About

Hi, my name is Bret Matthews. Owner and operator of Matthews Holiday Lighting. Specializing in Govee outdoor permanent lights and any other holiday Lighting needs you may have. I saw the need for a reasonably priced holiday light installer who doesn’t cut corners, shows up on time, delivers quality work, and treats customers with respect. Those who use my services call me the Govee Guy! I started Matthews Holiday Lighting so homeowners can enjoy safe, stress-free holidays without climbing ladders or worrying about tangled lights. My small team and I focus on Holiday Lighting Installation and Removal, including temporary, permanent, and Govee holiday light setups. If you’re ready to make your home shine this season without the hassle, we’d be happy to help.

We are so very happy we found Bret with Matthews Holiday Lighting. My wife purchased Govee Permanent Lights last Christmas, and I struggled to find an installer for months. I didn't want just any Joe Schmo with a ladder. I wanted someone who had an appreciation for the art of this type of lighting. Bret was our guy. Not only did he deliver an excellent install at the perfect price point, his advice (which even came before we officially booked with him) was critical in making sure it was done right -- from going with the Pro instead of the Elite (so we could add to it later), as well as the placement away from the house. Bottom line, we found our guy, and loved the work he did.

He did a great job on our lights! He was fast, effective, and communication was great. He took the time to make sure we understood the plan beforehand and the controls after. Do not hesitate to hire!
