    About roofline lights

    Illustrative planning ranges at typical U.S. rates, rounded and not a quote. Real prices depend on roof height, pitch, access and the design. A written price comes after photos or a visit.

    What sets the length

    Four things behind every roofline.

    The front eave

    The width of the house sets the main run.

    Gables and peaks

    Each gable adds two sloped edges, and steep gables are longer.

    Garages and extensions

    Every jog in the roof adds length.

    Height

    Taller roofs need lifts, which affects the price and the time.

    Good questions

    Roofline Calculator questions

    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.

    How long does installation take?

    Many home installations take a few hours to a day, depending on the size of the house and the complexity of the design. Large properties and shows are planned in phases.

    When should I book?

    As early as you can. The best installation windows fill first, and early fall installs are comfortable and dry. Our Season Planner helps you pick a lights-on date and works backward to a booking date.
