How it works
Step one is yours. The rest are ours.
From your first quote to storage in the new year — here’s the whole season, and the one thing you actually do. We call it 360° Holiday Care.

Get your quote & see the design
Tell us your address, your colours, and what you’d like lit — roofline, trees, wreaths, the works. We build a realistic mockup of your own home so you can see the look before you decide, and you get a firm, all-in price — usually two or three of them, at different levels of coverage. No obligation, nothing to buy.

We install your lights
Commercial-grade LEDs, custom-cut to your exact rooflines and features. We own them, we bring them, and we handle every ladder — fully insured. They stay dark until you’re ready to flip the switch — and then the house comes alive.
And you don’t flip it every night either. Every install includes a digital timer with battery backup — we set it to your hours once, and it holds that schedule through a power outage instead of resetting itself in January.
Nothing to buy or store - 3
We keep them perfect all season
Bulb out? Strand down in a storm? We’re back to fix it free, within 48 hours — every time, all season. You never touch a ladder.
No-Lights-Out Guarantee - 4
We take it all down
When the season’s over, we come back and remove everything — as soon as the snow and ice make it safe to work. We watch the weather so you never have to, and there’s no frozen weekend on your calendar.
We handle the timing - 5
We store it — and next year is easier
Your lights live at our shop, already cut to fit your home. Next season is a single text — keep the look or change the colours, free — and returning clients get 20% off for letting us install in October. The nicest tradition you’ll never have to work for.
Easier every year
Why Nord
More than a string of lights
Equipment built for our winters
Extra-insulated wiring and shatterproof, warm-filament LEDs — the classic incandescent glow with none of the blue-ish LED look, rated for Simcoe County ice and wind.
A design cut to your home
Measured and custom-cut to your exact rooflines and trees, never off a generic spool. Want a different look next year? Change colours and patterns at no extra cost.
The No-Lights-Out Guarantee
If anything goes dark or comes loose, we’re back within 48 hours to fix it free, all season. Not fine print — it’s the reason people stop doing this themselves.
Local and family-run
Blair, Liz & team — $2 million in liability insurance, WSIB covered. Not a franchise dispatching strangers to your door, and everyone who works on your roof is covered.
Rooftop safety
The part nobody puts on a flyer
A steep roof, an aluminum ladder, and an icy morning is the worst combination in home maintenance. Handing that over is most of what you’re actually buying.
We carry $2 million in liability insurance and are WSIB covered, and working at height is a normal working day for us rather than a once-a-year favour to ourselves.
Worth knowing: our roof anchors clamp over the ridge rather than screwing into your shingles. Nothing we use to keep ourselves safe puts a hole in your roof.
“…I was particularly impressed by all of the safety gear they have to install the lights properly (and the fact that they’re fully insured really put my mind at ease)…”
Premium equipment
Classic styling, modern tech
Blue-ish white is a thing of the past. Our bulbs look like the incandescents you grew up with, and last like an LED.
- 1
Energy-sipping LED
LED throughout, so a full roofline can stay lit all evening.
- 2
Warm filament design
The visible filament gives the traditional glow, not the blue-ish LED look.
- 3
Clear bulb
Clear housing rather than a frosted or painted shell, so the light stays crisp.
- 4
Shatterproof case
Shatterproof rather than glass — built for Simcoe County ice and wind.

Real homes, real towns, real lights
Every one is our own work — neighbours’ homes and local storefronts across Simcoe County, lit for the season.
The whole way around
Every elevation, not just the photogenic one
Anyone can shoot the front of a house. This is a full walkaround of a finished Springwater install — the sides, the back, the awkward peak over the garage. The lines stay straight the whole way round, because the strands are measured and cut to that specific roof.

Straight answer
What does it cost?
$8 per linear foot. Most homes run $800–$3,500 all-in, with the average around $1,500. Design (with a realistic mockup of your home), lights, install, the timer, maintenance, takedown, and storage — one price, no surprises. And 5% of it goes to The Lighthouse in Orillia.
And it’s rarely one number: most designs come back with two or three options at different levels of coverage, so you’re choosing what fits rather than taking or leaving a single price.

Simcoe County’s neighbourhood elves
Light up your home. Help light the way for a neighbour.
Simplify your Christmas. Brighten your community. 5% of every Christmas lighting sale goes to The Lighthouse in Orillia, which provides meals, housing, and mental-health support to people experiencing homelessness.
Together, that has added up to $3,800 sent to The Lighthouse so far — the result of incredible clients and a generous Simcoe County community.
“Life can be hard — for some of our neighbours, especially this time of year. But this season is a gift: a time to lean into hope, and back into the people who make life meaningful. Every display we hang is a small reminder of the light that shines in the darkness — and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.”
Every display we put up sends a little of its light down the road — that’s the “be the kind of neighbour you’d want” part of our Nord Star.
FAQ
Frequently asked lighting questions
How much does Christmas lighting cost?
Most homes land between $800 and $3,500 depending on the size of the display, with the average around $1,500. We price at $8 per linear foot. It’s all-inclusive: design, commercial-grade lights, install, the timer, in-season maintenance, takedown, and storage.
Do I have to turn them on and off every night?
No — every install includes a digital timer with battery backup. We set it to the hours you want once, and it runs the display itself all season; the battery backup means a power outage doesn’t wipe the schedule and leave your lights on at 4am in January. We also test the GFCI outlet your display plugs into before we energize anything, so you know the safety cut-out actually works. Both are part of the price, not add-ons.
Can I see what it’ll look like before I commit?
Yes. As part of your free design, we build a realistic mockup of your own home with the lights on, so you can see the exact look — colours, coverage, where each run goes — and adjust it until it’s what you want. Most designs come back as two or three options at different levels of coverage, so you can weigh what you want lit against what you want to spend. You approve the design and the price before anything is installed.
What colours and patterns can I choose?
Warm white, cool white, blue, red, green, and yellow — in single-colour, candy-cane, or multi-colour patterns. And you can change colours and patterns next year at no extra cost.
What happens when I renew next year?
Returning clients get 20% off — our “Early Elf” rate — for letting us install in October; the lights can go up early and stay dark until you’re ready. (First-year clients don’t get the Early Elf rate, but booking in October still matters: it’s how you secure a November install date.) As long as your layout stays the same, your price stays the same for three years from your first install. Changing your colours or your pattern is always free — just let us know a week before install day. Adding to the layout is only repriced if it means more work, product, or equipment, and we’d tell you before install day.
What happens if a bulb goes out or a strand comes down?
We fix it, free, within 48 hours. Free maintenance calls are part of every install — that’s our worry-free warranty.
Do I have to buy the lights?
No — and that’s the point. Your quote includes commercial-grade LED lights custom-cut to your home, plus storage in the off-season. No tangled bins in your garage, and no ladder for you, ever.
Can you install my own lights?
We install only our commercial-grade, custom-cut lights. Store-bought strands aren’t built for wind and ice, and we can’t guarantee (or efficiently repair) product we didn’t supply — and the No-Lights-Out Guarantee is most of what you’re paying for.
Do you install permanent lights, or app-controlled kits like Govee?
No — we only do seasonal Christmas lighting. No permanent track systems, and no app-controlled kits like Govee. That’s deliberate: we’re here for the traditional holiday look, put up for the season and taken down after it. Because everything comes down each year, you can change your colours or pattern next season at no extra cost, and there’s nothing on your house the rest of the year for you to own or maintain.
When do the lights go up?
Installs run October through early December, and going up early doesn’t mean lit early — your display stays dark until you’re ready to flip the switch. Prime dates fill by early November, so booking in fall gets you the date you want.
