There’s something special about Arvada during the holidays. From the glowing storefronts along Olde Town to the quiet cul-de-sacs in west Arvada lighting up block by block, this city takes Christmas seriously. If you’ve been watching your neighbors’ homes transform each December and wondering how to get that look without spending your own weekends on a ladder in the cold, professional Christmas light installation is the answer.
At Holiday Light Professionals, we serve homeowners across Arvada and the Denver metro with full-service holiday lighting — design, installation, in-season maintenance, January takedown, and storage. Here’s what Arvada homeowners should know before booking.
Why Arvada Homes Look So Good Lit Up — and What It Takes
Arvada’s housing mix is part of the charm: historic homes near Olde Town, mid-century ranches in the established neighborhoods, and newer builds up by Candelas and Leyden Rock. Each style lights differently. A ranch with a long, low roofline begs for a clean single run of C9 bulbs along the gutter. A two-story home with gables and dormers needs a thoughtful layout to look balanced rather than busy.
That’s where a professional design consultation matters. Before we ever touch a ladder, we map your roofline, walk your property, and design a display that fits your home’s architecture — not a one-size-fits-all template. The result looks intentional, because it is.
Temporary Professional Installation vs. DIY
Many Arvada homeowners start out hanging lights themselves, and many of them call us after one season of fighting tangled strands, dead bulbs, and Colorado’s early-December wind. Here’s what professional installation gives you that DIY doesn’t:
- Commercial-grade materials. We use professional C9 LED roofline lighting — brighter, more uniform, and far more durable than retail store strands.
- Custom-fit strands. Every run is cut to your roofline. No sagging cords, no coiled excess at the corners.
- Safe installation. Our crews are trained for roof work and winter conditions. No ladders for you, no icy shingles for us without the right equipment.
- In-season maintenance. If a bulb goes out or a section loosens in a windstorm, we come fix it — that’s part of the service.
What About Permanent Lighting?
In addition to temporary Christmas displays, we install Govee Pro permanent outdoor lighting — sleek, low-profile lights that stay up year-round and can display any color, any time. Want classic warm white for the holidays, your team’s colors on game day, and soft accent lighting the rest of the year? Govee Pro handles it all from a smartphone app. It’s an increasingly popular option for Arvada homeowners who love the holiday look but want lighting that works in July too.
Timing: When to Book in Arvada
Colorado weather is the wild card. We recommend booking early in the fall so your installation lands before the first real snow. Our installation season fills up fast — Arvada, Westminster, Broomfield, and the surrounding Jefferson County neighborhoods are some of our busiest service areas, and prime installation slots go first to early bookers.
Once your lights are up, you enjoy them all season. In January, we return for takedown and pack everything into storage for next year. When the next holiday season rolls around, we reinstall — you don’t lift a finger, year after year.

Here’s what “full-service” means when you work with Holiday Light Professionals:

- Professional installation — commercial-grade C9 LED lights, custom-fit to your roofline.
- In-season maintenance — bulb outages and weather issues handled promptly, at no extra hassle to you.
- January takedown — we remove everything after the season.

No ladders. No tangled strands in your garage. No dead bulbs on Christmas Eve.
