Roofline & Gutter Lighting
Clean, straight runs along rooflines, gutters, peaks, and dormers. Every strand cut to your measurements and clipped, never nailed or stapled.
From Ashland to Mechanicsville, we design it, install it, fix it if it quits, and take it down in January — so you can actually enjoy the season.
Local crew
Monty's Lighting Co. is based in Hanover County, so holiday lighting installation here is a home game for us. We're up and down Route 1 and Route 301 all season, in and out of the neighborhoods off Bell Creek Road, up the long drives out toward Old Church and Cold Harbor. When you call, you get the crew that lives here — not a national dispatch line handing your address to whoever happens to be free that week.
Most people around here call it Christmas light installation. We say holiday lighting because the same crew hangs garland and wreaths before Thanksgiving and comes back in January to take it all down — but it's the same job, the same commercial-grade bulbs, and the same two trucks whether you're in Mechanicsville, Ashland, or out past Old Church.
That matters more than it should have to. A house in Kings Charter with a tight cul-de-sac and an HOA that pays attention to curb appeal is a different install than a farmhouse on five acres off Route 54, and both are different again from a storefront in downtown Ashland. We measure every property before we quote it and cut every strand to the runs on your roof, which is why the finished job reads straight and clean from the road instead of draped.
We start booking Hanover County properties in August, and the calendar is usually full by the middle of October. Once it's full, it's full — we'd rather turn work away than rush a crew onto a roof. Everything we hang is commercial-grade LED, color-matched across the whole property, not a big-box string that burns three different shades of white by its second season.
And we don't disappear on December 26th. If a section goes dark mid-season, you call or text and we come out — no trip charge, it's already in the price. In January we take everything down on a scheduled window, inspect and repair it, label it with your address, and store it in our warehouse. Next year, one phone call puts it back exactly the way you liked it. Your garage stays empty and your weekend stays yours.

Coverage
We cover the whole county, and there's no travel surcharge on a Hanover County address — we're already out here.
What's included
Clean, straight runs along rooflines, gutters, peaks, and dormers. Every strand cut to your measurements and clipped, never nailed or stapled.
Ornamental trees, landscape beds, and entry plantings wrapped in warm white or multicolor LED. Trunk-and-branch wraps, not a net thrown over the top.
Porch railings, columns, and front doors. The finishing details that turn a lit roofline into a house that looks finished.
Entrance monuments, common areas, and retail fronts across the county — larger scale, scheduled and managed as a project.
We come back in January, pack everything properly, label it by property, and store it in our warehouse until next season.
If something goes out in December, we fix it. No trip charge, and you're not on a ladder in the cold sorting it out yourself.
Why Monty's Lighting Co.
How it works
We come out, measure the property, and put together a custom design and a firm price. Not a range — the number in the proposal is the number on the invoice. Most go out within 24 hours.
Uniformed crew, marked vehicles, a scheduled window. Wiring hidden, timers set, site cleaned, and every strand tested before we pull out of the driveway.
Anything quits, you call and we come out. In January we take it all down, repair what needs it, and store it labeled with your address until next year.
Questions
Yes — the entire county, including Mechanicsville, Ashland, the town of Hanover, Atlee, Rutland, Doswell, and the rural stretches out past Old Church. We're based here, so there's no travel surcharge on a Hanover County address and no minimum job size to get us out for a look.
August or September. Our Hanover County calendar — larger homes and commercial properties especially — fills well before October, and once the install schedule is full we can't add to it that season. If it's already October, call anyway; we'll tell you straight away whether there's room.
Yes. We install in Kings Charter, Rutland, Brookwood, and most of the established neighborhoods around Mechanicsville and Atlee, so we know the standards that come up — color limits, when displays can go up, how far off the property line. Tell us the rules and we design inside them.
Call or text us and we come out. Mid-season service is included for every client — no trip charge, no argument about whose fault it was. You should not be troubleshooting a dark roofline on Christmas Eve.
Absolutely. HOA common areas and entrance monuments, retail storefronts, office buildings, and multi-family properties throughout the county. Commercial jobs get a dedicated walkthrough and a written scope before anything is scheduled.
It depends on the property — linear feet of roofline, how many peaks and dormers the runs have to follow, how many trees you want wrapped, and whether garland and wreaths are part of it. We price every job after we've walked it, and the number on the proposal is the number on the invoice. There's no fixed package, because a townhouse in Mechanicsville and a farmhouse off Route 54 aren't the same job and shouldn't cost the same.
No. Takedown is part of the price, and what comes off your house comes back to our warehouse. We inspect it, repair what needs repairing, and label it with your address so next season is one phone call instead of a shopping trip.
Spots fill fast, especially for larger properties and commercial installs. Get your free quote and lock in your date before the season starts.
