Carolina Sky Holiday Lights

Christmas light installation in Hillsborough, NC

Hillsborough is a straight shot up 86 from our Chapel Hill base, and one of the most rewarding towns we light. We design, install, maintain, take down and store complete Christmas light displays for Hillsborough's historic homes, newer communities and downtown storefronts.

Holiday lighting in Hillsborough, NC

Carolina Sky Holiday Lights designs, installs, maintains, takes down and stores residential and commercial holiday light displays throughout Hillsborough and the surrounding Triangle.

Hillsborough splits into two display styles. The historic district — some of the oldest housing stock in the Triangle — suits warm, restrained designs: rooflines, porch garland, candle-style window light. Newer communities like Waterstone and Fiori Hill take the fuller treatment: big gabled rooflines, wrapped trees, matching wreaths.

Neighborhoods we work in

Historic Downtown · Waterstone · Fiori Hill · Churton Grove · Fox Hill Farm · West Hillsborough

From the historic district to the newest build, if you're in Hillsborough we cover you — and we adjust the design approach to the architecture.

Couldn’t be happier with Carolina Sky Holiday Lights! The whole experience was professional, easy, and the finished display looks absolutely incredible. They did an amazing job bringing everything together, and the attention to detail really shows. Have been using them for the past 2 years and I Highly recommend them to anyone looking to make their house stand out this holiday season!

Questions from Hillsborough homeowners.

Do you work on historic homes in downtown Hillsborough?
Yes, and carefully. Nothing we install pierces or nails into the building — clips grip gutter lips and shingle edges, wreaths hang from proper hangers, and cords route along existing trim lines. If your home is subject to historic-district guidelines, share them at the design visit and we'll design within them.
Can you light downtown Hillsborough storefronts?
Yes — we install commercial displays on historic storefronts with off-hours scheduling so business is never interrupted. We're licensed and insured and provide COIs on request. The design standard downtown is warm and restrained, which happens to be exactly our style.
How early should Hillsborough homeowners book?
Early fall for the best dates. Hillsborough is close to our Chapel Hill base, so we can sometimes fit it in later than our eastern service areas — but earlier is always safer.
