Christmas lights in Sullivan

Professional Christmas light installers in Sullivan

Sullivan's courthouse square, anchored by The Little Theatre, is one of the liveliest small-town downtowns in Central Illinois, and the Victorian homes on the surrounding streets carry that character into the holidays. Add the lake homes toward Lake Shelbyville with their wooded lots and water views, and Sullivan has some of the most rewarding lighting projects in our southern service area.

We serve Sullivan and Moultrie County from our Champaign base, about 55 minutes southwest, routing it with Arcola and the Mattoon area. 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 Sullivan 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 Sullivan's homes

Around the square, bulb spacing follows Victorian and Italianate trim and porches get garland and wreaths. Lake Shelbyville homes often want both the street and lake sides lit, with tree wrapping on wooded lots. North Sullivan'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 acreages toward Bethany add fence and barn lines.

Weather note for Sullivan: Sullivan's lake-area homes take wind and moisture off Lake Shelbyville, and the wooded lots shed ice after storms. We use sealed sockets and route lines clear of overhanging limbs.

How it works

How Christmas light installation works in Sullivan

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

    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!
