Silicon Valley Lights was built on the belief that every lighting project, from a backyard birthday dinner to a roofline permanent install, deserves the same level of professional execution.
We design the concept, bring the equipment, install everything professionally, and manage the process end to end. You do not handle anything.
No two installs are identical. Every project starts with a consultation where we build a lighting plan around your exact space, vision, and goals.
Every install is completed by a licensed, insured professional team using installation methods that protect your roofline, gutters, and property.
We use outdoor-rated commercial lighting equipment designed for weeks or years of continuous operation, not the big-box store variety.
For Christmas installs, we offer in-season maintenance visits and full January takedown. For permanent systems, we provide post-install service support.
San Jose, Palo Alto, Saratoga, Los Gatos, Los Altos, Menlo Park, San Francisco, and 15+ more Bay Area cities. We are local and we know this market.

Every detail was thoughtfully executed, and the atmosphere he created made our day feel so special.”

FAQ
Not sure where to start? We have answered the questions most clients ask before booking their first consultation.
Silicon Valley Lights is a professional outdoor lighting contractor serving the San Francisco Bay Area. We design, install, and manage event lighting, Christmas and holiday lighting, permanent year-round outdoor lighting, and Govee smart roofline installations for homes, estates, venues, and commercial properties.
We serve the entire San Francisco Bay Area, including the South Bay, Peninsula, San Francisco, and North Bay. That covers 20+ cities such as San Jose, Palo Alto, Saratoga, Los Gatos, Los Altos, Menlo Park, Atherton, San Francisco, San Mateo, Marin County, and more.
Most Silicon Valley Lights projects start at $800 and scale based on the size of the home, linear footage, and design complexity. Pricing includes design, commercial-grade materials, professional installation, in-season maintenance, and full takedown and storage.
Our minimum project size is $800. This minimum applies across event, Christmas, and permanent lighting installations, and it ensures every job receives the same commercial-grade materials, custom design, professional crew, and dedicated scheduling that define our work.
Yes. Permanent lighting installations carry a 3-year warranty on the lights and a 3-year warranty on our installation craftsmanship. Govee smart roofline installations using the PermTrack PVC channel carry a lifetime warranty on the channel system itself.
We are a local Bay Area team that handles every project directly without franchising, subcontracting, or rental equipment. Every install is custom designed, built with commercial-grade outdoor-rated materials, and supported end-to-end from consultation through takedown or long-term service.
Yes. We install using methods that do not damage gutters, shingles, or fascia, including gutter clips, fascia-safe clips, and the PermTrack PVC channel for permanent Govee systems. Every crew is licensed and insured and uses professional aerial equipment such as cherry pickers rather than unsafe ladder work at height.
Yes. A 50% deposit secures your booking, with the remaining balance due upon completion of the installation. This locks in your install date during our busy event and holiday seasons.
PermTrack is a rigid PVC channel system from a partner manufacturer that we install on Govee permanent smart roofline projects. It fully conceals the wiring, holds the LED strip in a perfectly straight line along the fascia, and is paintable and color-matchable to your trim for a clean architectural finish.
Our Govee installations with the PermTrack channel produce a comparable architectural finish to Trimlight and Gemstone at a more accessible price point. The main advantage is local service, since you work directly with our Bay Area team rather than through a franchise or national third-party channel.
Yes. Every Christmas lighting package includes full takedown and storage in January, plus in-season maintenance visits if anything needs adjustment during the holidays. You do not need to handle anything after the initial install.
We recommend booking Christmas installations by early fall, ideally between August and October. Installation schedules for the Bay Area fill up quickly, and booking early guarantees your preferred install window and takedown date.
Yes. We design and install custom event lighting for weddings, corporate events, private parties, restaurants, and venues throughout the Bay Area. Packages include warm-white bistro and market strings, uplighting, tree wash lighting, and full takedown after the event.
Yes, for our Govee permanent roofline systems. You get full app and voice control, millions of colors, scheduling, holiday presets, and per-node animations built in to the system out of the box.
