Lighting a Home That Sits Up High
In Lakeview, the size of a house does not tell you how high its roofline sits. Raised homes and homes on slabs can stand side by side, with very different access needs even when the floor plans are similar.
Elevation changes the installation. A higher roofline can require longer ladders and more setup time between sections. Steps, porches and the space around the base affect where equipment can be positioned. Those details belong in the quote from the beginning.
Height also gives the display more room to work. A raised front elevation presents several levels to the street: planting at the ground, steps and gallery, then the roofline above. Lighting those levels together creates a complete composition.
Our Christmas light installation process starts with your address and photos, ideally taken from the sidewalk. Sean visits to measure the roofline and review elevation and access before recommending the design.
What Happens Below the Roofline
A roofline outline can do most of the work on a low house. On a raised Lakeview home, it may leave a large dark area underneath. The design needs to account for the whole front elevation, including the space between the living level and the ground.
Front steps provide a natural line from the walk to the door. A lit gallery or porch rail connects that entrance to the house, while greenery and planting lights fill the lower part of the view. Each element has a job beyond adding more bulbs.
We look for balance between ground level, gallery and roofline. A few well chosen details can connect those levels without covering every surface. The right approach depends on how high the house sits and what is visible from the sidewalk.
Traditional New Orleans homes, elevated construction and contemporary designs all belong to this neighborhood. Send a street view of your house so we can discuss which features deserve the light.
Christmas Lighting for the Season or All Year
Compare a familiar seasonal display with a system that stays installed. On a raised house, access is an important part of both the initial cost and future maintenance. Sean will explain the options around your property.
Traditional Christmas Lighting
Classic C9 bulbs give Lakeview roof peaks and eaves a defined Christmas outline. Warm white is our signature look, with multicolor available by request. Steps, galleries, greenery and planting lights can complete the elevation below.
Heritage owns the seasonal lights and handles design, installation, maintenance, removal and storage. When a strand fails, we handle the replacement and the access needed to reach it.
Permanent Outdoor Lighting
An app controlled system stays installed between holidays, offering colors for Christmas, game days and everyday accents. It avoids the annual installation and removal of seasonal roofline lights.
It can still need maintenance, including work at height. Sean will explain the equipment, access requirements and manufacturer coverage so you can judge whether it suits your raised home.
Choose the Details That Complete Your Seasonal Display
Start at the roofline, then choose what connects it to the ground. Each addition is priced separately, so you can focus the budget on the details that show best across your Lakeview home's elevation.
Roofline Lights
Warm white C9 bulbs trace peaks, eaves and architectural lines. On a raised home, that outline sits high in the street view and gives the rest of the display a clear starting point.
Wreaths and Garland
Pre lit greenery brings warmth to doors, galleries and stair rails. We size each piece for the opening and finish it with outdoor nylon bows.
Sidewalk Borders
A lit walk and front steps draw the eye from the street up to the door. On a raised home, that connection helps balance the bright roofline with the lower elevation.
Icicle Curtains
A flowing curtain of light can soften a gallery line, porch overhang or covered entry. We choose the placement to complement the levels of your house.
Plan Your Display With Clear Pricing

The work starts with the property: steps, porch, planting and roof access. Choose warm white or request multicolor, then add the details you want to enjoy from the sidewalk and the gallery.

Christmas Lighting Across Lakeview
Lakeview is a neighborhood of the City of New Orleans, between Lake Pontchartrain and City Park. The park's Celebration in the Oaks is part of the area's holiday setting, while neighborhood displays bring the seasonal welcome closer to home.
Traditional architecture, raised houses and contemporary designs sit alongside the businesses on Harrison Avenue. We consider elevation, setbacks and the view from the sidewalk so the lights suit your particular property.
We also serve nearby Metairie, Kenner and River Ridge. Send your address, a note on how the house sits and your preferred timing so Sean can confirm availability.
What to Know Before Planning Your Lakeview Display
-
Contact us in September or October for the best choice of dates. Tell us when you want the display ready, whether for Thanksgiving guests or a gathering, and Sean will confirm availability before scheduling.
-
It can. Elevation affects reach, equipment and setup time, while steps, porches and planting affect access. Houses on the same block can need different approaches. Sean reviews your property before quoting rather than using a neighborhood average.
-
It depends on the elevation and the view from the street. Steps, gallery rails and planting lights can connect a high roofline to the ground. We will show you which lower features would help the display feel complete.
-
Call us and leave the affected section alone. Seasonal maintenance is included, so we handle lights or decorations that need attention after weather. Avoid wet connections and climbing up to fix the display yourself. The Electrical Safety Foundation International recommends GFCI protected circuits and keeping cords clear of standing water.
-
Yes. Lighting along the steps, a porch or gallery can connect the entrance to the roofline. These details are separate options on your proposal, so you can compare what each adds to the design and the price.
-
We arrange removal in January, weather permitting. The lights return to our shop to be sorted, labeled and stored until next season. Heritage owns the material and handles replacements, so you do not have to reach the roof or store the lights.
-
Heritage Lighting Co. owns the lights. Your seasonal service includes design, installation, maintenance, removal and storage. Failed bulbs and strands are ours to replace during the season.
