The brightest lights, made easy in Nanaimo
Experience hassle-free holiday cheer with Shack Shine’s outdoor professional Christmas light installation service! We handle everything: design, installation, takedown, and storage – using commercial-grade, customized lights that ensure your home shines brightest on the block.
Whether you’re decorating a heritage home in the Old City Quarter or a contemporary property in neighborhoods like Hammond Bay or North Nanaimo, the city’s mild coastal winters create ideal conditions for stunning holiday displays. With little snow but crisp, cool evenings, it’s the perfect setting for lights to shine bright all season long. From waterfront homes to hillside streets, Nanaimo’s festive community spirit comes alive with beautifully decorated houses, local light tours, and neighbourhood celebrations that bring families and friends together throughout the holidays.
Our expert crew understands the unique charm of Vancouver Island living, where ocean breezes and occasional winter storms require durable, weather-resistant lighting solutions that can withstand coastal conditions while creating magical holiday ambiance.

Frequently Asked Questions – Christmas Lights in Nanaimo
What light colors and styles are available in Nanaimo?
We offer an impressive range of lighting options to match your personal style and home’s character. Choose from elegant warm white for a classic sophisticated look, or bright pure white for modern appeal. Our candy cane patterns alternate red and pure white for traditional holiday charm, while multi-color displays feature festive combinations of red, green, blue, and white. We also create custom color schemes to match your unique vision and complement your home’s exterior.
Do you install lights on landscaping too in Nanaimo?
Absolutely! Our service extends far beyond just rooflines to create comprehensive holiday displays. We expertly install lights on trees, bushes, walkways, garden features, and any landscaping elements that will enhance your property’s festive appeal. This complete approach ensures your entire outdoor space becomes part of the magical holiday transformation, creating stunning curb appeal that highlights both your home’s architecture and beautiful landscaping.
When should I book my Christmas light installation in Nanaimo?
We recommend booking your installation during early fall to secure your preferred installation dates and ensure our team can accommodate your timeline. Nanaimo’s mild coastal climate allows for flexible installation scheduling, but booking early helps avoid the rush as the holiday season approaches. Early bookings also give you more time to plan your perfect display design and make any adjustments before the busy holiday period begins.
How do your lights handle Nanaimo’s coastal weather conditions?
Our commercial-grade LED lights are specifically designed to withstand Vancouver Island’s coastal environment, including ocean breezes, winter rain, and occasional storms. The professional installation techniques we use ensure secure mounting that won’t be damaged by wind or weather typical to the island. These durable, weather-resistant lights maintain their brightness and reliability throughout the entire holiday season, giving you peace of mind during Nanaimo’s variable winter weather.
What areas of Nanaimo do you service for Christmas light installation?
We proudly serve all areas throughout Nanaimo and surrounding Vancouver Island communities, from waterfront properties to hillside homes and everything in between. Our local team understands the diverse neighborhoods and housing styles across the region, from heritage character homes to modern developments. Whether you’re in the heart of downtown or in the surrounding residential areas, we’ll bring our professional installation service directly to your location.

I was a youth worker and social worker as well as was a College Pro Painter franchisee. I enjoy giving young people a great place to work and to make customers happy by saving them time and stress.
We hang Christmas Lights for Redemption church in Vancouver every year. I also personally work with a lot of at-risk youth doing things like one on one mentoring as well as various volunteer projects including as a volunteer staff at Rock Solid Refuge that works with teenage boys dealing with addiction issues where they live for a year on a farm to connect with God and have a safe place to get a handle on their addictions. If you know someone who could really use Christmas Lights this year and can’t afford them, please reach out to us, we do at least one free job a year to help out, possibly more to help make the neighborhood brighter with the current situation.
Outside of work, I like to mentor/ help with at-risk youth, spend time with my family and kids, ski/ raft/ hike/ horseback ride, sports (hockey, golf, soccer, basketball, anything really), learn about business/self-development as well build my relationship with God through the bible and fellowship, and I love to travel.
