Takedown & storage
Christmas Light Removal & Storage in Calgary
No one wants faded lights still clinging to the eaves in March. We take everything down safely after the season and store your set until next year — included with every FestiveLights install, and available on its own if you hung your own this year.
Takedown is part of the deal
When you book a FestiveLights installation, removal and storage are already included in your flat seasonal price. After the holidays we return on a scheduled date, carefully remove every clip, strand and stake, and store your custom-cut set so it's ready to reinstall next year — often faster the second time around because the design is already mapped to your home.
Hung your own this year? We'll still take them down.
Plenty of Calgary homeowners put their own lights up in a burst of December enthusiasm and then dread the January ladder trip in the cold. If that's you, we offer standalone removal: our insured crew takes your lights down safely, coils them properly so they're not a tangled mess next year, and can box them for you. It's the easiest way to get them down without risking an icy ladder yourself.
Why a professional takedown matters
- Safety first — January roofs in Calgary are icy and unforgiving. Winter ladder falls are exactly the risk our WCB-covered, insured crews are trained and equipped for.
- No damage — lights frozen to a gutter or shingle can tear fascia or pull clips if yanked. We remove them properly, without harming your roofline.
- Tidy storage — strands coiled and labelled (not stuffed in a tote) last longer and save hours of untangling next season.
- Off your to-do list — you don't have to think about it. We schedule it, we show up, it's done.
Storage that saves you space and hassle. With our full-service installs we store your lights for you, so your garage stays clear and there's nothing to dig out next November. Ask about adding storage to a standalone takedown.
When do you take lights down?
Most Calgary homeowners like their lights up through the new year and removed in January once the holidays wind down — though we'll work to your preference. We schedule takedowns through January and into February, weather permitting. Booking your removal date early means you're not waiting in the post-holiday rush.
