The Christmas Lights for Atlanta team
Every post in our Tips section is written by the people who do the work. We’ve been hanging Atlanta’s Christmas lights since 2019, and the questions we answer here are the ones we hear on driveways every fall: How do I know my outlet works? How many feet is my roofline, really? Will these lights wreck my power bill?
So we keep the posts short and practical. Most of them end in a checklist you can screenshot, because nobody wants to scroll back through an article while standing on the lawn with a tape measure.
A few ground rules for everything we publish. We don’t post prices. Every house gets its own free written quote, based on roofline footage, height and pitch, trees and shrubs, how dense the design is, and any extras like wreaths or garland. When we use numbers, like bulb wattage or a per-kWh rate, we say where they come from or label them as an example so you can swap in your own.
If a post doesn’t answer your question, skip the reading and text a photo of your house to (470) 470-4485, or use the contact form. We’ll take it from there.
