About
Hi my name is Bret Matthews. After working for a landscape company for 4 years I saw the need for a reasonable priced Christmas Light installer who doesn’t cut corners, shows up on time, does great quality work, and has great customer service. Holidays are already stressful as it is. I created Matthews Holiday Lighting so homeowners can have safe and stress-free holidays.
We specialize in all temporary, permanent, and govee holiday light installation.

Bret was a top tier professional. He was responsive and extremely fair on the price. His installation was careful and he went above and beyond to ensure the lighting ended up looking symmetrical and that the wires were well hidden. I will be recommending him to ANYONE who wants permanent lights on their house. So impressed.
