The Unique Charm of Palatine
Palatine is our hometown. Hanging Lights Club is based right here in Palatine, so when you call us, you are hiring a local crew that drives these streets every day, not a franchise dispatching from across the city. We know the deep rooflines of Plum Grove Estates, the mature trees near Deer Grove Forest Preserve, the classic homes around downtown Palatine and the Metra station, and everything in between. Our team can typically visit a Palatine home for an in-person consultation within days, and if your lights ever need a service call during the season, help is minutes away.
Our Services in Palatine
From magical Christmas displays to permanent architectural lighting, we have professional solutions for every property and every season.
Residential Holiday Lighting
From two-story colonials near Twin Lakes to ranches and split-levels in Willow Wood and Winston Park, we design lighting that fits Palatine homes we know street by street. Every residential package is all-inclusive: custom design, professional install, mid-season maintenance, takedown, and storage.
Commercial Holiday Lighting
Downtown Palatine restaurants, offices along Northwest Highway, and storefronts near the Metra station all compete for evening attention. Professional commercial lighting makes your business the bright spot on the block during the season your customers are out the most.
Permanent roofline lighting in Palatine
Palatine is home, so a permanent system here gets the shortest drive of anywhere we work, for the install and for any service after it. The colonials near Twin Lakes and the ranches and split levels in Willow Wood and Winston Park all take a clean track under the eave that stays up all year. It runs warm white most nights and switches to color for holidays and game days 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.


Founded around a railway station, and still shaped by it
Palatine was founded in 1866 around a stop on the new Chicago and North Western Railway, and the Union Pacific Northwest line still runs through the middle of it. The downtown rebuilt around that station from 1999 onward, which is why the blocks nearest the platform are newer than the village around them while the George Clayson House, built in 1873, still stands as the oldest thing downtown. For a business near the tracks that history is practical rather than sentimental: your customers arrive on foot, in the dark, from a fixed point, and the walk from the platform is the display.
What a Palatine install costs
Seasonal lighting for an average house starts at $799 and up, depending on the complexity, height and access of the job. Across 14 square miles Palatine holds most housing types in this part of the county, so the range is wide. A straightforward two story with a clean roofline sits at the starting number. The deeper rooflines out toward Plum Grove and the larger lots near Deer Grove carry more footage. Being our home village, we quote and service Palatine faster than anywhere else we work, because the truck is already here. We quote the whole job after we walk the roofline, never off a rate card or a square footage table.
