Serving Chicago's South & Southwest Suburbs
South Chicago Lighting Partners designs and installs holiday lighting and permanent LED systems across the south and southwest Chicago suburbs - from Hinsdale and Burr Ridge through Orland Park and Tinley Park, out to Frankfort, Mokena, and southern Naperville.
One Standard of Work Across the South Suburbs
We are a locally operated franchise serving Chicago's south and southwest suburbs with the backing of the national Lighting Partners network. That means local crews who know the estate rooflines in Hinsdale, the prairie wind in Frankfort and Mokena, the new-construction lots in Homer Glen, and the I-355 and I-80 commercial corridors - paired with the supply chain and engineering of an established brand.
Every community we serve gets the same commercial-grade, wind-and-ice-rated fixtures, the same non-penetrating roof-safe mounting, and the same clean January takedown. Whether you are on a slate-roof estate in Burr Ridge, a large-lot build in Frankfort, or a corporate campus off I-355, the standard does not change.

Organized by region so you can find your community. Each part of the south and southwest suburbs has its own architecture, lot scale, and climate timing - our crews know all of them.

Ice storms and polar vortex weeks hit the south suburbs every winter. Our crews sweep client properties the morning after major events - no charge.

Local Climate and Install Notes
Chicago winters hit the south and southwest suburbs hard. Cold winds off Lake Michigan rake across open prairie and farmland. December through February typically brings heavy snow and ice storms that load down rooflines and gutters. We install October through early December and run takedown crews January through February.
