White-Glove Holiday Lighting Across Central Virginia
IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA
By the time the holidays arrive in Central Virginia, the installation season has already turned cold, and the winter storms that roll through can tug a light line loose right when your display should be at its best. That is exactly why we stay involved after the ladders come down, keeping an eye on your lights and coming back to fix anything the weather knocks out of place.
We design and install professional Christmas lighting for homes and businesses across the Charlottesville area, and the team at Exterior & Holiday Lighting of Central Virginia handles the whole thing for you. That means a full white-glove package from start to finish: custom design, professional installation, in-season care, end-of-season takedown, and climate-controlled storage until next year.

From a single rooftop outline to a fully wrapped property, here is how we bring the holidays to life across the Charlottesville area.
A complete, done-for-you holiday display for your home, with custom design, professional installation, in-season care, takedown, and off-season storage.
The same full-service holiday lighting for business and commercial properties across the area.
A year-round, always-ready exterior lighting option for homeowners who want more than a seasonal display.
For homeowners around Charlottesville, we make holiday lighting something you get to enjoy rather than dread. It starts with a custom, collaborative design planned around your rooflines, gutter lines, peaks, trees, and bushes, so the finished look fits your home instead of a one-size template.
Before we install a single light, you approve a design estimate that includes pictures showing the lights right on your home, and you are welcome to tweak the design however you would like. From there, the whole season is handled for you: we install everything, keep an eye on the display, come back for any failures, then take it all down and store it safely for next year.
We work with a few professional-grade light styles, each chosen for where it looks and performs best on your property
Our primary bulb, used on rooflines, gutter lines, fascia board peaks, and larger trees for that classic, crisp holiday outline.
Used on bushes, railings, and smaller trees and features to add depth and a little extra sparkle.
Laid over bushes and shrubs for fast, even coverage that fills in beautifully after dark.
Our most requested color by far, warm white gives your home that cozy, classic holiday glow that feels like Christmas the moment it’s lit.
A crisp, bright white with
a clean, modern edge, perfect if you want your display to sparkle with a fresh, wintry feel.
Color-changing versatility that lets your display shift and adapt, so you’re never locked into a single look.
Go bold with a single statement color like red, green, blue, purple, or orange, or mix them all into a festive multicolor display that matches exactly the feeling you’re going for.
Getting your lights up is a simple, guided process from the first call to the moment they turn on.
Call or contact us and we will talk through the process and set up an in-person estimate. We aim to respond to inquiries within about an hour.
We visit your property, get your input, and design a custom lighting plan and game plan built around your home or building.
We send an estimate with pictures showing the lights on your home for approval, and you can tweak the design however you would like.
Once you approve, we book your installation. Booking early in September or October reserves your spot on the schedule, so your display is set well before the holidays arrive.
Holiday Display Today
We handle everything, start to finish: an in-person design consultation, professional installation, in-season monitoring, end-of-season takedown, and climate-controlled storage of your lights until next year. It’s a true white-glove, full-package holiday lighting experience for Charlottesville homes.
We supply our own professional-grade lights, sourced through Christmas Decor, noticeably higher quality than anything you’d buy in a store. You can see the difference the moment they’re lit.
Our team is trained and certified by Christmas Decor, with dozens of professional lighting projects behind us. That training shows in every clean, safe, beautifully finished install.
We don’t just install and disappear. We monitor your lights all season; if a string fails or a storm knocks a line loose, we come back and fix it. Your display stays perfect through the holidays.
At the end of the season, we take everything down and store your lights in a climate-controlled room, so they’re protected from heat and cold and come back at full strength next year, instead of getting ruined in a garage or attic.
We’re fully licensed and insured, so your home and your holidays are in careful, protected hands from the first ladder to the last light.
We go out of our way to make sure you don’t just get lights; you get the Christmas joy that comes with them. Our goal is for every client to feel great about the whole process, from design to the moment we turn the lights on.
As a locally owned company rooted in the Central Virginia and Charlottesville area, we also give back to the community we serve, donating 2% of our profit to charity.
Our work is backed by two straightforward promises. If a light or string goes out during the holiday season, we’ll come back and fix or replace it, that’s part of our full-package, white-glove service. And if you’re not completely happy, we’ll come back, usually the next day, and make it right until you’re 100% satisfied.
