Real Pricing for Real Homes
What does it actually cost to put up Christmas lights? Today we're breaking down pricing for a smaller home with three different package options that people typically choose.
Important note: This quote is based on commercial-grade LED lights. Keep that in mind if you're getting estimates from other companies. We're not giving pricing on incandescent lights or installing your own lights—we're talking about purchasing commercial-grade Christmas lights from us and having them professionally installed.
Package 1: Basic Roofline - $800
The first level or basic package includes just the roofline. The roofline is the edges along the top of your house—all the edges of the roof including down the sides of the house.
What's included:
- All roofline edges
- Down the sides of the house
- Commercial-grade LED lights
- Professional installation
- Total: $800 (tax included)
This gives you that classic Christmas light look with clean lines outlining your home's profile.
Package 2: Roofline + Ridgelines + Walkway - $1,500
The next level up adds the ridgelines—everything on top of the house along the peaks. This really gives your display a nice, full look. We also typically add walkway stake lights at this level.
What's included:
- Everything from Package 1
- All ridge peaks on top of house
- Walkway stake lights
- Commercial-grade LED lights
- Professional installation
- Total: $1,500 (tax included)
This is the most popular mid-tier option that makes your home look complete and professionally decorated.
Package 3: Full Display with Accents - $2,300
The final package goes all out! We add wreaths, wrap columns with mini lights, outline windows, and frame the door. This really fills out the house beautifully.
What's included:
- Everything from Package 2
- Wreaths (typically 2)
- Wrapped columns with mini lights
- Lights around each window
- Lights around front door
- Commercial-grade LED lights
- Professional installation
- Total: $2,300 (tax included)
This is the top-tier option that creates a stunning, magazine-worthy holiday display.
Mix and Match Options
All this can be mixed and matched—we can do more or less or customize however you'd like. But these three packages represent what people typically go with for Christmas lights on smaller homes in Midlothian and Prosper.
Common customizations:
- Add wreaths to basic package
- Skip walkway lights but add windows
- More or fewer accent pieces
- Different color combinations
- Additional trees or landscape features
Why Commercial-Grade LED Lights?
Benefits of commercial-grade LEDs:
- Last 15-20+ years (not 1-2 seasons)
- 90% less energy than incandescent
- Much brighter and more vibrant
- Can connect 300+ bulbs per outlet
- Interchangeable bulbs for color changes
- Professional appearance
Compare to big-box store lights:
- Residential lights last 1-2 seasons
- Dim, disappointing appearance
- Can't customize or replace bulbs
- Fixed lengths with no flexibility
What's Included in Installation
Professional installation means:
- We provide all lights and materials
- Expert installation using proper clips
- No ladder climbing for you
- Safe, secure attachment
- Professional design guidance
- Removal after the holidays
- Optional storage services
Getting Your Custom Quote
Every home is different, so while these packages give you a ballpark idea, we'll need to see your specific home to give an exact quote. Factors that affect pricing include:
- Total linear feet of roofline
- Number and height of peaks
- Home height (single vs. two-story)
- Number of windows and doors
- Landscape features to light
- Accessibility and complexity
