Christmas light installation in Sheridan, Indiana
Our shop is in Sheridan, so the drive to a job on Main Street is a few minutes and we are the company that is already here rather than the one coming up from the south.

Jingle & Glow Co is a Sheridan business, and we install Christmas lights and outdoor lighting on houses and farm buildings across the town and Adams Township.
Sheridan sits at the top of Hamilton County where the farm ground starts, and the houses here run older and lower than the new build streets down in Westfield. Adams Township properties often mean deep lots, mature trees along the road and a barn or a shop building that people forget can be lit too.
Because this is our own town, a Sheridan job starts on a street we already know. We still measure everything. An 1890s house on Main Street and a ranch out on a township road need different clip hardware and very different lengths of wire, and neither of them is going to match a set that came off a shelf. You can read the whole sequence on our how it works page.
What goes on the house is professional grade bulbs and wiring, cut to length on site in your own driveway. Season long maintenance is included because we are ten minutes away, and takedown in January is part of the job rather than a second invoice.
Sheridan is also where we are based, so a run that goes dark in the middle of December is a few minutes away rather than a trip across the county. Town information, including anything your own neighborhood publishes about exterior decoration, is on the Town of Sheridan site.
A lit elevation at dusk, the shape most of the older houses in town take.
What lighting in Sheridan needs
Older rooflines
Century houses along Main Street and the streets off it have eaves and porches that a fixed length store set will never fit. Everything is cut to the run.
Deep lots and long drives
Out on the township roads the drive is often the darkest part of getting home, and lighting it is usually the first thing worth doing.
Barns and shop buildings
A lit barn or pole building reads from a long way off on flat ground, and almost nobody thinks to ask for it.
Getting to Sheridan from Sheridan
There is no drive. A job in town is a few minutes from where we are based, which is the shortest trip we make all season.
Questions from Sheridan
Are you actually based in Sheridan?
Yes. Jingle & Glow Co is a Sheridan business and Taylor and Tanner both work out of here.
It also means a maintenance call in Sheridan is a short trip rather than a scheduled route, which matters most in the middle of December.
Do you light farm buildings and barns?
Yes. A barn, a pole building or a shop with a long clean roofline takes light well and is visible across open ground for a long way.
The design question is usually access and power rather than the run itself, and both get looked at on the measuring visit.
Can you light an older house with a wraparound porch?
Yes, and porches are some of the most rewarding work in town. A porch roof, its posts and the rail all take light, and the result is warmer than a single line along the eave.
Older trim needs clips chosen for what is actually there, which is another reason the measuring visit happens before anything is quoted.
