Christmas lights in Rantoul

Professional Christmas light installers in Rantoul

Rantoul has one of the most diverse housing stocks in the county, from the mid-century ranches built during the Chanute years to the newer subdivisions on the north side and the brick homes along Brookhill. All of them light well with the right design, and the long, flat blocks of Rantoul's neighborhoods mean a lit roofline is visible from a long way off.

We're 22 minutes up I-57 from our Champaign base, and Rantoul is on our regular northern route with Thomasboro, Fisher and Paxton. 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 Rantoul 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 Rantoul's homes

The north-side subdivisions have Rantoul's newest two-stories, which take a full warm white outline with lit landscape beds. The large stock of mid-century ranches and split-levels from the base era is where a single clean roofline and lit shrubs make the biggest difference for the money. Brick ranches along Brookhill Golf Course often add wrapped trees and uplighting. Older two-stories near downtown pair a roofline with porch garland, and acreages toward Thomasboro and Fisher add fence and barn lines.

Weather note for Rantoul: Rantoul sits on the flat, open plain that made it an airfield, and winter wind is relentless. Every Rantoul install gets tight clip spacing and anchored corners, and we check exposed rooflines after major wind events.

How it works

How Christmas light installation works in Rantoul

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

See all questions
Do you install on the older ranches in Rantoul's base-era neighborhoods?
Yes, and they light beautifully. A single clean warm white roofline and lit shrubs is one of the best-value displays we do, and the long flat streets show it off.
Do you serve the country homes toward Thomasboro and Fisher?
Yes. Acreages on the county roads around Rantoul are on our northern route, including barns, fences and entry gates.
Will wind be a problem for lights in Rantoul?
We design for it. Tight clip spacing and anchored corners keep lines in place through the gusts that come across the old airfield, and maintenance is free if a storm does knock something loose.
When should I book Christmas lights in Rantoul?
Our Rantoul 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 Rantoul 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 Rantoul home?
Yes. We are fully insured and veteran owned, and our crews are trained for roof and ladder work. We are about 22 minutes from Rantoul, so maintenance visits are quick.
