Christmas Light Installation in Naperville, IL

Custom Christmas lighting and permanent roofline lighting for Naperville, from the 573 building historic district downtown to the newer subdivisions out toward Route 59.

The Unique Charm of Naperville

Joseph Naper founded the settlement in 1831, it incorporated as a village in 1857 and as a city in 1890, and it is now the fourth most populous city in Illinois with about 149,540 residents. That scale means two very different lighting jobs inside one city. Downtown holds the Naperville Historic District, 573 buildings listed on the National Register since September 1977, along with Naper Settlement, the 1.75 mile Riverwalk begun in 1981 on the West Branch of the DuPage River, and North Central College, which has been here since 1870. West of that, the subdivisions built out toward the Route 59 corridor are newer, larger and far more uniform. Two Metra stations serve the city, the main Naperville station and Route 59. We love contributing to the local character of Naperville with our beautiful lighting designs, whether seasonal or permanent.

Our Services in Naperville

From magical Christmas displays to permanent architectural lighting, we have professional solutions for every property and every season.

Residential Holiday Lighting

The two halves of Naperville need different work. A house in the historic district gets every run cut to fit the individual gable, dormer and porch face, with clips sized to original trim and no fasteners into old wood. A newer build west of downtown gets consistent spacing across a long clean roofline, which reads best when the line is unbroken. Every residential package is all inclusive: custom design, install, mid season maintenance, takedown and storage.

Commercial Holiday Lighting

Downtown Naperville and the Riverwalk draw evening foot traffic through December in a way few suburban downtowns manage. For businesses along Jefferson Street and Chicago Avenue, an outlined top edge and a lit entry read at walking distance and hold up against a very bright block.

Permanent Lighting Installation

Transform your outdoor spaces with professional permanent lighting installations. Enhance ambiance, security, and property value year-round with invisible tracks and smart app control.

Patio & Bistro Lighting

Bistro strings over patios, pergolas and decks, hung on proper catenary with dimmable warm white bulbs. The one install that earns its keep from spring through fall rather than only in December.

The historic district and the Route 59 subdivisions are different jobs

573 buildings carry National Register listing downtown, and the practical consequence is that almost nothing there takes a standard prefabricated length. Gables, dormers, porch roofs and bays each get measured and cut separately, and the trim is old enough that fasteners are out of the question. Ten minutes west, a subdivision house off Route 59 presents the opposite problem: a long uninterrupted roofline where any inconsistency in spacing, or any sag between clips, is immediately obvious because there is nothing to break the eye. Same crew, same day, two different standards of what good looks like.

What a Naperville install costs

Seasonal lighting for an average house starts at $799 and up, depending on the complexity, height and access of the job. Naperville has the widest internal spread of any city we cover, for the same reason it has the widest range of housing. A newer two story near Route 59 with a simple roofline sits at the starting number. A historic district house with several gable faces, a wraparound porch and dormers can carry twice the footage at the same square footage. We quote the whole job after we walk the roofline, never off a rate card or a square footage table.
