From an HLI customer

“So extremely happy with their service. Ariana was very communicative and accommodating and made sure we were on the same page about lighting design. I just couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. It is so well worth it!”

  • Professional lighting and décor supplied for the installation
  • Careful installation with clean lines and considered placement
  • In-season support if an element needs attention
  • Removal and storage handled after the holidays

How Our Process Works

Bringing Your Holiday Lighting Vision to Life

From the first inquiry to final removal, every step is handled by one accountable team.

  1. Inquiry

    Tell us about the property, your goals, timeline, and working budget so we can prepare for a useful first conversation.

  2. Design & Pricing

    We shape the display around the architecture and site conditions, then provide a clear proposal for the full seasonal service.

  3. Installation

    Our trained team supplies and installs the lighting and décor with careful placement, commercial-grade materials, and automatic timers.

  4. Maintenance

    In-season service is included. If an element needs attention, we return to keep the installation looking its best.

  5. Removal & Storage

    After the season, we remove the installation, organize the materials, and prepare the program for an easier return next year.

Capabilities

Built around the property, not a package template

Move through the details that shape each design. Every element is selected for the architecture, operating needs, and experience the property should create.

A useful first conversation

Bring your home and priorities into focus

You can start with a few clear priorities. Share the details below to help HLI discuss coverage, access, timing and a proposal that fits your property.

  • Property address and current photos from the main viewing angles
  • The rooflines, trees, entry and landscape areas that matter most
  • Preferred colors, inspiration and the closest planning range
  • Preferred completion and removal dates, plus gate or access details

Plan your residential lighting season

What does full-service residential holiday lighting include

HLI plans the display around your home, supplies professional lighting and décor for the agreed installation, installs it, provides in-season support, and handles removal and storage after the holidays. The proposal confirms the areas, materials and seasonal responsibilities included in your project. A complete design can bring rooflines, windows, entrances, trees and landscape together rather than treating each feature as a separate purchase.

How much should I budget for professional Christmas lights

HLI uses three published planning ranges: Premium · $3,000–$8,000; Luxury · $8,000–$12,000; Luxury Extravagant · $15,000+. Choose the closest starting point for the result you want. These are planning ranges rather than fixed packages; coverage, building height, trees, décor, access and the approved design determine the final proposal. Projects between the ranges can also be discussed with HLI.

Can the design include more than the roofline

Yes. HLI can plan lighting for trees, hedges, windows, columns, entrances and landscape areas, along with greenery and decorative focal points. Identify the parts of your property that matter most and the views you want to emphasize. The design and proposal then establish which areas belong in the first scope and which are optional additions.

When should I request an installation date

Start the conversation early enough to discuss the design, property access, materials and your preferred installation window. Mention a party, travel date, neighborhood event or other deadline in the request. Sending an inquiry does not reserve a date; HLI confirms availability and the installation and removal schedule directly as the project is planned.

What should I prepare before requesting a residential quote

Have the installation address, a few current property photos, your preferred look, priority areas and a working budget range ready. Include the date you would like the display ready and any gates, restricted work windows or access details. If you have inspiration photos, explain the colors or features you like so the conversation can focus on a design that fits your own home.

What if I already own lights or holiday decorations

Describe existing items when you request the project, including anything you want the design team to consider. HLI's published service supplies professional lighting and décor for its installation. Confirm the suitability, installation responsibility, service coverage and storage of any existing items with HLI rather than assuming they are included in the proposal.

What happens if the installed display needs attention

In-season support is part of HLI's residential service. Contact the team with the installation address and a description or photo of the affected area so it can review what needs attention. Confirm service expectations and access arrangements when planning your installation.

How are removal and storage planned

Removal and storage are part of HLI's full-season residential service. Discuss the preferred takedown window, access and material handling before installation so those responsibilities are clear in the proposal. A recurring-season plan can build on the existing design, but changes, pricing and future installation dates should be confirmed with HLI each season.
