Grimes is full of families spending their first or second Christmas in a brand-new house — and a new house with a dark roofline in December feels unfinished. EverGlow Exteriors installs Christmas lights across Grimes, from the subdivisions spreading off Highway 141 to the established streets near Main Street. We design it, hang it with clips that never touch your new shingles, fix anything that blinks out, and take it all down in January.
The good news about Grimes homes: newer construction means clean, continuous rooflines that install quickly and light evenly. Many Grimes installs are done in a single morning — which also means install dates here stay a little more available than in the bigger suburbs. A little.
“A new street where one house lights up becomes a lit street by next December.” — the EverGlow Exteriors crew
What every Grimes install includes
- Design and measured quote — from your actual roofline footage and the look you want
- Commercial-grade lights or your own strands — we’ll tell you the honest trade-offs
- Clips only, never staples — your new roof stays exactly as the builder left it
- December fixes and January takedown included — strands come down coiled and labeled
Everything about how installs work — booking windows, clips versus staples, timing — is on our main Des Moines Christmas light installation page.
How much does Christmas light installation cost in Grimes?
Feet of lit roofline, house height, and design complexity set the number. Grimes quotes often land on the friendlier end because the rooflines are newer and cleaner — less ladder gymnastics, more straight runs. We quote each house individually: text your address to (515) 642-1986 and the free quote is usually back the same day.
New house? Consider lights that never come down
If you just built, permanent christmas lights are worth a look before you buy your first strands: app-controlled LEDs in a slim channel that matches your trim, holiday colors in December, warm-white house lighting the rest of the year, zero ladders forever. We install both across Grimes and quote them side by side.
Grimes questions we hear a lot
How fast can you get our lights up?
In September and October, often within the week — Grimes installs are quick and we route through town regularly. By late November it depends on the calendar, which is why early callers win every year.
Will anything touch our new roof?
Only clips — they grip shingle edges and gutter lips without a single hole or staple. When the lights come down in January, your roof is exactly as the builder handed it over.
Do you take the lights down after the holidays?
Yes — January takedown is part of every install. Strands come down coiled, boxed, and labeled so next year starts with a tidy shelf instead of a knot.
