There’s something inherently magical about warm, glowing holiday lights. The impact is immediate, casting a stunning ambience across homes, streets, and neighborhoods. One of the most stress-free (and safest) ways to bring that elevated holiday spirit to your home is by hiring professionals for installation and take-down. This season, Shelter Guard Roofing & Gutters is providing this spectacle-creating service; unlike other companies offering to do so, they have all the insurance policies in place to maximize Christmas cheer up on your rooftops, worry-free. 

Shelter Guard Roofing & Gutters is owned and operated by James Scuka, a U.S. Army veteran, with an unwavering dedication to the Chamblee Community. For this particular service, James offers his prospective clients a lookbook of their past holiday projects to peruse, and his team can even accommodate more custom installations if desired.

The most-requested classic look involves warm white lights along the peaks of homes and accompanying gutters. Want an extra flourish? They recommend adding on mini bulbs scattered amongst the bushes. James and his team have the chops to do your home justice; in previous years, they were in charge of lighting Brookhaven’s 70-foot Christmas tree! Oftentimes, the team tackles Homeowners Association neighborhood projects as well, but their holiday season bread and butter is residential home lighting, and their design formula provides eye-catching results. 

Three years ago, after over twenty-two years in the roofing business, James took the plunge taking on holiday lighting. That first year, he placed signs along the roads of neighborhoods he’d previously serviced, and the phone rang off the hook almost immediately. It’s a perfect pocket of time to take on these types of design projects, as most homeowners hold off on major home improvement projects during the holiday season.

Shelter Guard’s gutter cleaning services are another special component, as there’s “only a handful of established companies offering gutter cleaning here in Atlanta,” James explains. As a roofing company, it’s been a natural addition to include gutter services and holiday lights, and it’s a joy to see the finished products. This year, Shelter Guard Roofing & Gutters is offering free gutter cleaning with holiday light installations! 

For those interested in hanging their own holiday lights across the roof? “Don’t do it,” James warns. “Most people just don’t have the proper equipment to do it safely. Just stick to putting lights on the bushes and wrapping tree trunks,” he says. The dangers of a fall are truly not worth the risk. Instead, hire professionals you can trust, with a proven track record.

It’s vital to James that his company continues to contribute to the community, from helping folks navigate insurance claims to all their top-notch home services. A father of two, James has been an active member of the Chamblee community for over seven years, and he’s in it for the long haul.
