Pricing, timing, and guarantee questions

How much does Christmas light installation cost on Long Island?

Most Long Island homes pay between $1,400 and $2,100 for full-service Christmas light installation, with the typical job landing around $1,400. Smaller homes or a single focused display, like just the roofline or one tree, start around our $1,000 minimum and run up to about $1,400. Larger properties or a full-property display, roofline, trees, bushes, and walkway all lit, usually fall between $2,100 and $2,900. Those numbers cover the middle half of what we actually quote across Long Island, so most homeowners land inside that range rather than at the extremes. What moves the price is the size of your home, how much of it you want lit, and how detailed the design is, not some flat per-foot rate. The only way to know your exact number is to see your actual house, so run your address through our free AI quote tool and get pricing built around your property instead of a neighborhood average.

What does permanent LED roofline lighting cost?

Permanent, year-round LED roofline lighting typically runs $2,500 to $9,000 for a small-to-medium home, installed once and used for every season after that. There’s no set minimum the way there is with seasonal lights, because pricing depends entirely on the size of your roofline, how much of your home you want covered, and the complexity of the design. A straightforward ranch with a simple roofline costs less than a large home with dormers, multiple rooflines, and extra trim work. Unlike seasonal lighting, this isn’t a price you pay every year: it’s a one-time installation that then gets used for Christmas, other holidays, birthdays, or just because, all controlled from an app instead of a ladder. Because the range is wide and every home is different, the number that actually matters is the one built for your house. Our free AI quote tool will get you there without a sales visit required just to hear a ballpark.

What is included in the price?

One price covers the full job: design, professional installation, mid-season support, and takedown when the season ends, so you’re not nickel-and-dimed for pieces of the process. That starts with a design built for your specific home, not a generic layout, followed by our crew installing and testing everything before they leave. If anything fails partway through the season, that’s covered under our Stay-Lit Guarantee, meaning a crew is back out to fix it within 48 hours. And when the season’s over, the same crew that put your lights up takes them down again, no reminder call required from you. What you’re not paying for separately is the hardware itself: you’re not buying, storing, or replacing your own lights year to year. Pricing starts at our $1,000 minimum and moves up based on the size of your home. For a number built around your actual property, our free AI quote tool gets you there in minutes.

When should I book?

As early as you can, ideally before Thanksgiving. Installation slots fill up in order as the season approaches, not on a first-come rush the week before Christmas, so the homeowners who book early get first pick of dates and lock in a lower price before our minimum climbs closer to the holidays. Waiting until December doesn’t just risk a worse price, it risks not getting on the schedule at all if the calendar fills before your street comes up. This matters even more if you want a specific look done right: a rushed, last-minute install gets less design attention than one booked with room to plan. There’s no real downside to booking early, since your install date gets scheduled around your spot in line, not the date you called. If you’ve been meaning to get a quote, that’s the actual first step, not a final decision, so there’s no reason to wait on it.

Who takes the lights down, and when?

We do. Takedown is part of the standard service, not a separate call you have to make or a favor you have to ask for once the holidays are over. The same crew that installed your lights comes back and takes everything down once the season wraps, so you’re not the one on a ladder in January, and you’re not left staring at a half-lit house into February wondering who to call. This is exactly the kind of thing that goes wrong with installers who treat lighting as a side service instead of their whole business: the install gets done, and takedown quietly becomes your problem. With us, it’s built into what you already paid for, scheduled the same way your install was. You don’t need to track a date on your calendar or chase anyone down. If your current setup has left you doing your own takedown the last few years, that alone is worth switching over.

Do you serve my town?

We install both seasonal and permanent lighting across Long Island, so if you’re a homeowner or business here, there’s a good chance the answer is yes. Coverage can still vary a bit by neighborhood and season, especially during our busiest install weeks, so the fastest way to know for certain is to check with your actual address rather than guess based on a town name. Our free AI quote tool asks for your address up front and will tell you right away whether we’re covering your area for the dates you need, instead of leaving you to wonder after filling out a form. If you’re right on the edge of our service area or have a more complex property, a quick call gets you a straight answer faster than back-and-forth emails. Don’t assume you’re out of range before checking. Long Island is a big island, but it’s also our whole business, so most addresses here are well within reach.

How fast do you respond if a light fails?

Within 48 hours. That’s the promise behind our Stay-Lit Guarantee: if a strand dims, flickers, or goes dark during your season, we get a crew back out to fix it within 48 hours of hearing about it, not whenever someone eventually has time. You don’t have to diagnose the problem, get on a ladder, or wait around not knowing if anyone’s coming. You just let us know, and we handle it. This matters because a partial outage doesn’t fix itself, and a dark section of your display sitting there for weeks defeats the whole point of having it installed in the first place. A long season puts real wear on bulbs and connections no matter how solid the original install was, so the real question isn’t whether something might need attention, it’s how fast someone shows up when it does. 48 hours is our answer, in writing, not a best-effort promise we hope to hit.

How do I get an exact price for my house?

Run your address through our free AI quote tool. It’s built to price your actual home, not spit out a generic Long Island average, so you get a real number to work with instead of a range that may or may not apply to your property. It takes a few minutes, there’s no sales call required just to see pricing, and you’re not committing to anything by checking. From there, you can see where your home lands relative to our published ranges, whether that’s the $1,000 to $2,900 range for seasonal lighting depending on size, or the $2,500 to $9,000 range for permanent, year-round LED lighting. If your property is unusual, an odd shape, multiple structures, a lot of roofline, the tool still gets you a strong starting point, and we can refine it from there. Most homeowners are surprised how specific the number actually is once they see it, instead of the vague answer they got from other installers.
