How Langley homes and weather shape the job
Langley is inland, so winter nights run colder and frost shows up more often than in the coastal cities. Cold outflow wind also comes through in winter. Both affect roof work. If a roof is frosty, slick or windy, we move the job rather than push it. Morning work may wait for the frost to clear.
The homes matter too. Walnut Grove and Murrayville have many family homes with two-storey entries and several gables. That means long rooflines and more time on a ladder than most people want. Brookswood and Fernridge have heavy evergreen cover on many lots, so trees often become part of the plan.
If you have bins of lights in the garage and you are done with the ladder, this is the job we do.
Booking one job at a time
Each job can be booked alone. Install, repair and removal are separate, and that includes lights someone else hung. There is no program to join and no yearly plan.
If your own lights are outdoor-rated and working, we hang them. If they are not, we supply lights. We use clips only. No nails or staples go into your roof or trim.
We explain what the price depends on before you book. In Langley it usually comes down to a few things.
- How long the rooflines are and how many gables there are
- How much ladder work the house needs
- How many trees or shrubs you want lit, and how long the cord runs are
- Whether you bring the lights or we supply them
Removal is done in January, so you do not have to think about it in the new year.
Townhouses, stratas and acreages
Willoughby and Yorkson have a large number of newer townhouses and row homes, many under strata rules. Many recent Langley homes are strata townhouses with attached garages. We also do stratas, low-rise condos and storefronts, so a strata can book one job for a whole building. Check your bylaws on exterior lighting first, and we can work within what your strata allows.
Around Fort Langley and Aldergrove, acreages bring long driveways, gates and big trees that people want lit. Those jobs often mean long cord runs, so we look at the layout before we talk about the price. Tree and shrub lighting can be booked on its own or with the roofline.
Langley City Centre has older detached homes and low-rise condos. Those are usually simpler roofline jobs.
