Every December, Burnaby transforms into a dazzling city of light and celebration. From family homes to bustling commercial districts, Christmas lights brighten up long winter nights and create magical atmospheres for residents and visitors alike. But behind every perfectly lit roofline, twinkling tree, and glowing storefront is a team that brings it all together with careful planning and expert execution.

At Burnaby Landscape Lighting Starcrest, we don’t just hang lights—we design, engineer, and execute entire holiday experiences. Our process ensures that every project, no matter the size, is safe, durable, and breathtaking. In this behind-the-scenes guide, we’ll show you how our team takes Christmas lighting projects in Burnaby from vision to reality.

Step 1: Initial Consultation

The first step is always a consultation. Every property in Burnaby is different, and every client has unique goals. Some want a cozy, elegant glow for their family home, while others need large-scale commercial installations to attract customers.

What We Cover During Consultation

Your Vision – Minimalist elegance, bold color displays, or themed designs.
Property Layout – Examining architecture, landscaping, and electrical access.
Budget & Timeline – Matching your goals with practical solutions.
Safety Considerations – Planning for Burnaby’s wet winters and challenging rooflines.

This stage sets the foundation for a custom-tailored project that suits your property perfectly.

Step 2: Creative Design

Once we understand your goals, our designers create a custom Christmas lighting design.

What Goes Into the Design

Rooflines – Outlines that highlight the shape of your home or business.
Windows & Doors – Framed lighting that adds balance and symmetry.
Trees & Shrubs – Wrapped with LEDs for depth and vibrance.
Pathways & Driveways – Safe, welcoming entrances for guests.
Oversized Features – Lighted reindeer, ornaments, or Christmas trees as focal points.
Brand Integration (for businesses) – Using colors, logos, or patterns that reflect brand identity.

Our team provides mockups and suggestions so you can visualize how your Burnaby property will shine during the holidays.

Step 3: Selecting the Right Products

The key to lasting holiday displays in Burnaby is using commercial-grade lighting products built for wet, windy winters.

Starcrest Product Standards

LED Lights – Energy-efficient, cool to the touch, and vivid in color.
Weatherproof Fixtures – Durable against rain and wind.
Secure Clips & Anchors – Avoiding damage to roofs or siding.
Custom Cords & Connections – Built for your property layout.
Smart Controls – Optional systems for scheduling or music-syncing.

Unlike cheap store-bought lights, our equipment is designed to perform reliably all season.

Step 4: Professional Installation

This is where the magic happens. Our licensed, insured team installs lights with precision, safety, and efficiency.

Our Installation Process

Safety First – Crews use proper ladders, harnesses, and equipment.
Property Protection – No nails or staples that could damage your home or business.
Clean Lines – Sharp, symmetrical roofline outlines.

Testing – Every strand is checked before, during, and after installation.

The result? A flawless holiday display that looks professional from every angle.

Step 5: Ongoing Maintenance

Even the best lighting displays may need adjustments—whether from a storm or a rare bulb failure. Starcrest provides full-season maintenance to keep your display shining bright.

Maintenance Includes:

Replacing burnt-out bulbs.
Repairing damaged cords or connectors.
Adjusting lights if shifting occurs in heavy winds.
Emergency response for urgent issues.

Our team is only a call away, ensuring your Burnaby property never loses its holiday glow.

Step 6: Takedown and Storage

When the season ends, Starcrest handles the takedown process with the same care as installation.

Safe Removal – Protecting your property while removing all fixtures.
Organized Storage – Packing lights securely to prevent tangling or damage.
Optional Starcrest Storage – Keeping your lights safe until next year.
