What holiday lighting actually costs

Most companies make you sit through a sales call to hear a number. Here are our real rates, the ranges most homes land in, and exactly what's included.

Free Design Preview

See your house lit up before you pay anything

Most companies ask you to picture it. We show you.

Send us a photo of your home, or we walk the property with you. Either way you get a real mock-up of your own house with the lights on, the garland hung, and the trees wrapped, before you commit to a single dollar.

  1. 01

    Send a photo, or we come out

    Text us a picture of your house, or we walk the property with you. Same design either way, and plenty of people never need the house call.

  2. 02

    You see your house with the lights on

    A real mock-up of your home, plus the price. Change the color, add a tree, drop the garland. Nothing is due.

  3. 03

    10% holds your install date

    About $200 on a typical $2,000 job, and it comes off your total. We text you the link and it takes thirty seconds. The deposit is what locks your spot on the calendar, so it isn't refundable once your date is held.

  4. 04

    We install, service, take down, and store it

    January takedown, free off-season storage, and in-season repairs on us. You never buy or store a single strand.

Typical Investment

What a whole home usually runs

Totals depend on the house, so these are honest ranges rather than a single number.

Roofline only, single story
$800 to $1,600
Roofline plus a few trees
$1,800 to $2,500
Full front-of-home display
$3,000 to $4,500
Estate and large custom
$7,000+

Most clients land between $1,800 and $4,000 in their first season, and a short single-story roofline can start at $800. Book in September for 15% off, or in October for 10% off. The November and December install calendars usually sell out.

Year Over Year

Year one is the big one. It gets cheaper after that.

Year one covers custom design and fabrication. We measure your home, cut every strand to fit it exactly, and build a display that belongs to that house and no other. That work is done once.

After year one, the heavy lifting is behind you. We store the display, maintain it, and repair it in the off-season, then bring it back ready to hang. That's why year two and year three cost less than year one.

  • Year 1: design, fabrication, and full-service install
  • Year 2: 10% off your Year 1 price
  • Year 3: 10% off your Year 1 price
  • Stored, maintained, and repaired by us between seasons

A 10% deposit holds your spot on the install calendar. We text or email it to you once you approve the design, and your date is locked as soon as it comes through. Want to spread the rest out? Monthly payments start at $149/month on a three-year agreement.
