Christmas Light Installation in Barrington, IL
Custom Christmas lighting and app controlled permanent roofline lighting for Barrington, from the Victorian blocks of the downtown historic district to the wooded lots out toward Cuba and Ela townships.
The Unique Charm of Barrington
Barrington is one of the few villages we light that sits in two counties and four townships at once: Cook and Lake, across Barrington, Palatine, Cuba and Ela. That patchwork shows up in the housing stock. Around East Main Street, Park Avenue and Hough Street you get the late 19th century forms the village protects through its Historic Preservation Overlay District, Victorian, Victorian Gothic and Queen Anne, with steep gables, turrets, wraparound porches and cut trim that no straight run of C9 bulbs will ever follow. Push out from the Catlow Theater and Ice House Mall and the lots widen into mature oak and long setbacks. Our shop is one village over in Palatine township, so Barrington is a short run for our crews, not a franchise dispatch. We love contributing to the local character of Barrington with our beautiful lighting designs, whether seasonal or permanent.
Our Services in Barrington
From magical Christmas displays to permanent architectural lighting, we have professional solutions for every property and every season.
Residential Holiday Lighting
A Queen Anne turret near Langendorf Park and a 1970s colonial out past Citizens Park are two different installs. On the older homes we cut and fit every strand to the individual facet of the roofline and use clips sized to the existing trim, so nothing is screwed, nailed or stapled into original woodwork. Every residential package is all inclusive: custom design, install, mid season maintenance, takedown and storage.
Commercial Holiday Lighting
Downtown Barrington runs on evening foot traffic along East Main Street, Park Avenue and Hough Street, and in December that traffic happens after dark. Outlining your storefront turns a walk past the Catlow block into a reason to stop and come in.
Historic trim, and how we attach to it
The Historic Preservation Overlay District the village adopted in 2001 is the reason downtown Barrington still looks like Barrington, and it is also why we treat these homes differently. Original bargeboard, dentil trim and porch millwork on a house that has stood since the 1870s does not get a fastener driven into it. We hang from gutter lines and shingle edges with removable clips, we measure each gable face separately rather than running one length and hoping, and we bring the old wiring runs down inconspicuous corners instead of across a painted facade.
What a Barrington install costs
Seasonal lighting for an average house starts at $799 and up, depending on the complexity, height and access of the job. In practice Barrington splits into two price bands. A straightforward two story with a clean 100 foot roofline sits near that starting number. A Victorian with three gable faces, a turret, a porch roof and dormers can carry twice the linear footage of a modern build the same square footage, because the detail is the point of the house. We quote the whole job after we walk the roofline, never off a rate card or a square footage table.

I love how beautiful Hanging Lights Club decorated my home for Christmas. It looks so festive, they were very professional and detail oriented. Looking forward to using them again.
- Olga I.Yelp★★★★★
We used Hanging Lights Club for both a gutters cleaning and a Christmas lights decoration. We were very happy with the company's work on both projects. The scheduling was super easy and everything was explained ahead of time. The lights look great. A few of our neighbors have complemented us on the holiday lights displayed on our house. We would highly recommend Hanging Lights Club to others.

They installed Christmas lights for my parents, and the team was very professional. I really appreciate their focus on keeping homeowners safe from any potential injuries.
