Your Go-To Experts for Holiday Lighting
Estate properties change what holiday lighting requires. Many rooflines here run 240 to 400 linear feet, broken up by gables, dormers, and steep pitches, and the trees framing these lots have grown past anything a homeowner ladder can reach.
That scale is our normal work. We are a landscaping company whose crews work outdoors, at height, in every season — so a long, complicated roofline is a job we plan, not a problem we improvise around. One team designs your display, installs it, keeps it running through the season, takes it down in January, and stores it until next year.
Our Services
Roofline lighting is the foundation: commercial-grade C9 bulbs, measured and cut on site so every run ends cleanly at a corner or gable point. From there we build out the property — trunk and branch wrapping for tall, mature trees, lit wreaths and garland for entries, gates, and railings, and staked lighting along walkways and drives.
We also work all winter clearing driveways and lots, so pairing your display with our snow removal service puts the whole season under one contractor. Commercial and community entrances can be quoted on the same visit.
Why Choose Professional Installation?
Because steep pitches, two- and three-story eaves, and icy December footing are exactly where ladder accidents happen. Our crews carry the right equipment for tall gables and mature trees, and they climb for a living — that alone is worth the quote for most homeowners.
You are also covered on paper: we are licensed and insured, and certificates of insurance are available for HOA approval or a property manager's file. And the result simply looks different — custom-cut runs sit tight to the roofline with no sagging loops, no extension cords draped over shrubs, and no dark gaps where a store-bought strand ran out.
Installation Process: What to Expect
It starts with a free estimate: send your address and a few photos, and we will price the display and walk you through options. Once you approve a design, you pick an install date between October 15 and December 10 — earlier dates get the most choice.
On install day the crew fits, hangs, and tests everything before leaving. Through the season, mid-season maintenance is included: if a section fails, we come fix it at no charge. In January we return for takedown, then store your lights until next year. You never touch a ladder, a timer box, or a storage bin.
Light Types and Design Ideas
Warm white C9 along the roofline is the signature estate look — understated from the street, dramatic at dusk. Wrapped trees suit long drives and deep front yards; wreaths and garland warm up a formal entry; multicolor designs are the family-favorite option; and permanent LED trim keeps a clean lit edge year-round. Not sure where to start? Two or three styles, layered, beat everything at once.
Christmas Light Installation Cost in Barrington
| Install type | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Roofline only | $1,200–$2,800 |
| Full property | $3,000–$7,000 |
Most Barrington roofline installs run $1,200–$2,800, and full-property displays with trees, garland, and walkways run $3,000–$7,000. A quote well below these ranges usually covers a short, front-facing run — not a complete estate roofline.
Every price includes commercial-grade LED lights, a custom-fit install, mid-season maintenance, January takedown, and off-season storage. Permanent systems and tree removal or trimming are quoted separately.
Three factors set your number: roofline footage, number of stories, and roof pitch and access. On homes with 300-plus feet of roofline, footage is the biggest lever by far.
Prefer lights that never come down? Permanent LED systems run $20–$40 per linear foot — details on our Christmas light installation page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are your crews insured to work on large or multi-story homes?
Yes. We are licensed and insured, and our crews work at height year-round. Certificates of insurance are available for HOA approval or for your property manager's records.
Do you install wreaths, garland, and tree wrapping?
Yes — all three. Lit wreaths and garland dress entries, gates, and railings, while trunk-and-branch wrapping can make a mature tree the centerpiece of the whole display. Each element is priced by scope in your free estimate.
What happens to the lights after the holidays?
We return in January, take everything down, and store the lights until next season. Takedown and storage are included in every install — you never climb a ladder, untangle a strand, or give up shelf space.
Do you provide the lights, or can you install lights I already own?
Every install uses commercial-grade LED lights that we supply and own. That is what lets us guarantee the display: if a section fails mid-season, we replace it at no charge.
Do you install permanent holiday lighting?
Yes. Permanent LED trim stays up year-round and runs $20–$40 per linear foot. Ask during your estimate and we will quote seasonal and permanent options side by side.
