Christmas lighting should feel like magic, not a chore.

Every December it is the same routine: dig the bins out of the attic, untangle last year’s strands, discover half of them no longer work, then spend a Saturday on a ladder in the cold. Hand us the whole job instead. We are fully insured, we handle every stage from design to storage, and we stay on call the entire season.

  • Installation by a fully insured crew — we carry full liability insurance, so every ladder, steep pitch, and second-story roofline is our risk and never yours. Nothing is ever stapled or nailed to your house.
  • Every strand custom-cut, every wire hidden — we do not drape store-bought strands and hope they fit. Each run is measured and cut to the exact length of your roofline, peak, column, or railing, so the spacing stays even and there is no bunching at the end of a run and no cord left dangling. We then hide the wiring with color-matched wire — brown, white, or green chosen against your trim, gutters, and shingles — and route it behind gutter lines and downspouts. At night you see a clean line of light. In daylight you can barely tell we were there.
  • 48-hour maintenance, all season long — if a section goes dark, a clip lets go in high wind, or a cord gets bumped, call or text us and we are back within 48 hours to make it right at no charge. Your display stays fully lit from the night we switch it on to the day we take it down.
  • Takedown on our schedule, not yours — we return in January, scheduled around the weather so our crew can work safely, and remove every strand, clip, and cord. The property is left exactly as we found it. You never climb a ladder and never carry a bin.
  • Off-season storage at our facility — your lights leave with us, labeled for your address and kept ready to reinstall next season with one phone call. No attic space, no garage clutter, nothing to dig out and inventory next fall.
  • A gift basket every December 20th — every client gets a holiday basket delivered on the 20th, packed with cozy things for the season: a blanket, mugs, candles, and a few extras. It is how we say thank you for trusting us with your home.

A true full-service holiday lighting company

Plenty of companies will hang lights. These are the five things that make the season genuinely effortless.

Everything included, start to finish

Design, commercial-grade materials, installation, in-season maintenance, removal, and storage are all part of one price. No add-ons appearing later.

Commercial-grade LED lights

Vastly more efficient than incandescent strands and built to survive a full outdoor season. Brighter, truer color, and far fewer failures than anything on a big-box shelf.

Custom-fit to your property

We measure your rooflines and map the layout to your architecture, so the finished display follows the lines of your home instead of fighting them.

48-hour service response

One call and we are back out within two days to fix anything that stops working — at no charge, for the entire season.

We store it, not your garage

After takedown your lights come back to our facility, labeled and organized for your property. No bins in the attic, no clutter, nothing to inventory next fall.

What our clients say

★★★★★
The holiday lighting they installed was the talk of the neighborhood. They handled everything: install, programming, and takedown. Highly recommend Summit Lighting NC.
Amanda R.Apex, NC
★★★★★
What really sold me was the live demonstration. They set up the lights at night before committing to anything so I could see exactly how it would look. That level of service is rare.
Lisa W.Morrisville, NC
★★★★★
We hired Summit Lighting for our commercial property in Cary. Professional, on time, and the finished product exceeded our expectations. Our building looks incredible after dark.
David L.Cary, NC
★★★★★
Summit Lighting did our tree uplighting and deck lighting. The attention to detail is unmatched. Josh personally came back the next evening to fine-tune the angles until everything was perfect.
Chris P.Wake Forest, NC
★★★★★
Santiago and Josh completely transformed our backyard. The landscape lighting around our pool and garden beds looks absolutely stunning at night. Worth every penny.
Jennifer M.Raleigh, NC
★★★★★
The architectural uplighting on our home is breathtaking. Santiago walked us through every fixture placement before installation. We had no idea how much of a difference proper lighting could make.
Michael T.North Raleigh, NC
★★★★★
I had an existing system from a previous owner that was only half working. Summit came out, diagnosed every issue, repaired it all, and added three new zones. Couldn’t be happier.
Robert B.Apex, NC
★★★★★
They installed bistro lights over our entire back patio and added pathway lighting along the garden. The whole yard feels like a completely different space at night. Incredible work.

Holiday lighting questions

We install our own commercial-grade LED lights rather than store-bought strands. Retail lights are not built for a full outdoor season, and they are the number one cause of mid-season outages. Using our materials is what lets us guarantee the display and service it fast if anything goes wrong.

Let us know and we are back within 48 hours to repair or replace it at no extra cost. Seasonal maintenance is built into every holiday package, so your display stays fully lit from installation through removal.

Removal begins in January and is scheduled around weather so our crews can work safely on your roof. Takedown is included in your package, and we store all of your lights and materials at our facility until next season.

Yes. You pick warm white, cool white, or multicolor, and we design the layout around your rooflines, trees, columns, railings, and landscaping. We can add wreaths, garland, and lighted accents, or program color-changing options for a fully custom look.

Absolutely. We handle commercial holiday lighting for retail centers, office parks, restaurants, hotels, HOAs, and apartment communities throughout the Raleigh area, on properties of any size. Installs are scheduled around your business hours.

As early as you can. Our schedule fills through late summer and fall, and booking before October 31 secures both your preferred installation date and our early-bird pricing.
