Key takeaways
- Most pricing starts with linear feet of roofline
- Height, pitch and extras move the number
- A quote should list what is included
- Ask about takedown, storage and repairs
What drives the price
Most installs are priced by how many linear feet of lighting go up, with adjustments for roof height, steepness and how many gables and peaks there are. Trees, shrubs, wreaths and special features add to the total.
Our Roofline Calculator shows how a planning range works and our Display Builder lets you add extras and see the range move.
What a quote should include
A good quote lists the lights, the design, the installation, repairs during the season and takedown. If storage is included, it should say so.
Ask whether the lights are provided and whether you own them. Ask what happens if a strand goes out in week three.
Comparing quotes
A lower price is not always a better deal if it leaves out takedown, repairs or quality lights. Compare what is included, not just the number.
A photo estimate is often enough to compare. For larger homes a short visit gives a firmer price.
