About Crestline Holiday Lighting | Our Story

The Story Behind Crestline Holiday Lighting

We started Crestline because we wanted the holidays to feel like a season to enjoy, not a project to manage.

🎄 Expert Installation Insured crews install cleanly and safely, from rooflines to trees.

Built to Make Your Holidays Easier, Not Busier

Crestline Holiday Lighting is a holiday lighting company based in San Marcos, founded by Hunter Elenbaas. We believe the holidays should be about joy, not ladders, storage bins, and tangled strands, so we handle the entire process for you: design, installation, maintenance, takedown, and storage.

Crestline started with a simple idea: homeowners shouldn't have to spend a weekend untangling last year's lights, climbing a ladder in the cold, or hunting for a burnt out bulb halfway through December. We wanted to build a service that made the holidays feel effortless from the first strand to the last box in storage.

Every season we grow our trained installation crew to keep pace with demand, while holding every customer to the same professional, careful standard, on schedule, every time.

We Store It

After the holidays, we take everything down and store it, ready to reinstall next year.

The price we quote you is the price you pay. No surprise fees after the crew shows up.
