Your Haltom City Season Includes
A complete service, so the only thing you do is enjoy the view from the driveway.
01
Design for a ranch home
Most Haltom City houses are single-story, and we plan the eave line, porch and front yard as one picture instead of cramming lights onto every edge.
04
Fixes when you need them
If part of the display goes dark, call the office on a weekday and we send a crew back to repair it.
02
Leased professional LED
Our commercial-grade LED is cut to your exact eave lengths and leased for the season, which keeps your closets free of storage bins.
05
Taken down for you
Once the holidays are over, generally in early January, we remove the lights and clips and leave your roof as we found it.
03
Front yard trees and beds
Wrapping an established front tree or lighting the shrubs along the foundation adds height and depth to a low, wide house.
06
Stored until next season
Each display is labeled for its address and kept in our storage, so reinstalling next fall is quick.
Postwar Ranch Homes Built for a Clean Outline
Haltom City was founded in 1932 and incorporated in 1949, and its biggest growth came right after: the population jumped from about 5,800 in 1950 to more than 23,000 by 1960. That boom left long blocks of modest single-story houses, the low, wide homes typical of the era, often with a small front porch and a carport or garage. Later additions such as High Pointe, Fossil Village and Diamond Oaks North brought newer homes to the city's north side, and today Haltom City has about 17,500 housing units for its roughly 46,000 residents.
Single-story roofs are easy to light well. Because the eave sits close to eye level, a continuous line along the front reads clearly from the street and from passing cars on roads like Denton Highway and Haltom Road. We add depth at ground level, with lit shrubs, a wrapped front tree or pathway lights to the door. Low-pitched hip roofs have short gable ends, so we often outline the hip edges to give the roof shape at night.

How It Works in Haltom City
01
Call or request a quote
Share your address and the parts of the house you would like lit. Late summer and early fall requests get the most date options.
02
Design walk-through
We measure the eaves and trees, find the outlets and suggest a layout for your house.
03
Install
A single-story home is usually finished in a few hours, with you at home or away.
04
Through December
Lights turn on each evening by timer. A call to our office sets up a repair if anything fails.
05
Removal and storage
After the holidays we take it all down and store it, labeled for your home.
Haltom City Neighborhoods We Light
Haltom City sits between Fort Worth and North Richland Hills, and its neighborhoods span seven decades. Homes just across those lines are covered on our pages for Christmas lights on NRH houses and Fort Worth residential lighting.
Haltom Acres and Meadow Oaks
Established streets such as Meadow Oaks Drive, lined with single-story homes on traditional lots. A front eave line, lit beds and one wrapped tree give these houses a finished look without crowding them.
Fossil Village and Fossil Beach
Two additions whose names point to the Fossil Creek area, with streets such as Kimberly Court and Echo Bluff Drive. Where front yards hold established trees, trunk wraps paired with a clean roofline make the house stand out.
Eastcliff and the east side
Blocks around streets like Cheryl Street on the city's east side. On smaller lots, a simple warm line, a wreath on the door and pathway lights keep the look neat. For lighting that stays on the paths and trees year-round, see our Haltom City landscape lighting.
High Pointe
A north-side addition with streets like Highview Court. Where several houses share a court or cul-de-sac, neighbors can easily coordinate warm white or a shared color.
Diamond Oaks North
A residential pocket with streets such as Starlight Drive. Single-story fronts with attached garages light well with a line that runs from the garage across the main eave.
Birdville Roots, Big Displays and Practical Power
Haltom City grew up around the old town of Birdville, whose name still lives on in the Birdville school district, and the city keeps a neighborly, close-to-Fort Worth feel about five miles northeast of downtown. It also has a reputation for holiday lights: the choreographed Wisdom Way Lights show has drawn carloads of visitors tuning in on FM radio. Most homeowners want something calmer than that, but the same attention to clean runs and dependable timers applies.
Older houses here often have only one or two outdoor outlets, sometimes without GFCI protection, so we map power during the design visit and plan runs to avoid overloading a single circuit. Many Haltom City streets are not part of an HOA, but newer subdivisions on the north side may have guidelines; if yours does, send it to us, and associations can review our HOA Christmas lighting services for entrances.

What Changes a Haltom City Quote
Every home is measured, so your quote reflects your house, not a package.
Eave footage
The feet of roofline you want lit is the biggest factor. Front-only plans on a single-story home are the most common.
Color and bulb type
Warm white, multicolor and bulb size each change the strands we prepare for your house.
Roof shape
Hip roofs, extra gables or a second story add rigging and time compared with a simple ranch eave.
Extras at the door
Wreaths, garland around the entry and lit walkway markers are itemized, so you choose what to include.
Trees and shrubs
Mature trees take more strands than young ones, and netted shrubs are quoted by the bed.

Haltom City Christmas Light FAQs
Have a question we didn’t cover? Call 972-620-9560 or request a free quote online.
Do you install Christmas lights on homes in Haltom City?
–
Yes. We light houses across Haltom City, centered on 76117 and including northern streets in 76137 and 76148. Our Haltom City Christmas lighting page covers the businesses along Loop 820, Denton Highway and NE 28th Street that we also serve.
Is buying lights required, or is permanent lighting an option?
–
Our seasonal lights are leased, so there is nothing to purchase, store or replace. If you would rather have a permanent track system that stays on the eaves all year, read about our permanent lighting near Haltom City. Either way, our crews handle the ladder work.
When should I book my Haltom City install?
–
Plan to call between late summer and mid-fall. Installs typically start in early November, and the schedule fills from the first calls forward, so earlier requests have more dates to choose from.
When will you come take the lights down?
–
Takedown happens after the holidays, in most cases during early January. We pack the display under your address and store it until next season.
Do I need HOA approval in Haltom City?
–
Plenty of Haltom City homes sit outside any HOA. If your newer subdivision has an association with display rules, share them and we will design around them. Our home Christmas light installation guide explains the full service.
Will the lights damage my roof or gutters?
–
No. We use clips that fit gutters, shingle edges and ridges, and we never nail or staple into the roof, fascia or siding. If an older gutter is loose, we point it out and work around it.
My older home has only one outdoor outlet. Can you still light it?
–
Usually, yes. We plan the runs around the outlets you have, split the load where possible and add timers so the lights run on their own. If an outlet is dead or keeps tripping, we flag it so an electrician can fix it before install day.
Can you light a carport or garage so the driveway looks finished?
–
Yes. Many Haltom City homes have a carport or front-facing garage, and outlining its fascia frames the driveway and ties it to the main eave line.
