How Much Does Holiday Light Installation Cost?

Professional Christmas and holiday light installation costs, including install, takedown, and storage — what affects the final price.

Actualizado: 2026-05-12HireLocal Editorial

Professional holiday light installation costs $300–$1,500 for a typical US home, including install, takedown, and basic maintenance. Most pros include lights (rented), labor, ladders/lifts, and a service warranty. Adding lawn displays, wreaths, and inflatables raises costs. Book by early October — most pros are fully scheduled by November. In Poland expect PLN 800–4,000; in the Netherlands €300–€1,200.

Holiday light cost by package

PackageTypical cost (USD)
Basic roofline only (single-story)$300–$600
Roofline + landscaping (single-story)$500–$900
Full home (roofline + trees + walkway, two-story)$900–$1,800
Estate (full home + extensive landscape)$1,500–$5,000+

What's typically included?

  • Professional-grade LED lights — usually rented; pro keeps in storage off-season
  • Install + takedown — most pros mount lights in November, remove in January
  • Custom-cut wire runs — fitted to your home's geometry, not the off-the-shelf kit
  • Service warranty — replacement of bulbs/strands during the season
  • Storage — pro stores lights off-season, no garage clutter

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

Costos por país

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%.

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
