General Questions

What areas does GLS Lighting serve?

GLS Lighting is based in Piscataway, NJ and serves homeowners across Middlesex, Somerset, Union, Essex, Mercer, and Monmouth counties, including Piscataway, South Plainfield, Middlesex, Warren, Hillsborough, Bridgewater, Green Brook, Woodbridge, and Edison.

What is GLS Lighting?

GLS Lighting is the lighting division of Griguoli Landscaping Services, an established local landscaping company with a real 5.0 Google rating. We install permanent architectural lighting and holiday lighting for homes throughout our New Jersey service area.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes. Every job starts with a free, on-site quote. We walk your property, look at your roofline and the features you’d want lit, and talk through what permanent lighting, holiday lighting, or both would actually look like and cost on your specific house.

How is GLS Lighting different from a national lighting franchise?

We’re a local crew, not a call center routing your request to whoever is available that week. When you call, you’re talking to people who live and work in this part of New Jersey, backed by a landscaping company that’s already built a real reputation in this area.

Permanent Lighting

What is permanent architectural lighting?

Permanent lighting is a low-voltage LED system mounted along your roofline, eaves, soffits, or other trim. It’s a one-time install that stays in place year-round rather than something put up and taken down each season.

How do I control a permanent lighting system?

Most systems are controlled from an app or a wall switch. You can run a single warm-white tone every night for everyday curb appeal, or switch to a different color scheme for a holiday, a game day, or any other occasion.

Does permanent lighting hold up through New Jersey winters?

Yes. Permanent lighting systems are built to stay mounted year-round, including through ice, snow, and the temperature swings New Jersey winters bring.

Can permanent lighting be used for more than just the holidays?

Yes. Because the color and schedule are controlled from an app or switch, the same system can mark a holiday, a birthday, a team’s playoff run, or just run a steady warm white the rest of the year.

Holiday Lighting

What does your holiday lighting service include?

We design the layout, install string lighting on your roofline, trees, shrubs, or walkways before the season, and professionally take it down afterward. You get the display without climbing a ladder or storing bins of lights yourself.

Do you take the lights down after the season, or is that on me?

We handle the takedown. Professional removal after the season is part of the service, not an extra step you’re responsible for.

How far in advance should I schedule holiday lighting?

The earlier the better, since installs are scheduled around your timeline and the calendar fills up as the season approaches. Request your free quote early to make sure your install date lands when you want it.

Installation & Scheduling

What happens during the on-site quote visit?

Someone from GLS Lighting walks your property, looks at the roofline and the features you want lit, and talks through whether permanent lighting, holiday lighting, or both makes sense for your home and budget. There’s no pressure to decide on the spot.

How long does installation take?

Timelines depend on the size and complexity of the job. We’ll give you a clear timeframe during your on-site quote once we’ve actually seen the property, rather than guessing over the phone.

Pricing & Quotes

How much does permanent or holiday lighting cost?

Cost depends on the size of your home, the length of roofline or trim involved, and which service you choose. Permanent lighting usually costs more upfront than a seasonal package since it’s a one-time install, while holiday lighting is a smaller cost each season. We give exact pricing only after seeing the property at your free on-site quote, not as a guess over the phone.

How do I request a quote?

Call us directly at (732) 801-6403 or request a free quote through the website. We’ll set up a time to walk your property and give you a straightforward answer on what permanent lighting, holiday lighting, or both would look like on your home.
