Christmas light installation in Glen Burnie, MD
Harundale was the first suburban development in the area, built in the early 1950s as ranchers and Cape Cods on small lots. Those two house shapes take lights very differently, and most Glen Burnie streets have both.
Lighting homes in Glen Burnie
Holiday light installation in Glen Burnie, Anne Arundel County
About 45% of the homes in Glen Burnie’s two ZIPs went up between 1940 and 1979, and the 1950s were the busiest decade. The display starts with the shape of a post-war roof.
Harundale went up on both sides of Ritchie Highway as two- and three-bedroom ranchers and Cape Cods on lots of a quarter acre or less. The rancher is the easy one. Its roof is simple and its eave runs long and low across the front, so a single clean line of lights does most of the work. On a small lot, a lit eave and a lit walkway are often all a house needs.
The Cape Cod is steeper, and its dormers break up the front of the roof. That gives you a choice: outline each dormer and the main eave, or keep to the eave and the gable ends and let the dormers sit dark. Either can look right. What changes is the time spent on a steeper pitch, and that is work for someone used to standing on one.
About one home in five in 21060 is attached, and a little under that in 21061. On a townhouse row the roof is usually low-slope and the roofline is shared with the houses on either side. Before the lights go along the front, it is worth checking with the neighbors so the display does not stop halfway along the row.
Housing figures are from published census data for ZIPs 21060 and 21061.

Why a roofer
Five ways holiday lights damage a roof
Most of the damage from Christmas lights is not visible until spring. These are the things we see on roofs after the decorations come down.
We are a roofing company first. If something looks wrong after the season, we can inspect the roof for free and photograph what we find.

“It’s been great working with Dmitry and Bravo roofing for several years now. They did a full tear off and replace of my flat roof back in 2019. I had a leak last year and Dmitry came out to inspect. He found that an old roof antenna had fallen off and punctured it.”

Glen Burnie Christmas light installation questions
I have a Cape Cod in Harundale. Can you light the dormers?
Usually, yes. Dormers add corners and short runs, and the main roof on a Cape Cod is steeper than a rancher’s, so it takes more care to reach them. We look at the house first and tell you which lines will read well from the street, and which are better left dark.
Do you cover Ferndale and the Pasadena side of 21060?
Yes. Ferndale shares the 21061 ZIP with Glen Burnie, and about a third of 21060 is Pasadena. All of it is Anne Arundel County. If your mail says 21060 or 21061, we cover you, from the Ritchie Highway corridor to the edge of Pasadena.
How much does Christmas light installation cost?
It depends on how many feet of roofline and gutter are being lit, how high and steep the roof is, and what else is on the plan, such as trees, windows or a walkway. We look at the house first and give you the price in writing, so you are comparing a real number rather than a per-foot estimate that grows on the day.
Will hanging Christmas lights damage my roof?
It should not, and as a roofing company it is the part we care most about. Nothing should be fastened through your shingles, and nobody should be leaning a ladder on your gutters. If you want to know exactly how your roofline will be attached, ask us before the install and we will walk you through it.
What does the maintenance part cover?
If a strand or a section of your display stops working during the season, call us on (410) 977-4411 and we will arrange a visit to put it right. The details for your house are confirmed in your written quote.
Are you licensed and insured to work on my roof?
Yes. Bravo Roofing is a licensed Maryland home improvement contractor, MHIC #114601, carrying $1,000,000 in liability coverage plus workers compensation. The same people who replace roofs across Baltimore are the ones on yours.
When should I book holiday light installation?
Earlier is better. Installation dates fill as the season gets closer, so calling in the fall gives you the widest choice of dates. Call (410) 977-4411 for the current schedule.
