The Unique Charm of Clarendon Hills
Clarendon Hills was founded by Henry Middaugh and incorporated in 1924, when fewer than 900 people lived here. It now holds about 8,702 across 1.82 square miles, roughly 18 miles southwest of Chicago at an elevation of 738 feet, which is high ground for DuPage County. The compactness is the defining feature: almost the whole village is within a walk of the Metra BNSF station, which runs between Aurora and Union Station. That produces a downtown with real evening foot traffic for its size, and residential blocks dense enough that a lit house is seen by neighbors on foot rather than only by passing cars.
Our Services in Clarendon Hills
From magical Christmas displays to permanent architectural lighting, we have professional solutions for every property and every season.
Residential Holiday Lighting
In a village this compact the houses are close enough together that consistency between neighbors matters more than it does on an acre lot. A sagging run or uneven spacing is visible from three houses away. We cut runs to each roof facet and set clip intervals tight enough that the line stays straight through a January thaw. Every residential package is all inclusive: custom design, install, mid season maintenance, takedown and storage.
Commercial Holiday Lighting
The business district sits at the station, and in December its customers are walking to and from trains in the dark. Outlining the top edge of a storefront gives the block a continuous line, which is what a walking commuter actually registers on the way past.
Permanent roofline lighting in Clarendon Hills
In a village this compact, a permanent roofline is judged against the house next door, so the track has to run dead straight and the light spacing has to be even from corner to corner. It mounts under the eave, stays put through every thaw, and switches between warm white and holiday colors from your phone. 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.


A village you can cross in twenty minutes
At 1.82 square miles Clarendon Hills is small enough that our crew works it as a single route rather than as scattered appointments, which is genuinely useful to a customer: service calls land faster, and a mid season fix does not wait for a truck to come back across three towns. It also means neighbors see each other's installs. More of our work here comes from the house across the street than from any advertisement, which is worth knowing if you are the first on your block to consider it.
What a Clarendon Hills install costs
Seasonal lighting for an average house starts at $799 and up, depending on the complexity, height and access of the job. Most of the village sits near that starting number, because the lots are modest and the rooflines are conventional. It moves up for the older houses near the station with porches, dormers and cut trim, where runs have to be measured and cut to fit rather than pulled from standard lengths. We quote the whole job after we walk the roofline, never off a rate card or a square footage table.

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!
