We walk the roofline, trees, shrubs, and grounds — or your storefront and grounds on commercial jobs — and measure exact runs before quoting anything.
What we build
Holiday & Permanent Lighting in Walled Lake, MI
Custom-fit holiday lighting installed, maintained, and taken down by a CLIPA-certified crew, plus app-controlled permanent lighting that stays up and looks sharp all year, for homes and businesses across the Lakes Area.
The work
Most holiday lighting problems start with the install. Ladders go up on icy rooflines, strands get stapled or nailed into shingles, gutters, and trim, and connections left unsealed short out the first time a January thaw drives moisture into them. What looked good on Thanksgiving is half dark by New Year's, and the roof paid for it.
Michigan Outdoor Creations runs a CLIPA-certified crew that designs, installs, and removes holiday lighting the way it should be done: measured to the actual roofline, hung on no-damage clips, and built on commercial-grade, cold-rated product. We also install permanent architectural lighting — a fixed LED channel system mounted once along the roofline and controlled from a phone app, so the same lights that run warm white year-round switch to red and green for the holidays, school colors for game day, or any color for a party, with no ladder trips. Same philosophy as the rest of our work: install it right once, and it holds.

How we build it
Our Holiday & Permanent Lighting process
02
Scope
Light color, style, and coverage, or app zones and scenes for a permanent system, locked in with a written fixed price.
03
Build
Install on no-damage clips and mounts, run and secure every connection, and test each strand and zone before we leave.
04
Walkthrough
We walk you through the app or timer. For holiday lighting, we are back on the schedule for full takedown after the season.
The thing other contractors skip
Built for Michigan winters
Lights fail here for two reasons. Connections that were never sealed let moisture in, and the strand goes dark mid-January. And lights left up too long get buried under ice and snow load, which pulls at gutters and shingles all winter. We use sealed, cold-rated connections and locking connectors, and we schedule takedown promptly once the season is over so nothing is hanging on the house during heavy snow and ice removal.
The other half is working safely at height on an icy Michigan roofline. That is a trained, insured crew on the right equipment, not a homeowner on a ladder in December, and CLIPA certification is the standard behind how we install. It is the same safety-and-drainage-first discipline that runs through our hardscape work.
