Christmas lights in Gibson City

Professional Christmas light installers in Gibson City

Gibson City is a close community where a well-lit home becomes a landmark for the season, and the drive-in on the edge of town sets the tone for a place that likes a show. The newer homes on the north side take a clean warm white outline, and the older two-stories near downtown have the porches and gables that garland and wreaths were made for.

We're about 40 minutes from our Champaign base by way of Route 47, and Gibson City shares our Ford County route with Paxton. Every install includes design, commercial-grade lights, free maintenance, January takedown and storage.

Whether you're looking for a Christmas light company, a Christmas light hanging service or full holiday light installation, every Gibson City 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.

Local knowledge

We know Gibson City's homes

North Gibson City's newer ranches and two-stories show a full C9 outline with lit landscape beds. The brick ranches of the 1960s and 70s look best with a single clean roofline and lit shrubs. Older two-stories near Sangamon Avenue pair a roofline with porch-rail garland and a wreath. Farmhouses toward Melvin and Elliott add fence lines and barn rooflines that show from Route 9 and Route 47.

Weather note for Gibson City: Gibson City is surrounded by open farmland and gets Ford County's full winter wind. We double up clips on exposed rooflines and anchor every peak.

How it works

How Christmas light installation works in Gibson City

One call does it all. Here's what happens after you request a quote for your Gibson City home.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Takedown

    In January we remove everything carefully, inspect each strand, and leave your home exactly as we found it.

  5. Store

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

What homeowners near Gibson City say

  • 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.

    Dana Skinner

  • 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!
