowds the peak and the roofline lights around it.

If you are unsure, ask for two sizes on your quote. We can show both on your house so you can compare.

How they stay up

Big lit wreaths are heavier than they look, and our wind gusts are real. We hang them with anchor points made for the surface, whether that is siding, brick, stone or trim, and never by nailing into your house. Pros also use the trip up the ladder to look over the roof edge and gutters, the way this Dallas guide to hanging lights like a pro suggests, so we tell you if we spot anything that needs attention.

How wreaths fit the rest of the lights

A wreath looks best when it matches the roofline. Lighting guides recommend one color plan across the whole front of the house, so a warm white roofline gets warm white wreaths, and a multicolor or patterned roofline gets wreaths that pick up the same colors. Your colors and patterns are covered in custom color patterns.

What does a wreath cost?

It depends on the size. Tell us where you want it and which size, and we add it to your quote, with a picture of how it looks on your house whenever the trees allow a clear shot. See how that works in see your house lit up before you buy.

Can you hang my own wreaths?

Yes. Let us know before install day and we hang them while we are there.

Roofline lights start at $7 a foot on a one-story home and $9 on a two-story, with a $649 minimum. Get your price on our Christmas light installation page.
