      Good questions

      Bulb Guide questions

      What kinds of bulbs and colors can I choose?

      Classic C9 and C7 bulbs, mini lights, net and icicle lights, and color-changing LEDs, in warm white, cool white, multicolor, red and green, icy blue and custom palettes. Our Bulb Guide and Light the House tool help you decide.

      Do I need to provide my own lights?

      No. We provide high-quality, commercial-grade Christmas lighting as part of the installation service, so you only have to choose the look.

      How much does Christmas light installation cost?

      Most installs are priced by the linear feet of lights, the height and pitch of the roof and the extras you choose, such as trees, wreaths and garland. Our Roofline Calculator and Display Builder give planning ranges, and photos or a design visit give you a firm written price.

      Want samples at your house?

      A design visit shows the bulbs at your house at dusk, so you can choose with confidence.
