Christmas & Holiday Lighting in West Hempstead

West Hempstead is the hamlet between Hempstead village and Franklin Square — the LIRR station, Hempstead Turnpike's shops, and grid streets of prewar and postwar homes beside the state park. Between the West Hempstead LIRR station and Echo Park the housing shifts from 1920s and '30s Tudors and Colonials on the older streets near West Hempstead LIRR station to 1960s splits toward Franklin Square between Hempstead Turnpike and Hempstead Avenue, with 1950s Capes and ranches on the grid around Hempstead Lake State Park in between — three different jobs for a lighting crew.

Here's what we've learned lighting West Hempstead: tudors get gable-edge outlines; Capes get an outlined dormer. Flat, close-set streets don't punish hardware; they punish sloppy spacing, which is visible from three houses away. So we custom-cut every strand to the roofline so spacing is even from corner to corner, and clip to gutters and shingles without nails or screws.
