You want your house to glow for the holidays. You do not want to climb a ladder, test every bulb, or store ten boxes in the garage. That is what a Christmas light hanging service is for. At Lights Around, we design the look, hang the lights, fix anything that stops working, take it all down in January and store it for next year.
This guide explains what a hanging service includes, how it works from the first photo to the last bulb, and where we work in Virginia. When you are ready, send us your details and we will send a free design and price.

What a Christmas Light Hanging Service Includes
Every Lights Around package covers the whole job, not just the hanging. You get the lights, a design made for your home, installation by a trained and insured crew, repairs during the season, takedown and storage. Our crews are trained in ladder safety, roof access, anchoring and electrical work, and we carry liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. See everything on our Christmas light installation page.

You do not buy lights, climb a ladder, or store anything.
What We Hang
We hang lights on almost every part of the front of your home. Most customers start with the roofline and add more over time. The Elf Package covers up to 75 feet from $940, the Rudolph Package covers up to 175 feet from $1,700, the Santa Package covers up to 275 feet from $2,500, and the North Pole Package covers up to 400 feet from $3,200. You do not need to measure. We do that for you.
Beyond the roofline, we wrap trees, hang wreaths and garland, light porch pillars, wrap shrubs, and line walkways with ground lights. For a walk around the house, read our zone-by-zone guide.
Rooflines and peaks
The clean line along your eaves and gables is where most homes start. See the roofline packages.
Trees
We wrap trunks and branches so trees glow. See tree light installation.
Pillars
Porch pillars wrapped from base to top. See pillar light wraps.
Shrubs and ground lights
Shrubs wrapped and walkways lined. See shrub lights.

Why Hire a Hanging Service Instead of Climbing Yourself
Hanging lights looks easy until you are on a ladder at the edge of a roof. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reported about 14,700 holiday decorating injuries treated in emergency rooms in one season, around 240 a day in November and December. Falls were the most common cause at 41 percent. The agency also recorded three deaths from ladder falls.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) explains why crews take ladders seriously: the base should sit one-quarter of the ladder’s working length from the wall, the top should extend three feet above the surface you are stepping onto, and you should keep three points of contact while climbing. Our crews work with this kind of training every day, so you can enjoy the lights without climbing up to hang them.
Efficient lights also help. The U.S. Department of Energy says LED light strands use 70 percent less energy than traditional incandescent strands.
What to Expect on Hanging Day
You do not need to be home. Our crew checks the roof for safety before climbing. A few things on your side make the day go smoothly:
- You do not need to be home
- Have working outdoor outlets near the front door or garage
- Trim bushes and trees before we arrive
- Our crew checks roof safety first
Note: if wind, rain or snow stops the work, we reschedule at the first available time. Lights do not need to be turned on until November if your install is early.
