The Royal City has the heritage housing to prove it.
New Westminster has the best collection of character homes in the Lower Mainland. Lighting them properly is specialist work — and it is what we do.
Putting up your own lights in a New Westminster December is a cold, soaking, genuinely risky way to lose a weekend.
You drag the tangled box out of the garage and half the strand is dead. Now you are on a ladder against wet, mossy eaves in steady rain, fingers numb, with the light gone by half past four.
Hours later it is… fine. A little crooked over the garage. And after the first outflow wind pulls a run loose, you get to climb back up and do it again.
There's a better way — and homeowners across the Lower Mainland have already found it.
Imagine doing absolutely nothing — and having the best lights on the street.
Whether you are in Queen's Park, up in Glenbrooke North, in Sapperton, or down by the Quay — you never see a ladder.

New Westminster was the capital of British Columbia, and Queen Victoria named it herself.
Chosen as the colonial capital in 1859 and named by the Queen, New Westminster lost the title to Victoria a decade later but kept the architecture that came with it.
Queen's Park is now one of the largest concentrations of intact heritage housing in western Canada — Queen Anne, Edwardian and Craftsman homes on deep lots under mature trees.
Turrets, bargeboard and wraparound porches are what make these houses worth lighting, and exactly what makes them unsafe to do yourself.
We light every street in New Westminster.
We are not a national chain parachuting in with a truck of generic strands. Elevated Holiday Lights is locally owned and operated, working across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley:
Built for a New Westminster winter.
Sitting on a slope above the Fraser, New Westminster gets river fog on top of well over a metre of rain a year. Heritage houses with deep eaves and intricate trim hold that damp longer than modern construction.
- Roughly 1,200–1,700 mm of rain a year: sealed, weather-rated connections instead of the open sockets that corrode by December
- Fraser Valley outflow winds: low-profile, properly anchored installs rated to hold when the Arctic outflow comes down the valley
- Freeze–thaw and wet snow: hardware that tolerates repeated freezing and the weight of wet coastal snow on a loaded run
- Constant coastal damp and moss: commercial-grade housings built for air that never really dries out between November and March
Not a franchise. Not a truck full of generic strands.
Commercial-grade, not retail
Professional LEDs, connectors and mounting rated for Pacific Northwest rain and Fraser Valley outflow — not the big-box strands that fail by mid-December.
Four packages, one standard
Classic, Professional, Premier and Legacy Glow differ in scope, never in workmanship. The smallest job gets the same crew and the same finish.
Heritage specialists
Queen Anne turrets, bargeboard and original trim need damage-free mounting and a design built to the architecture rather than over it.
Locally owned and operated
Elevated Holiday Lights is a Lower Mainland business with local crews, not a seasonal franchise working out of a van for eight weeks.
Takedown and storage included
We remove everything in January, leave the property clean, and store your materials until next season. You never handle a strand.
Tall, steep and complicated
Three-storey heritage elevations and steep original roofs are ordinary work for our crews — trained, insured and properly equipped.
One local team for every kind of light.
Classic Glow
Clean, warm roofline lighting done properly — designed, installed, maintained through the season and taken down in January. The straightforward option, done to a professional standard.

Professional Glow

How much does holiday lighting cost in New Westminster, BC?
Every property is different — a Queen's Park heritage home with three storeys of detail is a very different job from a Quayside townhouse. We give you a clear, fixed quote up front. Start with the form or call (778) 200-7476.
Can you light a heritage home without damaging it?
Yes — it is a large part of what we do in New Westminster. Damage-free mounting on original trim and eaves, never staples, with everything removed cleanly in January.
Which Glow package suits New Westminster?
Classic Glow covers clean roofline lighting. Professional Glow adds trees, entrances and landscape features designed as one scheme. Premier and Legacy Glow are our fullest custom packages. We will recommend one after seeing the property — there is no pressure to take the largest.
What if a light goes out mid-season?
It is our problem, not yours. Contact us and we will put it right — season-long service is included, not an extra.
Do you take the lights down too?
Yes — takedown is included in every package. We remove everything in January, leave the property clean, and store your materials until next season.
Are you insured?
Yes. Elevated Holiday Lights is fully insured and WorkSafeBC covered, and our crews are trained for ladder and roof work so you never have to be.
