Step-by-Step: How We Wrap Columns and Railings
From your first personalized consultation to the end, flawless results, our process is designed around your vision for a safe, beautiful, and long-lasting display. Every detail gets our personal attention—whether you’re envisioning classic elegance, bold color, or something completely unique, we bring it to life with care and precision every step of the way.
Column Wrapping
- We use top-quality, commercial-grade 5mm LED mini light strands—your choice of color.
- Power first: We determine the smoothest path to power (from the top via gutter/roof, or the bottom via porch/outlet), using safe, professional jumpers and hiding all connections.
- Neat, safe wrapping: Each strand is wrapped with precise tension—in tight spirals (1–2" apart for a full look, or 3–4" for a subtle effect), and with each connector sealed against moisture.
- Pattern options: Classic spiral (most common), X-pattern (crisscrossed for drama), or vertical alignment for square posts.
- Attachment: UV-rated zip ties, color-matched to your strand, or removable hot glue—never damaging your columns or finishes.
- Cords and connectors: Always concealed—behind columns, under porches, or at the base. Female connections are weather-sealed.
- Tailored for every surface: Wood, composite, stone, vinyl—all handled with the correct gentleness and method.
- Always built for WNY: Secure against wind, freeze, and shoveled snow; no strand slipping or sagging.
Railing Wrapping
- Every inch covered: Lights wound between balusters, handrail, posts, and lower rails for consistent, attractive coverage.
- Choose your density: Light touch, moderate wrap, or packed with lights—just ask, or let us recommend for your railing.
- Swag or spiral: Elegant draping “swag” patterns or a true spiral wrap, to match your taste or coordinate with columns.
- Invisible security: Zip ties hidden under rails and matched for color; all power runs stashed out of sight and safe from feet and weather.
- Safe for any railing: Wood, metal, vinyl, composite—you’ll never find residue, scars, or leftover hardware after takedown.
Extra: Durable Garland & Custom Lighting Add-Ons
- Commercial PVC or PE garlands: Weather-tough, denser and lusher than anything at big box stores; built for years of WNY use.
- Pre-lit or custom-lit: Select classic pre-lit warm white, or have us lace in colored LED mini lights for any theme (traditional, all red/green, candy cane, your team colors—you name it).
- Expertly installed: Garland is secured snugly with color-matched ties or gentle fasteners, never damaging your porch or posts.
- Lasting beauty: All garlands and lights are UV-resistant and meant to retain their look season after season.

F&Q for Column & Railing Wrapping | Hearth & Halo
How much does it cost to wrap columns and railings with holiday lights?
We price every job based on the number and size of your columns and railings, the patterns you want, and any extras like garland. Most projects are more affordable than people expect, and we’re always upfront—just call or contact us for a quick, local quote.
How long does professional column and railing wrapping take?
Most homes in Erie and Niagara County are finished in just a few hours. Larger porches or unique layouts might take us a bit longer, but our team works efficiently to get you decorated with minimal disruption.
What type of lights are best for wrapping columns and railings outdoors?
We use commercial-grade, weatherproof LED mini lights because they’re the safest, brightest, and longest-lasting—perfect for our WNY winters. If you have a color preference or want a certain look, we’re happy to talk options during your estimate.
Can I leave the lights on my columns and railings all winter?
Absolutely! Our lights and installation methods are made for Western New York’s tough winters. We recommend leaving them up for the whole holiday season, and when you’re ready, we’ll come back for safe removal and storage.
Do I need outdoor outlets for column and railing lighting?
Outdoor outlets make things easier, but we’ve worked on plenty of homes where power needed to come from inside or a garage. We’ll look at your setup and find the safest, cleanest solution for your home.
