Christmas lights in Champaign
Professional Christmas light installers in Champaign
Champaign is where Midwest Holiday Lighting started: a ladder, a car trunk and a lot of knocked-on doors in the subdivisions off Windsor Road. Today we light more homes here than anywhere else, from the big multi-gable two-stories in Cherry Hills and the Trails at Abbey Fields to the brick ranches of Devonshire and the bungalows around Clark Park.
Because our crews are based here, Champaign homeowners get the fastest scheduling in our service area. Need a bulb replaced before a holiday party? We're usually there the same day. Want to add wrapped trees to the display you had last year? One text. And when Illini football and basketball season overlaps with the holidays, we know the weekends to avoid on campus-side streets.
Whether you're looking for a Christmas light company, a Christmas light hanging service or full holiday light installation, every Champaign install follows our five-step full-service process: we design the layout for your home, install commercial-grade LED C9 lights on custom-cut lines with roof-safe clips, maintain the display at no charge all season, take it down in January, and store it until next year. Want lights without the yearly cycle? See permanent lighting in Champaign.
Local knowledge
We know Champaign's homes
Southwest Champaign is the heart of our residential work. The newer two-stories in Ironwood, Trails at Abbey Fields and Boulder Ridge have long, complex rooflines with four, five or six gables, and warm white C9s along every peak is the signature look on those streets. Around Champaign Country Club and Lincolnshire Fields we see more brick, stone and columned entries, where we add garland, wreaths and uplighting to match the formality of the home. In Devonshire, Southwood and the mid-century neighborhoods near Centennial, low-pitched ranches look best with a clean single roofline and lit shrubs. Near downtown and Clark Park, the Craftsman porches and steep gables of older homes take a slightly denser bulb spacing to read well from the sidewalk.
Weather note for Champaign: Champaign's open prairie exposure means December winds come straight across the fields from the west. We clip every line at tight intervals and anchor corners so a 40 mph gust in Ironwood or Cherry Hills doesn't lift a strand.

-
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.

Store
We label and store your lights in our climate-controlled facility until next season. Nothing in your garage or attic.

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!
