Permanent Christmas lights in St. Joseph
Done with the ladder? So are your St. Joseph neighbors.
Every fall, homeowners in North St. Joseph subdivisions, Downtown St. Joseph along Main Street and Salt Fork River area 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 St. Joseph's newer two-stories and ranches in the subdivisions on the north side, 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.
St. Joseph is about 18 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.

Permanent or seasonal in St. Joseph?
Permanent Christmas lights vs. a seasonal install
We do both in St. Joseph. 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 St. Joseph 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!
