Holiday Lighting in Houston Heights
Full-service holiday lighting in the Houston Heights
Heights homes have details worth showing off — gables, porches, gingerbread trim — and we light to follow them, not hide them. Hand Top Tier the whole project — design, professional installation, in-season service, takedown and storage — for a display that suits a historic home.
01
A local team that knows the Heights
Lighting the Heights is a favorite of ours — the historic district's Victorians, the bungalow streets of Norhill and Woodland Heights, the boulevard esplanade. We're a greater-Houston company, and you reach the crew that designs and installs your display directly, never a call center.
02
Everything handled, start to finish
We handle the whole season. Design and installation, service through the holidays, then takedown and storage at the end — fully insured and CLIPA certified. Concealed clips and clean runs protect porch trim and original woodwork, with nothing nailed into a historic home.
03
Pro-grade C9 lights you own
Your lights are a one-time purchase, not a yearly rental — commercial-grade, faceted C9 LEDs, custom-cut to trace Victorian gables and trim and warrantied three years, for a crisp, even glow that honors a Heights home.
Our Process
How we install Christmas lights in the Houston Heights
You buy the lights once, and we manage the season around them. Here's how a Heights project comes together, with the home's character front and center.
- Step 1
Design
We start at the home — its gables, porch, turrets and trim — and design a display that follows the architecture cleanly, in the style you want.
- Step 2
Professional installation
Our crew custom-cuts each run to fit the trim and rooflines, conceals the clips and cords, sets the timers, and works carefully around original woodwork and porches.
- Step 3
In-season maintenance
If a bulb fails or a strand slips during the season, we return and correct it at no charge, so the display stays sharp through the holidays and Lights in the Heights.
- Step 4
Takedown & storage
After the holidays we remove everything and store it labeled to your home, so your garage stays clear and next year is one call.

Common Questions
Houston Heights holiday lighting questions
Which parts of the Heights do you serve?
All of it — the Houston Heights Historic District, Woodland Heights, Norhill, Sunset Heights and Germantown, plus Shady Acres and Timbergrove. We also light neighboring River Oaks, Garden Oaks and Montrose.
How much does Christmas light installation cost in the Heights?
Pricing is set per home, since a two-story Victorian with detailed trim and a craftsman bungalow are very different installs. It follows the roofline, the trim, the height, any tree wrapping and the look you want — we'll send a detailed, no-obligation quote.
When should I book for the holiday season?
Early. The Heights books out well before Thanksgiving — most installs run from late October through November, and prime dates go first. Reach out in early fall to secure your spot ahead of Lights in the Heights.
Can you light historic Victorians and detailed trim?
It's some of our favorite work. We follow the gables, porches, turrets and gingerbread trim that make Heights homes special, custom-cutting each run so the lights trace the architecture cleanly.
Do I own the lights, and who takes them down?
You own them after a one-time purchase of the pro-grade C9s — not a yearly rental. We handle the rest: design, installation, in-season service, takedown and storage, all under a 3-year warranty, so you never climb a ladder or store a tangle of strands.
