EverGlow Exteriors · Des Moines Holiday Lighting Services · (515) 642-1986

A holiday lighting service is the whole package, not just a crew with a ladder: someone designs the look with you, installs commercial-grade lights, keeps them burning through December, takes everything down in January, and stores it labeled for next year. EverGlow Exteriors runs that full service for homes across the Des Moines metro — Urbandale, Waukee, Clive, West Des Moines, Ankeny, Grimes, and Johnston.

“The difference between hanging lights and a lighting service is what happens after the install — we’re still responsible in January.” — the EverGlow Exteriors crew

What does a full holiday lighting service include?

• Design: We walk your roofline and yard with you and sketch the look — classic warm white, multicolor, wreaths and garland accents, tree wraps.
• Install: Commercial-grade LEDs cut to your roofline (or your own strands if they’re sound), hung with clips, never staples.
• Season-long maintenance: A dark section in December is our problem — we come fix it, included.
• Takedown: January removal, coiled properly, nothing left to you.
• Storage: Labeled boxes so next season starts organized — or we store customer-supplied lights ready for re-hang.

Is this different from christmas light installation?

Same crew, same job — “holiday lighting service” and “christmas light installation” are two names for what we do. If you want the install details — clips vs staples, booking windows, how the quote works — our christmas light installation page walks through the whole process. This page is about what full service means: you make one call in the fall, and your house is lit, maintained, and cleared without you thinking about it again.

Holiday light decorating we hang most in the metro

Rooflines are the backbone — clean C9 lines along the gutter and peaks. From there, the looks we hang most: warm white with red accents on brick two-stories, full multicolor for families with kids, wrapped porch columns and garland on front entries, and tree trunk wraps that make a yard glow without touching the roof at all. Browse ideas, or just show us a photo of a house you love — we’ll tell you what it takes to recreate it.

What does a holiday lighting service cost?

Pricing is by the lit foot and the design — national figures from Angi’s 2026 data put full-service professional installs at $220–$684 for most homes (average $444), and our cost guide breaks down what should be included. Every EverGlow quote is free and custom to your roofline. Want lights that never come down? See permanent christmas lights — we quote both side by side.

Holiday lighting service questions

Do you offer holiday lighting services near me?

If you’re in the Des Moines metro, almost certainly yes. We’re based in Urbandale and run routes through Waukee, Clive, West Des Moines, Ankeny, Grimes, Johnston, and Des Moines proper. Text your address and we’ll confirm in minutes.

Can you decorate more than the roofline?

Yes — porch columns, railings, entry garland, wreaths, bushes, and tree wraps are all part of the service. Ground-level decorating is also the budget-friendly way to get a big look on a single-story home.

Is it too late to book for this Christmas?

Not yet — November dates are filling but open. The later it gets, the fewer install slots remain before Thanksgiving, so the honest advice is: text us today, get your quote same-day, and lock a date.

Do you service lights you didn’t install?

Mid-season fixes are included for our installs. If another company hung your lights and disappeared, call us — we’ll take an honest look, though we can’t always rescue someone else’s wiring.
