Professional Commercial Christmas Light Installation in Houston

Houston Xmas Lighting is Houston's most experienced commercial Christmas lighting company, with over 25 years and 5,000+ installs across retail centers, restaurants, hotels, office buildings, HOAs, country clubs, medical facilities, and municipal properties throughout the Greater Houston area. From single-storefront installs on South Congress to full multi-tenant retail centers at LaCenterra, Market Street, and Hughes Landing, we design and deliver commercial-grade holiday displays that drive foot traffic, delight guests, and complete on time β€” every time.

Every commercial project is fully turnkey β€” we handle everything from initial design consultation and 3D mockup rendering to installation, in-season maintenance with weekly drive-by inspections, post-holiday takedown, and climate-controlled storage between seasons. We coordinate directly with property management, general contractors, security teams, and tenant relations to install with minimal business disruption, including after-hours and overnight installation as standard for commercial accounts.

We carry $1M general liability insurance, provide same-day Certificates of Insurance (COI) naming your property management company or building owner as additional insured, and comply with all City of Houston, Harris County, and Fort Bend County commercial installation regulations including permit requirements for public-facing displays. All materials are commercial-grade LED lighting β€” the same 2.5" C9 bulbs and 4mm mini-LED strands used on high-end retail storefronts, not the plastic product big-box stores sell.

Whether you manage a single retail storefront that needs a warm-white roofline outline, a mid-size hotel or restaurant patio that needs custom themed decor, an HOA-wide lighting program across a master-planned community, or a Fortune-500 corporate campus with 6-figure budget requirements, we deliver at every scale β€” with the same eye for design and same guarantee of service.

Commercial Christmas Lights Houston FAQ

Commercial Installation

Do you install Christmas lights on retail centers, hotels, and office buildings?
Yes. We install commercial holiday lighting on retail shopping centers, restaurants and restaurant patios, hotels and hospitality properties, office buildings, corporate campuses, HOAs and master-planned community common areas, country clubs, medical offices, and municipal buildings across Greater Houston.
How much does commercial Christmas light installation cost in Houston?
Small business installations start at $2,000. Mid-size commercial properties (multi-tenant retail, restaurant patios, small hotels) typically range $5,000-$15,000. Enterprise properties (office complexes, malls, hotels, HOA-wide programs) range $15,000-$50,000+. All commercial packages include design, installation, weekly maintenance, takedown, and storage.
Can you provide a Certificate of Insurance for commercial installations?
Yes. We carry $1 million in general liability insurance and can issue a Certificate of Insurance (COI) naming your property management company, HOA, or building owner as additional insured. COIs are typically delivered within 24 hours of request β€” often same-day.
Can you install after business hours to avoid disrupting operations?
Absolutely. Most commercial installations happen after hours, overnight, or on weekends to avoid disrupting your business, customers, or tenants. We coordinate with property management on timing, access, security clearances, and any building requirements.
Do you offer multi-year commercial contracts?
Yes. Multi-year commercial contracts lock in pricing for 2-5 seasons, provide priority scheduling, simplify budgeting, and include climate-controlled storage between seasons. Most of our HOA, property management, and enterprise commercial clients use multi-year agreements.

Materials, Maintenance & More

Do you handle in-season maintenance for commercial properties?
Yes. All commercial accounts receive weekly drive-by inspections during the season. If a strand goes dark or a bulb burns out, we address it within 24-48 hours at no additional charge. This is included in every commercial contract.
What kind of lights do you use for commercial installations?
Commercial-grade 2.5" C9 bulbs and 4mm mini LEDs β€” the same quality used on high-end retail storefronts across LaCenterra, Market Street, and Hughes Landing. We do not install customer-provided or big-box store lights. Warm white, cool white, multicolor, and branded custom color combinations available.
Do you install commercial holiday interior decorating too?
Yes. We install commercial interior holiday decor including lobby Christmas trees (up to 20 ft), reception area displays, corridor garland, wreaths, and coordinated interior themes for hotels, corporate offices, medical facilities, and retail lobbies. See our Commercial Holiday Decorating page for details.
Do you handle municipal and public installations?
Yes. We handle municipal and public installations including city buildings, public parks, and downtown districts. All municipal work is permitted, code-compliant, and coordinated with local Public Works or Parks & Recreation departments as required.
When should I book my commercial Christmas light installation?
We recommend booking commercial installations by September 15 for guaranteed pre-Thanksgiving install. Enterprise properties and multi-tenant retail centers with 2-3 week install windows fill up first. Multi-year contracts guarantee your priority schedule slot each season.
