Christmas & Permanent Light Installation in Homewood, AL

Seasonal displays and year-round architectural lighting for Homewood homes and 18th Street businesses.

Lighting built for Homewood rooflines

Outdoor lighting in Homewood, AL: New Age Lights installs Christmas and seasonal displays, JellyFish permanent lighting and commercial lighting on Homewood homes and 18th Street businesses, starting with a free design consult. Installs run in booking order, the display is serviced through the season, and takedown and storage happen after the holidays. Call (205) 382-8991.

Homewood is close-in, older and tightly built, and that shapes the work. Edgewood and Hollywood are full of 1920s to 1940s brick and stone bungalows and Tudors on modest lots with big street trees, so runs are shorter than in the outer suburbs but rarely simpler: deep eaves, tile and slate, and porch detail that a standard clip cannot grip. Being at the foot of Red Mountain, the streets also climb, which affects how a display reads from below.

Most Homewood houses are within genuine reach, which makes a well-built seasonal display good value here in a way it is not on a three-story Hoover elevation. Permanent lighting still does well on the later infill and the renovated houses where the fascia has been squared up. The 18th Street district adds compact commercial frontage about ten minutes from our office.

What a Homewood install actually takes

Tight lots and street trees are the practical constraint. There is often nowhere obvious to put a lift, and the working room between houses is narrow, so access gets settled on the site visit. Clips are matched to the actual edge, and on the tile and slate roofs found in Hollywood the run stays off the roof itself entirely.

The 18th Street and Broadway frontages are real commercial work: restaurants and shops where the lighting has to read as architecture and where an evening cannot be lost to an install. Those runs are sectioned and scheduled around business hours.

What we install

Christmas & Seasonal

We take care of the whole holiday display: design, commercial-grade lights, installation, service in season, then takedown and storage.

JellyFish Permanent

A track under the roofline with permanent lights in millions of colors. An app runs it, on holidays and on everyday evenings.

Commercial & HOA

Storefronts, offices, entrances and common areas. We schedule each install around your business hours.

Christmas and seasonal light installation in Homewood

Your house gets a full service when you book seasonal lighting. It does not get a box of lights from a shelf. Its roofline is what the display is designed around. Its lights are commercial-grade and cut to fit, and we install them. If part of the display goes dark, we service it, and that holds for the whole season. Once the holidays are over we take the display down. We store it until next year, so nothing sits in your garage and nothing gets crushed between seasons.

How early you book decides how early we install. Installs follow booking order, and the first callers have the earliest dates. If you want lights on before the first weekend of December, be on the list well before the season starts.

Permanent outdoor lighting in Homewood

On your house, permanent lighting is a slim track fixed under the roofline. The track stays up all year and reads as trim from the street. With the app you set warm white on an ordinary evening and color in December. On a fall Saturday you can go crimson and white or orange and blue. You can also leave it off. 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 Homewood

Your business can be lit too. We do storefronts, offices, entrances and common areas as well as homes. The install is planned around your business hours, and so it never costs you a business day. If the property is larger, we can split the work into phases over several visits.

Your HOA, your landlord or a historic district may have a say. Their rules can cover fixture color, brightness or the place a track may sit. Bring those rules to the consult. The design is made to fit them from the start. We do not come back asking for an exception.

How it works

01

Free design consult

We walk your property and measure your roofline. Then we show you the finished run as it will look on your house. No charge, no obligation.

02

Custom install

Your approved plan is what the crew installs. They cut and fit commercial-grade product on site. You do not get a one-size kit.

03

Service & takedown

If something goes dark, we come back. With a seasonal display we handle the removal as well and keep your lights stored until next year.

Homewood questions we get asked

We're on Hollywood Boulevard, the roof is tile and there's no gutter on the front. Where does anything go?
Onto the rafter tails and the porch line, most likely. Hollywood went up from the mid-1920s, and the Spanish Mission houses along Hollywood Boulevard carry terra cotta tile, flat or low-pitched roofs and often a parapet where you'd expect a fascia board. There's often no continuous edge to clip to at all, so the run gets designed around what the house actually offers and some elevations stay dark by choice. It's the most house-by-house block in Homewood. Slate and tile roofs in Mountain Brook raise the same fastening problem on a steeper pitch.
Christmas lights start at $500 and permanent starts at $3,000. When does permanent pay for itself?
Six seasons, at those numbers. The part of that calculation worth questioning in Homewood is the roofline itself. This is a landlocked city where people renovate instead of moving, so six unchanged Decembers is an assumption rather than a given, and squaring up the trim or adding on means the run gets re-cut and the payback clock restarts. Ask for warranty terms in writing at the consult, because the math only holds if the system outlasts it. On a small one-story with a roof a ladder reaches, keep paying the $500. Christmas light installation covers what's in the seasonal price.
Our neighbor's house was rebuilt and ours wasn't. Why is their quote lower?
Because the rebuild squared up the trim line. Homewood is landlocked, hemmed in by Birmingham, Mountain Brook, Vestavia Hills and Hoover with almost nothing left to annex, so growth here happens by teardown and rebuild on existing lots. That leaves streets where a 1930s bungalow with interrupted fascia sits next to a 2019 house carrying sixty feet of continuous edge. The second one takes a track in a morning. Yours takes longer and costs more, and that's the honest version.
You're downtown and we're over the mountain. How far is that really?
Closer than most people over the mountain assume. The expressway drops us into Homewood in minutes, so the crossing costs time, not a scheduling problem.
We have a restaurant on 18th Street with the patio right on the sidewalk. Where does a lift go?
The lift position is the first thing we work out on a job like that. Usually it isn't the patio. The 18th Street frontages sit tight to the sidewalk with seating in front of them, so the lift needs a legal position that isn't your covers or the sidewalk on a Friday night. We section the run and work early mornings across a few short visits. The Birmingham FAQ covers in-season service.
