West Des Moines might be the most Christmas-light-ambitious city in the metro — and also the one with the tallest rooflines. EverGlow Exteriors hangs holiday lights across all of WDM: the century-old bungalows near Historic Valley Junction, the established streets around Ashworth Road and Valley West, and the big newer two-stories out by Jordan Creek and south of Mills Civic Parkway. Different houses, same service: lights up clean, working all December, gone in January.
Those tall Jordan Creek-area rooflines are exactly why hiring this out makes sense in WDM. A 30-foot peak over a walkout basement is not a job for a borrowed extension ladder on a frosty Saturday. Our crew works at that height all year on window, house-wash, and gutter jobs — December is just the festive version.
“The bigger the roofline, the better it looks lit — and the worse it goes with a borrowed ladder.” — the EverGlow Exteriors crew
What every West Des Moines install includes
- Custom design: rooflines, peaks, columns, and tree wraps quoted from your actual house
- Commercial-grade lights or your own strands — we’ll lay out the honest trade-offs
- Roofline clips, never staples — no holes in shingles or gutters
- December fixes and January takedown included — dark sections are our problem, not yours
The full service breakdown lives on our main Des Moines Christmas light installation page — timing, clips versus staples, and why October installs look better than late-November ones.
How much does Christmas light installation cost in West Des Moines?
WDM quotes vary more than anywhere else we work, because the housing does: a Valley Junction bungalow roofline is a fraction of the footage of a Jordan Creek two-story with multiple gables. Pricing follows feet of lit roofline, height, and design complexity — so we quote every house individually. Text your address to (515) 642-1986; quotes are free and usually back the same day.
Thinking about never taking them down?
Plenty of WDM homeowners are switching to permanent christmas lights — discreet channel-mounted LEDs installed once, controlled from your phone, holiday colors in December and warm-white accent lighting the rest of the year. On big rooflines the never-again-rehang math gets compelling fast. We install both, so ask for the comparison.
West Des Moines questions we hear a lot
Can you handle very tall two-story homes?
Yes — that’s most of our WDM work. Steep peaks, walkout-basement backs, and 30-foot gables are what our equipment and training are for. It’s the same height work we do on windows and gutters all year.
When do West Des Moines install dates fill up?
The good October dates are usually claimed by early fall. Booking runs September through November, and the calendar fills from the front — call in September and your lights go up in dry, mild weather.
Do you light trees and bushes too, or just rooflines?
Both. Roofline is the anchor, and tree wraps, bush nets, and column wraps layer on from there. Tell us what you’re picturing when you text your address and we’ll quote the whole look.
