Tailored Holiday Lighting in Loudoun County, Virginia
Loudoun County is a place where data centers and corporate campuses meet centuries-old villages and horse farms on rolling hills. Lights Around designs holiday lighting that meets the needs of both worlds. We illuminate sprawling vineyards and equestrian estates with understated elegance, create modern, eye-catching Christmas light displays for suburban homes, and handle corporate and commercial lighting across the tech corridor.
Estates, Wineries & Corporate Campuses Lit Properly
Loudoun asks more of a lighting company than most places do. A Middleburg estate with a quarter-mile of fence line, a Leesburg townhome inside the historic overlay, an Ashburn corporate campus that needs the install finished before Monday’s traffic these are different jobs, and a single ladder and a staple gun won’t cover any of them.
Lights Around designs, installs, maintains and removes professional Christmas light displays across Ashburn, Leesburg, Sterling, Purcellville, Middleburg and the surrounding county. Everything we hang is commercial-grade LED the same roof light packages and tree wrapping we run on properties from Lynchburg to Fairfax.
Where We Install Across Loudoun County
We’re on rooflines across the county every November, and each corner of it wants something different.
Ashburn & Brambleton — newer builds with clean, tall rooflines that carry a bold single-color run beautifully. Also where most of our corporate campus work sits, given the data center corridor.
Leesburg — the historic overlay downtown needs a careful hand and non-penetrating fixings; the newer subdivisions north of town don’t. We quote them differently.
Sterling & Cascades — dense, walkable streets where a well-lit house genuinely sets the tone for the whole block.
Purcellville & Round Hill — deeper lots and mature trees, where tree wrapping is what makes a property visible from the road.
Middleburg & the hunt country — estate work: fence lines, allées, gate posts, barns and long drives. This is where our lift equipment and crew depth actually matter.

Loudoun County Christmas Light Installation Pricing
Most companies in this market won’t put a number on a page. We’d rather you know up front.
Residential roofline packages start at $940 and scale through our Elf, Rudolph, Santa and North Pole tiers to around $3,200 for large multi-gable homes. Tree wrapping runs $150 to $1,475 by height and species. Wreaths, garland, pillar wraps and window lights fall between $75 and $400. Estate and commercial work is quoted on site, because a fence line and a data center entrance aren’t priced from a table.
Every quote includes design, installation, materials, in-season service, takedown and storage. Nationally, removal alone runs $100–$400 as a separate charge — ours isn’t separate. Full Christmas light packages and pricing are here, or call (434) 333-6445 for a real number.
Permanent Christmas & Architectural Lighting in Loudoun
A permanent system tucks into your roofline trim and vanishes in daylight. One install covers every holiday: warm white for Christmas, orange for Halloween, red and white for game days, red-white-blue for the Fourth of July all from your phone, no ladder, no crew, no storage bins in the garage.
For Loudoun’s larger homes, where a seasonal install is a real annual expense, the math gets compelling quickly. The fixtures are rated for roughly 50,000 hours, which is a couple of decades of holiday seasons.
Systems start around $1,750 for color-changing C9 roof lights and run through patio runs, light bars and RGB spheres. See specs and pricing on our permanent lighting page, or have us price both options side by side at your design walk
Commercial & Corporate Holiday Lighting in Loudoun
Loudoun’s commercial work has its own rhythm: certificates of insurance before anyone’s on site, install windows that don’t disrupt trading hours or shift changes, and a crew that can respond within a day when something fails in the middle of December.
We light retail centers, office and data center campuses, municipal buildings, hotels and wineries from a single illuminated entrance to full programs with tower trees, light curtains and tunnel structures. Explore our commercial lighting solutions or the complete lighting inventory.
Loudoun’s wineries and estate venues are a category of their own. If you’re hosting rather than decorating, we also handle wedding lighting and event and party lighting bistro canopies, uplighting, monogram projection and dance floor washes. Our guide to custom event lighting in Virginia covers what to plan for.
Loudoun Historic Districts, Permits & Safety Standards
Parts of Loudoun have rules about what you can attach to a building, and they’re worth knowing before a crew arrives. Downtown Leesburg sits inside the Old & Historic District (H-1 overlay), where exterior alterations are reviewed by the Board of Architectural Review through a Certificate of Appropriateness.
Seasonal displays are usually straightforward, because temporary decorations don’t alter a structure. Permanent roofline systems are the ones to check. Outside the towns, permanent electrical work falls under Loudoun County’s building codes and may require an electrical permit. We’ll tell you at the design stage which category your project falls into, and we don’t start work that hasn’t cleared it.
Are Christmas lights a fire hazard?
They can be. The U.S. Fire Administration notes that nearly one-third of home Christmas tree fires start with an electrical problem, and its guidance is direct inspect every strand before it goes up, discard anything with frayed or pinched wire, and never exceed the manufacturer’s limit on connected strands. We follow those rules on every job, which is why we replace damaged product rather than repair it.
The ladder is the other half of the risk. OSHA’s fall protection standards exist because December rooflines wet, pitched, often slate or standing seam on Loudoun’s older properties are unforgiving. Our installers are trained, equipped and insured for that work.
Do Christmas lights use a lot of electricity?
Incandescent strands do. LEDs don’t. ENERGY STAR certified light strings use roughly 92% less energy than incandescent and last up to ten times longer, with no filaments or glass to break. They also run cool to the touch, which matters on dry greenery and painted timber. On a large estate display that’s the difference between a December bill you notice and one you don’t — and it’s why our permanent LED systems are practical to run year-round.
Loudoun County Christmas Light Installation FAQs
How much does Christmas light installation cost in Loudoun County?
Residential packages start at $940 and run to about $3,200 for large multi-gable homes; tree wrapping is $150–$1,475 by height. Nationally the range is $5–$12 per linear foot. Estate and commercial properties are quoted on site. Full package details here.
Will you hang lights I already own?
Generally no, and here’s the honest reason: we can’t warranty product we didn’t supply, and retail strands rarely survive a full season on an exposed Loudoun roofline. Our packages include commercial-grade C9 LED bulbs, and if one fails mid-season we replace it at no cost.
How are your lights different from store-bought?
Commercial-grade C9 LEDs on custom-cut runs measured to your roofline — no swagged extension cords, no visible joins, no gaps where a strand ran short. They’re rated for roughly 50,000 hours against a season or two for retail product.
How many feet of lights do I need for my house?
Measure the rooflines you want traced — usually the front gutter line plus any gables facing the street. A typical two-story Ashburn colonial runs 120–180 feet; a Middleburg estate with wings and outbuildings can exceed 600. We measure at the design walk so you’re not guessing.
How early should I book?
September or October. We design and pre-build through the fall and install on a scheduled route from early November, and Loudoun dates fill before Thanksgiving most years. Call anyway in December cancellations happen.
Do you take the lights down?
Yes, and it’s included. Takedown happens in January on a scheduled route, and your display is stored climate-controlled until next season. Removal is commonly billed as a $100–$400 extra elsewhere not here.
Can you light trees, fence lines and larger outdoor features?
That’s most of our Loudoun work. Tree wrapping up to 30 feet, fence line and allée runs, gate posts, barns, pergolas and vineyard rows. See examples in our photo gallery.
Which Loudoun towns do you serve?
Ashburn, Brambleton, Leesburg, Sterling, Cascades, Purcellville, Round Hill, Middleburg, Hamilton, Lovettsville and the surrounding county — plus Fairfax County next door.
