Our Five Core Services
Most properties end up with two or three of these services layered together — a landscape plan plus a permanent roofline system, or a patio plan plus seasonal holiday lighting. Mix and match. We design holistically.
Low-voltage tree, garden, path, and architectural lighting designed to last decades.
JellyFish-authorized year-round programmable roofline lighting.
Custom-cut Christmas — designed, installed, maintained, removed, stored.
Bistro, pergola, deck, and outdoor-room lighting built for weather.
Hotels, restaurants, multi-family, HOA, retail, office, church, and municipal.
Why Paramount
Most outdoor lighting companies are specialists in one thing — Christmas, or landscape, or patios. Paramount is unusual in that we own all of it. The benefit to you is coordinated design, single-point accountability, and a single phone number for landscape lighting in June, patio bistro in July, holiday lighting in November, and a permanent roofline system year-round.
We've spent over 20 years lighting properties across Chicago's North Shore, Northwest suburbs, and DuPage County. Our installers are W-2 employees, not seasonal labor. Our fixtures are commercial-grade brass, copper, and powder-coated aluminum — not big-box plastic. And every job is backed by a multi-year warranty and an annual maintenance plan.
Service Area
We serve Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, with concentration in the North Shore, Northwest suburbs, and DuPage County. See our full service area, including dedicated pages for every city we cover.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is outdoor lighting?+
Outdoor lighting is any permanent or seasonal lighting installed on the exterior of a residential or commercial property. It includes landscape lighting (trees, shrubs, gardens), architectural lighting (facades, columns, eaves), path and step lighting (walkways, stairs, drives), patio and bistro lighting (covered and open outdoor rooms), holiday and Christmas lighting (seasonal displays), and permanent roofline lighting (year-round programmable LED tracks). A complete outdoor lighting plan layers several of these together.
What does professional outdoor lighting cost?+
Most Chicago-area residential outdoor lighting projects range from $4,500 for a starter landscape design to $35,000+ for a layered estate-wide plan with architectural washes, path lighting, tree moonlighting, and a permanent roofline system. Commercial scopes are quoted per fixture and per linear foot. Every Paramount design includes the transformer, wire, fittings, and labor — no surprise line items at install.
Is outdoor lighting worth the investment?+
Yes — for three reasons. First, it extends the usable hours of your property by 4–6 hours every evening. Second, it adds documented curb-appeal and resale value (often cited at 50–200% ROI on well-designed systems). Third, professional outdoor lighting is one of the single most cost-effective passive deterrents against burglary and slip-and-fall liability.
How long does an outdoor lighting installation take?+
A residential landscape lighting installation typically takes 1–3 days on site. Permanent roofline systems install in 1–2 days. Holiday lighting installs run 4–10 hours depending on scope. Commercial projects are scheduled in phases to avoid disrupting business hours.
Do you offer maintenance after installation?+
Every Paramount installation is backed by annual maintenance plans that cover bulb replacement, fixture re-aiming, transformer checks, wire repair from landscaping damage, seasonal timer adjustments, and a full system walk-through. We service what we install, indefinitely.
