Christmas Light Installation in Huntington, NY

Christmas light installation in Huntington, NY

Huntington runs from the shops on Main Street and New York Avenue down to the docks at Huntington Harbor, and the housing follows that same line: tight colonials and Victorians close to the village, bigger capes and colonials as the streets climb toward West Hills. That mix is why a Huntington estimate depends on which side of town you are on.

What Huntington rooflines are actually like

Near the village, older colonials and Victorians sit close to the sidewalk with steep porch roofs, dormers, and original trim that has been repainted many times but rarely replaced outright. Roads climb and dip on the way toward West Hills, so ladder setups and truck staging shift from block to block, sometimes house to house. Along the water in Huntington Bay and Halesite, homes face open wind and salt spray that older inland streets never see. Mature oak cover in the older sections changes both the tree wrapping and how much daylight actually reaches the roofline before the crew even starts.

• Huntington Village, around Main Street and New York Avenue: pre-war colonials and Victorians with steep porch roofs close to the street
• Huntington Bay and Halesite, along the harbor: waterfront exposure to wind and salt air
• West Hills: wooded, hilly lots with longer driveways and heavy oak cover
• Streets near Heckscher Park: capes and colonials with dormers, mixed lot sizes

Getting to Huntington

Huntington is about 14 miles from our Amityville base, generally straight up Route 110 to the village and the harbor. We already run crews through Melville and Dix Hills on that same corridor, so Huntington usually joins that same route. Call 631-517-0186 or request a quote to see what week is open.

Nearby towns we light

We also install in the towns around Huntington, and crews frequently move between them in the same week.

• Northport, the older harbor village a few miles northeast
• East Northport, the post-war grid inland of the harbor
• Dix Hills, bigger lots and longer driveways to the south
• Melville, newer homes along the Route 110 corridor
• Commack, mixed housing ages along Jericho Turnpike

Huntington lighting questions

Our house is one of the older ones near the village, close to Main Street. Will the install damage the trim or siding?

No. On older trim near the village we clip lights to the gutter line and fascia instead of driving anything into the wood or shingles. Homes close to Main Street and New York Avenue often have thinner, more brittle trim than newer construction, so the crew checks it by hand before choosing anchor points. If a section is too fragile for a clip, we run the line along the roofline instead of the porch edge, and nothing gets stapled or screwed into original woodwork.

Our street runs downhill toward the harbor and the driveway is short. Where does the crew set up?

Usually at the curb, not the driveway. On the hillier streets near Huntington Harbor and Halesite, where driveways are short or steep, the crew parks along the road and carries ladders and lights in rather than staging everything in the driveway. We scout this during the estimate, not on install day, so there are no surprises when the truck shows up. It adds a few minutes of setup but does not change the price.

We’re right on Huntington Bay. Does the salt air change what lights you use?

Yes, in the hardware more than the bulbs. On waterfront blocks along Huntington Bay, clips and fasteners corrode faster than they do a few streets inland, so the crew uses corrosion-resistant hardware on any home within sight of the water. Wind matters just as much as salt: harbor-facing roofs get extra clips at the corners so a gust off the bay does not pull a line loose.
