Included with every install

Nothing in your garage. Nothing to untangle. Nothing to remember.

The reason Christmas lights end up as a tangled bin in the attic is that nobody has a good place to put them. We do. After takedown, your custom-cut light lines, clips, cords, timers and greenery are inspected, tested, coiled and labeled with your name and your design, then stored in our facility until the next season.

In the fall we pull your kit, test it again, replace anything that is not perfect and schedule your install. You never buy, store, test or untangle a strand. That is what full service means.

Why storage matters for the lights

Commercial-grade LED lines last for years when they are stored properly: dry, coiled without kinks, kept out of attic heat that degrades wire insulation. Stored in a garage or attic, even good lights fail early. Our storage protects the investment and is the reason our customers' displays look as good in year five as in year one.

Changing your display next year

Because we keep your design and your lights together, changes are easy. Want to add a wrapped tree, switch from warm white to red and white, or extend the display to the back deck? Tell us when we send your fall reminder and we build the additions before install day.

How it works

Our full-service process. You never touch a thing.

Five steps, one phone call. We handle every part of your holiday lighting from the first sketch to off-season storage.

  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 Central Illinois homeowners 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.

  • 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!
