Christmas Light Installation in Houston, TX

We design, hang, maintain and take down your holiday lights, so you skip the ladder and enjoy the season.

Houston Landscape Images (HLI) offers Christmas light installation in Houston from start to finish, so you skip the ladder and enjoy the season. We design the display, hang every strand, keep it working through the holidays, and take it all down when the season ends. Our family-run crew has been working on Houston-area homes for more than 30 years, and we do the work ourselves with no subcontractors.

What You Get With HLI Holiday Lighting:

  • A custom lighting design built around your home
  • No risky trips up the ladder or onto the roof
  • In-season fixes if a bulb or strand goes out
  • Takedown after the holidays, handled by the same crew

Professional Christmas Light Installation Service in Houston

Hanging your own lights takes a full weekend, a tall ladder and a lot of tangled strands. It is also risky. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports about 160 holiday decorating injuries a day during the season, and over 40% of them involve falls. A professional Christmas light installation service keeps you off the roof.

Every job starts with a walk around your property. We look at your rooflines, trees, outlets and any HOA guidelines, then plan a display that fits your home. Our own crew installs it, checks every strand, and sets timers so the lights come on by themselves each night. You get a clean, even display that looks sharp from the street all season.

FAQ

Christmas Light Installation FAQs

How much does Christmas light installation cost in Houston?

Most of our Houston jobs fall into three ranges. A basic roofline package on a simple one-story home runs about $500 to $1,200. A standard display with rooflines, gutters, windows and yard lighting on a larger or two-story home runs about $1,200 to $2,500. Full-property and commercial designs start around $2,500. Your price depends on the length of your rooflines, the height of the home, how many trees you want wrapped, and the type of lights. We walk your property first and give you a clear, itemized quote, so you know the cost before anything goes up.

When should I book Christmas light installation?

Book in September or October if you can. Searches for Christmas light installation in Houston jump in October and peak in November, and install dates fill up as Thanksgiving gets close. Booking early gives you more dates to pick from and more time to plan the design. If you call later in the season, reach out anyway. We will tell you honestly what dates we still have open.

Do you take the lights down after the holidays?

Yes. Takedown is part of our service. Once the season ends, our crew comes back, removes the lights and clips, and leaves your roofline and yard clean. Post-season removal is included in our Standard Holiday Display package, and our Custom designs can include off-season storage. Ask about takedown and storage for your home when we give you a quote, so it is all written into one plan.

Do you install Christmas lights for businesses?

Yes. We install holiday lighting for both homes and commercial properties in the Houston area. For businesses we can outline the building, wrap trees and light entries and walkways so customers can find you after dark. Larger commercial jobs usually fall into our Custom Christmas Designs range, which starts around $2,500.

Is it worth hiring a professional to hang Christmas lights?

For most homes, yes. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports about 160 holiday decorating injuries a day during the season, and over 40% of them involve falls. A professional crew brings the ladders, clips and timers, and knows how to work safely on a two-story roofline. You also get straight, evenly spaced lines, a plan that fits your power supply, and someone else handles takedown after the holidays.

What happens if a bulb or strand goes out during the season?

Call us. We service the displays we install through the holiday season. If a bulb burns out, a strand comes loose or a section stops working, we come back and fix it so your home stays bright until takedown. Storms and wind can knock things loose in Houston, so it helps to have the crew that hung the lights handle the repair.

Will Christmas lights damage my roof or gutters?

We use clips and safe attachment methods made for rooflines, gutters and eaves. Each strand is clipped and spaced by hand, so the lights sit straight and come off cleanly at takedown. Before we start, we look at your roof, trim and outlets so the plan fits your home and does not overload your circuits.
