Christmas Light Installation in Frenchtown, Montana

Frenchtown is about 20 minutes west of Missoula on I-90, so it usually fits into a regular install day, with Huson and Nine Mile homes grouped onto the same trip when there are several.

Frenchtown is twenty minutes west of Missoula on I-90, and it has grown into a mix of newer subdivisions near the school and older ranch properties along Mill Creek and the Clark Fork. Montana Lights serves both. We are owned and operated by Constructive Brothers, a licensed and insured Missoula construction company, and we run holiday lighting as a full-service job: commercial-grade LED strands cut to your roofline, mini lights for trees and shrubs, lit wreaths and garland if you want them, a free design visit up front, maintenance through the season, and takedown and storage in January. You do not buy or store anything yourself, and you never climb.

The subdivisions off Frenchtown Frontage Road and around the high school have a lot of two-story homes on modest lots with steep metal or architectural shingle roofs, and neighbors tend to light up together, which makes a well-done roofline stand out even more. Out on the ranch roads toward Huson and up Mill Creek, the story is different: driveways run a few hundred yards and the house sits back under cottonwoods, so the road view is mostly fence and gate. For those we put the effort where it shows, usually a bright C9 roofline and one or two wrapped trees at the driveway entrance. Inversion fog settles in this part of the valley and hides weak light, so we spec bright bulbs.

Frenchtown is close enough to Missoula that we can usually fit it into a regular install day, though we group it with Huson and the Nine Mile area when there are several homes out that way. Most homes run $700 to $2,500 for a first season and less in returning seasons, since your strands are cut once and stored with us. Book by October 31 and the Lit by Thanksgiving Guarantee applies. The 48-Hour Repair Promise handles anything that fails. Call (406) 207-2524 for a free design visit.

Local Knowledge

Lighting Homes in Frenchtown: What We Plan For

Long driveways and gates

On the ranch properties west of town the first thing anyone sees is the gate, not the house. Wrapping the gate posts or the nearest pair of trees with mini lights and running a C9 line along a short stretch of fence gives visitors a lit entrance and makes the driveway easy to find in the dark.

Subdivision rooflines

The newer subdivisions around Frenchtown have a lot of similar two-story homes close together, and a roofline that is cut to the house rather than draped from a box is what separates yours from the neighbor's. We measure each gable and eave and cut the C9 strand to length, then clip it so the line is straight from the street.

Fog on the Frenchtown flats

The flats between Frenchtown and the Clark Fork hold inversion fog for days at a time in December, and dim lights disappear into it. We use commercial-grade C9 bulbs with real output and space them evenly, so the roofline still reads from the frontage road on a gray afternoon when the sun never breaks through.

FAQs

Frenchtown Questions

Do you cover Huson and Nine Mile past Frenchtown?
Yes. Frenchtown is the hub, and we take on homes out toward Huson and up the Nine Mile road when they can be grouped with other installs on the same day. The farther out you are, the more it helps to book early so we can build a route around you. Driveways need to be passable for a truck and trailer, and we ask about that during the free design visit.
Is permanent holiday lighting an option for a Frenchtown home?
Yes. Permanent holiday lighting is a low-profile LED system mounted under the eave that stays up year round, so there is no install or takedown each season. It suits Frenchtown homes with long, simple rooflines and owners who want lights for more than December. It costs more up front than a seasonal install, and we will walk you through both options on the free design visit.
What is included in the price for a Frenchtown install?
Everything from the first visit to the last strand coming down. That means the commercial-grade LED lights themselves, a design visit and written quote, installation by an insured crew, all-season maintenance under the 48-Hour Repair Promise, takedown in January, and storage at our shop until next year. There is no separate charge for the lights and no equipment left at your house. Most Frenchtown homes fall between $900 and $2,500 the first season.
