What West Bloomfield does to your roofline
Several gables per house
A lot of West Bloomfield homes from the 1970s and 1980s have a main roof, a garage roof and one or more front gables at different heights. Each one is a separate run of lights with its own start and finish, and each break means more time on the ladder.
Lake houses with two fronts
Homes on Cass Lake, Upper Straits and the smaller lakes have a back roofline that faces the water and stays in view from across the ice all winter. For a lot of owners that side matters as much as the street side. We light either one or both.
Freezing rain on a big roof
December's risk here is freezing rain. In the 2013 ice storm the week before Christmas, limbs and whole trees came down around the region and hundreds of thousands of households lost power, the National Weather Service reported. A large roof is no place to be in that, so we hang lights in the fall.

Why it happens in West Bloomfield
Big houses, several gables and a lake out back
West Bloomfield is the highest-value large market we serve, with a median home value of $426,200. The median build year is 1980, and the 1970s and 1980s together account for 45 percent of the housing, by Census Bureau estimates.
That means big two-story rooflines with a main roof, a garage roof and more than one gable, and on the lakes, a back elevation facing the water. There's a lot of edge to light and a lot of it is high.
How we handle it in West Bloomfield
- We provide the lights for the whole house.
- Long front eaves and several gables hung in clean, even lines.
- Lake-facing elevations quoted with the rest of the house.
- Booked in the fall, installed before the snow.
- Taken down in January.

Questions
Christmas lights questions from West Bloomfield homeowners
Will Christmas light installation reach the water side of my West Bloomfield house?
Yes. If your house sits on Cass Lake, Upper Straits or one of the other lakes, we can light the elevation that faces the water as well as the street side. Flag it in your quote request so we can plan the ladder setup for that side of the lot.
What sets the price of Christmas light installation in West Bloomfield?
The house does. We add up the eaves you'd like lit, count the gables and check the height and pitch of each. Larger homes with several breaks in the roof take more time, and lake-facing sides add to it. Your quote covers lights, labor and the January takedown.
When do West Bloomfield Christmas lights come down?
January. It's included, so nothing else needs scheduling and nobody has to remember to call. After the holidays we strip the lights off each roofline, which on a big house is the part nobody wants to do in the cold.
How early should West Bloomfield homeowners book Christmas lights?
September or October. Bigger houses take longer, and dry days get harder to find as November goes on. An early booking puts your install ahead of the snow and leaves time to plan any lake-side work before the ground freezes.
Can I pick the color for my West Bloomfield Christmas light installation?
Yes. You choose the look, whether that's warm white along every eave, crisp white, a single color or a mix. We provide the lights to match. Our gallery is full of real installs, so point to one when you write in.
The detail
Christmas lights in West Bloomfield, explained
Bigger homes, higher rooflines
West Bloomfield has 20,918 owner-occupied homes, and three in four of its housing units are detached houses. A lot of the value is in size: two stories, a large garage and a roofline with several breaks. Those are good-looking houses to light and hard ones to reach.
What's included, and what you skip
Christmas light installation from Glass Guru covers three things: lights, labor, and taking it all down in January. You don't buy strands, sort through boxes or climb to a second-story gable. You tell us the rooflines and the color, and we take it from there.
Book early in the season
Call in September or October. Bigger houses take longer to hang, and November is when the window narrows: Detroit Metro's November normals are a 33.9-degree low and 1.9 inches of snow. Booking early gets you a dry-roof install.
Orchard Lake Village, Keego Harbor and Sylvan Lake border the township and are separate cities. If your address is in one of them, say so when you write to us.
