Everything we install is commercial-grade, which means brighter, more durable, and more energy-efficient than anything you'd find at a retail store.

Frequently Asked Question
Professional Christmas light installation in the Chicago area typically costs between $2,800 to $5,500+, depending on the size of your home, the complexity of the design, and the materials involved. This includes everything: custom design, all lights and materials, professional installation, season-long service, and complete removal. We provide a detailed quote after your free design call so there are no surprises.
The earlier the better. Our most popular installation dates for the holiday season fill up by late summer, and our busiest months are October and November. We recommend booking your design call even in Spring or early Summer to secure your preferred installation date. That said, if you’re reading this in October, give us a call anyway. We’ll do our best to fit you in.
Yes. We celebrate every holiday tradition and would love to design something that reflects yours. Whether it’s Hanukkah, Winter Wonderland, or a combination, we’ll create a custom design that feels right for your family.
Call or text us and we’ll come fix it, usually within 48 hours. Season-long service is included in every installation at no extra charge. We use commercial-grade LED lights that are more reliable than retail products, but Chicago weather can be unpredictable. If something goes out, we’ve got you covered.
Absolutely. Some of our clients change their look every year, and some keep the same design they’ve loved for a decade. It’s completely up to you. During your annual design call, we’ll talk about whether you want to keep what you have, make tweaks, or try something entirely new.
Yes, we do both. A lot of our clients want the full experience: front yard curb appeal plus a beautifully lit back yard and patio area for holiday entertaining. We can combine exterior and interior decorating for a complete, full-home holiday experience.
We use commercial-grade LED lights exclusively. They’re brighter, more durable, and more energy-efficient than the lights you’d buy at a hardware store. They hold up better in Chicago winters, which matters when you’re dealing with wind, ice, and snow for two months straight.
