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.
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 That is the whole reason the walkthrough is free and the reason we do not quote over the phone.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 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.
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.
