Why Ignoring Holiday Lighting Costs More Than You Think

Skipping professional installation may sound like a way to save money, but it often leads to wasted weekends, broken bulbs, and safety risks from ladders and rooftops. Poorly installed lights can also damage shingles, gutters, or landscaping. What this really means is that what starts as a DIY project can turn into a bigger expense than hiring experts in the first place. To see why professional help makes sense, read why professional outdoor lighting beats DIY.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our holiday light rental and installation packages start at $1000 for residential projects. This includes everything: professional-grade LED lights, installation, removal after the season, and storage until next year. Costs vary depending on house size, roofline complexity, and how elaborate you want your display. Larger homes or properties with multiple trees and landscaping features may run higher, while smaller, simpler jobs stay closer to the minimum. The big advantage is that you don’t have to purchase, maintain, or store any lights yourself. For more details, check our FAQ section.

No. Every package we offer is all-inclusive. We supply commercial-quality LED lights that are designed to last and withstand Minnesota’s cold, snowy winters. These lights are brighter and more durable than what you’ll find in retail stores. Since they’re rentals, you never need to worry about replacing them or figuring out where to store them once the holidays are over.

If a bulb burns out or a strand comes loose, just give us a call. Our team provides full maintenance throughout the season at no extra cost. We’ll stop by, fix the issue, and make sure your display is glowing again quickly. Unlike DIY setups, you won’t be left troubleshooting broken strands in freezing temperatures.

Yes. While we’re based in Shorewood, our team regularly installs holiday lighting across the Minneapolis metro. Common service areas include Chanhassen, Minnetonka, Eden Prairie, Edina, Victoria, Chaska, and surrounding zip codes such as 55331, 55347, 55437, 55438, 55386, 55375, and 55387. If you’re near the Twin Cities and want professional holiday lights, we’ve likely got you covered.

Yes. Our team schedules takedowns after the season ends, typically starting in January. Once removed, we safely store the lights until the following year. You never have to worry about tangled wires, broken bulbs, or finding storage space in your garage or basement.

Absolutely. All of our rental lights are high-quality LEDs. They use a fraction of the electricity of traditional incandescent lights, which means lower energy bills during the holiday season. LEDs also last longer and perform better in cold weather. Learn more about saving money with energy-efficient outdoor lighting.

Yes. In addition to residential projects, we install lights for commercial holiday lighting projects, homeowners’ associations, and large-scale displays. Although these projects may take a few days instead of one, we have the team and equipment to complete them safely and efficiently.

We love LIT outdoor lighting for our Christmas lights. Jonathon does an incredible job. The lights were installed perfectly and when the tree pulled down some of the lights during a particularly windy evening, they were out next day to rehang. We recommend LIT and Jonathon.

I have hired Jonathon to install a variety of lights in both the front and back of my house. In addition he was helpful with choosing light fixtures, some of which are made by a local Craftsman that Jonathon has access to. He has always done great work but in a world where customer service is no longer prioritized by many big and small companies, Jonathon stands alone. No matter the issue he has always stood behind his work and products. I highly recommend him - you will not go wrong.

We loved working with Jonathan and appreciated his knowledge in lighting up our backyard. I knew the feeling I wanted for our landscape lighting, but I wasn’t sure what the end product should look like – Jonathan was so great at working with our vision and making the dream come to life. I wanted to be able to appreciate our backyard during the darker winter months, but in the meantime it has completely transformed how we’ve used our deck this summer. With the trees, rock wall, and decorative cabin lit up, we can appreciate our full backyard at night. So happy with the end product and we look forward to doing our front yard someday!

Jonathon was a great listener and communicator when adding lighting to our new deck. We put significant investment and thought into our new deck, and I thought Jonathon really understood the perfecting touch that added lighting would have as we enjoyed the space into the evening hours. He was able to suggest some ideas and stay within our budget. As we have needed adjustments since then, he’s been responsive and made sure we can continue to enjoy the space. Outdoor light can add a magical touch! I would highly recommend Lit Outdoor Lighting Company!

We had an excellent experience with Jon! We were very particular about our landscape lighting design, from the layout to the actual lights (color, style, you name it) and Jon was super helpful in guiding us through our options and pricing. Installation was clean and straightforward and we love the convenience of the timer and all of the optional settings. Jon provides prompt maintenance too -- we've had a few knocked over by our dogs and he got them right back up and working in no time! We highly recommend his services!

Jon reached out to me in late winter to propose a service call to ensure my outdoor lights were functioning properly - just as I was realizing some of my lights were not working. As we agreed, he followed up to schedule an appointment in April, showed up on time, and took care of a number of issues at a reasonable cost. I will gladly use his services again!

Jonathon is a master at his craft! Highly recommend LIT if you are looking to take your landscaping and yard to the next level.

We've been working with Jonathan, the owner of LIT Outdoor Lighting Company for over 10 years—and we couldn't be happier with the results. From day one, Jonathan has been incredibly responsive, professional, and detail-oriented. He and his team consistently deliver high-quality, low-voltage lighting solutions that enhance the beauty, safety, and overall ambiance of our home. What sets LIT apart is not just the quality of their work, but the reliability of their service. They're always prompt, communicate clearly, and follow through without fail. Jonathan has a great eye for design and continually helps us think through how to improve and expand our outdoor lighting over time. Their pricing is fair and clearly reflects the value of the work they do—exceptional craftsmanship, premium products, and service that lasts. In a world where it's hard to find consistent, trustworthy partners, Jonathan and LIT stand out as true professionals. Highly recommended!
