Christmas lights and exterior care in Midtown Tulsa

Christmas light installation in Midtown Tulsa from Hydra Total Care is $4.25 per linear foot of roof line, installed from $800. A Midtown Tudor often has several gables, a front peak, and a porch line, so the quote measures each run you want lit instead of guessing from the size of the house. Every home is measured and quoted before any work begins.

Permanent lighting is LED track fitted to the roof line, color-matched to the trim, and run from an app. It starts at $1,500 (most homes around $2,800, about $12 per foot). On an older Midtown house it sits nearly out of sight during the day, which matters when the brick and trim are the point of the house. If your street has a neighborhood association, check its rules before install day.

Planning lights for a Midtown roof line? Christmas light installation in Midtown Tulsa covers Maple Ridge, Swan Lake, Brookside, and Cherry Street homes, from tall Tudor gables to bungalow porches.

The black streaks on Midtown roofs are Gloeocapsa magma, an algae that grows where Oklahoma humidity meets shade. Under the old oaks around Maple Ridge and Swan Lake, north-facing slopes stay damp for hours after the sun hits the rest of the roof. That is where the streaks show first.

A roof soft wash removes the streaks with a cleaning solution at low pressure, starting at $500. Hydra Total Care never pressure washes shingles, because high pressure strips the granules that protect them.

Spring storms knock seed, twigs, and hail-shredded leaves into Midtown gutters, and fall fills them again. Clear the gutters before Christmas lights go up, so the lights hang on a clean roof line and meltwater can drain. Gutter cleaning starts at $249, or $200 for customers 55 and over.

Tulsa ice storms load gutters that are already full, and water that cannot drain freezes along the edge. A cleanout in late fall gives the gutters room before the first ice.

Midtown brick from the 1920s has mortar that is softer than the brick around it. A house soft wash cleans the stains caused by algae and mildew at low pressure, so the joints are not cut and water is not driven into the wall. House washes start at $299, and most homes fall between $299 and $799.
