Christmas Light Installation in Palatine, IL

Palatine's hometown holiday lighting company. We design, install, maintain, take down, and store custom Christmas lighting, and we install app-controlled permanent roofline lighting, for our neighbors across Palatine, from Winston Park to Pepper Tree Farms.

The Unique Charm of Palatine

Palatine is our hometown. Hanging Lights Club is based right here in Palatine, so when you call us, you are hiring a local crew that drives these streets every day, not a franchise dispatching from across the city. We know the deep rooflines of Plum Grove Estates, the mature trees near Deer Grove Forest Preserve, the classic homes around downtown Palatine and the Metra station, and everything in between. Our team can typically visit a Palatine home for an in-person consultation within days, and if your lights ever need a service call during the season, help is minutes away. We love contributing to the local character of Palatine with our beautiful lighting designs, whether seasonal or permanent.

Our Services in Palatine

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

Residential Holiday Lighting

From two-story colonials near Twin Lakes to ranches and split-levels in Willow Wood and Winston Park, we design lighting that fits Palatine homes we know street by street. Every residential package is all-inclusive: custom design, professional install, mid-season maintenance, takedown, and storage.

Commercial Holiday Lighting

Downtown Palatine restaurants, offices along Northwest Highway, and storefronts near the Metra station all compete for evening attention. Professional commercial lighting makes your business the bright spot on the block during the season your customers are out the most.

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.

Founded around a railway station, and still shaped by it

Palatine was founded in 1866 around a stop on the new Chicago and North Western Railway, and the Union Pacific Northwest line still runs through the middle of it. The downtown rebuilt around that station from 1999 onward, which is why the blocks nearest the platform are newer than the village around them while the George Clayson House, built in 1873, still stands as the oldest thing downtown. For a business near the tracks that history is practical rather than sentimental: your customers arrive on foot, in the dark, from a fixed point, and the walk from the platform is the display.

What a Palatine install costs

Seasonal lighting for an average house starts at $799 and up, depending on the complexity, height and access of the job. Across 14 square miles Palatine holds most housing types in this part of the county, so the range is wide. A straightforward two story with a clean roofline sits at the starting number. The deeper rooflines out toward Plum Grove and the larger lots near Deer Grove carry more footage. Being our home village, we quote and service Palatine faster than anywhere else we work, because the truck is already here. We quote the whole job after we walk the roofline, never off a rate card or a square footage table.

    These Christmas string lights were exactly what I was looking for, they are nicely spaced apart and give off a nice warm glow. It really looks good and adds a great ambiance. I was really impressed with the "Hanging Lights Club "they are professional and dedicated with their job. It was cold that day when they put the Christmas lights and they dont stop until they did not see the final outcome of their work.They are amazing and spectacular.I will recommend "Hanging Lights Club". If you are like us and could not wait until Christmas came around every year, then you are more likely to want to re-create that Holiday feeling which you can do by hanging Christmas Lights up.Imagine that joyful feeling you will get as you drive home each day to see your home beautifully lit up with Christmas Joy.

    We hired Hanging Lights Club last year to set up lights for Diwali. They did such an amazing job that we called them again this year. This time we upgraded to color changing lights so we can use them for other holidays like Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. The team was professional and friendly. I really loved how the set up turned out for us this year!
