We Handle Everything — Start to Storage

Our Christmas light service is genuinely full-service — not just installation. It starts with a free in-person design consultation at your home, where we walk the property, discuss lighting style, coverage areas, and color preferences, and design a display that complements your home's architecture.

We use commercial-grade LED lights — brighter, more energy-efficient, and far more durable than what you find at retail stores. They're designed to withstand an NC winter and look great all season. Lights can be customer-owned (purchased through us) or leased seasonally — we'll explain both options and pricing during the consultation.

Installation happens October through November by our trained crew. Takedown occurs in January and February. We store your lights in our climate-controlled facility year-round, so you never deal with tangled strands, burned-out sections, or garage storage again. Book early — installation slots fill fast in October and we can't add capacity at the last minute.

Our Holiday Lighting Process

From the first consultation to the final takedown, every step is handled by our team. You enjoy the season — we handle the rest.

1

Free In-Person Design Consultation

We visit your property, walk the roofline and grounds, discuss your style and coverage goals, and design a custom display — all at no charge and no obligation.

2

Custom Design & Layout

We finalize the design, select lighting product, and plan the installation sequence for your specific home. Commercial-grade LED lights are ordered and prepared for your property.

3

Professional Installation (Oct–Nov)

Our trained crew installs everything — roofline, trees, shrubs, walkways, and accent lighting — using professional clips, timers, and connections that protect your home and stay secure all season.

4

Enjoy All Season

Your display is fully operational. If a section has an issue during the season, call us — we come back and fix it as part of the service. You don't climb a ladder for anything.

5

Takedown & Storage (Jan–Feb)

We return in January or February, carefully remove all lights and clips, inspect strands for damage, and store everything in our facility until the following season.

Why Hickory Homeowners Choose Us for Holiday Lighting

We've been the area's trusted exterior service company since 2010. Holiday lighting is one of our biggest services — we put the same professionalism into it that we bring to every job.

💡

Commercial-Grade LEDs

We use commercial-grade LED lights — not retail store product. They're brighter, last longer, and are rated for outdoor use through a full NC winter. The difference is visible from the street.

🎄

Full-Service Install & Takedown

Installation, mid-season service calls, takedown, and storage — it's all included. You never climb a ladder, store a strand, or untangle a set of lights again.

🎨

Custom Design, In Person

Every design starts with a free in-person consultation at your property. We don't design off a photo — we walk the home, assess rooflines and trees, and build a display that fits your house.

📦

Year-Round Storage

We store your lights after takedown so you don't have to. No attic boxes, no tangled strands in the garage. Your display comes back out fresh and ready the following October.

🛡️

Licensed & Insured

Fully licensed and insured for residential and commercial installation work. Every crew member is trained for safe roofline and elevated work — no homeowners on ladders at any point.

Christmas Light Installation — Frequently Asked Questions

How early should I book Christmas light installation?
As early as possible — ideally by September. Our holiday installation calendar fills up in October, and once it's full, we can't add more slots regardless of how much lead time remains before the holidays. New customers who reach out in September or early October have the most flexibility on installation date and design timeline. Returning customers are contacted first with their renewal slot. If you're reading this in the fall and haven't booked yet, call now: (828) 499-1318.
Do you use my lights or yours?
We use our own commercial-grade LED lights — and for good reason. Retail lights aren't designed for professional installation and typically don't survive a full season on a roofline in NC weather. Our commercial LEDs are rated for outdoor year-round use, come in consistent color and brightness, and are inspected before and after each season. You have the option to purchase the lights outright (they're yours to keep and we store them) or to lease them seasonally, which includes replacement of any damaged sections at no extra cost. We'll walk through both options at the design consultation.
What happens if a bulb or section goes out after installation?
Call us. Mid-season service calls are part of the service — if a section goes dark or a connection fails during the holiday season, we come back and fix it. You don't climb a ladder, you don't troubleshoot wiring, you don't wait until spring to find out what happened. One call and we handle it. This is one of the key differences between hiring a professional service and doing it yourself.
When do you do takedown?
Takedown is scheduled in January and February, after the holiday season ends. We contact all customers to schedule their takedown window, carefully remove all lights and installation clips, inspect strands for damage, and transport everything to our storage facility. You don't need to be home for takedown in most cases — we'll confirm the logistics during the consultation. Lights are stored until we contact you the following fall to renew or adjust your display.
Do you install commercial Christmas lights?
Yes. We service commercial properties throughout Catawba County — retail storefronts, office buildings, restaurants, churches, HOA common areas, and event venues. Commercial installs are quoted separately from residential based on linear footage, height, and complexity. If you manage a commercial property or HOA, reach out early — commercial installs typically require more planning time and our commercial calendar fills faster than residential.
How much does Christmas light installation cost in Hickory?
Pricing is customized to each property — roofline length, number of trees and shrubs, lighting type, and whether you're purchasing or leasing the lights all affect the price. We don't quote over the phone because the variables are too significant. Every job starts with a free in-person design consultation where we walk the property, design the display, and give you a firm price before any commitment. Most residential installations range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars depending on scope. Call (828) 499-1318 to schedule your free consultation.
