The Unique Charm of Arlington Heights
Arlington Heights is the next village east of our Palatine base, on the same Union Pacific Northwest line, and it is the densest town in our northwest service area. It carries two Metra stations, Arlington Heights and Arlington Park, which is unusual and which shapes the place: a genuine walkable downtown around Dunton and Vail with mid rise buildings, the Metropolis Performing Arts Center and the Memorial Library, then mile after mile of postwar single family blocks off Arlington Heights Road, Euclid, Central and Kennicott. Add Lake Arlington, a 50 acre lake inside a 93 acre park, and the Arlington Park site now being redeveloped, and you have a town in visible transition.
Our Services in Arlington Heights
From magical Christmas displays to permanent architectural lighting, we have professional solutions for every property and every season.
Residential Holiday Lighting
The postwar grid here means split levels, ranches and two story colonials on tidy lots where neighbors can see every detail from the sidewalk. That rewards precision: even bulb spacing, straight runs, clean corners, and no visible cords. Design, install, mid season maintenance, takedown and storage are included in every residential package.
Commercial Holiday Lighting
Two Metra stations mean two waves of evening foot traffic, and downtown Arlington Heights competes hard for it. Lighting the facade and the entry of a restaurant or shop near Dunton Avenue is the cheapest visibility you can buy in the one month people are already out walking after dark.
Permanent roofline lighting in Arlington Heights
On the split levels, ranches and two story colonials of the postwar grid, neighbors see a permanent roofline from the sidewalk, so the track has to be straight, the corners clean and no wire visible. It mounts tight under the eave and nearly disappears by day. At night it runs warm white or any color you pick from your phone, and there is no ladder work next November. Permanent systems start around $3,000 for a typical roofline. If you would rather keep it seasonal, color changing RGBW C9 lights start around $1,400 and cover Halloween through Christmas from one October install.
Sidewalk distance changes the details
This is a town where people walk past your house rather than drive by at 40 miles an hour, and that flips the priorities. On close viewing lots, sloppy spacing, mismatched bulb color temperatures and an extension cord across a porch roof are all visible. We cut every strand to the run, match color temperature across the whole house including any wreaths and garland, and route power to the least visible outlet. On the older blocks near downtown we also check gutter condition before hanging, because a 1950s gutter line is not always ready to carry clips.
Arlington Heights pricing
Seasonal lighting starts at $799 and up, depending on the complexity, height and access of the job, and the typical Arlington Heights house lands closer to that starting point than the estate towns north of here. A single story ranch with a 90 to 120 foot roofline is a straightforward install. Costs climb with second story access, dormers, and any tree or landscape lighting. Because we are one town over, in season service calls here are quick, which is part of what you are buying.

Hanging Lights Club did an absolutely great job installing our new permanent lights. We had previously used them for our Christmas lights.After such a great experience, we decided to switch with permanent lighting. They are honest, professional and thorough with their work. It’s rare these days to find a company that you could trust and they exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend them!

Good people, good product!
- Olga I.Yelp★★★★★
We used Hanging Lights Club for both a gutters cleaning and a Christmas lights decoration. We were very happy with the company's work on both projects. The scheduling was super easy and everything was explained ahead of time. The lights look great. A few of our neighbors have complemented us on the holiday lights displayed on our house. We would highly recommend Hanging Lights Club to others.
