Christmas light installation cost

Priced by the foot, measured at your house.

One rate per foot of roofline lit, with January takedown on the same invoice, not a second one. What moves your total is how much of the house you want lit — not what we decide to charge you.

A white two-story farmhouse at dusk with three dormers, a front porch and a side gable, every roofline and dormer edge outlined in warm-white bulbs, and a lifted white pickup parked in the driveway.

What you get

What the price covers

The same list as everywhere else on this site, because it is the same offer. One number, for the whole season.

Commercial-grade C9 bulbs
not the strands that fail in year two
Strands cut and fitted to your roofline
measured, not estimated
All clips and fasteners
nothing is stapled or nailed
Timer set to your hours
on at dusk, off when you say
Installation labor and equipment
our ladders, our insurance
Mid-season repair visits
a bulb goes out, we come back
Takedown in January
included, not a second invoice
Off-season storage
we keep it, you don't

Removal goes on the same invoice as the install. It is not billed again in January.

Your house

Why two houses the same size get different numbers

Nobody knows their own roofline until somebody measures it, and rooflines vary far more than square footage suggests. Two houses the same size can differ by a hundred feet depending on how many gables, dormers and separate roof planes they have. That is the whole reason the walkthrough is free and the reason we do not quote over the phone.

A large brick and stone house at night across a wide lawn, its many-gabled roof, three dormers and the garage wing all outlined in warm-white bulbs.

A ballpark

Get a feel for your footage

The estimator on the home page starts from a house shaped like yours and gives you a rough length of roofline. Use it to orient yourself before you call.

Try the estimator

It is a starting guess, not a measurement. The firm number comes off the tape measure, at your house, before anything goes up.

Why measure

Why we measure instead of guessing

A quote that doubles when someone finally looks at the house is how a job falls apart. We measure the roofline foot by foot, cut every strand to fit it, and hand you the firm number before a single bulb goes up.
