When do you remove Christmas lights after the holidays?

Quick Answer

Lights Over Atlanta begins removing seasonal displays shortly after the New Year, with takedowns happening across the first two to three weeks of January. Routes are planned by geographic area to keep service efficient for every neighborhood we serve, so the exact day your lights come down depends on where your property sits along our path. Removal and off-season storage are always included in your installation with no extra steps or fees on your end.

Detailed Answer

Christmas light installation comes with zero post-holiday hassle when you work with Lights Over Atlanta. Safe takedown is automatically built into every project, so you do not have to call, climb a ladder, or schedule anything once the season ends.

Our crews begin removals shortly after New Year’s Day and work through the full route across the first two to three weeks of January. Routes are planned by neighborhood and area, so your specific takedown date depends on where your property sits along our path. That structure helps us move efficiently across Metro Atlanta and keeps the whole process predictable.

After removal, we store your lights, wreaths, and garlands in our warehouse so next year’s reinstall is even faster. This service is already part of your proposal, with no surprise fees for takedown or storage.

Choosing an Atlanta outdoor lighting company that handles end-to-end care protects your roof, landscaping, and schedule: no icy ladders, no tangled cords.
