Christmas light installation in Silver Spring, MD
A Silver Spring address can mean a 1940s house near Four Corners or a 1980s townhouse in Colesville. The age of the house shapes the roofline you are lighting, so that is where we start rather than with the lights.
Lighting homes in Silver Spring
Holiday light installation in Silver Spring, Montgomery County
Nearly four in five homes in 20901 were built before 1970. Most Silver Spring roofs we would be lighting have been replaced at least once, and some several times.
The inner neighborhoods are the older ones. Woodside Park was laid out in 1923, Four Corners grew from the late 1930s, and houses in Forest Glen’s Forest Estates started going up in 1947. If your house has a porch roof or a later addition at a different height from the main roof, that gives you choices. A porch edge is often the easiest line to light well, and the main eave above it can be lit or left dark.
On a house that has been reroofed more than once, the flashing at the chimney and walls is often the oldest thing up there, and older decking can be soft underfoot. That does not stop us lighting the house. It does mean we watch where we step, keep weight off anything that feels wrong, and tell you plainly if we see something that needs a roofer.
Further out the picture changes. In 20904, which covers Colesville and Fairland, the 1980s were the biggest building decade, and 20906 has more than 5,500 townhouses. On a townhouse the roofline is shared with the units on either side, so it is worth agreeing with the neighbors where the lights stop before they go up.
Housing figures are from published census data for ZIPs 20901, 20904, 20906 and 20910.

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.”

Silver Spring Christmas light installation questions
My mail says Silver Spring but I live in Colesville or Kemp Mill. Do you come out?
Yes. Silver Spring mail covers seven ZIPs, from Woodside Park and Four Corners out to Colesville, Fairland, Wheaton and Aspen Hill, and we cover all of them. The neighborhood tells us roughly how old the house is, which helps us plan the roofline before we arrive.
Our 1940s house has had several roofs. Does that change anything for lights?
It changes how we work on it more than what we can light. Older chimney flashing and decking that has been covered rather than replaced are common on houses that age. We look before we climb, keep off anything that seems soft, and will tell you if the roof itself needs attention.
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.
