The Unique Charm of Glen Ellyn
Glen Ellyn incorporated on 10 May 1892 and now holds about 28,846 people, roughly 24 miles west of downtown Chicago. Lake Ellyn, which gives the village half its character, is not natural: it was created in 1889 when village president Thomas Hill and businessman Philo Stacy dammed the waterway, and the boathouse still anchors the park around it. Stacy's Tavern, built in 1846, still stands at Geneva Road and Main Street and predates the village by nearly fifty years. The Metra station sits at 551 Crescent Boulevard in the heart of downtown, 22.4 miles out on the Union Pacific West line, with the Main Street Historic District beside it. College of DuPage is the largest employer at roughly 3,800 people, and the park district keeps 30 parks.
Our Services in Glen Ellyn
From magical Christmas displays to permanent architectural lighting, we have professional solutions for every property and every season.
Residential Holiday Lighting
The blocks around Lake Ellyn hold older houses with real roof detail, while the newer sections run to longer simpler lines, so method changes by street rather than by budget. Older homes get runs cut to each gable, dormer and porch face with clips sized to existing trim. Newer builds get consistent spacing across an unbroken line. Every residential package is all inclusive: custom design, install, mid season maintenance, takedown and storage.
Commercial Holiday Lighting
Downtown Glen Ellyn is built around the Crescent Boulevard platform inside the Main Street Historic District, so its customers arrive on foot and in the dark through the winter. Outlining a storefront and its top edge is what turns a walk to the car into a stop.
Permanent roofline lighting in Glen Ellyn
On a lake facing home, a permanent system lights the elevation Lake Ellyn reflects every night of the year, not only in December. The newer sections with longer, simpler lines are the easiest fit. On the older houses around the lake we check the roof detail and trim first, because permanent track is fastened to the house. Colors and schedules change 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 house on the lake is lit twice
Lake Ellyn does something for a lighting plan that a lawn cannot: still water reflects the whole elevation back, so a house facing the lake effectively doubles its display, and any flaw doubles with it. A gap in a run, a bulb out, a line that dips between clips all appear twice. On lake facing properties we tighten clip intervals, balance the elevation so the reflection reads as deliberate rather than accidental, and check the install from the far side of the water rather than only from the driveway.
What a Glen Ellyn install costs
Seasonal lighting for an average house starts at $799 and up, depending on the complexity, height and access of the job. The older streets near Lake Ellyn and the historic district sit above it, because porches, dormers and bay windows add footage and need every run cut to fit. Newer sections toward the edges of the village tend to land at the starting number on simpler rooflines. 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!

They did an excellent job!! Very professional installing lights on my roof, carefully putting each lights on my gutter. The wirings are neat and clean I don’t see any cluttered wirings, I liked the combinations of the lights the warm and red lights. Very precised on where they cut the connections, convenient to me with the timer it wil go on and off on my desired time. I would highly recommend them to my friends, neighbors, and family specially in this holiday season.
