The City of St. Louis has some of the most distinctive residential architecture in the country — Lafayette Square’s Painted Ladies, Central West End mansions, and brick neighborhoods from Tower Grove to Soulard to the Hill to Shaw. Each has its own language, and the right holiday display works with it rather than against it.
Brick is the city’s defining material, and warm-white lighting flatters those rust and earth tones beautifully — accenting turrets, brackets, and Victorian millwork without overwhelming the texture. City lots are smaller and more urban, so precise, well-aimed displays with controlled light spill read best on close-in streets.
City projects involve considerations suburban work doesn’t — historic district guidelines, narrow-lot constraints, brick-facade installation, and closer-quarters coordination with neighbors. Each neighborhood has a distinct architectural character that drives a different approach: the Central West End is not Soulard, which is not Tower Grove or the Hill, so we tailor every display to the block rather than a city-wide template. On the prized historic streets — Lafayette Square, Westmoreland and Portland Place, the CWE — we use warm tones and ornament-revealing accents that respect period character, and we can provide documentation for design review where districts or private covenants require it. Average project scope is smaller than the county, but the design detail runs high.

This was our first time in 30 years hiring a lighting company to put our Christmas lights up and we were 100% glad we did! They were quick to send us a bid, and had our lights up in no time! When we had a few lights fall due to high winds, they were quick to respond and fix. Would highly recommend!Posted on Google Mark FernandezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very nice and elegant look. Very responsive as well. Last year I called and they had my lights up the same day! I’ve used them for the past three years and plan to continue!Posted on Google Jody WoodwardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were very happy with Santa's Elves. We've always done our own outdoor decorating, and it was so great to not have to get out there in the cold to put up and take down the lights. Everything looked great and worked perfectly all season, and Santa's Elves beat the pricing of other bids we got by quite a bit! Communication was also excellent!Posted on Google Kathryn YoungTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our first year not hanging our own lights and they were spot on. The lights and big wreath were exactly as we wanted!Posted on Google francine pinkowskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great communication and price. We are so happy we found Santa's Elves to help us make our season more merry! Great selection of light choices. I love that they will check throughout the season to make sure all our lights are working and secured on our roof. Every year I was scared for my kids putting up the lights and then falling off the roof. Leave it to the professionals!!! Can't wait to add more lights next year!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
