Austin may not have harsh winters, but the city goes all-in on holiday decorating. Professional holiday lighting installations have become one of the fastest-growing services we offer at Majestic Outdoor Lighting Design, and for good reason — having experts handle the design, installation, takedown, and storage eliminates all the headaches of DIY holiday lights.
What Does Professional Holiday Lighting Include?
A professional holiday lighting service typically includes a custom design consultation, installation of commercial-grade LED lights along rooflines, trees, and landscaping, automated timers or smart controls, removal after the season, and storage of your lights for the following year.
Commercial-Grade vs. Store-Bought Lights
The lights used by professional installers are not the same as what you buy at a department store. Commercial LED holiday lights are brighter, more uniform in color, and rated for 3–5 seasons of outdoor use. They’re also significantly safer — with proper weatherproofing and wire gauges designed for outdoor installation.
How Much Does Holiday Lighting Cost in Austin?
Professional holiday lighting in Austin typically runs $500–$3,000+ depending on the scope of the display. A single-story home with roofline and a few trees is on the lower end; a large two-story with extensive tree wrapping and landscape integration is on the higher end.
When to Book in Austin
Austin installers get booked fast — many customers secure their installation slot in September and October. If you’re hoping for a Thanksgiving weekend install, book at least 6–8 weeks out. Last-minute requests in November and December are often waitlisted.
Year-Round Outdoor Lighting That Works for the Holidays Too
One of the smartest things Austin homeowners do is invest in permanent architectural lighting that can be reprogrammed for the holidays. Color-changing LED systems can display warm white year-round and switch to red and green for Christmas, orange for Halloween, or blue and white for Hanukkah. It’s a versatile, cost-effective approach.
