Who Hangs Christmas Lights Near Me? The Answer for Frankfort, Illinois

People type two things into Google every October. The first is "who hangs Christmas lights near me." The second is "someone to hang Christmas lights." Both searches mean the same thing. You are done climbing the ladder and you want a real company to show up, do it right, and handle the whole season.

This post answers that question for Frankfort homeowners specifically. What kind of company does this work, what the job actually includes, how to spot the difference between a professional installer and a guy with a truck, and what it costs in the 60423 zip code.

The Direct Answer

Who Hangs Christmas Lights Near Me in Frankfort, IL?

Green Pro Services installs Christmas lights throughout Frankfort, Illinois. We run the same crew, the same lights, and the same guarantee across Kankakee County and Will County. Frankfort is a regular part of our route, not a one off favor for out of area customers.

Here is what we cover in town:

• Residential rooflines in Hickory Creek, Idlewild, Prestwick, Brookside Glen, Lakota Ridge, Fairmont Village, and the Lincoln-Way area.
• Older homes near Historic Downtown Frankfort and the Old Plank Trail, where the design usually leans on porch columns, window frames, and wrapped trees instead of one long roof run.
• Trees, bushes, columns, walkways, and wreaths as add ons to any roofline package.
• Commercial storefronts, offices, churches, apartment buildings, and subdivision entrances, scheduled in advance so the install never lands in the middle of your business day.
• HOA and property management contracts, where several addresses get planned and installed on one schedule.

If you want the full service page instead of the blog version, everything is laid out on our Frankfort Christmas light installation page.

What The Job Includes

What Does "Someone to Hang Christmas Lights" Actually Do?

A lot of people think hiring an installer means paying someone to put up the lights sitting in their garage. That is not how a professional Christmas light service works, and the difference matters when you compare quotes.

A full service install covers six things:

• Design. We look at the house, the rooflines, the power locations, and your budget, then show you what will look good. We can do most of this with Google Earth before we ever pull into the driveway.
• The lights themselves. We supply commercial grade LED bulbs on socket cord that we cut to the exact length of your rooflines. You do not buy anything.
• Installation. Insured, trained crew working off ladders and rooflines with clips built for shingles and gutter lips. No staples, no nails, no holes in the fascia.
• Season long maintenance. An ice storm knocks a section out or a squirrel gets curious, you call us and we come fix it. No charge, every time.
• Takedown. We come back in January, pull everything down, and leave no mess.
• Storage. Your strands go back to our shop, labeled and boxed. Your garage stays yours, and year two installs faster because the lights are already cut to your house.

Everything on that list is included in one seasonal price. There is no separate invoice for the timer and no surprise bill in January.

How To Choose

How To Tell a Real Installer From a Guy With a Ladder

Every fall a wave of seasonal operators shows up on Facebook Marketplace offering to hang lights for a couple hundred dollars. Some of them do fine work. Many of them disappear the week after Thanksgiving, and nobody comes back in January. Ask these six questions before anyone touches your roof.

• Are you insured, and can you send me the certificate? Ladder work at 25 feet in December is the single highest risk job on a house. If an uninsured worker falls on your property, that becomes your problem.
• Who supplies the lights? If the answer is "you do," you are paying for labor only and you own the storage problem forever.
• Are the bulbs replaceable? Hardware store strands seal the bulbs into the wire, so one dead section means throwing out the whole run. Commercial C9 bulbs pull out and swap individually.
• What happens if a section goes dark on December 18? The answer should be "call us and we come out." If maintenance is an extra charge, factor that in.
• Who takes them down? Get the takedown date in writing. Lights left up through March are the most common complaint we hear about the cheap option.
• Will you be in business next year? A company that also does exterior cleaning in Frankfort the other nine months has a reason to still be around.

We run window cleaning, gutter cleaning, and roof cleaning year round, and we work on Frankfort rooflines in every season. Holiday lighting is not a side hustle for us. It is the same crew doing the same kind of work with the ladder pointed at the same houses.

Pricing

What Does It Cost To Hire Someone To Hang Christmas Lights in Frankfort?

Our all inclusive packages start at $749. For the 2026 season, roofline work runs about $6 per linear foot, and the final number depends on how much roofline you want lit, how many stories the crew is working on, and whether you add trees, bushes, columns, or walkway stakes.

A single story ranch with the front roofline lit sits near the starting price. A large two story home in Hickory Creek or Prestwick with peaks, dormers, and a couple of wrapped trees runs higher. We quote the number before you commit to anything.

Timing

When Should You Book a Christmas Light Installer?

Earlier than most people think. We open the books in late summer, install from late October through early December, and turn people away every year in the last week of November because the route is full.

Booking early does three things for you. You pick your install week instead of taking whatever is left. Your strands get measured and cut before the rush. And you lock in this season's pricing.

Members of the Green Pro Clean Club get priority booking ahead of the general schedule plus a discount on their Christmas light package. If we already handle your exterior cleaning on a recurring plan, you are at the front of the line.

Two related options worth knowing about. If you manage a business property, see commercial Christmas light installation. If you would rather stop scheduling this every single year, look at Omni RGB permanent lighting, which stays on the house year round and changes color for every holiday from an app.
