The Christmas Lights of Atlanta crew

The Journal is written by the Christmas Lights of Atlanta crew, the same people who measure, design, and hang the lights. Our installers have worked Atlanta rooflines since 2018, and the notes here come from that work: the large brick and stone traditionals of Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Roswell, and Cumming, with their two-story foyers and estate lots, the brick colonials and Tudors of Buckhead and the close-in neighborhoods, the Victorians and bungalows of the older intown streets, and the storefronts and restaurant patios in between.

We write about the decisions that shape how a house reads from the street. Warm white at about 2700K against cool white. C9 against C7 against mini lights. Which lines of a roofline to light and which to leave dark. How bulb spacing sets the rhythm of a gable. How a wreath at each window can do more than another run of lights.

We also write about the practical side. Commercial-grade LED strands are cut to measured runs and held with shingle clips, gutter clips, and tension wraps, never staples, nails, or screws. A timer is set at install. If a section goes dark in December, a photo texted to us puts it on the next route. In January the lights come down, coiled and labeled, and stay in storage with us until next season.

Nothing in the Journal quotes a price. Every quote is free, written, and itemized, built from the house itself: footage, height and pitch, trees, density, and specialty pieces. The way to get one is to text a photo of the house and the address to (470) 380-7797, or to use the contact form.
