Elmhurst has rebuilt a lot of itself in the last twenty years. Streets that were once uniform bungalows and Cape Cods now mix original homes with substantial new construction, sometimes on the same block, and the two need different lighting entirely. A new build with a two-story entry and three intersecting gables carries a display that would overwhelm the Cape Cod next door. Our Christmas lights installation designs are scaled to the individual house.
Free on-site consultation first. We measure the elevation, look at it from the street, and plan coverage across rooflines, peaks, dormers, entryways, columns, window frames, walkways, and the mature parkway trees that shade most Elmhurst streets. All commercial-grade LED, custom cut, clip-mounted with no staples or nails, installed by trained and insured technicians. Here is how we think about lights on a house.
The newer homes going up around Elmhurst have the roofline complexity that makes a display genuinely impressive and genuinely dangerous to install yourself. Two-story entries, steep pitches, and gables that meet at awkward angles are exactly the conditions that put people in the emergency room every December. Our installers are trained and fully insured for that height, and nobody in your household touches a ladder.
Most single-family homes are finished in one visit with timers set before we leave. In-season repairs are included at no charge — a run that fails on December 20th is a phone call, not a lost weekend. We take everything down in January and store it at our facility. If you are weighing the cost, our holiday light installation cost breakdown is a straight answer.
York Street’s downtown district and the North Avenue and Roosevelt Road corridors give Elmhurst businesses real December visibility if they use it. Working as a commercial holiday lighting company, we install for restaurants, retail, professional and medical offices, and property management firms across the city, scheduling outside business hours with full commercial insurance and lift equipment.
Commercial installs use commercial materials — sealed weatherproof connections, heavier gauge wire, and LED strands rated for nightly operation from November into January. Downtown building owners who would rather stop paying to reinstall the same display every year should cost out permanent year-round lighting, which mounts once and reprograms by app for every holiday on the calendar.
American Holiday Lights has been installing across DuPage County for over 25 years. Our Christmas light hanging service covers design, commercial-grade product, professional installation, season-long maintenance, January takedown, and storage at our facility — so the only thing you do is approve the design.
We serve the surrounding communities with the same crews, including Oak Brook, Lombard, River Forest, and Glen Ellyn. Elmhurst’s install calendar fills through the fall, and the larger new-construction designs need the most lead time. Browse our gallery, read our reviews, and request a free quote.
