Why Madison Loves Us!
Custom Design
The first step is capturing your holiday vision. We’ll work with you to design a display that matches your style, fits your budget, and brings your ideas to life. Using advanced design tools (and even Google Earth when needed), we can show you exactly how your home will look before installation begins.
Premium Materials
Your display deserves the best. That’s why we provide professional-grade lights, wiring, timers, wreaths, garlands, and more—custom-fitted to your home for a flawless finish. These durable, high-quality products ensure your display shines bright all season long.
Professional Installation
Once the design is finalized, our CLIPA-certified (Christmas Light Installation Pros Association) team gets to work. We handle the installation safely and efficiently during your preferred time (October–December), so all you need to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the holiday magic.
Stay-Lit Guarantee & Take Down
If a bulb goes out or something needs adjusting, just give us a call—we’ll be there within 48 hours to make it right. When the season wraps up, we’ll schedule a convenient time to carefully take everything down and store your lights securely until next year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Own The Lights?
No, we provide an all-inclusive decorating service season-to-season. This is actually a big benefit for you – it means you’ll never have to worry about repairs, replacement, or storage. We handle all of it for you, so your holiday light display looks perfect year after year. Plus, because the lights and decor remain part of our inventory, you can easily change up your bulb colors or scale your display up or down each season.
How Much Does Professional Holiday Lighting Cost in Madison?
Every home and business is unique, so pricing varies based on factors like roofline length, number of peaks and roof access complexity, and whether you add elements such as bushes, trees, stake lighting, wreaths, or garland.
Most residential displays fall between $1,500 – 2,200, with smaller projects (such as a simple one story ranch roofline) starting around $600 and larger estates or expanded displays reaching $3,000+ .
For commercial properties, pricing averages around $6,000, but can be as low as $1,000 for small boutique shops and reach $20,000+ for large buildings, shopping centers, multi-building or other expansive displays.
Is the Price The Same in year two?
Most returning customers actually pay less in year two and beyond! Since your custom lights are already designed, cut, and labeled for your home, installation is more efficient. We pass those savings on with 10% loyalty pricing as our way of saying thank you for lighting up the holidays with us again.
We also offer early installation savings for clients who allow us to install early in September or October — you can simply leave the lights unplugged until you’re ready to spread the cheer. And, yes you can combine this with your loyalty discount for even more savings!
Can you decorate both residential and commercial properties in Madison?
Absolutely. We create holiday displays for homes, shops, restaurants, and more.
Do you offer energy-efficient lighting options?
Yes, we use commercial-grade LED lights that are both bright and energy-saving.
Are you licensed and insured?
Holiday Lighting by J&M is our DBA name for our dedicated lighting division under J&M Lawn Care LLC. We hold an active Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) license in Connecticut and our insurance fully covers both lawn care and holiday lighting services under one comprehensive policy — including $1 million in general liability, auto, and workers’ compensation coverage.
Can you decorate large trees in my yard?
Absolutely, we can wrap trunks, branches, and canopies for a stunning effect.
Do I have to be home for installation or takedown?
Generally, no — as long as your power source is accessible on the exterior of your home, you don’t need to be home for installation or takedown. We’ll take care of everything and ensure your display is set up safely and beautifully, even if you’re not there.
If A Bulb Goes Out; Is It Under Warranty?
Absolutely. Our holiday lighting service is all-inclusive, which means if a bulb goes out, wiring gets damaged, or anything stops working, just give us a call and we’ll fix it at no cost to you. We also check and maintain your lights during storage, so when we reinstall them the following season, they’re in top shape and ready to shine.
Is installation safe for my roof and property?
Absolutely. We use specialized clips and fasteners designed for exterior lighting that won’t damage shingles, gutters, or trim. Roofline lights are attached using gutter clips or thin tabs that slide safely under shingles — no nails or drilling required.
Wreaths and garland may be secured using small hooks, screws, or anchors, which can leave minor cosmetic marks if later removed. For windows and smooth surfaces, we use suction cups, 3M outdoor adhesive clips, or light staples when necessary.
What color bulbs do you offer?
We offer Warm White (our most popular choice!), Red, Green, and Multi-Color (amber, green, blue, red, and yellow). You can also choose from fun patterns like Candy Cane (red & white) or Christmas Classic (green, red & white).
We even offer Halloween colors like Orange and Purple, or a Halloween-to-Christmas conversion so you can light up two holidays!
Want something unique? We can create a custom color combination to match your vision perfectly!
Do you return to take the lights down after the holidays?
Yes! We schedule a convenient time in January to remove your display and carefully pack everything away. We also handle storage, so you don’t have to find space in your garage or attic.
