Over the years, fewer and fewer homes are decorating with Christmas lights this time of year. Frankly, it’s a hassle. You have to climb into the attic and dig the lights and decorations out from where you stored them last year, if you put them up last year at all. You have to pull the ladder out of the garage and climb around the house trying not to fall. You hate to join those who have stopped putting up their lights but there must be a better way.

There is. Hire someone else to put up your Christmas lights. One such company is Northern Illinois Windows of McHenry.

“This time of year, we put up Christmas lights for homes and businesses in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin,” said owner Bill Thomas. “A lot of people don’t want to the hassle, are too busy or are worried about climbing ladders.”

Thomas said his crew has the experience to handle installing lights and decorations even on the largest homes and businesses in the area. They do a professional job so it doesn’t look like someone was just trying to get it done.

“When we’re done, our customers can take pride in the lights and decorations on their homes,” he said.

Thomas said his crew does more than just put up lights. They also take them down. And, in the offseason, they store the lights. The following year, all a homeowner or business manager has to do is call and say, “Can you come out and put up our lights and decorations now?”

Customers can even schedule a year ahead of time to have their lights and decorations installed. In that case, they don’t even have to call, though they’ll receive a call letting them know a crew is coming out in a day or two.

This is festive time of year made all the more festive when streets are lined by homes and businesses adorned with sparkling lights and colors. It’s also a hectic time of year. Most people have enough things on their plates without worrying about putting up holiday lights and decorations. Hiring a company to do it for them relieves them of the strain.
