When it comes to hanging Christmas lights from your home, one of the best places to consider is your gutter system. Typically made from sturdy metal and running the full extent of your roof horizontally, gutters are ideal for hanging lights in a horizontal layout from one side of your home to the other. These lights will often be exceptionally visible even from far away, and they will make your home look absolutely magical.

The most common and cheapest way to hang lights from your gutters is the use of various ribbons made from plastic or fabric. Although there are some risks with some materials – as it is best to avoid, for instance, flammable materials such as cotton – many of the available options are relatively safe.

A better option is to use plastic clips or special gutter hooks designed for hanging lights. Most lights are available with long wires or cables that can easily be attached or detached from these hooks, and they won’t easily be removed by the wind or other natural elements.

Many Highlands Ranch roofing companies agree that the best possible option is to hang gutter hooks at regular intervals and then simply hang the lights on top. The process is easy to manage, and you don’t even have to climb on top of your roof to get it done.
