Holiday Takedown and Storage in Franklin Lakes, NJ

What is holiday takedown and storage in Franklin Lakes, NJ?

Holiday Takedown and Storage is part of the holiday & event lighting we install on Franklin Lakes properties. Takedown removes the seasonal system after the holidays and stores it labeled by the elevation it came off, so the same lengths return to the same runs the following season.

Why does it matter on a Franklin Lakes property?

Franklin Lakes sits in Bergen County, and this is a town of large houses set against woodland, so the elevation is lit against darkness rather than against neighboring light.

The same property usually brings a second constraint with it: long driveway approaches through tree cover, where the drive itself is the first thing that has to read from the road.

These are Bergen County estate roads where houses sit deep on wooded lots, so passing traffic reads a wash against a dark tree line rather than a row of doors.

How do we install holiday takedown and storage in Franklin Lakes?

Storage bins are opaque and sealed, as a clear tote left in an attic subjects the leads to a season of UV that shortens their life next year.

Takedown starts at the highest elevation and works downward, so a dropped strand does not land on a run still fastened to a lower gutter.

Strands are stored dry and loosely coiled, because a tight coil left damp is what cracks insulation and kills a section over the summer.

Each run is coiled and labeled with the elevation and the run it came from, so next season's install matches without a fresh survey.

Clips and fasteners come off with the strands rather than being left on the gutter to weather through the rest of the year.

What does a bad install look like?

Rooftop staples left in place through summer for a faster install next season. Rust bleeds down the shingles by spring, and the staple heads pop through the roofing granules.
