How We Design

Designed like a scene — not a string of lights

A great display isn’t more lights. It’s better decisions. Every Pine & Glow design runs through four ideas before a single clip goes up.

1

Roofline first

The outline of your home carries the whole display. We map it before anything else, so the shape of the house does the talking.

2

One focal point

Every memorable display has a single anchor the eye finds first — one tree, one entryway, one moment — never everything shouting at once.

3

Layers from street to door

Foreground, midground, background. A display with depth reads like a scene from the curb; a flat one just reads like lights.

4

One color story

Warm white or full color — either can be stunning. The mistake is mixing moods, so we commit to one story across the whole property.

Tell us what you want the block to feel, and we’ll design from there.

See It On Your Home

Preview lights on your own photo

Upload a photo of your house, pick a style, and trace your roofline to preview the look. Your final design is confirmed free, on site.

Upload your house photo

A clear daylight photo, straight-on with the full roofline visible, works best.

Why Pine & Glow Lighting

The no-hassle way to do the holidays

Full-Service, Done For You

Design, lights, installation, maintenance and January takedown — one service, one crew, nothing for you to buy. Storage is available as a separate service — details on your free Zoom estimate call.

Commercial-Grade LED

Professional bulbs custom-cut to your roofline — brighter, tougher and far more reliable than store-bought strands.

You Never Touch a Ladder

Cold roofs, tangled strands and January takedown are our job now. You pour the cocoa and enjoy the glow.

Local Chicago Crew

Based in Chicago and serving surrounding areas — when a bulb goes out, help is a neighborhood away, not a call center.

Design Before Installation

Use “See It On Your Home” to sketch a direction on your own photo, then refine the exact design with us on your free Zoom estimate call.

Honest Free Estimates

We look at your home with you on a free Zoom call, discuss the scope and give you an exact price before you decide — no pressure and no online guesswork.

Questions

Good questions, straight answers

When should I book?

November install weeks are booking now across Chicago — booking now locks in your preferred install window before the pre-Thanksgiving weeks fill up.

Do you take the lights down?

Yes. In January we take everything down. If you'd like us to store the display, storage is available as a separate service — details on your free Zoom estimate call.

How does the free estimate work?

It's a free Zoom video call. We look at your home together, design the display, and you get an exact price on the call — no obligation.

Which areas do you serve?

Chicago and surrounding suburbs — including Evanston, Skokie, Lincolnwood, Morton Grove, Park Ridge, Glenview and Wilmette. Not sure? Call and ask.

The short version — full answers to these and more below.

How much does it cost? +

Every home is different — roofline length, height, trees and extras all change the scope. That's why we don't publish one-size prices: book a free Zoom estimate call and you'll get an exact price for your home on the call, with no obligation.

Do you provide the lights? +

Yes. We supply premium commercial-grade LED lights and all materials for your approved design — custom-cut to your roofline. Nothing to buy, untangle or store.

Will the lights raise my electric bill? +

Barely. We use commercial-grade LED lights, which draw a fraction of the power of old incandescent strands — a full home display typically costs only a few dollars of electricity for the whole season. Every install includes automatic timers, so the lights turn on at dusk and off when you choose, and never run all night by accident.

What if a bulb goes out mid-season? +

Holiday installations include in-season maintenance through December 26. Let us know and we'll come make it right.

Is professional installation safer than doing it myself? +

Yes — Chicago roofs in winter are cold, steep and often wet, which is exactly when ladder falls happen most. Our crew climbs roofs and hangs lights every day with the right equipment, uses commercial-grade LEDs built for outdoor winter conditions, and handles takedown in January. You get the full display without ever touching a ladder.

Will installation damage my roof, gutters or shingles? +

No. We hang lights with clips made for rooflines and gutters — no nails or screws through your shingles. At takedown in January, the clips come off with the lights, leaving your roof and gutters the way we found them.

What time do the lights turn on and off? +

That's your call. Every install includes an automatic timer: lights come on at dusk and switch off at whatever time you choose, so the display runs on your schedule and never stays on all night by accident. Want a different off-time later in the season? Just ask and we'll adjust it.

Are takedown and storage really included? +

In January our team takes everything down. Storage is also available — its details and fee are confirmed on your free Zoom estimate call, so nothing is assumed up front.

What should I do before install day? +

Before we arrive, please move vehicles away from the house so the crew has clear access to the roofline, unlock any gates, keep pets indoors, and make sure outdoor outlets are reachable. If you have a gate code, a locked fence or any other access notes, mention them when you book.

Do I need to be home on install day? +

No — most installs happen while homeowners are out. As long as the crew has access (gates unlocked, outdoor outlets reachable, pets indoors), we complete the full install and send confirmation when it's finished. Your design is approved at the free estimate, so there's nothing for you to wait on.

Can I see what my home will look like before I book? +

Yes — and we think you should. Use the See It On Your Home photo visualizer right here on this site to try light styles on a photo of your own home and get a feel for the look. Then, at your free estimate, we walk through the design together step by step, so you know exactly what the plan is before anything is installed.

What happens if it snows on my install day? +

Usually, nothing changes. Our crew works roofs all winter, so cold weather and light snow are normal install conditions. We watch the Chicago forecast ahead of your date, and if a storm makes a roof genuinely unsafe to work on, we'll let you know ahead of time and move your install to the next open date — no guessing, no surprise cancellations on the day.

When should I book? +

As early as you can — November install weeks are booking now. Most homeowners want their display up before Thanksgiving, so install calendars across Chicago fill fastest in the weeks leading up to it — booking now locks in your preferred install window, instead of whatever dates are left.

Can I still book in December? +

Yes — installs continue into December while the calendar allows. The closer to Christmas, the fewer open install days remain, so book a free Zoom estimate call and we'll confirm the earliest available install date for your home on the call.

How long does installation take? +

It depends on the size and scope of your display — a simple roofline goes up faster than a full-property design with trees, walkways and accents. Your exact install timing is confirmed on your free Zoom estimate call, once we have designed your display together.

What should I have ready for my free Zoom estimate call? +

Just yourself and a phone or laptop — nothing to prepare in advance. It helps to be somewhere you can step outside and point your camera at the front of your home, so we can look at the roofline, entryway and any trees or areas you would like lit. If you already know which parts of your home matter most to you, or you have tried a style in the See It On Your Home visualizer, tell us on the call and we will build the design around it. Your exact price is given on that same call, with no obligation.

What happens after I book my free Zoom estimate? +

Simple: we confirm your call time and send you the Zoom link. On the call we look at your home together, design the display with you, and give you an exact price — with no obligation. Nothing is installed or charged until you have seen the design and said yes to it.

Are permanent, landscape or event lighting available? +

Yes — permanent LED trim, landscape, event & party, patio string lighting are all available now, alongside our holiday installations. Book a free Zoom estimate call and we'll design the whole project with you on the call.

\n
Can I light just part of my home instead of the whole house? +

Absolutely — every design is custom, so you choose the scope: roofline only, entryway and trees, a single feature, or the full property. On your free Zoom estimate call we design exactly what you want and give you an exact price for that scope, with no obligation.

Can I mix light styles on one home? +

Yes — most designs mix them. Crown Glow on the roofline, Fairy Glow in the trees and garland, and Winterfall Glow along the eaves can all live on the same home. On your free Zoom estimate call we build the combination with you, so you see how the styles work together before anything is installed — and you can preview them first on your own home photo in the See It On Your Home section.

Which areas do you serve? +

We serve Chicago, Evanston, Skokie, Lincolnwood, Morton Grove, Niles, Park Ridge, Des Plaines, Glenview, Wilmette and surrounding areas, for both homes and businesses. Not sure if we cover your neighborhood? Call us and ask.

How long do the lights stay up? +

Your display stays lit all season — from your install date in October or November through the holidays and into early January. In January we handle the full takedown and pack everything into organized, labeled storage, so next season starts with zero hassle.

What is permanent LED trim? Can I really keep it up all year? +

Yes — that's the whole point. Permanent LED trim is a slim, color-matched channel mounted along your roofline that stays up year-round. By day it blends into your trim; at night it glows in any color for Christmas, Halloween, game days, birthdays, or a warm white every evening. We cut it to fit your home's exact lines, wire it cleanly, and set up a simple app-based controller so you're lighting the house from your phone in minutes.

What's the difference between seasonal installation and permanent LED lights? +

Seasonal installation is our classic Christmas service: we design the display, install it, maintain it all season, take it down in January, and store everything — you never touch a ladder or a box of lights. Permanent LED trim is a discreet track that blends with your trim by day and lights up by night, app-controlled in any color for every holiday, game day, and season, with no yearly install or takedown. Both options are installed by our crew and priced free on a Zoom estimate call.
