Christmas light installation in San Clemente, CA
San Clemente is about an hour from our Temecula warehouse over the Ortega Highway or down the 5, and it is the southern anchor of our Orange County routes. Crews cover Talega, Forster Ranch, Marblehead, Rancho San Clemente, Shorecliffs, the Riviera District in Southwest San Clemente, the Pier Bowl, and the original Spanish Colonial blocks around Avenida Del Mar.
The city's signature is Spanish Colonial Revival: white stucco, red clay barrel tile, arched entries, and wrought iron. Warm-white C9s along the tile edge and over the arches are exactly right for that architecture. Tile clips tuck under the barrel tile with no drilling, and we custom-cut every run so the line finishes clean at each corner and the peaks come to a point.
Talega, Forster Ranch, and Marblehead are newer master-planned neighborhoods with two-story stucco homes, stacked gables, and strong associations. Down the hill, Shorecliffs and the Riviera District are older, closer to the water, and more varied, with view lots that drop toward the ocean. We map each home on satellite before the call and plan the lines that read from the street and the view.
Sea breeze on the hillside is constant in December, and salt air travels well up the slope. Every San Clemente install uses sealed-socket commercial C9 cord and coastal-rated clips, and because CaliClaus owns the lights, anything that wears is replaced at no cost. Talega and the other associations allow seasonal roofline lighting inside a mid-November-to-mid-January window; tell us your dates when you book.
How it works
Three steps. One phone call.
No site visit, no waiting a week for a bid. Our holiday light installers measure your roof from satellite imagery while you are on the phone.
02
We custom-cut your lights
Every strand is cut to your eaves and peaks, so the bulbs turn the corners cleanly and there is no dead tail hanging off the end. Cords are hidden. Clips, not nails.
03
Lit before Thanksgiving
Our crew installs in one visit, sets the timer, and texts you a photo that night. The balance is charged after install, never before.
Ready to light your San Clemente home?

What's included
One quote. Nothing extra.
You lease the lights for the season. Professional Christmas light installers handle everything on either side of it.
- Commercial-grade C9 LED lights. Warm white, faceted bulbs, the kind you see on hotels and wineries. Not the box-store strings.
- Custom cut to your roofline. Measured, cut, and capped for your house. Corners line up. No sagging, no gaps.
- Timer, set and forgotten. On at dusk, off at your bedtime. You never touch a switch.
- Free service all season. A bulb out or a section dark after a storm: message us, fixed within 48 hours, no charge.
- January takedown. We come back and take it all down without a reminder from you.
- We store them. Your set lives in our warehouse under your name. No boxes in your garage.

Local questions
San Clemente questions we hear on the phone
Can you clip lights to red clay barrel tile without damaging it?
Yes. Tile clips slide under the barrel tile and hold the cord without lifting, drilling, or adhesive. We photograph the roofline before and after so the tile is exactly as we found it.
Will the ocean wind on a San Clemente hillside be a problem?
Not for clipped commercial cord. Every bulb is clipped, the run is cut to length so nothing flaps, and the sockets are sealed against salt air. If a strong gust does knock a section loose, free service all season puts it back within 48 hours.
Do you serve Talega and the other gated neighborhoods?
Yes. Talega, Forster Ranch, Marblehead, and Rancho San Clemente are all on our route. Add us to the gate list for install day and the January takedown, and tell us the association's decoration window when you book.
