Inside the Gates
A Country Club roofline is not a standard Christmas light installation.
Homes in The Country Club run from roughly 1,600 to 5,700 square feet, and almost none of them are simple. Barrel tile, deep soffit returns, two story entry features, mature oaks shading the front elevation and long curved drives that hold the house back from the street. A lighting plan that works on a flat suburban fascia tends to look thin on an elevation like that.
Keagan is based in Lakewood Ranch and works these streets. He measures the actual runs, reads how the house is going to be seen from the road and from the cart path, and quotes a number in writing before anything goes up. No pressure and no charge for the visit.
Two Ways to Light the House
Seasonal Christmas light installation, or every night of the year.
Seasonal Christmas Light Installation
The traditional installation, put up for the holidays and taken down after, on schedule and without leaving a mark on the house.
- Roofline, gutter and ridge lighting
- Oak, palm, entryway and landscape lighting
- Custom color patterns for your style or your theme
- Scheduled post season takedown and storage
- Safe ladder practice, property protection, clean job sites
Permanent Smart LED Architectural Lighting
A permanent system that disappears into the architecture in daylight and defines it after dark. Holidays, game days, parties, or a warm accent wash the rest of the year.
- App control from iPhone and Android
- Alexa and Google Home voice control
- Individually addressable RGB for custom colors and effects
- IP67 waterproof and UV resistant housings for Florida weather
- Saved scenes you switch without touching a ladder
- Clean, secure attachment to soffit, fascia or trim
A good number of Country Club homeowners start with a seasonal install and move to the permanent system the following year, once they have seen the house lit and decided they want it available year round. Both are detailed on the main Lakewood Ranch LED lighting page, and on his own site under exterior upgrades.
What Working Here Involves
Christmas light installation inside the gates: access, guidelines and a tidy job site.
Through the Gate
Every entrance to The Country Club is gated and staffed. Keagan handles his own gate clearance and arrives in the window you were given, because a crew sitting at a call box is not the impression anyone wants to make on your street.
Designs That Pass
Neighborhood guidelines here are real, and they vary by enclave. Designs get built to sit right with them, and the permanent system is specified so it reads as trim detail in daylight rather than as equipment on the house.
Tile and Mature Trees
Barrel tile does not take the clips a shingle roof takes, and a sixty year old live oak over the drive is not something you throw a ladder against. Attachment methods are chosen for the house, not for speed.
Service Area
Lakewood Ranch Country Club and the ranch around it.
Keagan handles Christmas light installation throughout Lakewood Ranch and the surrounding Manatee and Sarasota county communities, with The Country Club as his home ground.

Common Questions
Before you call.
How late in the season can I still book?
Call and ask. The calendar fills from the first week of November forward and the Country Club streets book heavily because neighbors see the work and call the same week. If the roofline schedule is full, tree and entry lighting can often still be fitted in.
Do you take the Christmas lights down?
Yes, and it is scheduled when the installation is scheduled rather than left for you to chase in January. Removal and storage are part of the seasonal package.
Will anything damage my barrel tile?
No. Tile is clipped and routed differently than shingle, and that is worked out on the walk through before a number is given. Nothing is screwed, nailed or adhered to tile.
Is the permanent system visible during the day?
It is specified to read as a trim line rather than as fixtures. Housings are selected to match the fascia or soffit color and the run follows the architecture. From the street in daylight most people do not pick it out.
What about my HOA or the architectural guidelines?
Guidelines vary by enclave inside The Country Club, so the right answer is to check yours before the install rather than after. Keagan will tell you what he is proposing in writing so you have something to submit if your enclave requires it.
Who do I call if something is wrong?
Keagan first, at the number below. If you are not satisfied with how it is handled, Jeff Earl answers directly at 656-233-7089. That is the whole point of the family companies standing behind the division.
Do you work outside the Country Club gates?
Yes. Keagan covers Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton and Sarasota generally. The Country Club simply gets its own page because it is where he lives and where most of his calls come from.
