Multicolor C9 Christmas Lights on a West Des Moines Two-Story

C9 lights are one of the most requested looks we get asked about - and it's easy to see why. That bold, oversized bulb with a full multicolor spread just hits differently at night. It's the kind of look that reads from down the street and gives a home that warm, classic holiday feel without being overdone.

This two-story West Des Moines home is a great example of how the right light placement makes all the difference. We ran the C9 string along both the upper and lower rooflines, following every peak and angle of the facade. The result is a clean, continuous line of color that frames the whole front of the house - no sagging, no gaps, no messy clips showing through.

Two-story homes can be tricky. Getting consistent spacing and clean lines on upper peaks requires the right equipment and a little patience. When it's done right though, the symmetry really shows - especially at night when the lights are the main thing drawing your eye.

What we love about the multicolor C9 look is that it works on almost any home style. It's festive without being over the top, and it holds up well through the whole season. No tangled strings on the ground, no guessing whether the lights will even turn on - we handle all of that so you don't have to.

Holiday lighting should feel exciting, not like a weekend project you're dreading. That's exactly why we started offering this service - to take the ladder-climbing and the headache out of it entirely. West Des Moines homeowners have enough going on during the holidays.
