Christmas Light Installation in Metairie, LA
Heritage Lighting Co. installs custom Christmas lighting across Metairie, from the low wide rooflines off Metairie Road to the lakefront streets of Pontchartrain Shores.

A Display Designed for the Way Metairie Homes Sit
Much of Metairie went up in the 1950s, and it still shows in the shape of the houses. A lot of this market is single story and wide, sitting long across the lot rather than tall on it. That geometry changes what a good display looks like here. The roofline is the whole front of the house, running in one continuous line from one end to the other, and from the street a Metairie home reads as a horizontal band of light rather than a tall silhouette.
That has two practical consequences. The first is that spacing consistency matters more here than almost anywhere else we work. On a tall narrow house the eye takes in the roofline in pieces, so a slight gap disappears. On a fifty or sixty foot unbroken run it does not. Bulbs that drift out of rhythm halfway along are visible from across the street, which is why we run the line properly the first time rather than stretching material to make it reach.
The second is that Metairie’s housing stock is generally friendly to work on. Single story means shorter ladder setups, safer footing and less time on the roof than a two story house of the same square footage, and that shows up in what the job costs. If you have been quoted as though your house were tall, it is worth a second look.
Our Christmas light installation work starts with a visit. Call or text the address and Sean gets out to the property, usually the same evening during the season, to measure the run, look at roof access and talk through what the house is actually asking for. Older pockets of Metairie have pre war cottages on narrow grid streets with sidewalks, and newer sections are wider and more open. The design follows the house, not a template.
Wreaths, Garland and the Front Entry
A roofline is what the street sees. Greenery is what your guests stand three feet from while they wait for you to open the door, and it is the part of a display that gets looked at closely rather than glanced at. That is why we treat it as its own piece of the design rather than an add on.
We run wreaths from 24 inch up to 96 inch, and the right size is the one that suits the entry rather than the one in the catalog. A 24 inch wreath that looks generous on a cottage door disappears on a wide mid century facade with a deep overhang. Metairie has a lot of both, sometimes on the same street, so we size to the opening in front of us. Garland follows the same logic, tracing columns, porch rails and door surrounds where there is a line worth drawing.
Ninety percent of the greenery we hang is pre lit, so the light is built into the piece rather than wrapped around it afterward. It looks cleaner up close and there is no cord to hide. Bows are included, usually two to a piece, and we use nylon outdoors rather than the cheaper alternatives for a specific local reason: the Gulf sun here is relentless and it does not stop in winter. There is no shade and no break from it. Velvet and canvas are interior materials in this climate, and anything else fades before the season is over.
If your entry has a feature worth lighting, a columned porch, a pair of planters, a covered walk to the door, tell us when you call. Those are the details that make a display feel designed rather than applied.
Christmas Lighting for the Season or All Year
Metairie homeowners often ask whether a system that stays up would suit their house. Seasonal and permanent lighting have different looks, costs and upkeep. Sean will help you compare both around your roofline and budget.
Traditional Christmas Lighting
Classic C9 bulbs give Metairie's wide rooflines a clean, continuous Christmas outline. Warm white is our signature look, with multicolor available by request. Add pre lit greenery, pathway accents or tree lighting around the features you love.
Heritage owns the seasonal lights and handles design, installation, maintenance, removal and storage. If a strand fails in December, we replace it. After the holidays, the lights return to our shop.
Permanent Outdoor Lighting
A year round system stays installed between holidays. App controlled colors can cover Christmas, game days and everyday accent lighting, with a track mounted beneath the eave.
Permanent does not mean maintenance free. Components can fail and manufacturer coverage varies. Sean will explain the equipment, service expectations and cost before you decide whether it suits your roofline.
Choose the Details That Complete Your Seasonal Display
Start with the roofline, then choose what goes around it. Each addition has its own price in your proposal, so you can compare options and keep the details that earn their place on your Metairie home.
Roofline Lights
Warm white C9 bulbs trace peaks, eaves and architectural lines. On a wide single story home, consistent spacing helps the whole front read as one clean line from the street.
Wreaths and Garland
Pre lit wreaths, garland and teardrops bring the warmth to the entry. We size greenery to the door, columns or porch and finish it with outdoor nylon bows.
Sidewalk Borders
A lit walk or driveway connects the front door to the street. On Metairie's sidewalk lined blocks, that border gives the property a defined edge for passing drivers and pedestrians.
Icicle Curtains
A flowing curtain of light softens a porch, balcony or covered entry. We choose its scale and placement to complement the clean line of the roof and the greenery below.
Plan Your Display With Clear Pricing
These ranges are a starting point for Christmas light installation in Metairie. Your proposal covers commercial grade materials, a design for your property and seasonal service when a light needs attention.

Make the Season Feel Special
Residential Lighting
A welcoming entry, a softly outlined roof and a favorite tree can bring the whole front of a Metairie home together. We help you choose the features worth highlighting, with warm white as our signature look and multicolor available by request.
We plan access around your porch, paintwork and landscaping, then install a display you can enjoy from the street and the front door. The roofline and the close up details receive the same attention.
Commercial Lighting
Heritage Lighting Co. creates seasonal displays for Metairie shops, restaurants, offices, apartment communities and event spaces. From a Metairie Road storefront to a larger property, the design follows the entrance and the way guests approach it.

Discuss Your Property. Call or text your address and a few photos. Sean reviews the roofline, entry, access and timing, then arranges a visit to measure. You can meet Sean and learn about Heritage before getting started.
Choose Your Display. Review a proposal with trees, greenery, pathways and accents priced separately. Choose the details that suit your house and see how each changes the cost.

Christmas Lighting Across Metairie
Metairie's holiday traditions include Christmas in the Park at Lafreniere Park. Around the community, a thoughtful home display brings that seasonal welcome to the streets, front walks and porches people pass every day.
We design for the range of properties in Jefferson Parish, from cottages and wide single story homes to the lakefront streets of Pontchartrain Shores and the businesses along Metairie Road. Roofline length, setbacks and the view from the sidewalk shape each proposal.
We also serve nearby River Ridge, Kenner and Lakeview. Share your address and preferred date so Sean can confirm availability.
What to Know Before Planning Your Metairie Display
-
Contact us in September or October for the best choice of installation dates. If you want the house ready for Thanksgiving guests or a party, include that date with your quote request. Sean will confirm availability before scheduling.
-
Access is often simpler than on a two story house, but roofline length still matters. A wide Metairie home can need as much material as a taller house. Your quote accounts for linear footage, reach, greenery, trees and other details.
-
Yes. We can combine a continuous roofline with pre lit wreaths, garland and tree lighting. Each addition is priced separately so you can choose the display that suits your home. Send a few photos of the front of the property.
-
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.
-
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 need attic space for it.
-
Yes. We serve Old Metairie as well as the wider Metairie area. Share your address so Sean can look at your roofline, trees and access and confirm availability.
-
Heritage Lighting Co. owns the lights. Your seasonal service includes design, installation, maintenance, removal and storage. We handle failed bulbs and strands during the season.
-
Yes. Sean can explain permanent lighting options, maintenance and manufacturer coverage. Interior decorating is available through a decorator working with Heritage. Tell us whether you are considering a tree, mantel, doorway or foyer.
