Permanent Christmas lights in Monticello
Done with the ladder? So are your Monticello neighbors.
Every fall, homeowners in Historic district near the courthouse square, North Monticello subdivisions and Bridge Street corridor face the same choice: spend a weekend on a ladder, pay someone to hang lights again, or skip it. Permanent Christmas lights end that cycle. We mount a slim track under your roofline once, color-matched to your trim, and from then on Christmas is a tap on your phone.
On Monticello's victorian, Italianate and Queen Anne homes in the historic district, the lights follow every eave and peak at 9-inch spacing, the same as a professional C9 line. In December you choose classic warm white, red and green or candy cane. In October it's Illini orange and blue. On an ordinary night, a soft warm white that makes the house look finished.
Monticello is about 28 minutes from our Champaign base, and the same crew that installs your system handles any service under our 5-year warranty. We're a licensed installer of Orca Smart Lighting, the best permanent lights in the area.
The look
Do permanent Christmas lights look like real Christmas lights?
In warm white, from the street, most people can't tell the difference. Here's how they look on homes like yours.
Christmas scenes
Christmas looks for your Monticello home
Classic warm white
The timeless look. Warm white every 9 inches along every roofline, the same spacing as a professional C9 install.
Red and green
Alternating red and green for the traditional Christmas look, or switch to a slow fade between the two.
Candy cane
Red and white alternating, steady or with a gentle chase around the roofline.
Retro multicolor
The nostalgic big-bulb multicolor look, in any color order you like.
Icy blue and white
Cool white and blue for a crisp winter look that runs from Thanksgiving through January.
Twinkle and sparkle
A soft twinkle for Christmas Eve or a white sparkle at midnight on New Year's Eve.
Permanent or seasonal in Monticello?
Permanent Christmas lights vs. a seasonal install
We do both in Monticello. Choose a seasonal Christmas light installation if you want big C9 bulbs, wrapped trees and garland, or only decorate for Christmas. Choose permanent Christmas lights if you light up every year and want to stop scheduling installs, or want lights for game days, Halloween and everyday curb appeal too.
Many Monticello homeowners do both: a permanent roofline year-round, plus seasonal trees and greenery in December. The full comparison is in permanent vs. temporary Christmas lights, and the cost factors are in the cost guide.

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!
