Christmas lights in Mahomet

Professional Christmas light installers in Mahomet

Mahomet is where Champaign County families go for bigger lots, bigger trees and bigger homes, and that combination makes for some of the best holiday displays we install anywhere. A two-story in Thornewood with warm white C9s on every gable, a lit evergreen in the yard and a wrapped oak along the drive is the picture a lot of people have in their head when they think of Christmas lights.

We've been installing in Mahomet since our early seasons and know the subdivisions well: which streets have the tall rooflines that need our longest ladders, which wooded lots need lines routed around limbs, and which HOAs like to see a design before install. Every Mahomet install is full service, maintenance and storage included.

Whether you're looking for a Christmas light company, a Christmas light hanging service or full holiday light installation, every Mahomet 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 Mahomet's homes

Thornewood and Hunters Ridge have the largest homes in Mahomet, with multiple front gables, tall entries and long garage rooflines that take 250 feet of C9 line or more. Lake of the Woods and the Sangamon River corridor have wooded lots where the trees are as much a part of the display as the house, and we wrap trunks and uplight canopies to match the roofline. The newer subdivisions off South Mahomet Road have cleaner three- and four-gable fronts that look sharp in a straightforward warm white outline. Acreage homes on Route 47 and Route 150 often add lit fence lines, barn rooflines and entry gates so the display reads from the road.

Weather note for Mahomet: Mahomet's river-bottom lots and wooded subdivisions hold more moisture and ice than the open prairie around them, so we use weather-sealed sockets and route lines clear of overhanging limbs that shed ice after a storm.

How it works

How Christmas light installation works in Mahomet

One call does it all. Here's what happens after you request a quote for your Mahomet 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 Mahomet say

4.9 stars on Google

  • 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!

FAQ

Christmas light questions from Mahomet

See all questions
Can you handle the tall rooflines in Thornewood and Hunters Ridge?
Yes. Our crews carry the ladders and standoff equipment for two-and-a-half-story gables, and we install on those homes every season. You never have to go up there yourself.
Do you light trees on wooded lots along the Sangamon River?
Yes. Tree wrapping and canopy uplighting are popular on Mahomet's wooded lots. We size the mini lights to the trunk and limbs and route everything clear of the drip line.
Do you install on acreages outside the village limits?
Yes. Country homes on Route 47, Route 150 and the roads around Lake of the Woods are part of our Mahomet service area, including barns, fences and entry gates.
When should I book Christmas lights in Mahomet?
Our Mahomet install calendar fills from the front. Book in September or October to get your preferred week and the 10% off early-booking discount. Installs run late October through mid-December, and we can put lights up early and turn them on by timer after Thanksgiving.
Do you take the lights down and store them?
Yes. Every Mahomet install includes takedown in January and labeled off-season storage at our facility. You never store a box of lights again.
Is Midwest Holiday Lighting insured to work on my Mahomet home?
Yes. We are fully insured and veteran owned, and our crews are trained for roof and ladder work. We are about 18 minutes from Mahomet, so maintenance visits are quick.
