Dilworth, Charlotte NC · Christmas Lights & Permanent LED
Christmas Light Installation in Dilworth, Charlotte
Dilworth is a porch neighborhood: front gables, deep porches, and old trees over a walkable grid. We light it the way it was built: warm classic lines on the roof, garland and wreaths at the porch, canopy work in the yard, plus permanent LED rooflines you run from your phone all year.
Free on-site design consultation, no obligation.
Lighting Dilworth
street by street.
Dilworth was Charlotte’s first streetcar suburb, and it still behaves like one. The blocks are short, the sidewalks get used, and the houses sit close enough to the street that people walk past your display instead of passing it at thirty-five miles an hour. That changes the design. Detail counts here (the porch, the columns, the front gable, the railing) because all of it is being seen from ten feet away rather than from a car.
So we work from the porch outward. Garland on the rail and columns, a wreath sized to the door rather than to a catalogue, then the roofline: one warm color temperature, clips fitted to older trim, spacing matched across gable and eave so the line stays even where the house is not. Older homes are rarely square, and a display that ignores that reads as sloppy from the sidewalk.
Overhead, Dilworth shares the mature oak and willow canopy that runs through Myers Park and Eastover, so trunk wraps and canopy lighting do as much work as the roof. And for owners tired of an annual ladder against original trim, a permanent LED roofline sits inside the fascia channel, disappears in daylight, and turns on from your phone: warm white most of the year, Christmas in December, sixteen million colors, 25-year warranty.

What we install in Dilworth
Christmas Light Displays
Custom-designed seasonal displays on rooflines, front gables, dormers, and porch columns, installed with commercial-grade weatherproof product cut to your house. On Dilworth’s older elevations we fit clips to the trim and keep spacing even across gable and eave. Design, installation, mid-season maintenance, takedown, and storage are all part of the package.
Christmas lighting details →Permanent LED Roofline Lighting
Architectural LED strips hidden inside your roofline channel, invisible by day, fully app-controlled at night. Sixteen million colors, programmable scenes for every holiday, and a 25-year warranty, so an older Dilworth house never needs another November ladder.
Permanent LED details →Trees, Wreaths & Garland
Porch garland, door wreaths, and railing runs sized to the house rather than to the box, plus trunk wraps and canopy lighting for the oaks and willows over the street. In a neighborhood people walk, the porch details are what get seen up close.
See seasonal options →Commercial & HOA
Storefront and restaurant frontage along East Boulevard, plus entrance monuments, clubhouses, and common areas, scoped around business hours so nothing blocks a doorway in December. One point of contact, one design, one invoice.
Commercial & HOA lighting →The Dilworth streets we light
Dilworth runs from the blocks nearest Uptown south toward the Myers Park line, and the housing shifts as you go: porch-front older homes on the tighter streets, larger renovated elevations further south, and infill houses that stand a story taller than their neighbors. We match the design to the house rather than to the block. A modest gable done cleanly beats an oversized display every time on a walkable street.
The commercial side belongs to the same December. East Boulevard carries the neighborhood’s storefronts and restaurants, and garland, wreaths, and warm roofline runs suit that frontage better than anything animated. We scope that work around business hours so an install never blocks a doorway during the shopping season.
Next door, Myers Park, SouthPark, and Plaza Midwood get the same crew and the same process, and the Charlotte overview covers how the rest of the city is grouped. Not sure whether your block counts as Dilworth? It makes no difference to the schedule. We light all of it.

Dilworth questions
Yes. We install throughout Dilworth, from the blocks nearest Uptown south to the Myers Park line, plus Eastover, Cotswold, and Plaza Midwood, and the storefront frontage along East Boulevard. If you are not sure whether your street is covered, call (704) 326-2024 and we will tell you straight.
Earlier than you think. Our install calendar fills before Thanksgiving, and a Dilworth design usually means porch, gable, and canopy in the same visit, which takes crew time. Booking a free consultation in early fall locks in your date. Permanent LED systems are different. We install those year-round, so the off-season is actually the easiest time to get on the schedule.
It depends on the size of the roofline and the scope of the display. Most residential seasonal installations run from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. Permanent LED systems are quoted by linear roofline footage. Either way the on-site design consultation is free and there is no obligation.
Yes. Takedown and storage are included in every seasonal Christmas light package. We schedule removal after the holidays and store your lights until next season, so you never touch a ladder.
Usually, yes. The LED track mounts inside the fascia or roofline channel and is finished to match your trim, so in daylight the house looks exactly as it did before: nothing hanging, no visible cord. On older homes we walk the elevation with you first and confirm the run before anything is ordered. If your street sits inside a local historic district, exterior changes can need approval from the city or your neighborhood association, so we flag that at the consultation. Permanent systems install year-round, so there is no seasonal rush.
