Hanging Christmas Lights On Roofs (Without Gutters)
The holiday season is the perfect time to make your home shine, but hanging Christmas lights can be tricky, especially if you don’t have gutters. With the right clips and some safety precautions, you can decorate your roof beautifully without damaging shingles or risking injury.
Step One: Shingle Tab
- Insert one bulb into each shingle tab to keep lights straight and secure.
- Slide the tabs gently under the shingles so they stay in place without wiggling.
- When it’s time to take them down, remove the tab and bulb together and wrap for easy storage.
Step Two: All-In-One Clip
- Designed for C7, C9, and icicle lights.
- Attach the bulb to the clip and fasten to your roof edge.
- For removal, take down the clip and bulb as one unit and wrap carefully for reuse.
What To Avoid When Hanging Christmas Lights On A Shingle Roof
- Don’t use staples – they can puncture shingles and lead to leaks.
- Avoid stepping on shingle edges – always walk on the center to prevent breakage.
- Skip icy or snowy areas – safety first when working on the roof.
Why Hire a Professional to Hang Christmas Lights?

- Designed and maintained with a stress-free experience
