Christmas lights in Oakland

Professional Christmas light installers in Oakland

Oakland has a classic town square surrounded by Victorian and Craftsman homes that carry the holidays well, and we run it on our Coles County days with Charleston, about 45 minutes from Champaign.

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 Oakland 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 Oakland.

Local knowledge

We know Oakland's homes

Victorian and Craftsman homes get bulb spacing that follows the trim and garland on porch rails. Brick ranches take a single roofline and lit shrubs. Farmhouses toward Ashmore add fence lines.

Weather note for Oakland: Oakland is open prairie with steady wind; we use tight clip spacing and anchored corners.

How it works

How Christmas light installation works in Oakland

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

  • 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!
