About Newmarket Christmas Lights

A direct booking line for one vetted, insured holiday lighting installer working across Newmarket, Aurora and East Gwillimbury.

Newmarket Christmas Lights is a booking line, not a lighting company, and it does not claim to be one. It exists so that a Newmarket homeowner, condominium board or Main Street South business that wants seasonal lights or permanent lighting reaches one vetted, insured local installer directly, without filling in several forms and taking calls from strangers.

In practice the work is done by a holiday lighting installer who carries liability insurance, works to Ontario's fall protection rules, uses certified, outdoor-rated lights on GFCI-protected outlets as the Electrical Safety Authority advises, hangs seasonal lights on clips rather than nails or staples, quotes in writing after seeing the house, and stays accountable for the job through January's takedown. Your details are not sold or passed around.

The site keeps to its lane: seasonal Christmas light installation, permanent eave lighting, tree and landscape lighting, takedown and storage, and commercial holiday displays. New outlets and circuits are electrical work that only a Licensed Electrical Contractor may do for pay. Fixtures in public view inside the Lower Main Street South Heritage Conservation District are discussed with the Town first.

The local facts on these pages were checked against the sources they cite: Environment Canada's climate normals for the King Smoke Tree station, the Town of Newmarket's Heritage Conservation District Plan, parade notice and Riverwalk Commons page, Newmarket-Tay Power's licensed area and the Ontario Energy Board's price plans, York Region's depot information, and the Electrical Safety Authority's guidance. Where something is someone else's decision, such as a heritage permit or a condominium board's approval, the site says so instead of guessing.

Some jobs are declined: trees with power lines through them, roofs that cannot be worked safely from a ladder, and fixtures on common elements or heritage facades without the required approval.

How this works

When you call 289-513-5438 or send the form, your details go straight to the holiday lighting installer covering Newmarket, not to a list or a call centre. Calls go to voicemail when the crew is up a ladder, which in November is most of the day, and your message and number reach them at once by text and email. Expect a call back the same day or the next working day. The next step is usually a short visit or a request for photos of the front of the house; the written quote follows, listing the rooflines, trees and features included, whether lights are supplied, and how takedown works.

What we won't do

• Publish reviews we didn't earn. When we have them, they'll be real ones with names.
• Quote a firm price before someone has seen the job.
• Send anyone into your property who we would not have in our own.
