Christmas Light Installation in Copiague Harbor, NY

Christmas & Holiday Lighting in Copiague Harbor

Ask anyone in Copiague Harbor for directions and they'll point you to Tanner Park or Copiague Harbor's canal grid. Copiague Harbor is the waterfront end of Copiague — a planned canal neighborhood where nearly every house has a bulkhead and a boat, and the whole area was rebuilt or raised after Sandy. The homes run to waterfront Colonials and contemporaries on the canals, raised post-Sandy rebuilds off Bayview Avenue, and larger bay-front homes at the ends of the canals between Oak Neck Lane and Bayview Avenue, and that range is exactly why a one-size display doesn't work here.

Here's what we've learned lighting Copiague Harbor: almost every home here has two fronts — street and canal — and the canal side is what the neighborhood sees from their docks, so we plan both. Canal homes have two weather fronts: the street side that's sheltered and the water side that isn't, and a display has to be planned for the second one. So we seal every connection on the canal side, use corrosion-resistant clips, and plan the rear roofline as a second front.
