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
- 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.
- Commercial work is a big part of what the Squad does. We handle office parks, retail centers, restaurants, hotels, HOAs, planned communities, and multi-tenant industrial. We carry the right insurance and equipment for large facades, lift work, and after-hours scheduling so we do not disrupt your tenants or guests.
