Christmas Light Installation in Odessa, DE
Historic Odessa is one of the few places in Delaware where a professionally lit roofline has to respect the house. Along Main Street and the streets around it, the older brick and clapboard homes carry original trim and irregular rooflines, and the newer communities filling in toward Middletown and Townsend have the wide fronts and multiple peaks that store-bought strands never cover. We design lighting for your specific home, cut it to your rooflines and peaks, and install it by hand so the lines read clean from the street — on a house built in the 1800s or one built last year.
We're Christmas Bros, a father-and-son team based in northern Delaware. The owners install every job themselves — the same two people who design your display are the ones on the ladder — and we're in the MOT area every week through the season.
All-inclusive, all season
Our holiday lighting is a seasonal lease. You never buy, untangle, or store a strand:
- In-person custom design for your home
- Commercial-grade lights, custom-cut to your rooflines, peaks, and trees
- Professional installation by the owners
- Season-long maintenance — anything goes out, we come fix it
- January takedown and off-season storage
A standout home through the season, and an empty attic year-round.
Installed to respect older homes
Odessa's historic homes get clips sized to the surface — original trim, irregular rooflines and old woodwork are never drilled, nailed or stapled. Newer builds get the same care with crisp, even lines across every peak. Wherever the setup allows, your display goes on a WiFi timer, so it comes on at dusk and off at bedtime without you touching a switch.
Maintained in December, gone in January
Weather takes strands down; we put them back up — included, not extra. Tell us something's out and we respond within 24 hours and complete the repair within 72. When the season closes, we return for careful takedown, pack everything properly, and store it at our place until next year.
Reserve your Odessa date before the fall rush
Because the owners personally handle every install, the calendar is limited and the MOT corridor books early. A 50% deposit locks your install date, with the balance due only after your lights are up and you're happy. Wisetack financing is available if you'd like to spread the cost.
Prefer permanent? Ask about InvisiLights
InvisiLights is low-profile lighting installed into your roofline once — nearly invisible by day, app-controlled by night, ready for the holidays and every occasion after without another install.
Frequently asked questions in Odessa
Can you work on a historic home without damaging it?
Yes, and Odessa has plenty of them. Older trim, original woodwork and irregular rooflines all get clips sized to the surface rather than a one-size strand. Nothing is drilled, nailed or stapled, and everything comes off clean in January.
Is a smaller house worth having done professionally?
That's your call, but the value isn't square footage — it's not getting on a ladder, not storing anything, and having someone fix it when a strand fails in the cold. The quote is free either way, so it costs nothing to find out.
How early should we book?
Early fall. We take a limited number of homes because the owners install every job personally, and the calendar fills from the earliest deposits forward.
