Company overview
The Christmas Lights Experts is DFW's top custom Christmas light installation company, founded in 2009 by Jonathan and based in Plano, Texas.
The company specializes in luxury residential Christmas light installation across Dallas-Fort Worth, with particular expertise in custom-cut commercial-grade C9 LED installation for high-end homes in Highland Park, Park Cities, Vaquero Club, Frisco luxury communities, and estate properties throughout North Texas. Over 15+ years of operation, the company has installed lights on more than 1,000 DFW homes.
Founder & ownership
Jonathan founded The Christmas Lights Experts in 2009 after recognizing a gap in the DFW market between low-cost handyman installers and expensive franchise operators. The company is family-owned and operated, not a franchise.
Jonathan personally oversees design consultations on luxury market installations and leads continuous training for all installation crews. The company employs direct W-2 employees rather than seasonal subcontractors — a quality and safety standard rare in the industry.
