Christmas light installation in Hinsdale

Older homes, newer homes, one plan for each

The oldest houses in Hinsdale date to the 1800s, and the village has a historic downtown district. Older homes often carry more roof detail: dormers, chimneys, porch roofs and steep gables. Newer houses often have a broad, simple front. Either way, we measure every run at the design visit and photograph the house.

You get a photo mockup of your own home lit up before you book. Then you get one all-inclusive price and a one-page agreement. Everyday Roofline covers up to 100 feet of front roofline, with commercial-grade warm white C9 LEDs, clip-mounted. Nothing is nailed, stapled or glued to your house.

Mature trees, front walks and the Estate package

A tall oak or maple in the front yard can carry the whole look of a display, or it can be a dark gap. Signature Estate lights the whole property, including tree canopy and trunk wraps. It also covers lit wreaths and garland and pathway accents. We draw the plan up on site, and we make maintenance visits through the season.

Wherever people walk or drive past, the street-facing side of your home is what counts. We build the plan around that side first, then add the rest if you want it. A lit front door with wreath and garland, and a lit walk to it, tell neighbors the house is ready for the holidays.

Outlets, timing and booking

Older Hinsdale houses may have few exterior outlets, and some sit in odd places. We do not do electrical work. We use the exterior outlets you already have, and we will say at the design visit if one is needed. Then you can have it added before our November install.

Installs run early November to mid-December, with takedown in January. The design visit is $150, credited toward your install, and it is confirmed once the deposit is paid. Booking takes 50% down, and the balance is due the day the display is lit. Call 262-300-7729.

What it costs

You rent the display. We own the lights, so there is nothing to buy or store. A 50% deposit at booking holds your install date, and the balance is due the day your display is lit.

How it works
