What we do
Two ways to light your home. One standard for both.
A classic warm-white Christmas display designed and installed every November, or a permanent, app-controlled system you enjoy all year. Either way: a designer at your door, custom-cut lines built for your rooflines, an insured crew, and a result that looks like it was part of the architecture.

How it works
Our full-service process. You never touch a thing.
Five steps, one phone call. We handle every part of your holiday lighting from the first sketch to off-season storage.
-
Design
We visit your home, measure every roofline and tree, and design a layout that fits its architecture. You approve the look before anything goes up.
-
Install
Our insured crew installs commercial-grade LED lights with custom-cut lines and clips made for your roof. No staples, no damage, no ladders for you.
-
Maintain
A bulb goes out or a storm knocks a line loose? We come fix it, free, all season long. Your display looks perfect every night.
-
Takedown
In January we remove everything carefully, inspect each strand, and leave your home exactly as we found it.
-
Store
We label and store your lights in our climate-controlled facility until next season. Nothing in your garage or attic.
The experience
You're not buying lights. You're buying the best-lit home on the street, without lifting a finger.
Our clients in Cherry Hills, Ironwood, Lake of the Woods, Stone Creek, Hawthorne and Fox Creek don't want a box of lights and a Saturday on a ladder. They want a designer who understands their home, a crew that treats the property with respect, and a display that draws the neighbors out to look. That's the whole job, and it's the only way we do it.
- A designer at your door. Every roofline, column and tree measured, every line custom-cut to the inch
- Commercial-grade LED C9 bulbs with the sparkle and consistency box-store strands never have
- Zero damage. Roof-safe clips on every edge. No staples, nails or screws, ever
- It just works. Timers at dusk. A bulb goes out, we fix it the same week, free
- Nothing to store, nothing to remember. We take it down in January and keep it until next year
- Permanent lighting from the best system in the area, rated 25+ years and backed by our 5-year warranty
Permanent lighting
Lights you install once and enjoy for 25 years
A slim aluminum track tucked under your roofline holds individually addressable LEDs that disappear by day and do anything you want at night: warm white for everyday elegance, red and green for Christmas, orange and blue for Illini game day, red, white and blue for the Fourth, and a soft security glow all year.
- Control everything from your phone, with schedules and sunset timers
- Rated 25+ years and backed by our 5-year company warranty
- Installed in one day by our own crew. No annual install or takedown fees
- We are a licensed installer of Orca Smart Lighting, the best permanent lights in the area

Our lights were amazing. Lights were done quickly and efficiently. When the season was over he was back to take them down just when he said he would. We have had him put our lights up for several years and will continue to! Highly recommended.

We just had our lights installed by Midwest Holiday Lighting on Thanksgiving day. We just called them and let them know we would like them to do our light install and they worked us in quickly. They were very friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, and patient. We love the holiday lighting they installed on our house and will use them for years to come. They provided all the materials, completed the install quickly, and will store the lights for us during the off season. I added the wreath last minute and they had all the supplies to install it. We could not be happier with Tom and his crew and the job they did installing our lights. Thank You Midwest Holiday Lighting for making our holidays feel more merry and our home look brighter! Enjoy!

Tom is honest and hardworking, you won't find better out there!
