What affects the price?
Roofline length
The single biggest factor. 100 feet vs 400 feet is a big difference. We measure exactly during the free quote.
Trees & bushes
Full tree wraps add $150-$400 per tree depending on size. Bushes and topiaries are quick add-ons.
Roof complexity
Simple gable rooflines install fast. Multi-peak, turret, or steep slate roofs require more time and safety gear.
Extras
Wreaths ($35-$85 each), garland ($25/ft installed), custom bows, pathway lights — all priced clearly upfront.
Design complexity
Simple warm white = standard pricing. Multi-color custom patterns, double-row, or themed displays cost more.
Booking timing
Book by August for best rates. October-December rush installs may carry a premium for last-minute scheduling.

Cheaper isn't always cheaper
A $400 Thumbtack handyman might hang lights for less — and you'll spend the season fixing what they broke. Lights fall mid-December. Strands burn out. Nobody answers the phone. You climb the ladder yourself.
We charge more because we deliver more: commercial-grade C9 LEDs that last 5+ seasons, custom-cut to your home, with free service all season long, and a lifetime warranty. When something goes wrong (and rarely it does), we come fix it that week.

Why is custom installation more expensive than DIY?+
Custom-cut C9 LED, commercial-grade materials, professional installation, free in-season service, professional takedown, year-round storage, and lifetime warranty all add real value. DIY costs less upfront but you replace bulbs constantly, store everything, install yourself, and have no warranty.
Are there any hidden fees?+
Never. The quote you receive is the price you pay. No fuel surcharges, no equipment fees, no surprise upgrades. Materials, installation, service, takedown, and storage are all included.
Do you offer multi-year contracts?+
Yes — many of our customers prefer multi-year contracts for locked-in pricing and guaranteed priority scheduling. We typically offer modest savings for 3-year and 5-year commitments.
What's the cheapest way to use you?+
For budget-conscious homeowners, we recommend starting with custom C9 LED roofline only (often $700 to $2,500+ for typical homes). You can add tree wrapping, wreaths, and garland in future years as budget allows.

Christmas light installation pricing in DFW varies significantly based on your home size, architectural complexity, location, and design scope. This page provides the most full transparent breakdown of real-world pricing across the DFW market, with specific ranges for every home size and every city. Most installers refuse to publish pricing online — we publish it because we believe in transparent honest business and homeowners deserve to know what to expect before they request a quote.
What drives Christmas light installation cost
Several factors determine the cost of your Christmas light installation: Home size is the biggest factor — larger homes have more linear feet of roofline, more architectural detail, and require more materials and labor. Architectural complexity matters significantly — homes with multiple gables, dormers, valleys, returns, and decorative trim require custom-cut strands and skilled installation. Tree count and size for wrapping — mature live oaks take 800-2,500 lights each, smaller trees less. Additional services — wreaths, garland, landscape lighting, pathway lights all add to the total. Property location — luxury neighborhoods (Highland Park, Preston Hollow, Westlake) typically have higher install costs due to larger homes and more detailed architecture. Design scope — minimalist warm-white roofline displays cost less than full-property full treatments.

Full property treatment with extensive tree work: $2,500+ total. Estate properties 8,000+ sq ft (Highland Park estates, Westlake Vaquero Club, Preston Hollow, multi-acre Lucas estates): roofline starts at $2,500+ and goes up significantly.
