Cost in the United States
Most US homeowners pay $600–$1,200 for a full-service package on a typical single-family home. Booking shifts have moved earlier — many pros now sell out by Halloween. Multi-year contracts often discount 10–15%.
What affects the cost?
- Home height — two-story homes need lifts or extension ladders ($100–$300 surcharge)
- Linear footage — long rooflines and complex peaks add wire and labor
- Light density — C9 incandescent-style bulbs cost more than mini-LEDs
- Timing — early-bird customers (booking by October) save 10–20%
- Region — Northeast and Midwest are most expensive; South cheapest
How to save
- Book by early October — early-bird discounts of 10–20% are common
- Multi-year contracts — lock in price for 2–3 years
- Limit to roofline — biggest visual impact for least dollars
- Group with neighbors — pros discount adjacent jobs
