EverGlow Exteriors · Clive Christmas Light Installation · (515) 642-1986

Clive has something most metro suburbs don’t: real trees. The neighborhoods along the Greenbelt Trail grew up around mature oaks and maples, and in December a properly wrapped trunk under a lit roofline beats any inflatable on the block. EverGlow Exteriors installs Christmas lights across Clive — established streets near the Greenbelt, the Country Club area, and the newer builds west of 128th — with the tree work that makes older neighborhoods glow.

Every install is the full season: design, hang, fix anything that goes dark in December, and take it all down in January with the strands coiled and boxed. Roofline clips only — no staples in your shingles — and no ladders in your garage doing anything but storing paint.

“A wrapped oak does more for a street than a mile of rope light.” — the EverGlow Exteriors crew

Tree wraps: the Clive specialty

Wrapping a mature trunk and its first branches evenly — without strangling the tree or leaving gaps — is slow, detailed work, which is why most homeowners try it once and never again. We wrap trunks and branch lines to the height that fits your tree and budget, pair them with the roofline, and the whole yard reads as one design. If your street backs onto the Greenbelt, one wrapped tree is visible from the whole trail.

What every Clive install includes

• Design and measured quote: roofline footage, tree wraps, columns — priced from your actual house
• Commercial-grade lights or your own strands — with an honest read on both
• Roofline clips, never staples — no punctured shingles or rust marks
• December fixes and January takedown included — labeled boxes, organized garage

The complete how-it-works — booking windows, weather, clips versus staples — is on our main Des Moines Christmas light installation page.

How much does Christmas light installation cost in Clive?

Roofline footage, house height, and design detail set the price — and in Clive, tree wraps are the variable that moves quotes most, since trunk wrapping is labor-intensive by nature. We quote each property individually: text your address to (515) 642-1986, mention which trees you want lit, and the free quote usually comes back the same day.

Want lights that stay up year-round?

Permanent christmas lights — app-controlled LEDs in a discreet channel along the roofline — pair beautifully with seasonal tree wraps: the roofline stays lit all year in any color, and the trees get dressed just for December. We install both across Clive and will quote the combination.

Clive questions we hear a lot

Do tree wraps hurt the tree?

Not the way we do them. Wraps go on snug but not tight, come off in January before spring growth, and use LED strands that stay cool. The trees along the Greenbelt have survived far worse than Christmas.

When should Clive homes book?

September or October — tree wraps take longer than plain rooflines, so Clive installs benefit most from the early, mild-weather slots. The calendar fills from the front every year.

Can you use the strands I already own?

Yes, if they’re in good shape — we’ll hang them with proper clips and tell you honestly whether they’ll last the season. We can also quote commercial-grade lights alongside, so you can compare before deciding.
