Exton neighborhoods, townhome communities and the business strips along Route 30 and Route 100, lit for the holidays while you stay on the ground.
Exton is not a borough. It is a community inside West Whiteland Township, built up around the crossing of Route 30 and Route 100, with Route 202 close by. Since Exton Square Mall opened in 1973, the township has filled in with neighborhoods, townhome communities, shopping centers and office parks. The result is newer homes with garages and gables, rows of townhomes with shared rules, and businesses that want to be seen from a busy road.
We offer Christmas light installation in Exton for single-family homes and townhomes, permanent lighting for people who never want to hang lights again, and holiday lighting for shops, offices and community entrances. Tell us about the property (a few photos help) and we will send a free quote.
Many Exton houses share a similar shape: a two-story front, a garage with its own gable and a few shrubs along the walk. That makes for a clean, balanced look when the eaves, the garage peak and the front beds are all lit together, and it is a great house to light either for one season or for good. If there is a young ornamental tree or two out front, those are quick to wrap and look lovely lit. Lamp posts, mailboxes and the shrubs along the walk are easy finishing touches that tie the whole front together.
A permanent system is mounted along the trim and stays up year round, close enough to the house that it is easy to miss in daylight. Many systems let you change colors from an app. On a house with a long, simple eave line, it is a tidy option.
If you would rather light the house just for the holidays, we hang the lights before the season and take them down when it is over. Clips hold the lights without nails or staples, which is why installers use them on trim and gutters, and we store everything for you between seasons.
Shops, restaurants and offices along Route 30 and Route 100 are seen by a lot of passing traffic in December. Storefronts, entrances, signs and front landscaping can be lit for the season, and so can the entrance to a townhome community or an office building.
With so many office parks in the township, December brings plenty of company events. We can light a patio, an entrance or a party space with string lights, bistro lights and lit trees for the night. The same goes for a holiday gathering at home, from a backyard fire pit evening to a big family open house.
A lot of Exton living is in townhome and planned communities, and many of them have a homeowners association with rules about holiday decorations. Rules can cover when lights may go up, when they must come down, which colors are allowed or what can be attached to the outside of a unit. Send your HOA guidelines with your quote request and the plan takes them into account.
On a townhome the front is narrow and the neighbors are close, so the lights stay on your unit and cords stay off shared walks. If several owners in a row want their homes lit, booking together gives the whole row a matching look.
Community entrances are another good fit. A lit sign, a few trees and some shrubs at the front gate tell everyone driving in that the season has started, and the association only has to make one call. A lit entrance also helps visitors and delivery drivers find the right turn on a dark December evening, which on a busy road like Route 100 is no small thing.
For the many Exton homes with long, straight eaves and a clear garage peak, permanent lighting is worth a serious look. The channel sits tight to the trim, the lights stay put all year, and there is no fall trip up the ladder. If you plan to stay in the house for years, the lights earn their place all year, warm white on ordinary evenings and color for game days, birthdays and every holiday on the calendar.
Seasonal lights still make sense for plenty of houses. If you are not sure how long you will be in the house, if your HOA limits what can stay on the outside, or if you just love the look of classic C9 bulbs, a seasonal install is the simple answer. We supply the lights for it, so there is nothing to buy, and we store them for you after the season.
Not sure? Think about how long you plan to stay, what your community allows and how you like the house to look, then tell us whether you lean toward seasonal or permanent when you ask for a quote.
One more thing to think about is the garage. When the garage faces the street and has its own gable, it is the first thing people see. Lighting that peak and the eave over the doors frames the whole front, and on a permanent system it is often where the lights show off best.
Yes. Exton sits inside West Whiteland Township, and we light homes, townhomes and businesses across Exton and the township. It is well inside the area we cover, which runs about 30 miles around Malvern, so Exton homes are close to the middle of our route.
Send your HOA guidelines with your quote request and the plan takes them into account, whether the rules cover colors, what can attach to the outside of the home, or the dates lights may go up and must come down.
A permanent system mounts in a slim channel along the trim of the house and stays up all year. Many systems let you change colors and set schedules from an app, so there is nothing to hang each fall.
It depends on how long you plan to stay and how often you light the house. If you would use lights through the year, not only in December, and expect to be there for years, permanent lighting saves the yearly setup. If you might move, or your HOA limits what can stay on the house, seasonal installation is usually the better fit.
Yes. Storefronts, signs, entrances, front landscaping and community or office entrances can be lit for the holiday season. Businesses along Route 30 and Route 100 get a lot of passing traffic in December, so a lit front is seen by many people every evening.
The price depends on how much of the home is lit, how high it is, whether shrubs or a small tree are included, the bulb style and color, and timers. A townhome front is usually a smaller job than a detached house. Tell us about it and the quote is free.
