Commercial Christmas/HOAs & managers
HOAs & property managers · Austin, TX
HOA Christmas Lights in Austin, entrances, boulevards and amenity centers, board-ready.
A proposal your board can approve in one meeting, an install residents notice for the right reasons, and the same look every year. For one community or every one you manage.
What managers tell us
What an association needs from a Christmas lighting vendor
Boards want a clean decision. Residents want it to look the same as last year, only better.
A board-ready packet
Night rendering, line-item scope, dates, certificate of insurance and W-9 in one document. Three bids are easier to compare when one of them is complete.
Consistency year to year
Lights are leased and stored by us, labeled by location. Year two starts with a phone call, not a redesign, and multi-year agreements lock the look and the price.
Many communities, one contact
Association managers often handle a dozen entrances. One proposal with a line per community, one install calendar, one invoice.
For communities
Christmas light installation for HOAs and managed communities
The entrance is the community's front door. Most boards start there.
Entrances, monuments & signs
Entry monuments, gates, guardhouses and signage. The piece every resident drives through nightly.
Tree wrapping & canopy
Boulevard and median trees wrapped trunk and limb, the upgrade residents notice most.
Roofline & architecture
Clubhouse and amenity center rooflines in warm white C9.
Wreaths, garland & bows
Lit wreaths and garland on monuments, clubhouse doors and light poles.
Large-scale displays
A community tree by the clubhouse or an entry arch for the neighborhood lighting night.
In-season service
Timers, outages and storm damage handled all season, so resident complaints never reach the board.
Materials are not just roofline bulbs: C9 and C7 LED, mini lights for wrapping, net lights, lit garland and wreaths, bistro strands, RGB and permanent track. All commercial grade, all chosen for Texas sun and wind.
Scale
From a single gated entrance to a 9,000-home community
Master-planned and active-adult communities can have several entrances, miles of boulevard and multiple amenity centers. We walk them all on one route, propose by zone, and phase the install so every entrance is lit before the community's lighting night.
Smaller associations get the same packet and the same standard, scaled to one monument and a few trees.
Safety
Safe commercial Christmas light installation, for your people and ours
Residents walking dogs, school buses, golf carts and a lift at the entry median. Our community safety plan is built around traffic that never stops.
Insured before we arrive
Certificate of insurance and W-9 with every proposal. Your risk manager can see coverage before anyone sets foot on site.
Lifts and fall protection
Boom lifts, harnesses and ladder protocols for roofline and canopy work. No one freelances on a parapet.
From the plug out
We work from the outlet out: GFCI-protected circuits, commercial-grade cords and timers, nothing overloaded. Need a new circuit? We connect you with a licensed electrician or walk your own electrician through the plan.
Clear walkways
No cords across sidewalks, ADA routes or fire lanes. Cords secured and covered; cones and tape around active work.
Around your hours
Early morning, after hours and weekend installs so work zones never meet your busiest hours.
One safety plan
Every crew on your property, Sapien's own or a partner crew we supervise, works to the same plan and the same standard.
How it works
How commercial Christmas lighting works, from call to lit
Site walk
We measure the roofline, count trees and locate power. You tell us the budget range and the date it needs to be lit.
Proposal and rendering
Night rendering, line-item scope and schedule, with the certificate of insurance and W-9 attached.
Install
Early morning, after hours or weekends. Phased across buildings if you prefer. Lit and tested before we leave.
Service
Timers, outages and storm damage handled. You get a direct line, not a ticket queue.
Takedown and storage
Everything comes down, gets labeled and stored. Next year starts with a phone call.
