Done for you
Your Holidays in Arlington, Without the Ladder
December in Arlington goes fast. Between work, school concerts, travel and family coming in, the weekend you set aside for lights rarely happens. And when it does, it usually means a wobbly ladder, a box of half-working strands and a cold afternoon you will not get back.
That is where we come in. Our crew handles everything from the first measurement to the last clip in January. We bring commercial-grade C9 lights, fit them to your home, and test every run before we leave. If a section goes dark during the season, you call us and we fix it. When the holidays are over, we take it all down and store it until next year. You can see how the whole process works on our Christmas light installation page.
Neighborhoods we light
Holiday Lighting for Every Arlington Neighborhood
Arlington homes come in every shape, and each one lights up a little differently. We plan each design around the home in front of us, not a one-size template.
Clarendon and Ballston
Townhomes and row homes where a clean roofline and a lit front door make the whole block look sharp.
Lyon Park and Ashton Heights
Classic bungalows and Craftsman homes with deep porches and mature trees that are made for warm white lights.
Cherrydale and Maywood
Older homes with steep rooflines and character, where a professional crew with the right gear matters.
Shirlington and Fairlington
Townhome communities where neat, matching installs keep things tidy and HOA-friendly.
North Arlington
Larger single-family homes with long rooflines and big yards that can carry a full display.
Townhomes, condos & HOAs
Christmas Lights for Arlington Townhomes, Condos and HOA Communities
A lot of Arlington lives under HOA guidelines, and we know how to work within them. We use clip-on mounting, so there are no nails, screws or holes in your gutters, shingles or trim. We keep wiring tidy and out of sight, and we can match the color and style your community allows, whether that is classic warm white or a single accent color.
If your HOA needs to approve the design first, tell us when you book. We will describe exactly what goes where so you can send it in for approval with no guesswork.
Packages & pricing
Christmas Light Installation Packages and Prices in Arlington
No surprise invoices. Every package below includes design, installation, in-season service calls, takedown and storage. Trip costs are already built into the price.
Most Arlington townhomes fit the Elf or Rudolph package, while larger North Arlington homes often move up to Santa or North Pole. Not sure which is right? Send us a photo of your home and we will tell you. You can compare everything that comes with each tier on our Christmas light packages page.
Add-ons
Finish the Look: Trees, Wreaths and Garland
A lit roofline is the start. A wrapped tree or a glowing wreath on the front door is what makes people slow down as they walk by.
Tree wrapping, from $150
From small front-yard trees to tall evergreens. See sizes and pricing on our tree light installation page.
Wreaths and garland, $75 to $400
Including our 60-inch lit Christmas wreath for doors, gables and entryways.
Window and pillar lights
Simple touches that frame your porch and front windows.
For businesses
Commercial Christmas Lighting in Arlington County
Your storefront, office building or restaurant is often a customer’s first impression in December. We light Arlington businesses with the same care we bring to homes: rooflines, entryways, trees and window displays, installed outside of your busy hours whenever possible and removed on schedule after the season.
Property managers along the Wilson Boulevard and Columbia Pike corridors can bundle multiple buildings into one quote. Tell us what you have in mind and we will put together a plan.
