Trusted Commercial Christmas Lighting for Atlanta Properties

Illuminating Design provides commercial holiday lighting services for retail shopping centers, car dealerships, hospitality venues, resorts and hotels, office parks, apartment communities, municipalities, and other Atlanta business properties. We design the display, supply the materials, handle installation, service it through the holidays, then take it down and store it until next year.

Since 2004, we have completed 3,000+ projects and installed more than 10,000,000 lights for clients including Netflix, World of Coca-Cola, Georgia Power, Ponce City Market, Emory University, and the City of Atlanta.

What a Dark Building Costs You During the Holiday Season

November and December bring the heaviest foot traffic of the year to retail centers, dealerships, and hotels. A property with no display fades into the neighborhood while the competition down the street pulls eyes off the road.

Handling it in-house carries its own price. Sending employees up ladders onto a commercial roof puts your team and your building at risk, and falls are the most common injury from installing Christmas lights. Store-bought holiday lights rarely survive a full season outdoors, so someone on staff spends December swapping bulbs. Come January, the whole job repeats in reverse, and the boxes take up storage space until next year.

Commercial Christmas Lighting Services in Atlanta

Every property gets its own custom design, built around the architecture, the sight lines from the road, and the budget you set.

Christmas Light Installation for Rooflines and Buildings

Our installers fit custom-cut strands of professional Christmas lights to your roofline, columns, canopies, and entryways, mounted with fasteners that protect roofing and siding. Commercial-grade LED lights hold color and brightness across the season and draw a fraction of the power older bulbs used.

Wreaths, Garland, Trees,
and Shrubs

Wreaths on entrances, garland along railings and columns, mini lights through shrubs, and wrapped tree trunks turn a courtyard or drop-off into a winter wonderland. Landscape and roofline elements are designed together so the property reads as one display from the street.

In-Season Maintenance and Service Calls

Weather happens. Our team responds to service calls within 24 to 48 hours through the season to fix burned-out bulbs or storm-related issues, so your display stays at full performance through New Year's.

Takedown, Removal, and Storage

Crews return in January for removal, then clean, test, and store your display in our warehouse until next season. Nothing sits in your back room for eleven months.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Types of Commercial Properties Do You Light?

Retail shopping centers, car dealerships, hospitality venues, resorts and hotels, office parks, apartment communities, and municipalities. Each property calls for a different display, from a dealership frontage to a hotel entrance.

When Do Atlanta Christmas Light Installations Start?

Book in late summer or early fall. Atlanta Christmas light installations start in September and run through December, and the calendar fills in the order deposits come in.

Do You Provide the Lights and Materials?

Yes. We supply commercial-grade materials and professional-grade LED lights, cut and fitted to your property, and store them for you in the off-season.

What Happens If Lights Go Out During the Season?

Call us. Our team handles service calls within 24 to 48 hours, so a bad strand or storm damage gets fixed while the display still matters.

What Does Professional Installation Include?

It includes a design consultation that assesses your architecture and plans the layout, custom-cut strands sized to your building, and safety-rated equipment for work at height.

How Long Do Commercial LED Bulbs Last?

Modern outdoor lighting bulbs last between 25,000 and 50,000 hours, so commercial-grade LED lights stay bright across the season and save money on replacements. We test every strand at installation and store the display for reuse each year.

Will a Display Make a Difference for Our Property?

A lit property can stand out from neighboring properties on the same block, and customers notice. Good lighting improves aesthetics and safety at once, and it creates a convenient, fun reason to stop. Our maintenance program and 24- to 48-hour service calls give you the reliability to keep customers happy through the season.

Do You Handle Every Phase of the Display?

Most local holiday lighting providers handle every phase of the seasonal display. Ours covers design, materials, installation, in-season service, and post-holiday takedown and off-season storage services. Nobody on your staff deals with tangled cords, freezing temperatures, or a January weekend on a ladder.

Do We Buy the Lights, or Do You Supply Them?

Many holiday lighting companies will sell you their lights, thus locking you into a design or forcing you to face additional costs the following year, leaving you with a box of unused lights. Illuminating Design will rent you product every year, which allows you the freedom to change up your installation annually. It also reduces the need for you to store products or be surprised by annual product replacement costs.

What Safety Practices Should We Expect from Installers?

Professional installers use safety-rated equipment for holiday lighting, which significantly reduces holiday decorating injuries. Over 14,000 people are treated for holiday decorating injuries annually, most of them from falls (CPSC). Heightened attention to safety practices, including insurance verification for installers, is essential. GFCI-protected outlets are critical for outdoor lighting safety.

When Does Takedown Happen?

Removal starts in January, and timely removal can take up to three weeks. Your display is then cleaned, tested, and stored until next season.

How Much Does Commercial Holiday Lighting Cost in Atlanta?

Pricing depends on roofline footage, materials, and how complex the display is, and every project is quoted from a site visit. As a market benchmark, seasonal installation in Atlanta typically ranges from $1,500-$3,000 for a residential installation to $5000-$10,000 for a neighborhood entry and clubhouse. Commercial installations vary greatly depending on scale. Illuminating Design will work with you to create the best value within your budget.

Do You Install Residential Christmas Lighting?

Yes. Residential Christmas lighting runs on the same crews, quality materials, and storage program as our commercial work.
