It’s already December 11, and if you’re like most people, the holiday season has arrived a lot faster than expected. Between work, shopping, travel plans, and family events, decorating the outside of your home may have slipped to the bottom of the list. The good news? You’re not too late — and your home can still look incredible before Christmas arrives.
At Baker Softwash, we’re finishing up installations across North Carolina, and we know plenty of homeowners are just now realizing they want their home glowing for the holidays. Whether you’re hosting family, preparing for a holiday party, or simply want your home to feel more festive, there is still time to get a professional, beautiful lighting display this season.
Here’s why December installs are more popular than you think — and why it’s worth booking one now.
1. There’s No Rule That Lights Must Go Up Early
Some people decorate in early November, but many homeowners actually wait until mid-December to put up their lights. Life gets busy, weather gets unpredictable, and sometimes you just don’t have the time (or energy) to deal with ladders and tangled strands.
A December 11 install still gives you:
-
nearly two full weeks of Christmas glow
-
beautiful lighting for holiday visitors
-
a festive look for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day
-
a cheerful home through New Year’s
Holiday spirit doesn’t have a deadline — and your home can still shine bright.
2. It Instantly Transforms Your Home for Guests and Events
This is the time of year when people host family dinners, neighborhood gatherings, and office parties. Even if you haven’t decorated yet, your home can still look polished and welcoming in just a few hours with a professional installation.
A clean roofline outline, bright walkway lights, and warm LED accents around trees or bushes go a long way in creating that “wow” moment when guests arrive.
It feels festive, intentional, and elegant — even if the decision was made last minute.
3. December Installs Are Perfect for Homeowners Who Skip the Hassle
Climbing ladders, checking dead bulbs, securing wires, and working in cold weather isn’t fun — and it’s definitely not safe for everyone. That’s why December installs are often booked by homeowners who want the magic of Christmas lights without the stress.
With a professional installation from Baker Softwash:
-
You don’t climb anything.
-
You don’t untangle anything.
-
You don’t troubleshoot anything.
-
You don’t take anything down in January.
We handle it all so you stay warm and comfortable inside.
4. Commercial-Grade Lights Still Look Fresh and Bright All Season
Even if your lights go up later in the month, you’re still getting high-quality LED lighting that performs perfectly through wind, rain, and cold weather. Our commercial-grade lights stay bright and crisp through the entire holiday season.
They won’t dim, flicker, or fail halfway through Christmas week. So yes — even a mid-December installation still gives you a professional, long-lasting display.
5. You’ll Start Next Year Ahead of the Game
Here’s a bonus: many homeowners who book last-minute installations end up pre-booking for next year. Once you see how easy and beautiful your lighting can be, you’ll never want to go through another holiday season without it.
Plus, pre-booking gives you:
-
priority scheduling
-
early design choices
-
the best pricing for next year
A December install today becomes a stress-free tradition next year.
