A holiday lighting service is judged on the four months after installation day, not the day itself. Ours covers the full arc: design, install, the entire operating season, scheduled takedown, and storage until next year. The install is the visible part; the rest is what you are actually buying.
For Arlington Heights that matters because the weather here is genuinely hard on outdoor lighting between December and February. Wind, ice loading, and freeze-thaw cycling all take a toll. See the full Christmas lights installation service for scope.
Because the village has both very old and very new housing, our service calls here split along predictable lines. Older homes generate electrical and connection issues; newer construction generates wind and clip issues on tall exposed elevations. Knowing which pattern applies to your house means we usually arrive with the right parts rather than diagnosing and returning.
If a run goes dark two days before Christmas, you call and we come out. No charge, no debate about whether it falls under warranty. That commitment is possible because we supply the product and know exactly what is installed on your house.
A company installing customer-supplied retail strands cannot make the same promise, which is one practical argument for the full-service model. Our post on LED Christmas light types explains why commercial-grade product fails far less often in the first place.
There is a maintenance detail worth understanding. Most mid-season failures are not the bulbs, they are the connections between strands, where water finds a way in and freezes. That is why we use sealed connections on every joint rather than the friction-fit couplers retail strands ship with. When we do get a service call, the fix is usually fast because we already know where the vulnerable points on your house are.
Removal is scheduled in January, not left for you to request. Crews take the display down carefully, inspect every strand, and haul it all away.
Most strand damage happens in bad storage rather than on the roof, so this step meaningfully extends product life. It also means nothing lives in your rafters and there is no untangling session next October. See how the annual calendar works.
For properties that want lighting working more than six weeks a year, permanent year-round lighting installs once into the roofline, hides in daylight, and reprograms by app for any holiday, season, or event.
Downtown Arlington Heights businesses like it because it removes the annual install and takedown cost permanently. Homeowners like it for security and curb appeal the rest of the year. Read what permanent lighting costs, then get a free consultation.
