Holiday Lighting in La Jolla
Christmas Light Installation in La Jolla
Our shop is in La Jolla. We design, hang, service, and take down holiday lights from Bird Rock to La Jolla Farms, then store the whole display for you until next November.
We're based on Girard Ave in the Village, so La Jolla homes are usually the first stop on the truck's route. That is also why La Jolla dates disappear before anywhere else on this list.

Holiday Lights That Fit a La Jolla Roofline
Christmas light installation in La Jolla runs into the same three problems on almost every street. The rooflines are rarely simple. Half the homes are two stories on a slope. And the trim is usually something the owner does not want punctured.
So we cut every strand to your house. The crew measures the fascia, the gables, the palms, and the entry, then builds the run before install day. Clips only. Nothing gets stapled and nothing gets taped.
- Warm-white or classic C9 roofline runs
- Wrapped trunks on palms, olives, and pepper trees
- Wreaths, garlands, and window candles
- Pathway lighting to match the roof
- Smart timers that come on at dusk on their own
Bird Rock, the Shores, the Muirlands: Street by Street
The job changes block to block here. Bird Rock is tight lots and close-set two-stories a few hundred feet off the water, so the roofline is short and the salt is heavy. La Jolla Shores is flat, beach-adjacent, and full of palms worth wrapping. The Muirlands is hillside homes on a grade with long fascia runs and driveways that climb, which is where second-story footage and tree wrapping both add up. La Jolla Farms is big lots above Black's Beach with rooflines you only read from the drive, and Windansea and the Village are the cottages and older homes closest to our shop on Girard.
A Bird Rock or Windansea cottage with one clean run sits near the $800 minimum. A Muirlands two-story with a wrapped palm or two lands in the $1,200 to $2,400 range most La Jolla homes do, and a La Jolla Farms property with the drive and the trees in the plan runs past it. The rates are the same on every street, $8 a linear foot on the first story and $10 on the second for roofline C9, and the full sheet is on our pricing page.
Two La Jolla Homes From Last Season
Both photos on this page are real La Jolla installs. The night shot is a warm-white package on a white two-story: every roofline traced, a sleigh and reindeer set on the ridge, garland and red bows on the front windows. The daytime shot is a Mediterranean home mid-install, with garland running the balconies and wire reindeer out on the lawn.
That is the honest spread. One clean roofline reads beautifully from the street. A full property, roof plus trees plus entry, is a different project and a different number. We will tell you which one your house actually wants.
Salt Air Is Why We Skip Store-Bought Strands
Windansea and La Jolla Shores homes sit in salt spray all winter. Consumer light strings corrode at the socket first, and then a third of the roofline goes dark the week before Christmas.
Every bulb we hang is commercial grade, with a weather-sealed socket and UV-stable wire. We own the lights, not you. When something fails it is our problem and our truck, not your Saturday. In-season repairs are included in the price.
Permanent Lighting and Event Nights
Some La Jolla clients get tired of the yearly cycle and switch to permanent lighting. A slim channel tucks under the fascia, color-matched to your trim, and you run it from an app. Warm white on a Tuesday, red and green in December, dark the rest of the year. On a long Muirlands or La Jolla Farms roofline, where the feet add up every season, it is the version that pays for itself soonest.
We also light weddings, graduations, and backyard parties around the Village and the Shores. Bistro strings, uplighting, and path lights, set before guests arrive and gone the next morning.
When La Jolla Books Out
Installs booked by October 31 are 10% off. Booking now locks in both your price and your install date, and November and December usually sell out. The two weeks right after Thanksgiving always go first.
Jobs start at $800. Year 2 and Year 3 run 10% under your Year 1 price, because the design and the custom cutting only happen once. Call or text (858) 315-1247 and we will walk your roofline with you.

FAQ
La Jolla lighting, common questions
- All of it. Bird Rock, La Jolla Shores, the Muirlands, the Village, Windansea, and La Jolla Farms. Our shop is here, so most La Jolla homes are the first stop on the route that day.
- Yes. Two-story and split-level homes on a grade are normal work for us. The crew carries the ladder sizes and the fall protection for it, and Coastal Clarity is fully insured and carries a City of San Diego business license.
- Roofline C9 runs $8 a linear foot on the first story and $10 on the second, with an $800 minimum, and most La Jolla homes land in the $1,200 to $2,400 range all-in. The number moves with linear feet, story count, and how many trees you want wrapped. You get one fixed price up front. No hourly billing and no change orders once the crew is on site.
- No. We pull everything down after the holidays, inspect each strand, label the set for your address, and store it off-site at no charge until next season. Nothing lives in your garage.
- Both. Wrapped palm trunks are one of the best-looking things you can do on a La Jolla street, and we handle olives, pepper trees, and hedges too. Say so when you send your photo and it goes into the preview.
