From Dull to Dazzling:
Before & After Holiday Light Installations in Charlotte
At DeHaan Painting, we know a thing or two about transforming homes in Charlotte. Most of the year, that means turning tired walls, cabinets, and exteriors into something fresh and beautiful. But when the holidays arrive, our team brings that same attention to detail to something even more magical—professional holiday light installations that make your home shine bright all season long.
If you’ve ever driven through Charlotte neighborhoods like Myers Park, SouthPark, Plaza Midwood, or Ballantyne and admired homes that sparkle with holiday spirit, you’ve seen the magic of professional holiday light installation in action. Most of those picture-perfect displays weren’t DIY projects—they were carefully designed and installed by experts who know how to turn an ordinary home into a dazzling holiday showcase.
Here is one of our recent holiday light installations in Charlotte, showing how a thoughtful design can completely transform a home’s curb appeal once the sun goes down.
The “Before” Home: Simple and Unnoticed
Most homeowners start the holiday season the same way—a box of tangled lights, a few burned-out bulbs, and no real plan. Rooflines end up uneven, cords sag, and lights look more scattered than stunning.
DIY holiday lighting isn’t about a lack of effort—it’s that pulling off a polished, professional look takes more than just stringing lights. It requires a thoughtful layout, balanced color choices, professional clips, and commercial-grade LEDs designed to shine bright and last all season.
That’s why so many homes in Charlotte look “fine” before a lighting crew steps in… but absolutely dazzling afterward.

The “After” Home: Dazzling, Polished, and Holiday-Ready
Now this picture is that same Charlotte home after a professional holiday light installation from DeHaan Painting. The roofline is crisp and even, every peak outlined in warm white or bold red-and-white C9s that highlight the home’s architecture. Windows, walkways, and shrubs glow with perfectly placed strands, and a wreath on the front door shines with matching accents that tie the entire design together.
The transformation is instant and dramatic. The result isn’t just brighter—it’s balanced, symmetrical, and full of holiday charm. What was once an ordinary house now becomes the centerpiece of the neighborhood, radiating warmth and joy that draws smiles from everyone who passes by.
