Christmas Light Installation in Levittown, NY

Christmas light installation in Levittown, NY

Levittown is not like the other towns here, and there is no point pretending otherwise. The original Cape Cod and ranch homes built between 1947 and 1951 off streets like Hicksville Road, Gardiners Avenue, and Jerusalem Avenue were designed to look alike, and on a lot of blocks they still do: same setback, same roof shape, same one-and-a-half stories repeated block after block. That sameness changes how a light display reads here.

What Levittown rooflines are actually like

Most original Levittown homes are Cape Cods or ranches with a single low-pitched gable and a short, unbroken eave line, simpler than the multi-dormer homes a few towns over. The roofline isn’t as uniform as it looks from the street though: many original Capes had an unfinished second floor, and owners later added a dormer or a full second-story pop-top, which changes the roof profile and the usable roofline on that house. On a block where every original house shares the same footprint, a straight, evenly spaced eave line reads as sharp precisely because nothing else on the roof distracts from it, and any gap or crooked run is just as obvious for the same reason.

• The original sections off Hicksville Road and Gardiners Avenue: unmodified one-story Capes with short, simple eaves.
• Streets with second-story pop-top additions: a taller roofline than the original model next door.
• Curved streets and cul-de-sacs throughout the community: easy truck access, since the layout was built for cars from the start.
• Corner lots near Jerusalem Avenue and Newbridge Road: more roofline exposed to two streets instead of one.

Getting to Levittown

Levittown is about 8 miles from our Amityville base, usually the Southern State Parkway to the Wantagh State Parkway and then a short hop north. It’s one of the closer towns we serve, so a Levittown job often pairs with Hicksville or Farmingdale the same day. Call 631-517-0186 if you want to compare install dates with a neighbor’s.

Nearby towns we light

Levittown borders these towns, and we run all of them:

• Hicksville, a dense hub built around one of the busiest LIRR stations on the Island
• Seaford, a South Shore hamlet near the Wantagh Parkway and Jones Beach approach
• Farmingdale, an incorporated village with a real Main Street surrounded by post-war neighborhoods
• Westbury, a village that mixes an older downtown near Post Avenue with newer development close to the Meadowbrook and Northern State corridors
• Garden City, a planned village of large Tudor and Colonial homes on wide, tree-lined streets

Levittown lighting questions

Is my display just going to look like everyone else’s on the block?

Not if we plan it right, and it’s a fair question here more than almost anywhere else. When every house on the block shares the same footprint and roofline, the details do the work: where the line breaks at the corners, whether the color matches your trim or contrasts with it, whether you light the walk and shrubs or just the roof. We use the sameness on purpose, since a clean, well-placed line stands out precisely because the houses around it are identical.

We added a dormer a few years ago. Does that change what you quote compared to the original Cape shape?

Yes. A pop-top or dormer addition adds real roofline and often a second, higher roof plane the original one-story Cape didn’t have, so the house has more linear footage to light than before the addition. We measure the roof as it stands today, not the original floor plan, so the quote reflects your actual house.

Our roof is low and pretty simple. Does that make the job faster?

Generally yes. A single-story Cape or ranch with one continuous low-pitched gable is one of the more straightforward rooflines we work on, since there’s less ladder height and fewer transitions than a multi-dormer or two-story home. That doesn’t mean every Levittown quote is identical though. Additions, detached garages, and how much shrub or walkway lighting you add all still factor in.
