A historic town, holiday bright.
Morristown is a historic town with a lively downtown and many older homes. Our Christmas light installation in Morristown treats those homes with respect, and also lights the businesses and buildings around the Green.
Yes, we light homes in Morristown. We are about 30 minutes away, installs start in September, and our last install date before Christmas is December 10.
History on every street
Morristown played an important part in the American Revolution, and the town still has streets of historic homes, including Federal, Georgian, and Victorian styles. Downtown, the Green is the heart of the community.
Older houses with symmetrical fronts, tall chimneys, and detailed trim are best served by lighting that is simple and well-placed. We trace rooflines and doorways, and let the architecture do the rest.
Because many Morristown homes are in historic areas, we recommend checking local guidelines for any exterior changes.

A closer look at Morristown
Morristown is the county seat and one of the liveliest town centers in the area. The Green is the focus of community life, and the streets around it have restaurants, shops, theaters, and offices.
At the holidays, the whole town center is decorated, and nearby homes and businesses join in. The residential streets nearby include some of the oldest homes in the region.
Federal, Georgian, and Victorian houses, many with symmetrical fronts and fine detail, give the town a distinct historic character. Lights on a home like that should be quiet and elegant, a warm line along the roof and a bright front door.
Downtown businesses have different needs. A restaurant wants an inviting entrance, a shop wants lit windows, and an office building wants a clean, professional display.
We handle each of those, with an in-person walkthrough and a clear quote. Morristown is a town of events.
There are concerts, performances, and festivals through the winter, and visitors fill the streets. For a business near the Green or on a main street, holiday lighting is part of how you welcome those visitors.
A warm entrance brings people in and gives them a reason to linger. Our commercial customers appreciate a clear process: a walkthrough, a quote, a schedule, an install, care through the season, and a clean takedown.
We plan the work around your opening hours when we can, and we keep the area tidy while we are working. Homeowners in the surrounding streets get the same professional care.
Whether you live in a restored historic house or a newer townhouse, we start by listening to what you want and looking at what the building does best. Ask us for a walkthrough before you decide.
We will look at your building or home, talk about budget, and give you a clear written quote. There is no pressure, and many customers tell us the visit alone helped them picture what was possible.
