Christmas lights in Mattoon
Professional Christmas light installers in Mattoon
Mattoon is the commercial heart of Coles County, and its neighborhoods range from the Victorian and Craftsman homes near Peterson Park to the newer two-stories in the southwest part of town and the lakefront homes on Lake Mattoon and Lake Paradise. All of them light well with a design that fits the house, and the long flat streets of Mattoon show a warm white roofline from a distance.
We serve Mattoon and Charleston from our Champaign base, about 50 minutes south on I-57, on dedicated Coles County install days through the season. Every install is full service with 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 Mattoon 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 Mattoon's homes
Southwest Mattoon's newer two-stories take a full C9 outline with lit landscape beds. Near Peterson Park and downtown, Victorian gables and Craftsman porches need bulb spacing that follows the trim, with wrapped trees and porch garland. On Lake Mattoon and Lake Paradise we often light both the street and water sides. Across the city's mid-century neighborhoods a single clean roofline and lit shrubs is the best-value design, and acreages toward Lerna add fence and barn lines.
Weather note for Mattoon: Mattoon's lakefront homes take wind and moisture off the water, and the older neighborhoods near Peterson Park have mature trees that shed ice. We use sealed sockets, tight clips on lake-facing rooflines and route lines clear of overhanging limbs.

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!
