Christmas Lights Without the Stress: How Professional Holiday Lighting Saves Your Season

The holidays should be about family, food and time together, not a weekend on a ladder in the cold. Every year we hear the same story from new customers: they spent a Saturday untangling lights, found half the strands dead, made three trips to the store, and ended up with a roofline that looked "fine."

There's a better way. Here's how letting All Around Town handle your Christmas lights and holiday lighting takes one of the most stressful chores of the season completely off your plate.

No ladders, no roofs, no risk

Every holiday season, thousands of people end up in the emergency room from decorating falls. Icy gutters, steep pitches and wobbly ladders are a bad mix. Our trained crews have the right equipment and do this every day, so you and your family stay safely on the ground.

No tangled Christmas lights or burned-out bulbs

Forget digging bins out of the basement and testing strand after strand. We bring commercial-grade lighting built to handle Iowa and Illinois winters: C9 roofline lights, mini lights for trees and shrubs, wreaths, garland and bows. It goes up looking right the first time.

A design that actually looks professional

Most DIY displays happen one strand at a time until the extension cords run out. Our design team starts with your home or business and plans the whole look first: rooflines, peaks, windows, trees, walkways and entryways. Pick classic warm white, bold multicolor, or a custom design. You approve it, and we take care of the rest. (Browse our Holiday Gallery and Package Examples for ideas.)

Your time back when it matters most

Between work, school programs, parties and travel, December is already full. A professional install gives you back the hours you would have spent hanging and removing lights, and you get to enjoy the display instead of dreading it.

Takedown and cleanup are included

The part nobody talks about is January: taking it all down in the cold and finding somewhere to put it. With All Around Town, takedown and cleanup are part of the service. When the season's over, we come back, remove everything carefully and leave your property clean.

Lights on by Thanksgiving

Book early and your home can be glowing before the first holiday gathering. Install dates fill up fast every fall, so the earlier you reserve your spot, the more flexibility you get on timing.

Homes and businesses alike

We light up private homes, storefronts, office buildings, banks, restaurants and HOA entrances. For businesses, a professional display draws customers in and shows your community you care, without asking your staff to climb a ladder. We schedule around your hours and can set lights for a single event or the whole season.
