The Unique Charm of Northbrook

Northbrook carries more corporate square footage than any other town we serve. Allstate anchors it with around 8,000 personnel, UL with about 2,000, and Barilla, Astellas, Bell Flavors and Fragrances and Crate and Barrel all headquarter here, alongside Northbrook Court and its 103 storefronts. That mix makes it our strongest commercial market and it changes what a season looks like: campus entrances, office frontages and retail all lighting up at once. Residentially it is postwar suburban, built out from the old farm village, with Techny annexed in 1989 south of Voltz Road. The Metra Milwaukee District North station sits on Shermer Road downtown, with Lake Cook Road station just over the Deerfield line.

Our Services in Northbrook

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

Residential Holiday Lighting

The postwar streets here are ranches, split levels and colonials on regular lots, which makes for clean, predictable installs and good looking results at sensible cost. Near Wood Oaks Green Park and Techny Prairie the lots run larger and the tree work becomes worth doing. Design, install, mid season maintenance, takedown and storage included.

Commercial Holiday Lighting

Office parks along Lake Cook Road, the Northbrook Court trade area and the Shermer Road downtown are three different commercial problems. Campus work is about entrances and approach roads, retail is about the storefront line, and downtown is about a continuous lit streetscape. We handle all three, on a schedule that keeps crews off your property during business hours.

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 Northbrook

Ranches, split levels and colonials on regular lots are the most straightforward permanent installs there are: reachable eaves, clean runs, and no ladder work every November after the first one. That makes the streets off Shermer Road a good fit for a system you set once and control from your phone, warm white most nights and color when the season calls for it. 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

Corporate campuses and the Lake Cook corridor

Commercial lighting on a corporate campus is a logistics job as much as a design job. Entrances, monument signage, approach drives and the main facade all need to read from a road people are driving past at speed, and the install has to happen without blocking a lot that fills at 8am. We schedule campus work early, stage from service drives, and specify commercial grade product on timers or app control so nothing needs a person walking out to a switch. Multi season contracts keep the same design going up correctly each year.

Northbrook pricing, home and business

Residential seasonal lighting starts at $799 and up, depending on the complexity, height and access of the job, and the regular postwar lots here mean many Northbrook homes sit close to that figure. Commercial is quoted per property on measured frontage, height and access, because a Lake Cook Road office entrance and a Shermer Road storefront have nothing in common except a calendar. Either way the quote follows a site visit and measured footage.
