Christmas Light Installation in St. James, NY

Christmas & Holiday Lighting in St. James

Ask anyone in St. James for directions and they'll point you to Lake Avenue's shops or the St. James General Store. St. James is a village-feeling hamlet around Lake Avenue — the General Store, the LIRR station, Deepwells, and older homes on tree-lined side streets. The homes run to Victorian and Colonial Revival homes along Lake Avenue, 1950s and '60s Capes and ranches on the side streets, and estate homes on the wooded lanes toward Head of the Harbor, and that range is exactly why a one-size display doesn't work here.

Two things shape every St. James install. First: lake Avenue's Victorians have porches and gable trim that outline beautifully; clip-only attachment. Second: wooded lots keep the wind down but put the best lighting opportunities — specimen trees, driveway approaches — well away from the nearest outlet. Tree wraps, driveway pathway lights, and the roofline each run on their own timer and circuit, planned on the design visit.
