What a Pro Twin Cities Install Actually Looks Like
Drive any street in Edina or Wayzata in December and you can tell instantly which homes hired pros and which did not. Pro homes have even spacing along the eaves, consistent color temperature, no sagging strings, and no visible extension cords on the lawn. DIY homes do not. It is that obvious.
The Squad brings commercial-grade LED to your home and installs it the way Lighting Partners crews install for corporate clients. Same clips, same wiring discipline, same standards. Plus you stop putting yourself on a ladder in November weather. We also serve Minnetonka, Eden Prairie, Woodbury, Stillwater, and Maple Grove.

Twin Cities Home Lighting Options
The Squad designs each home individually. Your display fits your architecture, your taste, and the way your neighborhood does it.
Roofline Lighting
Crisp warm white or full color along ridges, peaks, eaves, and valleys. The classic Twin Cities holiday look that defines your home against an early December dusk.
Tree and Shrub Wrapping
Wrapped trunks on mature Minnesota maples and oaks, lit shrubs along the foundation. The layered look that makes <a href="/service-areas/edina/" class="text-brand-700 underline hover:no-underline">Edina</a> and <a href="/service-areas/wayzata/" class="text-brand-700 underline hover:no-underline">Wayzata</a> streets look so good in December.
Pathway and Driveway Accents
Ground stakes, post-cap lights, lamppost wraps, and driveway accent lighting. Guides guests safely from a snow-covered driveway to your front door.
Window and Archway Frames
Interior window silhouettes and exterior window framing. Elegant detail work that reads beautifully from the street without blocking your interior view.
Garage and Entry Features
Garage door outlines, front door canopy wraps, pillar lighting, and front porch accents. Anchors the facade so the whole house feels intentional.
Permanent LED Upgrade
Want to be done climbing the ladder forever? The Squad will design and install a permanent channel system on any residential property. Ask about converting an existing seasonal account.
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."
"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."
"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."
"We hosted a holiday open house in early December and the Squad got us done a full week ahead of schedule. The display made the night. Half the guests asked who did our lights."
"Stillwater downtown is full of historic buildings and most lighting crews are afraid to touch them. The Squad has the right ladders, the right insurance, and crews who clearly know what they are doing on older facades. Our storefront looks like a postcard now."
"After 11 years of putting up our own lights I finally hired pros. My only regret is waiting until I was 58 to do it. The crew was respectful, fast, and the install looks ten times cleaner than anything I ever did myself."
"Permanent LED on the new build in Lakeville was a builder upgrade we almost skipped. Cannot imagine the house without it now. We have hit every holiday and every kids birthday on the app already."
Twin Cities Residential Lighting FAQs
- 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.
- Property managers trust MN Lighting Squad to handle outdoor lighting across multiple properties efficiently. We coordinate scheduling so our Squad can service several buildings in your portfolio on optimized routes. You receive one point of contact for all properties rather than juggling multiple vendors. Our ice dam aware installation methods protect the buildings you manage from lighting related roof damage. We document everything with photos and provide clear reporting for your records. October scheduling locks in favorable weather windows before Minnesota winter arrives. Your maintenance staff and residents never climb a frozen roof again. We handle installation, maintenance, and removal as needed.
