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.

The Squad 5-Step Process
From first call in summer to last clip off in spring. The Squad handles every step.
- 1
Free Twin Cities Site Visit
The Squad lead or a crew lead walks your property, measures, photographs the rooflines, and sends a firm written quote.
- 2
Custom Squad Design
Roofline, dormers, trees, shrubs, pathways, columns. Each home or property gets its own design, never a copy-paste off another job.
- 3
Professional Install
Crews arrive in branded trucks, work safely on Minnesota roofs in the right weather window, and leave your property clean.

In-Season Squad Service
Strand out in mid-December? Text us. We come fix it the same day or the next day. No charge during contracted seasons.
- 5
Spring Takedown + Storage
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
- We serve Hennepin, Ramsey, Dakota, Anoka, and Washington counties. Core service area covers Edina, Minnetonka, Wayzata, Plymouth, Maple Grove, Eden Prairie, Bloomington, Apple Valley, Eagan, Woodbury, Lakeville, Stillwater, North Oaks, Shoreview, plus Minneapolis and St. Paul proper. If you are outside these boundaries, call us. For larger projects we travel.
- We install before the worst freeze, typically mid-October through the first week of December. Our clip systems are rated for Minnesota cold and do not damage shingles or contribute to ice dams the way nails or staples do. If a heavy snow event hits mid-season and something needs adjustment, we come out and fix it. You should never be climbing onto an icy roof to deal with your lights.
- Reserve your spot by Labor Day if you want first pick of dates. Our calendar fills through October and into early December, and once we hit the deep cold we cannot extend the season. Commercial clients on annual contracts get locked install windows before the public calendar opens.
- Three things. First, we work safely on roofs and ladders that should not be climbed in a Minnesota winter. Second, we use commercial-grade LED and channel systems that look better and last longer than anything sold at a big-box store. Third, we store your lights for you year over year so the same display goes back up every season with zero effort from you.
- Permanent lighting is a slim aluminum channel mounted along your roofline or soffit with individually addressable LED nodes inside. You control color, brightness, and patterns from an app. For Twin Cities homes it is especially popular because the long dark winters and brutal cold make a one-time install pay back fast. You skip the ladder, the storage, and the seasonal install fee every year.
