Why Professional Christmas Lighting Makes a Big Difference?
Professional holiday light installation saves time, reduces risk, and gives you a polished look that’s hard to match on your own. We use commercial-grade LED bulbs, weatherproof connectors, and secure mounting methods that protect your roofline and gutter system.
You could hang lights yourself. Plenty of people try.
Here’s what usually happens:
-
You spend hours untangling old lights.
-
Half the strands don’t work.
-
You climb up and down an extension ladder over and over.
-
The lines aren’t straight.
-
Clips damage shingles or gutters.
-
You worry every time it storms.
This part’s tricky for most homeowners. Getting clean, even spacing along rooflines takes experience. We measure carefully and use UV-resistant clips and proper gutter clips or shingle tabs depending on your home’s structure.

Our Christmas Lighting Services in Columbia, SC
We offer full-service residential Christmas light hanging so you don’t have to lift a finger.
1. Custom Holiday Lighting Design
Every home is different. A brick home near the South Carolina State House looks different than a lakefront property near Lake Murray.
We start with a custom lighting design consultation. We’ll talk about:
-
Warm white LED lights or multicolor Christmas lights
-
C9 LED bulbs for bold rooflines
-
C7 LED bulbs for a softer glow
-
Icicle lights for eaves
-
Net lights for shrubs
-
Tree wrapping services
-
Wreath and garland installation
Want something classic and elegant? Or bright and festive? We help you choose what fits your home and your style.
We also consider HOA rules if you live in a neighborhood with design guidelines. We’ll keep it beautiful and compliant.
2. Roofline Christmas Lights
Roofline Christmas lights are the most popular choice in Columbia.
We measure the entire roofline for precise spacing. Then we install using secure clip installation methods that won’t damage shingles or gutters.
Because we specialize in gutters, we understand how to mount lights without harming your drainage system. That matters more than most people realize. Improper mounting can loosen gutters or create small problems that turn into expensive repairs later.
We also calculate electrical load to protect your home’s circuits. This helps prevent blown breakers and overheating.
3. LED Christmas Light Installation
We use energy-efficient LED lighting for most installations.
Why LEDs?
-
Lower power usage
-
Brighter output
-
Longer lifespan
-
Less heat
Columbia weather can swing from cold snaps to mild rainy weeks during the holiday season. LED lights handle those conditions better than older incandescent strands.
We use outdoor-rated wiring, weatherproof connectors, and commercial-grade LED bulbs designed for exterior use.
4. Tree Wrapping and Landscape Lighting
Want your property to glow from the street?
We provide tree wrapping services for front yard trees, especially popular in neighborhoods near Forest Acres and Lexington.
We also install net lights on shrubs and add accent lighting to highlight architectural features. Many homeowners near Five Points District enjoy adding subtle landscape lighting to stand out without going overboard.
Even spacing and symmetry are key. That’s what makes a display look professional.
5. Timed Lighting Systems and Smart Controls
Nobody wants to run outside every night to plug lights in.
We install timer controls and smart plugs so your display turns on and off automatically. We program everything for you before we leave.
Want your lights on at dusk and off at midnight? Done.
It’s simple. It works. And you don’t have to think about it again.
6. Christmas Light Removal and Storage
After the holidays, you’re probably ready to move on.
We offer:
-
Post-season takedown
-
Careful removal
-
Organized labeling
-
Off-season storage
No more stuffing tangled lights into a garage bin. We keep everything organized so next year’s installation is smooth and fast.
Safety Comes First
Climbing onto a roof in December is risky.
Cold mornings. Damp shingles. Steep pitches.
We follow OSHA ladder safety practices and use roof safety harness systems when needed. Our team is trained in safe roof and gutter mounting techniques.
We’re also a licensed contractor in South Carolina and a fully insured business with general liability coverage.
If something unexpected happens, you’re protected. That’s peace of mind you won’t get from hiring a random handyman.
Why Columbia Homeowners Trust Mr. Gutter SC?

We’re here year-round.

-
We respond quickly
A lot of Christmas lighting companies focus only on looks. We focus on structure and safety too.
Because we understand gutters, rooflines, and drainage systems, we install lights in a way that protects your home long after the holidays end.
What Makes Us Different From Other Christmas Light Installers?
Many competitors offer basic light hanging. That’s it.
Here’s what most people miss.
Proper electrical load calculation matters. If too many strands connect to one circuit, you risk breaker trips or worse.
Secure clip installation matters. Loose mounting can damage shingles or pull away during wind.
Damage-free mounting matters. We don’t use nails or methods that harm your roof or gutters.
Because of our gutter installation background, we understand how water flows off your roof. We install lights in a way that won’t interfere with drainage.
That experience sets us apart in Columbia.
