Before and after holiday lighting installation by Clearly Amazing

Clearly Amazing installs, maintains and takes down holiday lighting for homes and businesses across the City of Alexandria. The lights are professional-grade LED in white or multicolor, cut to the length of your rooflines. They go up on clips alone, with no nails or screws driven into the house, and each connection is weather-rated.

Your roofline, if your house is attached

Of the 80,844 housing units the Census Bureau counts in Alexandria, 16,825 are single-family attached homes. On an attached house, the roof edge can run straight across into the neighbor’s home, so the estimate settles exactly where your lights begin and end. The lights can stop cleanly at your property line or, if neighbors want to coordinate, continue along the row.

Holiday decorations in the Old and Historic Alexandria District

For homes in the Old and Historic Alexandria District, a city policy on BAR approvals puts seasonal holiday decorations on its list of work that needs no approval from the Board of Architectural Review. For a holiday display, the district adds no extra step.

The city’s 2025 Tree Lighting Ceremony was held in Market Square at 301 King Street, on Saturday, November 22, with free admission.

What goes up on your roofline

Clips hold each strand along the gutter edge or tuck under the shingle edge without making holes, so when the display comes down the house is left as it was. Because the strands are cut to your rooflines, there are no loose coils bunched at the corners or long runs of extra wire.

LED strands draw far less power than older incandescent sets and run cool, so a large display is easier on the circuit. Weather-rated connections keep rain from reaching the joints between strands.

What the job involves

Design. At the estimate we look at your rooflines and plan where the clips go along the gutter or shingle edge, and where the display starts and stops.

Install. Professional-grade LED goes up on clips only, with weather-rated connections at every joint.

Maintain and remove. Should any strand stop working before the holidays end, a mid-season repair visit puts it right. When the holidays are over, we take the display down and store it for you.

Areas we cover in Alexandria

We light homes and businesses in Old Town, Del Ray, Parker-Gray and Seminary Hill, plus the rest of the city. Other parts of Northern Virginia are handled from our Sterling office.

When to schedule in Alexandria

Installations are scheduled through December, and you decide when the lights actually come on. Takedown and storage after the season are part of the service, so nothing has to stay on the roof once the holidays are over. If you want the lights on by a particular date, mention it when you call so the install can be planned around it.

Questions Alexandria customers ask

I live in a rowhouse and only want my section lit. Is that possible?

Yes. We plan a clean stop at your property line during the estimate.

Do I need historic district approval for holiday lights?

In the Old and Historic Alexandria District, seasonal holiday decorations are on the list of items that need no BAR approval.

What if part of the display goes out in December?

Call us. We do mid-season repairs: if a strand or section goes dark, we come back and fix it.

Can I just hang the lights myself?

Some people do, on a single-story house.

Will the clips damage my gutters or shingles?

Clips grip the gutter lip or slide under the shingle edge, so nothing is drilled or nailed. When the display comes down, the clips come off with it.

Can you light a storefront or office?

Yes. We install holiday lighting for businesses as well as homes, with the same LED, clips and weather-rated connections.
