Islip is the hamlet that gave the whole town its name, and it still carries the feel of an old South Shore community. Main Street runs past Islip Town Hall and a row of local shops, while the streets to the south lead toward creeks, canals and the open water of the Great South Bay. Homes range from older houses near the downtown to capes, colonials and ranches on leafy blocks, plus waterfront properties where winter wind comes straight off the bay. We design each display for the house in front of us, using C9 LED lighting and commercial-grade clips that keep rooflines crisp even on the breeziest December nights.
The holidays have a long tradition here. The Islip Chamber of Commerce has hosted a Santa parade down Main Street that ends with a Christmas tree lighting outside Islip Town Hall, and the surrounding neighborhoods glow brighter every year. Dr. Glow helps Islip homeowners and Main Street businesses join in without the ladder work. We handle design, installation, maintenance throughout the season, and takedown and storage when the holidays wrap up. We are licensed and insured, and installs are typically finished within 48 hours of booking, so your home can shine in time for the season's first celebrations.
Around Islip: South Shore Places We Love to Light Up Near
Islip's story runs from William Nicoll's colonial-era estate to the grand Gilded Age properties that once lined the South Shore, and much of that heritage survives in the parks at its edges. Between Heckscher State Park to the east, the Bayard Cutting Arboretum to the west and the Great South Bay to the south, Islip homeowners live surrounded by water and greenery, and a well-lit roofline makes those streets even more inviting in December.
Islip Town Hall and Main StreetThe heart of downtown Islip, where the Chamber's Santa parade travels down Main Street to a tree lighting outside Town Hall.
Heckscher State ParkA 1,657-acre bayfront state park in neighboring East Islip, built on land that was once the estate of Islip's founder, William Nicoll.
Bayard Cutting ArboretumA Gilded Age estate in neighboring Great River with grounds planned alongside Frederick Law Olmsted and a Tudor-style mansion.
Great South BayThe shallow bay between Long Island and Fire Island that shapes Islip's waterfront neighborhoods and its winter weather.

Islip Holiday Lighting FAQs
My Islip home is on a canal off the Great South Bay. Is that a problem for lights?
Not at all, but it does call for careful installation. Waterfront homes catch more wind and salt air, so we fasten every C9 LED run with commercial-grade clips. Maintenance throughout the season is included, so if a storm knocks a section loose or a bulb goes out, we come back and fix it.
Can you light my shop or office on Main Street in Islip?
Yes. Dr. Glow installs commercial holiday lighting for storefronts, restaurants and offices, not just homes. A lit roofline and entry help your business stand out during the holiday season on Main Street. We are licensed and insured. Call our Suffolk line at 631-515-7882 to plan your display.
Which package makes sense for an older home with lots of rooflines?
For homes with multiple peaks, dormers and gables, the Deluxe package is usually the best fit. It covers the full roofline, including gutters, peaks, ridges, dormers and gables, with custom color patterns and a power extension and timer. If you want the yard and trees included too, ask about Premium.
Can I get wreaths and garlands along with the roofline lights?
Yes. Our Premium package includes wreaths, garlands and bows along with everything in Deluxe, plus bushes and hedges with nets or string lights, tree wrapping, driveway and walkway borders and specialty décor like icicles and snowflakes. A full design consultation is part of the package.
Where do my lights go after you take them down?
We store them for you. Takedown and storage are included in every package, so once the holidays are over your lights are removed and kept until the next season, instead of taking up space in your garage. Call 631-515-7882 with any questions about timing.
