Professional Christmas light installation costs about $300 to $1,500, with most single-story homes landing near $500 to $800. Companies typically price at $1.50 to $4 per linear foot of roofline, plus the cost of the lights if they supply them. Multi-story homes, steep roofs, and lots of trees push the number toward the top.
We build websites and SEO for holiday lighting crews, landscapers, and seasonal service businesses, and we run our own home-service companies. Here's the honest breakdown, including when hanging them yourself is the right move.
Roofline only, easy ladder access. The most common starter package and the easiest to quote over the phone.
Roofline plus wrapped trees, shrubs, and walkway accents. The wrapping is where the labor hours add up.
Tall peaks, steep pitches, and extensive landscape lighting. Height and safety gear drive this end of the range.
Plenty of holiday displays are a fine weekend project. Do it yourself if:
Hire out when the roof is steep or two stories, when you'd rather not climb in cold weather, or when you want a polished, evenly-spaced look. Most falls during the holidays happen on home ladders — that alone is worth a quote.
Holiday lighting is a short, intense season — the crews that book it are the ones found first in October and November. A page like this captures those searches. We hand-build the site, add 24/7 AI lead capture, and publish researched seasonal pages. Plans run $249/mo for the site plus lead capture, $597/mo to add the monthly SEO engine, and from $1,750/mo for the full CRM and reputation stack. Month-to-month, and you own everything.

We don't post stock testimonials. On a 15-minute call we screen-share the real dashboards behind our own businesses — live leads, rankings, and the exact page that produced each one. See the proof →
Most full-service quotes include install, January takedown, and sometimes storage. Confirm what's bundled, since removal can be a separate line with some companies.
Depends on the company. Some sell you commercial-grade lights to keep; others lease and reuse them. Owned lights cost more the first year but save over several seasons.
Early. Good crews fill up by mid-November, and many homeowners book in October. Booking early also gets better date choices for install and takedown.
