Christmas & Permanent Light Installation in Chelsea, AL

Seasonal displays and year-round architectural lighting for Chelsea homes along the 280 corridor.

Lighting built for Chelsea rooflines

Chelsea is the newest housing we work on in the metro, and that makes it the most predictable in a good way. Most of what is here has gone up since 2000 as the 280 corridor filled in through Shelby County: straight continuous fascia, sound seamless gutter, wide frontages, and lots that sit on rolling ground with woodland behind. The houses are big, the rooflines are simple, and the peaks are high.

That combination is exactly what permanent lighting was designed for. A track under the roofline reads as trim in daylight and one install covers December, a Fourth of July weekend and everyday warm white. Seasonal displays are busy here too, mostly bought by people who have already discovered how far off the ground the front gable is.

What a Chelsea install actually takes

Height on sloping ground. The frontage is usually reachable; the back of the house, where the lot falls away toward the trees, frequently is not. That is lift work and it needs a plan, not optimism, so we walk the property first and price the run we can reach properly. Clips are straightforward on houses this new, which means the time goes into access rather than hardware.

Chelsea is also spread out, so scheduling matters. Being downtown puts us up the 280 corridor rather than across it, and in-season service calls get grouped so a dark section does not wait on a half-day drive.

What we install

Christmas & Seasonal

Holiday lighting done as one job for you: design, commercial-grade lights, installation, service in season, takedown, storage.

JellyFish Permanent

Permanent lights mounted on a track under the roofline. Pick from millions of colors in the app, for a holiday or an everyday night.

Commercial & HOA

Common areas, entrances, storefronts and offices. Installs are scheduled so they fit around your business hours.

Christmas and seasonal light installation in Chelsea

Think of seasonal lighting as a full service. It is not a box of lights from a shelf. Your roofline is the starting point for the design. The lights are commercial-grade, they are cut to fit your house, and we install them. During the season we service the display if any part goes dark. After the holidays we take everything down and it goes into storage until next year. Your garage holds none of it, and none of it gets crushed between seasons.

Booking order decides the calendar: the order of booking is the order of installing. Whoever called first has the earliest dates. If your goal is lights on before the first weekend of December, put your name on the list well ahead of the season.

Permanent outdoor lighting in Chelsea

Permanent lighting is a slim track, and it goes under the roofline. It is up all year. Looked at from the street, it reads as trim. In the app you can pick warm white for an ordinary evening, color for December, and crimson and white or orange and blue for a fall Saturday. You can turn it off as well. Nobody climbs anything.

We install JellyFish permanent lighting and are an authorized JellyFish dealer. At your free design consult, we inspect the roofline, fascia and gutters, explain the installation plan, and provide a quote for your property.

Commercial and HOA lighting in Chelsea

Beyond homes, we light common areas, entrances, storefronts and offices. A commercial job is scheduled around your business hours. That way you do not lose a business day to the install. On a larger property the work can be phased and spread over several visits.

Sometimes there are rules. An HOA, a landlord or a historic district may say what fixture color or brightness is allowed, or where a track may sit. Bring the rules with you to the consult. We design to them from the start, and that way nobody asks for an exception later.

How it works

01

Free design consult

A walk around the property comes first. We measure the roofline and show you how the lights will look when the run is finished. No charge, and no obligation.

02

Custom install

Our crew installs the plan you approved. The commercial-grade product is cut and fitted on site for your house. It is not a one-size kit.

03

Service & takedown

If something goes dark, we come back. For seasonal displays we also do the takedown, and your lights are stored until next year.

Chelsea questions we get asked

How far out do you actually come? Chelsea's big.
All of it. Chelsea is genuinely big, though. The city covers about 33 square miles, so two Chelsea addresses can be twenty minutes apart. US-280 only runs through the northern end, which surprises people, because a lot of Chelsea sits down county roads well south of the highway. We group installs and service calls by area so a dark section doesn't wait on a separate trip out.
We're building. Should we do this during construction?
Yes. Chelsea is where that question comes up most. The city had about 900 residents when it incorporated in 1996 and it's many times that now, so most of what's here is recent and a fair amount is still going up. Fitting a run during the build means the trim is accessible, power gets planned in, and nobody works around finished landscaping. See for home builders.
Chelsea doesn't have a historic district. Are there rules here at all?
City rules first, then your subdivision's covenants. There's no historic review to clear, but most Chelsea subdivisions were platted in the last twenty-five years and many came with an association attached, so covenants are the thing most likely to have a say on fixture color or placement. Read yours before the consult. The Birmingham FAQ covers what an association usually wants to see.
Everyone on our street already has this. Does ours become pointless?
No, but it changes what a good design looks like. Many Chelsea streets are one builder's elevations repeated, so the outlines really are near identical and a display trying to be louder than the neighbors just reads as noise. What separates them is the color program and the schedule, and that's a settings conversation on install day, not a hardware one.
Is a Chelsea install cheaper than an over-the-mountain one for the same size house?
Often. It's the one fair generalization in this market. A Chelsea roof is new, continuous and predictable, so linear footage is most of the number. Over the mountain in Homewood the same footage can carry tile, interrupted edges and a lift position nobody can find, and that time is real. Height is the one thing that pushes a Chelsea quote back up.
