Pricing for Bigger Custom Homes
We recently showed you pricing for smaller homes, but there are a lot of big custom homes here in the Midlothian and Waxahachie area. Today we're breaking down what people typically choose and three different package levels for these larger custom homes.
Important: These aren't set package tiers that we sell—everybody does what they want, and you can do as much or as little as you like. We're giving you these examples to help you understand what different options cost for your house.
Tier 1: Basic Roofline - $1,400
Just like with smaller houses, the basic package includes the roofline of the house. That's everything on the edge—all the way around the front of the house, and then down the sides as well, all the way to the back corner.
What's included:
- All roofline edges around front
- Down both sides to back corners
- Commercial-grade C9 LED lights
- Professional installation
- Total: $1,400 (tax included)
This creates that classic Christmas light outline on larger homes while keeping costs manageable.
Tier 2: Roofline + Dormers + Ridge Lines - $3,400
The second tier for a custom house like this is what a lot of people go with. We add the dormers—outlining every single one with our C9 lights. Then we add the ridge lines, which are everything on top of the house—all of these peaks. The ridge lines go all the way around to the backside of the house.
This really fills out the Christmas lights and makes it look really nice on these custom homes.
What's included:
- Everything from Tier 1
- All dormers outlined
- All ridge peaks on top of house
- Ridge lines to backside
- Commercial-grade C9 LED lights
- Professional installation
- Total: $3,400 (tax included)
This is the most popular choice for custom homes because it creates that full, complete look.
Tier 3: Full Premium Display - $6,300
To really go all out with this house, we add the finishing touches. We add wreaths on all the windows, stake lights all along both sides of the sidewalk, outline the flower beds to make the walkway really light up, put mini lights on the posts, and wrap the trees with lights.
This is the all-out tier of Christmas lights for this house.
What's included:
- Everything from Tier 2
- Wreaths on all windows
- Stake lights along walkways (both sides)
- Flower bed outline lights
- Mini lights wrapping posts
- Trees wrapped with lights
- Commercial-grade LED lights and mini lights
- Professional installation
- Total: $6,300 (tax included)
This creates a spectacular, magazine-worthy display that showcases the full beauty of your custom home.

What Makes Custom Homes Different
Large custom homes have unique features that affect pricing:
- More roofline footage
- Multiple dormers to outline
- Extensive ridge lines
- More windows for wreaths
- Longer walkways
- Multiple trees and posts
- Complex architectural details
These features create stunning displays but require more materials and installation time.
Why Custom Home Pricing Varies
Even among large custom homes, pricing can differ based on:
- Total roofline linear footage
- Number of dormers
- Height (single vs. two-story dormers)
- Number of ridge peaks
- Number of windows
- Landscape features (trees, beds, walkways)
- Accessibility and complexity
That's why we provide custom quotes for every home!
