Christmas Light Installation in Southold, NY

Christmas & Holiday Lighting in Southold

Ask anyone in Southold for directions and they'll point you to the Southold Historical Society's Main Road complex or Founders Landing. Southold is the North Fork's oldest settlement and its town seat — a Main Road of historic homes, Founders Landing on the bay, and side streets of modest year-round houses. The homes run to 17th- through 19th-century homes on the historic Main Road blocks, bay-front homes on Southold Bay and Town Creek, and 1960s and '70s ranches and Capes on the side streets around Founders Landing, and that range is exactly why a one-size display doesn't work here.

Here's what we've learned lighting Southold: historic Main Road homes get clip-only installation. Bay wind is steady rather than gusty, which is worse for lights — it works a loose clip all night, every night, until something lets go. So sealed strands, corrosion-resistant clips, and wind-rated attachment on the bay side; matching product on the street side so it all ages the same.
