Full Service. Zero Ladder Time.
The Squad runs a complete seasonal program for Twin Cities homes and businesses. Design, materials, installation, in-season service, takedown, and year-round storage. The only thing you do is enjoy the display.
Our lights are commercial-grade LED rated for Minnesota cold. They look warmer, hold color longer, and survive the kind of subzero stretches that destroy big-box-store strings. Because we store them at our facility year-over-year, the same display comes back to your house every fall with zero effort from you.

Once the worst snow clears in March or April, the Squad removes everything and stores it climate-controlled until next October.
What Twin Cities Homeowners Say
"We tried hanging lights ourselves the first winter after we moved in. Nearly broke an ankle on the icy roof. The Squad came out, mapped the whole house, and had it done in an afternoon. Now we just text them in October and our house gets lit. Worth every penny."
"Our HOA in North Oaks finally switched to a real lighting contractor after years of inconsistent results from handymen. MN Lighting Squad does the entire community entrance, the clubhouse, and the perimeter trees. It looks coordinated for the first time in years."
"I manage three retail centers along the I-494 corridor. The Squad installed all three in eight days, on schedule, no callbacks, and the tenants noticed immediately. Easiest vendor I have onboarded in a decade."
"Permanent system on our Wayzata lake house has paid for itself in peace of mind. We change colors for Vikings games, the kids change them for birthdays, and we never touch a ladder. The Squad did clean wiring tucked up under the soffit so you do not even see the channel during the day."
"Our restaurant patio in St. Paul stays open year-round thanks to the permanent string lighting MN Lighting Squad installed last fall. Customers post photos of it constantly. Has driven a measurable bump in our weekend dinner traffic."
"When a strand went out the week before Christmas, I texted them at 7am. Crew was at the house by 11am that same day. No charge. That kind of response is why we keep renewing the contract every year."
Twin Cities Holiday Lighting FAQs
- MN Lighting Squad serves homeowners throughout Minnesota with professional outdoor lighting installation. October is prime time for holiday lighting prep before temperatures drop below our strict minus 20F install window cutoff. We handle everything from design to installation so you never climb a frozen roof again. Our Squad coordinates ice dam aware routing, meaning we install lights and cables in patterns that avoid creating or worsening ice dam conditions on your roof. We assess your roofline, gutters, and potential snow accumulation zones before finalizing any installation plan. Contact us now to lock in your October install date while weather conditions remain favorable for safe roof access and secure mounting.
- MN Lighting Squad works directly with HOA board members to coordinate community wide holiday lighting installations. We schedule multiple homes in your neighborhood on the same routing day, creating efficiency for everyone involved. Our Squad handles all communication with individual homeowners once your board approves the project scope. Every installation follows our ice dam aware approach, protecting your community from lighting setups that trap snow or create melt and refreeze cycles. We provide detailed proposals your board can review and approve at meetings. October scheduling ensures all homes are completed before Minnesota winters make roof work dangerous. Your residents never climb a frozen roof again.
- MN Lighting Squad maintains strict minus 20F install window discipline. When temperatures drop below this threshold, we pause all outdoor installation work. This protects both our Squad members and your property. Extreme cold makes shingles brittle and prone to cracking under foot traffic. Wiring insulation becomes stiff and can split during bending. Adhesives and clips fail to grip properly. Most importantly, working on icy rooflines creates serious fall hazards. October installations in Minnesota avoid these problems entirely. We complete your project while conditions remain safe, so your lights are ready to shine all winter without anyone climbing a frozen roof again.
- MN Lighting Squad handles commercial holiday lighting for businesses, retail centers, and corporate properties across Minnesota. Our Squad approaches commercial projects with the same ice dam aware routing we use on residential work, just at a larger scale. We assess your building facade, roofline, and parking area lighting needs during an initial walkthrough. Commercial installations require careful coordination with your business hours and customer traffic patterns. We schedule work to minimize disruption to your operations. October bookings give us flexibility to complete large projects before our minus 20F install window closes for the season. Your maintenance team never climbs a frozen roof again.
- Improperly installed Christmas lights can contribute to ice dam formation. When cables and clips create barriers in your gutters or along roof edges, they trap snow and debris. Melting snow refreezes behind these obstructions, starting the ice dam cycle. MN Lighting Squad uses ice dam aware routing on every installation. We position lights and secure wiring in ways that allow natural water flow and snow shedding. Our Squad avoids placing hardware in valleys, behind gutters, or anywhere snow naturally accumulates. This approach lets you enjoy beautiful holiday lighting without adding to winter roof problems. Professional installation protects your home while you stay safely on the ground.
