The 2026 holiday season is approaching, and homeowners throughout Brick, Point Pleasant, Wall Township, Howell, and surrounding Ocean and Monmouth County communities are getting ready for one of the most festive times of the year. From decorating the Christmas tree to preparing for holiday gatherings, there’s plenty to do before the celebrations begin.

But what about the outside of your home?

There’s something special about driving through a neighborhood filled with beautifully decorated houses, glowing rooflines, illuminated trees, and festive wreaths. Holiday lighting creates a welcoming atmosphere for family and friends while bringing a little extra cheer to everyone who passes by.

This year, CertaPro Painters® of Brick and Southern Monmouth, NJ, and our sister company, Wonderly Lights, are helping local homeowners make their properties shine with professionally designed and installed holiday lighting displays.

And with the holidays getting closer, now is the perfect time to start planning.

Take Your Holiday Decorations to the Next Level in 2026

We’ve all seen homes where the holiday lights look absolutely spectacular. Every roofline is perfectly outlined, trees sparkle with carefully arranged lights, and the entire display feels coordinated rather than thrown together.

Creating that appearance takes more than a few strings of lights and an extension cord.

Wonderly Lights specializes in customized holiday lighting displays designed to complement your home’s architecture, landscaping, and personal style.

Whether you prefer the timeless elegance of warm white Christmas lights or a colorful display filled with holiday spirit, professional lighting can transform an ordinary exterior into a festive neighborhood attraction.

Popular holiday lighting options include:

• Roofline lighting: Beautifully arranged lights that highlight your home’s architectural features.
• Tree and shrub lighting: Festive illumination that brings your landscaping to life after sunset.
• Wreaths and greenery: Seasonal decorations that add a classic holiday touch to entrances, windows, and other exterior features.
• Entryway lighting: Welcoming displays around porches, columns, and front doors.
• Custom lighting designs: Coordinated displays tailored to your property’s layout and your preferred holiday style.

From traditional colonial homes in Brick to larger properties throughout Southern Monmouth County, Wonderly Lights can help create a display that feels right for your home.

Spend More Time Enjoying the Holidays and Less Time Hanging Lights

Let’s face it. Hanging Christmas lights isn’t always the magical holiday tradition we imagine.

There’s the annual search for last year’s decorations, untangling strands of lights, checking bulbs, dragging ladders around the yard, and trying to figure out why half the display suddenly stopped working.

Then there’s the challenge of installing lights along rooflines, gutters, and other hard-to-reach areas.

Professional holiday lighting eliminates much of that hassle.

With Wonderly Lights, homeowners can enjoy a full-service experience that includes custom design, professional installation, seasonal maintenance, and post-holiday removal.

Instead of spending an entire weekend climbing ladders in the November cold, you can spend that time shopping, decorating indoors, or simply enjoying the season with family.

And when the holidays are over, you won’t have to dread taking everything down.

Why October and November Are the Best Times to Schedule Holiday Lighting

One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make is waiting until Thanksgiving weekend to start thinking about outdoor Christmas lights.

By then, holiday schedules are filling up, and there may be fewer opportunities to arrange the display you really want.

Planning your holiday lighting installation in October or early November offers several advantages.

• More time to customize your display. Planning ahead allows you to consider different lighting styles, colors, and decorative features rather than rushing into a last-minute decision.
• Better scheduling flexibility. Early inquiries provide more opportunities to find an installation date that works with your holiday plans.
• Enjoy your lights longer. Why go through the effort of creating a beautiful holiday display only to enjoy it for a couple of weeks? Scheduling early can give you more time to appreciate the finished result.
• One less holiday responsibility. Getting your exterior decorating arranged ahead of time means there’s one fewer item on your already crowded November and December to-do list.

If you’ve been considering professional Christmas light installation in Brick, NJ, for 2026, now is the time to reach out.

A Beautiful Home Inside and Out for the Holidays

While Wonderly Lights handles the festive glow outside, CertaPro Painters® of Brick and Southern Monmouth, NJ, can help make your home look just as beautiful inside.

The holidays often bring extra attention to areas of the house that don’t receive much thought during the rest of the year.

Maybe your living room walls have seen better days. Perhaps your dining room needs a fresh coat of paint before hosting Christmas dinner. Or maybe you’ve been meaning to update your entryway, guest bedroom, or kitchen.

Interior painting can make a noticeable difference without requiring a major renovation.

A freshly painted living room creates a beautiful backdrop for your Christmas tree. Updated dining room walls can make holiday entertaining feel even more special. And a refreshed entryway helps create a welcoming first impression when guests arrive.

Our professional painting services can help homeowners prepare their interiors for holiday gatherings while creating improvements they’ll continue to enjoy throughout 2027 and beyond.

Professional Holiday Lighting Isn’t Just for Homes

Businesses throughout Brick and Southern Monmouth County can also benefit from professionally installed holiday lighting.

Restaurants, retail stores, offices, and other commercial properties often welcome more visitors during the holiday shopping and entertaining season.

An attractive holiday lighting display can help create a festive atmosphere, draw attention to your property, and make a memorable impression on customers.

Wonderly Lights offers customized lighting solutions for commercial properties as well as residential homes, helping local businesses celebrate the season with displays suited to their buildings and outdoor spaces.

Whether it’s an illuminated storefront, decorated entrance, or coordinated exterior lighting, professional installation can help businesses create a welcoming holiday environment.

From Holiday Lights to Year-Round Curb Appeal

Holiday lighting may be seasonal, but making your home look its best doesn’t have to end when the decorations come down.

Wonderly Lights also offers permanent exterior lighting and landscape lighting solutions that can enhance the appearance of your property throughout the year.

Similarly, CertaPro Painters® of Brick and Southern Monmouth, NJ, provides professional interior and exterior painting services to help homeowners maintain and refresh their properties.

Together, painting and lighting can complement one another beautifully.

A freshly painted exterior highlights your home’s architectural details during the day, while thoughtfully designed lighting can bring those same features to life after sunset.

Whether you’re planning a holiday transformation or considering improvements for the coming year, both companies offer services that can help enhance your home’s appearance.
