Professional Christmas Light Installation Company for Your Business
Total Light Design is a full-service Christmas light installation company and the dedicated holiday lighting division of Moda Handyman, a Portland-based exterior remodeling company. We are not a weekend crew that disappears after the first storm. We are a year-round team, and we manage every stage of your display: custom design, commercial-grade lights, professional installation, in-season service, removal and off-season storage. Learn more about our team.
Most companies simply “hang” lights. Our goal is a true turnkey solution, so your holiday season stays hassle-free from the first clip to the last strand packed away. Businesses searching for commercial christmas lights near me usually want one accountable crew and one point of contact, so that is exactly how we work.
What Is Included in Our Commercial Holiday Lighting Service?
Why Hire a Professional for Your Business Display?
Hanging lights on a storefront or across a multi-story building is nothing like decorating a home. Deadlines are tighter, customers are watching and downtime costs money. Here is what you gain when you hire a company that hangs Christmas lights for a living.
Safety at Height
Falls are the most common holiday decorating injury. Our crews work at height every day, so your staff and property managers never have to climb a ladder or step onto a roof.
Hours Back for Your Team
Measuring, testing, untangling, climbing and troubleshooting can eat entire weekends. We handle all of it, then return to remove and store everything.
A Polished First Impression
Customers notice a building that looks cared for. Even spacing, consistent color and tidy cord runs are what separate a showstopper from a sagging strand, and a straight and tight display reflects well on your brand.
Commercial-Grade Reliability
Our lights are professional-grade products built for a full winter, not a single weekend. If you choose our rental option, maintenance is free throughout the season.
Minimal Disruption
We schedule installation and removal around your business hours, so customers, tenants and staff keep moving while we work.
Our Commercial Holiday Lighting Services
Choose the design that fits your property, then we customize it. Every option includes our turnkey care: design, installation, removal and storage as needed. See all of our services or start with one of these.
Our Simple, Hassle-Free Christmas Light Installation Process
From your first call to the last strand in storage, here is how our Christmas light installation and removal service works for businesses.
| Step | What happens | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Free estimate | Fill out the online form (attach a photo of your building) or call us. Most customers receive a quote the same day. |
| 2 | Custom design | We plan your facade, entrances, trees and focal points, then choose lights and colors: LED or incandescent C9, warm or cool white, or a custom color mix that fits your brand. |
| 3 | Scheduled installation | Our crew arrives on time, works around your business hours, mounts the lights securely and tests the display before we leave. |
| 4 | Season-long care | Rental customers get free maintenance all season. If you own your lights and something needs attention, call us. |
| 5 | Removal and storage | After the holidays we take the lights down and store them as needed until next year. |
Installation and Removal Around Your Business Hours
Taking lights down is nobody’s favorite chore, and it should never get in the way of business. Because our installation and removal service is one package, we return after the season, remove your display and put it away neatly, on a schedule that works for you.
Lighting for Buildings, Entrances, Trees and Grounds
We light every part of your property that deserves attention, from the highest peak to the front walk.
Rooflines, Eaves and Facades
Your roofline is the backbone of the display. Properly mounted clips keep lights straight, protect your building and make removal quick. We tailor the approach to your roof type, height and gutters so the outline looks crisp from the street.
Windows, Doors and Entrances
We outline windows, doors, awnings and columns so customers, tenants and guests are welcomed from the curb to your front door.
Large Trees and Tall Evergreens
Our crews handle tall evergreens and mature trees as part of the same project as your building, so the display looks designed as one piece instead of a patchwork.
Tree Wraps That Look Intentional
Trunk and Branch Wraps
Evenly spaced wraps along the trunk and main limbs give large trees structure and a warm glow.
Canopy Lighting
Lights placed through the upper canopy create a soft glow that is visible from the street.
A Note on Power Lines
Trees that grow near power lines need extra care. The Electrical Safety Foundation International advises caution when decorating near power lines, which is one more reason large-tree work is best left to trained crews.
Bushes, Hedges and Pathways
Net-style and hand-placed lighting turn shrubs and hedges into glowing shapes, and walkways and driveways light the way to your entrance. See Trees, Bushes & Hedges.
Christmas Lights We Install: LED vs. Incandescent C9
We offer two types of professional, commercial-grade C9 lights: incandescent (glass) and LED. Not sure what “C9” means? Read What Does C9 Mean on Christmas Lights?.
| Feature | LED C9 | Incandescent (glass) C9 |
|---|---|---|
| Look | Clean, bright light in warm white, cool white and many colors | Typically brighter, with the classic holiday glow |
| Electricity use | Up to 90% less electricity | Uses more electricity |
| Durability | More durable and longer lasting | More fragile with a shorter lifespan |
| Warranty | 3-season warranty | — |
| Upfront cost | Higher | Lower |
| Colors | Wide variety | Wide variety |
| Best for | Long-term savings and durability | A traditional, nostalgic look |
LED lighting is widely recommended for its energy savings, and the U.S. Department of Energy explains the benefits in its LED lighting guide. For a display that runs for weeks, those savings add up, which makes LED a popular choice with our business customers.
Warm White or Cool White?
Warm White
A soft, yellowish white that feels cozy and traditional. It looks great on brick, wood and earth-tone buildings.
Cool White
A crisp, bluish white that feels modern and icy. It pairs well with glass, steel, gray and contemporary exteriors.
Not Sure? Send Us a Photo
Attach a picture of your building to the estimate form and we will recommend a color plan that suits it.
Custom Colors and Designs
Our custom design process lets us create virtually any color combination to match your building and your brand, from classic white to red and green, multicolor or a themed palette.
How Much Does Commercial Holiday Lighting Cost?
Every property is unique, so we price each project individually. We offer free, no-obligation estimates, and most customers receive a quote the same day. Fill out our online form and you will hear from us shortly.
