Holiday Lighting Installation in Sterling, VA

Clearly Amazing’s holiday light installers serve Northern Virginia and Washington DC from our Sterling office, with a full Christmas light service for homes and businesses. The LEDs are professional-grade, white or multicolor. The display is a seasonal lease, so the lights stay ours and spend the off-season in our storage.

What the counties say about holiday lighting

Loudoun County’s zoning ordinance lists temporary seasonal or holiday lighting among the exemptions from its outdoor-lighting standards. The ordinance does not apply to properties within Loudoun’s seven incorporated towns, each of which has its own zoning ordinance.

Fairfax County’s summary of its outdoor-lighting standards (Section 5109) lists “Holiday lighting” among the exemptions from the full cut-off and setback/shielding requirements for lots with single-family homes and townhouses.

Where Northern Virginia switches on its lights

In 2025, the Town’s annual light show in the Rose Garden synchronized about 2,500 lights to music.

What the service includes

An estimate at the house. The estimate is done on site, and it’s free.

Clips along the roofline. Each LED run is cut to fit the roofline, and clips do the attaching, so nothing is nailed or screwed in. The connections are weather-rated.

Repairs, then takedown. If a strand or section goes dark midseason, tell us and a crew comes back to repair it. After the season, we take the display down.

Booking holiday lighting installation in Northern Virginia

Early fall is the ideal time to book. Installs run through December.

If you string your own lights

In a 2006 release, the Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative (NOVEC) advised checking for frayed wires, damaged sockets or cracked insulation before installation, using weatherproof outdoor cords, plugs and sockets, and putting a ground fault circuit interrupter on each circuit.

Where we hang lights

The Sterling office sends crews to Washington DC and to Centreville, Fox Mill Estates and McNair Farms; Chantilly, Fairfax, Vienna and McLean; Arlington, Alexandria and Falls Church; Manassas Park and the wider Prince William County area; Dulles South, Arcola and Stone Ridge; and One Loudoun, Broadlands, Brambleton and Loudoun Valley Estates. If your street isn’t named, give us the address and we’ll tell you whether a crew can reach it.
