Gates Mills is a small village of white clapboard, stone, and hunt-country estates along the Chagrin River, fifteen minutes from our base. December here is understated: warm white on the porch and roofline, greenery at the door, nothing that competes with the house. Gates Mills is about 15 minutes from our base, so service calls usually land the next day.

How We Light Gates Mills Homes

Gates Mills homes range from century colonials near the Village center to large estates on acreage. On the older homes we design in sections so each roofline break reads cleanly and use the porch as the anchor; on the estates we plan the run for the view from the drive. Everything clips to the gutter or shingle edge without screws or staples.

Where We Install in Gates Mills

  • The Village center
  • Sugar Bush Colony

Gates Mills has architectural review for exterior changes. A seasonal C9 install attaches nothing to the structure and comes down in January; we send an insurance certificate on request.

What It Costs

$1,000 season minimum. Every home is quoted individually.

Terms run 2, 3, or 5 seasons. The per-season price steps down on the longer terms, and every season's price is written into the agreement. A 50% deposit holds your date; the balance is due at install.

Takedowns happen in January, weather permitting. If anything goes out during the season, text a photo, hear back the same day, and anything that's our fault is fixed within 48–72 hours, weather permitting, at no charge. How the season lease works · What it costs. Neighbors who book together share an install day; refer one and get $50.

What We Put in Writing

Eight things that are in the agreement, not just on the website.

  1. $1,000 Season Minimum

    Every home is quoted individually, and no home is quoted under $1,000 a season. You know the floor before we come out.

  2. Every Season's Price, Written In

    The per-season price steps down on a 3- or 5-season term, and the number for every season of your term is on page one of the agreement. Nothing to renegotiate in year two.

  3. A Two-Hour Install Window, Texted the Night Before

    You don't need to be home. We need the front of the house and one outdoor outlet.

  4. A Same-Day Reply to a Texted Photo

    Text a photo of what you see. You hear back the same day, from Levi, not a form.

  5. Fixed Within 48–72 Hours

    Anything that's our fault is fixed at no charge for as long as the lights are up, within 48–72 hours, weather permitting.

  6. Thirty Days' Notice Ends It. No Fee.

    Before your next install date, one text ends the agreement. We text before any renewal charge.

  7. A Photo of Your House Lit, the Night of Install

    So you see it the way your street sees it, even if you're not home.

  8. Labeled, Climate-Controlled Storage

    Your set is tagged with your address and stored in our unit, not a garage. Nothing ends up in yours.

Gates Mills Questions

Does village architectural review apply to seasonal lights?

Seasonal C9s clip to the gutter lip or shingle edge without screws or staples, so nothing is attached to the structure, and everything comes down in January. We'll send a certificate of insurance to anyone who asks.

Do you light estates on acreage?

Yes. We design for the view from the drive and the road, and we'll tell you at the site walk which sections carry.

What look fits Gates Mills?

Warm white on the roofline and porch. It suits the clapboard and stone, and it's included in every quote.
