A two-story home has a tall front, and holiday lighting on a tall front needs planning that a single-story job does not. The eaves are high, the roofline is long, and the design has to read from the street, not just from the porch. For Brighton two-story homes, the height is the whole job.
Planning for height
On a two-story home, the roofline is the main line the lights follow, and it is the line that defines the shape of the house at night. Reaching the high eaves is planned with the right access, so the lights go up evenly and stay put through the season. The design is built around the tall front, not just the ground floor.
Designing the line
The roofline, the gables and the eaves each take a different length and a different count of lights. A two-story home usually needs more lights on the long roofline and a defined line on the gables, so the shape of the house reads clearly after dark. The design is fit to the home, not a single string run end to end.
Installation and removal
Installation is planned so the high lines go up safely and stay secure, and removal is planned so they come down without stressing the gutters or the shingles. The lights are installed for the season and taken down at the end, so the home is left as it was.
Planning the visit
When booking, share that the home is two-story and how much of the roofline you want lit, so the design and the reach are planned for it. For the full install, holiday lighting in Brighton covers two-story homes. Read about the Brighton service area. To book, call (734) 892-8348.
