Christmas Light Clips: One-Clip Strategy for Gutters, Ridges, and Magnets

Prefer one primary Christmas light clip type for most roofline so crews do not do on-roof math switching between gutter and shingle tabs. Ridge clips handle ridges and hips. Magnets stay on ferrous steel only.

Clip chaos is a silent profit killer. Choose one primary clip for everyday roofline; specialty surfaces get a named exception path.

Clip roles that belong in your SOP

Primary roofline clip

Choose one primary clip that matches most residential drip edges and gutters. Pre-clip in the warehouse so the field hangs ready strands.

Magnetic clips

Magnets work on ferrous or steel surfaces, not aluminum or copper. Confirm magnetism first.
