Christmas lights in Monticello
Professional Christmas light installers in Monticello
Monticello is one of the prettiest towns in Central Illinois at Christmas. The Victorian homes around the courthouse square were built to be decorated, with turrets, wraparound porches and gingerbread trim, and the town takes its holiday look seriously. A professionally lit roofline on one of those houses, with garland on the porch rail and a wreath on the door, is as good as holiday lighting gets.
We've installed across Monticello for years, from the historic district to the newer subdivisions on the north side and the wooded estates on the road to Allerton. It's about 28 minutes from our Champaign base along I-72, and we route Monticello with our Piatt County work so maintenance visits are quick.
Whether you're looking for a Christmas light company, a Christmas light hanging service or full holiday light installation, every Monticello 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 Monticello's homes
The historic district is where Monticello shines. Queen Anne turrets, Italianate brackets and steep Victorian gables each need a specific bulb spacing and clip, and we design those homes line by line. On the north side, newer brick and stone two-stories have cleaner rooflines that take a full warm white outline. Toward Allerton Park and along the Sangamon, wooded estate lots call for wrapped trees and uplighting to complement the house. Ranches and split-levels near the high school look best with a single roofline and lit shrubs.
Weather note for Monticello: Monticello's historic homes have steep, ornate rooflines and the wooded lots toward Allerton Park collect ice from overhanging limbs. We use gutter and shingle clips sized for older trim and route lines clear of drip points.

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!
