Holiday Light Service has been putting up lights across Southeast Michigan since 2003. You tell us what you picture. We plan the layout, measure every run, hang each strand in clean, even lines and come back for it after the holidays. No ladder for you. No tangled strands. No weekend lost on a cold roof.

How a season runs

Installs commonly run from October into early December, and takedown comes after the holidays. Booking earlier gives you more date options.

  1. Early fall

    Book early

    Early requests get the widest choice of install dates. It is also the easiest time to walk the property and plan a design without rushing.

  2. Before install day

    Design and estimate

    We look at the property, the power and the access, talk through the look you want and send a free estimate that spells out what is included.

  3. October to early December

    Installation

    Crews hang the display, check connections as they go and test everything before they leave. If weather moves your date, we let you know.

  4. Thanksgiving to New Year's

    In-season service

    If a section goes dark or a storm knocks something loose, call us and we will schedule a service visit.

  5. January

    Takedown

    After the holidays we take everything down with care, so the house goes back to normal for the rest of winter.

Storefronts, downtowns and entrances

Canopy trees wrapped in warm white along a downtown block, Northern Michigan.

Every December, downtowns and shopping centers compete for attention. We plan building outlines, tree wraps, canopy lighting, pole and lamppost decor and entrance displays, then install, service and remove them around your hours and your foot traffic.

Permanent lighting

The crew at work

Bucket trucks for the high limbs and peaks, careful hands for the details. This is how the lines stay straight.

  • Lighting Michigan since 2003

    Over two decades of hanging lights on homes, storefronts and downtown streets. We know how rooflines, gutters, trees and Michigan cold behave.

  • Bucket trucks for the high work

    Tall trees, steep peaks and building fronts are reached from the bucket wherever the property allows, instead of from a leaning ladder. That means cleaner lines and less time on the roof.

  • One company, start to finish

    Design, installation, in-season service and takedown all come from us. One call covers the whole season.

  • Designed for your property

    Every display is planned around the architecture, the trees and the view from the street. You get a layout made for your home, not a kit.
