Storefronts in downtown Missoula and Hamilton and HOA entrances in Miller Creek and Grant Creek get commercial-grade LED displays with season-long service, installed by a licensed and insured construction crew that carries its own liability coverage.
A business display has different demands than a house. The lights need to be up before Black Friday traffic and running every night through New Year's without a gap, and the company on the ladder needs to carry real insurance before it touches your building. Montana Lights is the holiday division of Constructive Brothers, a licensed and insured Missoula construction company, so our crews already hold the liability coverage and fall protection training that commercial property managers ask for. We install C9 LED rooflines on storefronts in downtown Missoula and downtown Hamilton, and we light HOA monument signs and entrance fences in neighborhoods like Miller Creek and Grant Creek.
Commercial jobs also raise questions a homeowner never has to think about. A storefront display usually shares exterior circuits with signage and parking lot outlets that are already carrying a load, so we map amperage before install day and split runs across circuits rather than trusting a single 15-amp breaker. Parapet walls and standing-seam metal roofs each take a different clip, and we have installed on both. You get a written quote with a fixed seasonal price and our 48-Hour Repair Promise for any outage from install through takedown. If your building needs a lift, we bring one. Design visits are free anywhere from Missoula to Hamilton.
Single storefronts in downtown Missoula or Hamilton typically run $1,200 to $4,000 for a first season, with total roofline footage and lift access being the main cost drivers; multi-building and HOA projects are quoted after a site walk.
Send your address and what you have in mind. We reply with a price, usually the same day. Most homes: $700 to $2,500 for the full season.

Constructive Brothers is insured as a working construction company, and we provide a certificate of insurance on request before anyone sets a ladder against your building. That matters to landlords and to HOA boards whose bylaws require proof from outside contractors, and it is something few seasonal operations can offer.
Commercial jobs booked by October 31 fall under the same Lit by Thanksgiving Guarantee as our homes, which puts your display up before Black Friday and the downtown holiday events that follow it. We schedule commercial installs early in the season on purpose so a snowstorm in November does not push you into December.
Before install we check every exterior outlet for GFCI protection and add up the amperage each run will draw, including any signage already on the circuit. Runs are split so no breaker is loaded past 80 percent, and every circuit gets its own photocell timer so the whole building comes on together at dusk.
Your quote covers design, materials, installation, 48-hour repairs, January takedown and storage in a single number, so there is nothing to budget for after the display goes up. Storefronts commonly run $1,200 to $4,000 and larger office or HOA projects are quoted from the site visit.
We walk the property with you and photograph the building, noting every exterior outlet and its circuit. For multi-tenant buildings we confirm with the owner which outlets are available. You receive a written quote within a day.
We send a marked-up photo showing where the C9 roofline and any wrapped trees will go, with bulb color noted. Many businesses choose warm white for storefronts and add a single accent color for the entry.
We schedule installs before opening or after close when foot traffic is light, and we cone off sidewalks while ladders or a lift are in use. Most storefronts are finished in a single visit.
Any outage is repaired within 48 hours at no charge for the full season. In January we remove everything on a scheduled date and store the strands cut to your building. The following season is quoted at the lower returning rate.
