What One EverLights Customer Says
seasonal or permanent?
Not sure which fits your home?

good questions
How Pricing Works
Every home is different, so every quote is custom — priced by your design: the size of your roofline, the elements you choose, and the detail involved. Your quote is free, it's one all inclusive number, and it never comes with obligation or pressure.
Do I need to buy any lights?
No. We provide commercial-grade lights and all materials as part of your service. You never buy, own, or store them — that's the whole point of all inclusive.
What if a bulb goes out mid-season?
Call or text us and we come fix it — free. In-season service is included in every display, all season long.
When do you install and take down?
Installs run through the fall so your home is glowing for the season, and takedown happens in January. We schedule both with you — you don't need to be home for either.
Will clips damage my roof or gutters?
No. We use roof-safe clips designed for shingles and gutters — no staples, no screws, no holes in your home.
How fast does the calendar fill?
Fast — this is our 11th season, and returning customers book their spots early. The sooner you request a quote, the better your choice of install dates.

our story
A Family Business, Eleven Seasons of Glow
Illini Holiday Lighting is family-owned and run by Mike — husband of 14 years, dad of three, and the guy who answers the phone when you call.
Started in 2008. Lighting up Christmas since 2015.
Mike started the company in 2008, and hung his first professional Christmas lights in 2015. Eleven seasons later, Illini Holiday Lighting is the longest-running Christmas light installation company in Central Illinois — and that didn't happen by accident.
It happened one roofline at a time: showing up when promised, designing displays that make people slow the car down, fixing a bulb before the homeowner even notices it's out, and taking everything down and storing it so customers never think about Christmas lights as work again.
That's the deal we've built our name on: luxury displays, all inclusive service, and a completely no hassle season — backed by a 4.9-star rating across 68 Google reviews and a whole lot of repeat customers who book us back year after year.
- Family-owned — Mike, married 14 years, raising 3 kids here in Central Illinois
- Company started 2008 — Christmas light specialists since 2015
- Our 11th season — the longest-running in Central Illinois
- Authorized EverLights dealer — for permanent roofline lighting
