Christmas Light Installers in Carmel
We're the Gilchrests: Mike, Anne and our two sons. For ten seasons we've hung lights for our neighbors, fixed them when they go out, and taken them down in January.
What We Hang For You
Lights, installation, service calls and takedown are always included.
It Started With Our Own House
In 2016 Mike lit our house in Carmel and three neighbors asked if he'd do theirs. Ten seasons later it's the whole family's job: Mike runs the crews, Anne answers the phone and books every install, and our sons are on the ladders every weekend in November. We keep it small on purpose, so you always know who's coming to your house.
- ✓Family owned and run
- ✓The same crew every year

From Our Neighbors
Mike and his son did our house for the fourth year in a row. They remember exactly how we like it, warm white on the roof, colors on the maple for the kids. Booked by text in five minutes.
You can tell it's a family business. Anne answered the phone, Mike came out to look, and the crew cleaned up every clip bag before they left. Our street now has three Gilchrest houses.
A wire got chewed by a squirrel a week before Christmas. They came out on a Sunday afternoon and fixed it, no charge. That's why we keep calling them.
