Our Story: From Handyman Calls to Lighting Up the Front Range
It all started with a simple question from our handyman clients:
“Do you guys install Christmas lights?”
Back then, we were handling everything from repairs for homeowners to service calls for real estate agents. But as more clients asked for holiday lights, we realized something: this was the perfect mix of creativity, craftsmanship, and joy.
With over 30 years of combined experience in construction, specialty installs, and home services, we already had the tools, the know-how, and the teamwork to make lighting displays look as good as they were built.
What began as a seasonal side service quickly became our favorite work to do—fun, festive, and a chance to transform homes.
Now, with Front Range Light Works, we’re focusing on professional-grade lighting installations—seasonal and permanent—because we love the challenge, the creativity, and the smiles it brings to families.
And we don’t just want to participate in the market—we aim to set the standard: top-tier service, premium products, and an install experience that’s as seamless as it is spectacular.

When should I book my holiday light installation in Denver?
Book early—think September or early October—to snag your spot before the Front Range rush! We do installs through mid-December, but spots fill faster than a snowball fight. As insured pros with 30+ years, we're ready for your custom glow-up. Pro tip: Early birds get twinkly worms (and priority scheduling).
How much does holiday light installation cost in greater Denver?
Pricing starts at ~ $500+ based on your home's size, design complexity, and add-ons like icicle lights or light trees. The average home in the Denver Metro we quote is about $1350. We provide a free estimate after a quick in person consult. Our 50% deposit secures your date (non-refundable once materials are ordered), with the balance due post-install. Transparent? You bet—no surprises, just sparkle!
Do you install my own holiday lights, or do I buy them from you?
We can install your lights (no warranty on 'em, though—fair warning!), but for top-tier quality and our 100% satisfaction guarantee, we recommend our commercial-grade LEDs. With us, you get hassle-free use all season and own the lights outright!
What makes your lights and installations high-quality and safe?
We use durable, weather-proof LEDs (UL-listed cords, commercial timers—no flimsy stuff here) that withstand Denver's wild winters. Our team (led by Meow Wolf vet Blake) follows strict safety protocols: insured liability, no-risk installs, and testing every bulb. If bulbs blow or blizzards bite, our warranty covers complimentary fixes. Your home's safety? Our holiday hug.
What's the installation process like? Do I need to be home?
Easy as pie: Free consult → Custom design (foliage wraps? Twinkle options? You name it) → 2-6 hour install (we handle the heights—you sip cocoa). No need to be home; just ensure outlets are ready and pets are chilling. We'll test everything and set timers. Post-install? Pure magic, minus the ladder drama.
How does maintenance and warranty work during the season?
Zero worries—we guarantee 100% functionality with complimentary burn-out repairs and connection fixes all season. Mid-season tweaks? Optional service calls (free for basics). Send a dusk pic if issues pop up; we'll swoop in faster than Santa on a deadline. Warranty excludes wildlife munchies or tampering, but hey, that's why we love complicated projects!
When and how do you handle removal and storage?
Schedule takedown by March 31 (we’ll nudge you with a friendly reminder—no late fees!). We remove your lights—owned by you outright—carefully (1-3 hours), provide labeled totes for storage, and prep everything for next year. Enjoy a discount on your next install, though the upfront cost reflects the premium light investment. No attic chaos here—just holiday-ready simplicity!
What about payments and cancellations?
Simple: 50% deposit to lock in materials/scheduling, balance post-install (cards, checks—easy peasy). Cancellations pre-materials? No penalty. Post-order? Deposit's non-refundable to cover our holiday hustle. We process via Sanctuary Supply for PMA efficiency, but your satisfaction's our North Star.
What's this PMA membership thing? Is it safe/legit?
When you hire us, you join our Bioharmony Collective PMA for exclusive, private service—think VIP access without corporate red tape. It's Colorado-legal for streamlined ops, but we prioritize your trust: Fully insured, 100% satisfaction, and our rep's on the line (reviews don't lie!). Disputes? Informal chats first, then fair arbitration. No court drama—just glowing results.
Can you do non-holiday lighting, like bistro patios or events?
Absolutely! Beyond Christmas wizardry, we craft year-round bistro string lights for cozy Denver patios and event setups for weddings/parties (think twinkling reefs or light trees). Custom? Our specialty. Book a free estimate—we'll turn your backyard bash into a Blake Cahill masterpiece.
