Professional Christmas Light Installation in West University, TX
Houston Xmas Lighting is West U's trusted holiday lighting company, with 25+ years of experience and 5,000+ installs across the Greater Houston area. Our crews install commercial-grade LED lights on homes, HOA entrances, and commercial properties throughout West University Place and adjacent Southside Place, Rice Village, and Rice University-area neighborhoods.
West U presents lighting challenges specific to compact luxury: tight lots with mature oaks, mixed architectural styles from 1930s bungalow to 2020s new-build, and a walkable neighborhood culture where displays are seen up close by every neighbor and every passerby. We handle every step — free on-site design consultation, professional installation, in-season maintenance, post-holiday takedown, and optional climate-controlled storage.

About West University, TX
West University Place, or "West U," is an independent city of about 15,000 residents completely surrounded by Houston, immediately west of Rice University. Established in 1917 and incorporated as its own city in 1940, West U is known for its walkable streets, top-ranked West University Elementary, and one of the highest median household incomes in Texas. The community is famously tight-knit — most residents can walk to Rice Village, Colonial Park, or the West U Recreation Center — and holiday lighting is a serious neighborhood tradition, with residents driving through the district every December to see the displays. Whether your home is a restored 1930s bungalow on University Blvd or a modern new-build on Weslayan, we design a lighting display that fits the architecture and matches the walkable, community-centered character West U is known for.

What West U Homeowners Say
Our 1935 bungalow needed a display that respected the architecture, not overwhelmed it. Houston Xmas Lighting nailed it — subtle, warm, perfect for our block.
We've walked past their installs on University Blvd for years. Finally hired them for our own home and they exceeded expectations.
Modern new-build, wanted something clean and minimalist. Their designer got it immediately. No cookie-cutter package here.
