Frequently asked questions.
Straight answers about coverage, pricing, and how a season with Coastline Lights actually works. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, call or email us directly.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Orange County and Los Angeles County.
What does installation cost?
Every home is different, so every home gets its own quote. Tell us about yours and we’ll take it from there.
Do you handle removal?
Yes. Removal is included in the installation price, not billed separately — and we store your materials between seasons, so there is nothing for you to manage or find space for.
What does the lighting look like?
Warm white C9 bulbs at 15-inch spacing — clean lines, classic glow.
Are you insured?
Yes. Coastline Lights is bonded and insured, with coverage in place before anyone sets foot on your property.
Who does the installation?
Our crew of four installers handles every job, with subcontracted crews brought in for larger properties or overflow demand.
What happens if a bulb goes out or the weather causes a problem partway through the season?
That is covered. In-season maintenance is included at no extra cost, so outages, weather issues and timer problems are ours to handle for the rest of the season.
When should I request installation if this is my first season with you?
Whenever you decide you want lights this year. The earlier you reach out, the more flexibility you will have with scheduling — crew time in a seasonal business is limited, and dates fill as the season approaches.
Do I need to be home during the installation?
No. We handle the entire install, start to finish — if you are out for the day, the lights are simply up when you get home.
Do you offer anything besides residential Christmas lights?
Yes — we also install bistro and string lighting for patios and outdoor spaces, and we take on commercial lighting work for HOAs, shopping centers, municipal clients and other commercial properties.
Do I have to rebook every year?
No. Most of our customers return each season, and we handle the rescheduling — each August we reach out to arrange your preferred install day and time.
