Christmas lights in Paxton
Professional Christmas light installers in Paxton
Paxton loves Christmas lights. The town's community lighting tradition is well known across the region, and the Victorian and Craftsman homes in the historic district near the courthouse are the kind of houses that make a drive-through-the-lights evening worthwhile. A professional warm white roofline with porch garland and a wrapped tree on one of those homes fits right in.
We're 30 minutes north on I-57 from our Champaign base, and Paxton anchors our Ford County route with Gibson City. 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 Paxton 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 Paxton's homes
In the historic district, bulb spacing follows Victorian gables and Craftsman porches, with garland on the rails. North Paxton's newer ranches and two-stories take a clean C9 outline with lit beds. The brick ranches of the 1960s and 70s look best with a single roofline and lit shrubs. Farmhouses on the edges of town and acreages along Route 45 add fence lines and barn rooflines that show from the highway.
Weather note for Paxton: Paxton sits on open prairie with nothing to break the north and west wind, and Ford County winters are among the coldest in our area. We use tight clip spacing, anchored corners and cold-rated line on every install.

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!
