What Happens if It Rains on Your Install Day in Noblesville?
We get this question a lot, especially around mid-October when Noblesville weather can flip from sunny skies to rain showers in a matter of hours:
“What if it rains on the day you’re scheduled to install my Christmas lights?”
Great question. After all, safety matters and so does getting your holiday lights up on time.
The short answer? We plan for weather, every single day.
But let’s walk you through exactly what happens if your scheduled install day turns wet.
Indiana Weather Can Be a Wildcard
If you’ve lived in Noblesville long enough, you already know: the weather here is anything but predictable.
You might wake up to sunshine and find yourself in a drizzle by lunch. That’s why, as local pros who install lights throughout Hazel Dell Woods, Prairie Crossing, Wellington Northeast, and beyond we’ve learned to stay flexible.
Our crews check the radar daily, and our project managers are in constant contact with clients when weather becomes a factor.
Safety Comes First (Always)
At My Guy Services, the number one priority is crew and client safety. If it’s lightly misting? We can usually proceed as planned. But if it’s raining steadily or the roof is wet and slick, we may need to delay.
Here’s what counts as a weather delay:
Wet, slippery rooftops or ladders
Active rain showers during the scheduled install window
Forecasted storms or wind speeds over 15 mph
Roofs with frost or snow from overnight temperatures
Bottom line: If the weather makes it unsafe to climb or work on your home, we won’t risk it.
What Happens If We Reschedule?
Good news: if we need to move your appointment due to weather, you’re not bumped to the bottom of the list.
We’ll prioritize you for the next available clear day.
Here’s how it works:
We’ll notify you by text or call the night before or morning of install if rain is expected.
Our team will work with you to reschedule within 24–72 hours, depending on the forecast.
We keep spots open each week specifically to accommodate weather shifts.
Because we start installations in late October, we build plenty of buffer into our calendar. This means we can stay on track—even if Mother Nature has other plans.

Are the Lights Waterproof?
Absolutely! We use commercial-grade LED Christmas lights built for outdoor weather.
That includes:
Sealed sockets and connectors
Heavy-duty wiring for Indiana winters
Timers and clips designed for outdoor use
These lights are meant to handle rain, snow, wind, and temperature swings. Once they’re installed, they’ll shine bright, even on damp December nights.
But while the lights can handle the rain, we don’t want our team on your roof if conditions are slippery.
Why Booking Early Helps with Weather Delays
Here’s one of the biggest reasons Noblesville families book their installs early (like in August or September): flexibility.
If you wait until November, there are fewer open slots to move you into. But if you book early, we have more room to shift your date without long delays.
Think of it like this:
Early bookings = wider schedule, more options, less stress
Last-minute bookings = fewer open slots, tighter timelines
We keep our schedule smart so we can move quickly when the weather calls for a pivot. You won’t be stuck waiting until Christmas Eve.
Smart Planning = No Surprises
Here’s what we do differently than fly-by-night companies:
✅ Weather buffer days: We intentionally leave some weekdays open for reschedules.
✅ Multiple crews: So we can fast-track make-up appointments.
✅ Real-time radar tracking: Our team watches weather patterns every morning.
✅ Same-day notifications: If weather shifts suddenly, we’ll call or text to keep you in the loop.
This isn’t our first Indiana winter. Rain happens = we’re ready.

What If It Snows Instead?
Snow is a different challenge altogether. If we get early snowfall in late October or early November, installs may be paused until surfaces are clear.
However, snow rarely causes long-term delays. We use:
Roof-friendly snow brushes
Scheduling flexibility to return within a day or two
If we ever need to delay because of snow, we handle it just like rain: fast, respectful rescheduling with your satisfaction in mind.
“My Neighbors Got Their Lights Installed in the Rain—Why Not Me?”
It depends on a few factors:
Your roof pitch and height
Type of install (roofline vs. ground lighting only)
Crew safety assessment
Amount and type of precipitation
In some cases, we can still install tree wraps, bushes, or ground lighting while skipping rooflines until conditions improve. We’ll communicate exactly what can (or can’t) be done when we check your home.
What You Can Do to Help
To make things smoother on install day—rain or shine—here are a few tips:
Clear your driveway of cars or obstacles
Let us know if you’ve noticed frost on the roof early mornings
Keep an eye on weather updates we send you
Be flexible—reschedules are rare, but we appreciate your patience if needed
We treat your home like our own. Safety and quality always come first.
And Yes—We Still Guarantee Your Install
Even if we have to shift your install by a day or two due to weather, you’re still guaranteed a professional, beautiful lighting display—installed before the holiday rush.
We’re committed to making your Noblesville home shine this season, with no stress on your end.
