Streets of Woodfield Outdoor Shopping Mall - Schaumburg IL
Featuring almost 2000 feet of C9 LED roofline lights, over 60 trees lit up with m5 mini lights, and a centerpiece 14ft artificial steel frame tree - this project is the largest we’ve ever been on. Quite frankly - it’s one of the largest installations in the state.
The Streets of Woodfield was a challenging project, but a welcome one for sure. Performed alongside our former partner company, this project took a team of 4 people over 2 weeks to fully install. With an average of 10-15 service calls per year due to squirrels, snow, ice, and more - this project is a testament to our ability to not only install a larger amount of lights, but to effectively and efficiently maintain them as well.
Gateway to the West Loop - Chicago IL
Gateway to the west loop is an apartment complex/shopping center sat right on the corner of Madison street and Green street in downtown Chicago IL. It features over 500 feet of C9 LED lighting on the 5th floor parking garage, and numerous lit up trees along Halsted and Monroe St. This is a project best performed at night, in order to achieve minimal pedestrian interference and optimal installation times.
600-700 Block of Michigan Avenue - Downtown Chicago
This project was subcontracted out from a larger company that had their hands full. It features about a dozen 60-70 foot trees along one of the busiest parts of Michigan avenue, adding a level of complexity to the task at hand that’s quite unique.
The 600-700 block of Michigan Avenue is at the heart of downtown Chicago, and one of the most simultaneously chaotic and beautiful streets in the city. This is a job that isn’t just best performed at night, it’s legally required to take place at night. The police kick you out at 6am sharp to make room for traffic since you’re right in the middle of the city.
We worked 8pm-6am in a 70ft bucket truck for a total of 3 shifts to get this one knocked out, with zero maintenance calls all season thanks to our installation methods.
Downtown Bartlett, IL
This is a project that was commissioned by the City of Bartlett. It features numerous buildings with C9 roofline lights, multiple trees, and two of the largest trees we’ve ever lit up. One of those trees features over 300 strands of lights alone, making for an impressive amount of time spent on installation.
This project is another testament to the sheer size of projects we can handle. All we need is a few lifts to help move things along.
Downtown Mount Prospect, IL
This Job consisted of over 200 light poles to be wrapped with garland, and a bow. Utilizing a bucket truck and a crew of 4, we were able to knock out over 100 garland per day, leading to a 7x increase in efficiency for the public works department in regards to that project in specific.
Additionally, Mount Prospect is locally known for its tree lighting ceremony, where they have a very large 40ft tree shipped in and decorated with a large amount of lights and some very large blow mold ornaments. Utilizing our bucket lift we were able to assist with the decoration of this tree, which took a good amount of weight off of the departments back.
Auto Authority - Crystal Lake
Auto authority is a fantastic repair shop out of crystal lake, they’ve helped us on a number of occasions with our vehicles. Needless to say, some decoration was in order for the holiday season. We also did roofline lights on this location, we just didn’t have the chance to come back for pictures quite yet.
