Frequently Asked Questions – Christmas Lights in Sarasota
Are your Christmas lights energy-efficient?
Absolutely! Our professional-grade LED lights are incredibly energy-efficient and use significantly less electricity than traditional incandescent bulbs. This means you can enjoy a spectacular holiday display without worrying about sky-high electric bills during the season. LED technology not only saves you money on energy costs but also produces less heat, making them perfect for Florida’s climate, and they last much longer than conventional holiday lights, which is part of why we can offer our comprehensive four-year commitment.
What light colors and styles are available?
We offer an impressive variety of lighting options to match your personal style and home’s character. Our selection includes warm white for that cozy, elegant glow, pure white for a crisp modern look, and festive candy cane patterns that alternate red and pure white. If you’re feeling adventurous, we also provide vibrant multi-color displays featuring red, green, blue, and white, or we can work with you to create custom color combinations that reflect your unique vision for the holidays.
Do you install Christmas lights on landscaping?
Whether you’re in Sarasota, Siesta Key, or Lakewood Ranch, our full-service installation covers both roofline and landscape lighting. From illuminating palm trees and walkways to highlighting garden beds and entryways, we’ll create a warm, cohesive display that makes your property shine from every angle.
How do you price Christmas lights installation?
We price each Christmas light installation based on your unique vision and the size of your home. Every display is fully customized—from the roofline to the landscape—so you get a design that feels one-of-a-kind and perfectly tailored to your property and budget.
For your first season with us, you’ll purchase the lights along with installation and takedown in a single, convenient transaction. In the seasons that follow, you only pay for installation and takedown—letting you enjoy a stunning, hassle-free display year after year.
How does the custom design process work?
We meet with each homeowner to discuss their ideas and preferences, offering suggestions to bring their vision to life. Our Christmas Light Book showcases a variety of display examples, making it easy to choose a design that perfectly fits your home.
How does scheduling for the installation and takedown work?
A day or two after Christmas, we send out a quick survey to see if you have a preferred takedown date. Once we’ve collected everyone’s responses, we begin scheduling, always keeping HOA guidelines in mind—most communities require lights to be removed by January 15th or earlier.
What is Shack Shine Sarasota’s quality guarantee for Christmas Lights product?
Our 4-year commitment ensures your lights stay bright and beautiful. For up to four years after your purchase, we’ll replace any faulty lights at no cost. (This does not apply if lights are left up year-round.)
Do Shack Shine Sarasota have a happiness guarantee?
At Shack Shine Sarasota, we believe your home should shine—and so should your experience with us. Every job comes with our Happiness Guarantee: if you’re not completely satisfied, we’ll make it right. It’s not just about sparkling windows, bright gutters, or holiday lights—it’s about the peace of mind and joy that come from a job done with care. Your happiness isn’t just guaranteed—it’s our promise.
When should I book my Christmas light installation?
The best time to secure your holiday lighting installation is during early fall, well before the busy holiday season kicks into high gear. This timing ensures you’ll have your preferred installation date and gives our team ample opportunity to design the perfect display for your home. Early booking is especially important in Sarasota, where many residents host holiday gatherings and want their homes looking spectacular throughout the extended Florida holiday season.

How do Christmas lights hold up in Sarasota’s coastal climate?
Our professional-grade LED lights are specifically chosen to withstand Florida’s coastal conditions, including humidity, occasional storms, and salt air exposure. The commercial-quality materials we use are designed for durability and longevity, which is why we can confidently offer our four-year commitment. Our expert installation techniques also ensure your lights are securely fastened to handle any weather conditions that might arise during the holiday season along the Gulf Coast.
