Christmas Light Installation in Bay Shore, NY

Christmas & Holiday Lighting in Bay Shore

Ask anyone in Bay Shore for directions and they'll point you to the Bay Shore Marina and Fire Island ferries or the Bay Shore LIRR station. Bay Shore is the biggest downtown on Islip's bay shore — a rebuilt Main Street, the Fire Island ferry terminal, and older residential streets running from the station down to the marina. The homes run to Victorians and Colonials on the older streets near Main Street, bay-front and canal homes south of Montauk Highway, and 1950s Capes and ranches in the northern grid around Bay Shore LIRR station, and that range is exactly why a one-size display doesn't work here.

With nothing between the house and the bay, wind loads on the water-facing eaves are real, and salt air gets into every unsealed plug. That's the weather half of the job. The Bay Shore half: the Victorians south of Main Street have porches, turrets, and bracketed eaves that outline beautifully — clip-only, no fasteners. Water-facing eaves get sealed, commercial-grade strands and wind-rated clips; the street side gets the same product so the display ages evenly.
