The Unique Charm of Deerfield

Horace Lamb and Jacob Cadwell settled Deerfield in 1835 and the village incorporated in 1903 with a population in the low 400s. It now holds about 19,196 people across 5.55 square miles in 7,436 housing units. Two Metra stations serve it, Deerfield and Lake Cook Road, both on the Milwaukee District North line, and that second station name points at what makes the village unusual: the Lake Cook corridor is one of the densest corporate strips in the north suburbs. Walgreens Boots Alliance employs around 5,000 people here, Baxter Healthcare about 1,900, with Fortune Brands, CF Industries and Essendant alongside them. Deerfield Road, Lake Cook Road, Route 43 and two interstates carry the traffic.

Our Services in Deerfield

From magical Christmas displays to permanent architectural lighting, we have professional solutions for every property and every season.

Residential Holiday Lighting

Deerfield's housing is mostly postwar and later, which usually means long clean rooflines rather than heavy ornament. That sounds easier and is actually less forgiving: with nothing to break the eye, any inconsistency in spacing or any sag between clips shows immediately. We set consistent intervals and keep the line unbroken across the full run. Every residential package is all inclusive: custom design, install, mid season maintenance, takedown and storage.

Commercial Holiday Lighting

The Lake Cook Road corridor is office campus territory, seen from a six lane road or across a parking field rather than from a sidewalk. We run the roof edge as a single continuous line to give a long low building a defined top, and pick up the entry canopy so arrival reads separately.

Permanent Lighting Installation

A low profile track under the roofline that stays up all year. Warm white for everyday, any color for holidays and game days, all from your phone.

Patio & Bistro Lighting

Bistro strings over patios, pergolas and decks, hung on proper catenary with dimmable warm white bulbs. The one install that earns its keep from spring through fall rather than only in December.

Permanent roofline lighting in Deerfield

Deerfield's long, clean postwar rooflines are close to ideal for permanent lighting. With no heavy ornament to work around, the track runs one unbroken line under the eave, and the evenly spaced lights inside it never sag or drift, which is exactly what a plain roofline demands. It stays up all year 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.

How permanent lighting works

Two stations, and the corridor between them

Having both a downtown station and a corporate station changes who sees what. The blocks around the Deerfield station are walked through by residents coming home in the dark from November onward. The Lake Cook Road station serves tens of thousands of people who work here and do not live here, and they see the corridor buildings twice a day at exactly the hours when December is darkest. If you occupy a building on that corridor, the commuting audience is larger than your customer list and it is looking at your roofline whether you light it or not.

What a Deerfield install costs

Seasonal lighting for an average house starts at $799 and up, depending on the complexity, height and access of the job. Deerfield's residential work clusters close to that number, because the postwar and later housing stock runs to straightforward rooflines and moderate frontages. Commercial work along Lake Cook Road is quoted on a different basis: a single office elevation can carry more linear footage than several houses, and campuses are quoted per building. We quote the whole job after we walk the roofline, never off a rate card or a square footage table.
