Full-Service Christmas Light Installation for Homes & Businesses in Greenville
Greenville homes run the gamut, from the classic brick two-stories along Augusta Road and North Main to newer builds out toward Woodruff Road and Verdae, and each one deserves a display designed for its own rooflines and landscaping. Our crews work all over the city, so we already know how the light falls on a Cleveland Forest gable or a downtown-adjacent bungalow, and we bring commercial-grade materials, full insurance, and a clean finish to every install.
Here's what a full-service install with us includes: a custom design consultation where we measure your rooflines, walkways, trees, and architectural features and design a display that fits your home and your taste. Commercial-grade lights and materials that look better, last longer, and are far more energy-efficient. Professional, insured installation with trained crews who handle all the heights and wiring safely. Mid-season maintenance if a strand goes out. Take-down and storage after the holidays. Battery-backup timers set at installation so your lights turn on and off automatically every evening.

Professional Christmas Light Installation in Greenville, South Carolina
When the evenings turn cold and downtown lights up for the season, Greenville does the holidays better than almost anywhere in the Upstate. Ice on Main draws skaters to the heart of downtown, the Roper Mountain Holiday Lights turn Roper Mountain Road into a river of color, and Main Street glows from the Peace Center all the way down to Falls Park. Foothills Exterior Cleaning Services helps Greenville homeowners and businesses match that energy at their own front door, with a professionally designed, fully installed, and completely maintenance-free Christmas light display. You never touch a ladder, untangle a single strand, or climb onto a cold roofline in December. We design it, we install it, we keep it running all season, and we take it down and store it in January.

Greenville is a city of distinct, established neighborhoods, and a holiday display that looks perfect on a low ranch in Sans Souci is not the same display that flatters a two-story brick colonial on Augusta Road. That is exactly why a custom, professional approach matters here more than a box of store-bought lights ever could. We have hung lights on the deep, tree-shaded lots of Cleveland Forest and Alta Vista, on the tall gabled homes of Chanticleer and Parkins Mill, on the classic bungalows of the North Main and Overbrook historic districts, and on the newer craftsman-style streets of Hollingsworth Park at Verdae. Each one gets measured, designed, and fit to the architecture of that specific home rather than forced into a one-size-fits-all kit.
Why Greenville Homeowners Hire a Professional Instead of Doing It Themselves
The homes that make the biggest impression in Greenville are often the hardest and most dangerous to light. Augusta Road and North Main are full of two-story and three-story homes with steep rooflines, tall dormers, and mature oaks and maples that have been shading those yards for decades. Reaching a second-story peak or the ridge line of a complex roof on an extension ladder is genuinely risky work, and every winter emergency rooms across the country fill with people who fell doing exactly that. Our crews are trained for height, fully insured, and equipped to work safely on the tallest and most intricate homes in the county. You stay warm and on the ground while we handle the parts that put homeowners in the hospital.
There is also the matter of the result. A professional install simply looks different. We use commercial-grade LED lights that are custom-cut to the exact length of your rooflines, so there are no droops, no dark gaps, and no orange extension cords running across the lawn. The bulbs are brighter, more uniform, more energy-efficient, and far more durable than the strands sold at big-box stores, and they hold their color and intensity from the first cold night in November straight through New Year's. When your neighbors slow down to look at your house, that clean, tailored, professionally finished line along the roof is the reason why.

What a Full-Service Greenville Installation Includes
Our service is genuinely end to end, and that is the whole point of hiring us. It starts with a free design consultation, either in person or from photos of your property, where we measure your rooflines, walkways, columns, trees, and architectural features and build a plan that fits both your home and the look you are going for. Some Greenville homeowners want a classic, elegant warm-white outline that suits a historic Augusta Road facade; others want bold, saturated multicolor along the eaves with wrapped trees and lit wreaths for a family-friendly, high-energy display. We design to your taste, not to whatever happened to be in stock.
From there we custom-cut and pre-fit your lights so every run lands exactly where it should, then schedule your installation for a date that works for you, typically starting in October and running through November. On install day our crew handles all of the height, wiring, and clip work, sets your display on battery-backup timers so it turns on and off automatically every evening, and cleans up completely before we leave. If a strand ever goes dark during the season, you simply call us and we come out and fix it, because mid-season maintenance is part of the service and not an upcharge. Then, after the holidays, we return the first workday in January to take everything down and store your lights for you. There are no bins in your attic, nothing to untangle next year, and nothing to buy again.
Residential and Commercial Displays Across Greenville County
We light single-story homes and towering custom builds, but we also handle commercial properties throughout the Greenville area. Storefronts and restaurants along Main Street and the West End, offices and retail along Woodruff Road and Pelham Road, medical and professional buildings near Patewood, and multi-building complexes all benefit from a display that looks intentional and welcoming during the busiest shopping and dining stretch of the year. Commercial lighting comes with its own considerations, including taller structures, longer runs, parking-lot and entrance safety, and tighter scheduling around business hours, and our crews are equipped and insured for all of it. Whether it is a home in Botany Woods or a business off Haywood Road, the promise is the same: a clean, professional, worry-free display that reflects well on the property.
Many Greenville homeowners already know us for keeping the outside of their homes looking their best the rest of the year, from pressure-washed driveways and soft-washed siding to spotless windows and clear gutters. Holiday lighting is the same promise in a different season and from a company you already trust: the same professional crews, the same full insurance, and the same commitment to leaving your property better than we found it. When one local team handles both your exterior cleaning and your Christmas lights, scheduling is simpler, your property gets consistent care, and there is one number to call when you need anything at all.
Warm White, Multicolor, or a Custom Blend
One of the biggest advantages of a professional install is that you are not limited to whatever a store had on the shelf. Greenville homes span a huge range of styles, from the stately traditional facades near Cleveland Park and the Cliffs communities to the modern farmhouses and craftsman builds going up in Verdae and out toward Five Forks, and the right color choice makes all the difference. A crisp, all-warm-white roofline reads as timeless and elegant and tends to suit historic and traditional architecture beautifully. A full multicolor scheme with red, green, blue, and gold along the eaves, wrapped trunks, and lit wreaths brings the energy and delight that families with kids usually want. Many homeowners land on a blend, warm white on the house with a few pops of color on the landscaping, and we help you choose during the design consultation so the finished display looks deliberate rather than thrown together.
We also think about how your home fits into its street. In tightly knit Greenville neighborhoods like Augusta Road, North Main, and Gower Estates, where holiday driving tours are practically a tradition, a coordinated, well-proportioned display stands out for the right reasons. We consider the height and spacing of your rooflines, the mature trees on the lot, the walkways and porches people actually see from the curb, and any homeowners association guidelines your neighborhood may have about timing or color, so your display is both stunning and completely hassle-free. The goal is a home that looks polished and intentional every single evening of the season, with zero effort on your part.
Book Early to Lock In Your Greenville Installation
The single most important thing to know about professional holiday lighting in Greenville is that the calendar fills up fast. The best install dates, and the best pricing, go to homeowners who book early, which is why plenty of our clients reserve their spot in the summer long before the first pumpkin appears. As October and November arrive, availability tightens quickly, and last-minute requests in the weeks before Thanksgiving are often impossible to fit in. If a beautifully lit home is part of how you want your family to experience the season, the smartest move is to call ahead and get on the schedule while there is still room to choose your date.
Most residential Christmas light installations with us start around $750, with a typical range of roughly $900 to $1,200 for a full, elegant display that lights the roofline plus some additional touches like wrapped columns, trees, or walkway accents. Your exact price depends on the size of your home, the number of stories, the length of your rooflines, and how much you want to add beyond the basics, and you will always get a clear, no-obligation quote before anything is scheduled. Foothills Exterior Cleaning Services is locally owned, based right down the road in Simpsonville, fully insured, UAMCC certified, and rated 5.0 stars across more than 375 Google reviews from your neighbors throughout Greenville and the Upstate.

Most residential Christmas light installations with us start at $750, with a typical range of $900-$1,200 for a fun, elegant display that lights the roofline plus some additional touches.

Do I need to buy the lights, or do you provide them?
We provide everything. We use commercial-grade LED lights custom-cut and fit to your home. They look better and last longer than store-bought strands. You don't buy, store, or replace anything.
Do you take the lights down after the holidays?
Yes. Full take-down is included in our service. In January we carefully remove your entire display and store your lights, so you never have to get on a ladder or deal with cold-weather cleanup.
When should I book my Christmas lights?
The earlier the better. Booking in summer or early fall locks in your preferred install date and the best pricing before the fall rush. Last-minute bookings may not be available, especially in November.
When do you start installing lights, and when do you start taking them down?
We start installations in October, and our take-downs begin the first workday in January.
What if a light or strand goes out during the season?
Just call us. Mid-season maintenance is part of our service. If anything stops working, we come out and fix it so your display stays perfect all season.

Yes. Our crews are trained and fully insured for work at height, including two-story and larger homes, steep rooflines, and architecturally complex designs.
