Christmas Light Installation in Pilot Point, TX
Firefighter-owned since 1998. Bill South designs your display, his crew installs it, and everything comes down and goes into our storage after the season.
Do you install in Pilot Point?
Pilot Point, 76258, is our home base. Bill started South Custom Lighting here in 1998 and our building is in town, so local jobs get the fastest turnaround we offer.
What Pilot Point houses need
Pilot Point is home. Bill has lived and worked here since he started the company in 1998, and our storage building is here, which means a mid-season fix in Pilot Point is a short drive rather than a scheduled trip.
We work the Historic Downtown, Mustang Ridge and the ranch properties north of town areas, and we know the drive between them. Around Pilot Point Square and Ray Roberts Lake, the routes are tight enough that a mid-season fix is a short trip rather than a rescheduled day.
Every Pilot Point install starts the same way: Bill walks the property, counts the peaks and dormers, and cuts each strand to fit. No stretched runs to reach an outlet, no dark gaps at the corners, no sagging clip lines by the second week of December.
What we are working with in Pilot Point
Pilot Point runs from small-town homes near the square out to ranch property with outbuildings, fence line, and entry gates that are often worth lighting alongside the house. Lot sizes vary more here than in any subdivision market we work, so quotes vary more too.
How Pilot Point jobs actually run
This is home. The storage building is in town, which changes the practical math: a mid-season fix in Pilot Point is a short drive rather than a scheduled trip, and takedown gets handled without the display travelling far. Bill has lived and worked here since he started the company in 1998.
We have actually been here
on our books
Nine Pilot Point properties are on our books, which is a lot for a town this size and unsurprising for the town the company is based in. One of them is a job we do at no charge for a local preacher. Bill has been working these streets since 1998 and the storage building is here, so a Pilot Point call gets the fastest turnaround we offer anywhere.
What every Pilot Point job includes
- Commercial-grade lights, supplied and maintained by us
- Design walkthrough before anything goes up
- Insured professional install
- Free fixes all season long
- Takedown after the season
- Off-season storage at our facility
This is an all-inclusive service: we supply, maintain, and store the lights. That is what lets us guarantee the fix, and it is why we do not install customer-owned strands.Here is the honest reason why.

The Pilot Point neighborhoods we work
Around the historic downtown the houses are older and more compact, and a modest, well-executed display suits them better than volume.
Mustang Ridge and the newer sections are conventional subdivision work, quick and efficient for us.
North of town the ranch properties are the interesting ones. Gates, fence runs and outbuildings all take light, and lighting them changes how the whole place reads from the road.
Not on this list? We cover 76258 and the streets around them. Call (972) 658-0780 and ask.
Pricing for a Pilot Point house
Pilot Point covers more ground per job than any subdivision market. A place in town with a compact front is one thing; a property out on acreage with outbuildings, a fence run and an entry gate is another, and the price follows what is actually there rather than the address.
Ranch properties in particular have lighting opportunities a subdivision lot does not. A lit fence line or a lit gate does as much for the look of a place as the house does, and neither is expensive relative to what it adds.
As everywhere, the minimum still applies. It is rarely the binding constraint on a Pilot Point property.
The three bands are the same everywhere we work: $1,000 to $1,500 for a roofline, $1,500 to $2,500 once trees and beds come in, and $2,500 and up for a full property. Our minimum job is $1,000. See how pricing works →
When to call if you are in Pilot Point
This is home, so Pilot Point gets scheduling flexibility we cannot offer anywhere else. The building is in town, which means we are not planning a trip to get here.
In practice that shows up most in December. A mid-season fix in Pilot Point is usually same-week and often same-day, because somebody is already nearby.
It also means late bookings are more workable here than in the outlying towns. If you call in November and we can fit you, we will.

Pilot Point questions
How much does Christmas light installation cost in Pilot Point?
Most Pilot Point homes land between $1,000 and $2,500, depending on roofline length, how many trees you want wrapped, and how much of the property gets lit. Bill walks the property and gives you the number before anything goes up.
Do you install in Pilot Point, or only nearby?
Yes. Pilot Point is an active market for us, and we install across 76258.
Is takedown included on a Pilot Point job, or billed separately?
Included. Every Pilot Point job covers takedown after the season and storage at our building in Pilot Point until next year. It is inside the price you approve up front and never invoiced later.
What happens if a section goes dark in December?
Call Bill. We come back out to Pilot Point and fix it at no charge. That is the whole policy, and it is the reason we supply the lights rather than hanging yours.
Do you need to come out before you can quote my Pilot Point house?
Yes, and it takes about twenty minutes. Bill counts the peaks and dormers, looks at the trees and the power, and gives you the number from that. A quote given without seeing the house is a guess, and guesses get revised after the crew arrives.
How far ahead should I book in Pilot Point?
As early as you can. Dates go in the order they are booked, and calling early still gives you the most say in your install date.
Do you charge extra to come out to Pilot Point?
No. There is no separate trip charge for Pilot Point. The drive is inside the number you approve, and it does not change if you need us back mid-season.
Which Pilot Point neighborhoods do you work in?
Historic Downtown, Mustang Ridge and the ranch properties north of town, plus the streets around them. If you are not sure whether we reach your address, call and ask.
