Residential Christmas & Holiday Light Installation on Long Island

Common questions

How much does professional Christmas light installation cost on Long Island?

Most homeowners pay $1,400 to $2,100 for a full-service install, with the typical job landing around $1,400. Smaller homes or a single focused display start around our $1,000 minimum, while large or full-property displays run $2,100 to $2,900. Where your home lands depends on its size, how much you want lit, and how detailed the design is, not a flat per-light rate. That price covers the whole job: design, installation, and a working display when the crew leaves, not just materials. Book early, since our minimum climbs the closer you get to the holidays.

Is it really worth paying someone instead of doing it myself?

It depends what your weekend and your safety are worth to you. DIY means buying lights, storing bins all year, testing strands that half-work, and getting on a ladder near your gutters and roofline yourself. Hiring us means a designed layout instead of a straight line of clips, a trained crew that does this for a living, and our insurance covering the work instead of your homeowner’s policy covering an accident. You also get our Stay-Lit Guarantee: if anything fails mid-season, we’re back out within 48 hours, no troubleshooting a string of lights yourself in the cold. For a lot of homeowners, the real cost of DIY isn’t the lights, it’s the time and risk that never show up on a receipt.

What happens if a strand goes out in the middle of the season?

You reach out, and we fix it within 48 hours, that’s the whole promise behind our Stay-Lit Guarantee. You don’t have to find the dead section yourself, get on a ladder, or leave a dark patch on your house until you can deal with it later. A long season puts real wear on bulbs and connections no matter how solid the original install was, so outages happen even on well-installed systems. What matters is how fast someone shows up to fix it, not whether it could happen at all. We built this guarantee because plenty of homeowners have been burned by installers who disappear after the invoice clears. With us, the job isn’t finished until your display is actually working, every night, the whole season.

Are you insured to work on my roof and gutters?

We carry full insurance coverage, and we’ll send over a certificate of insurance if you’d like one on file. That matters because our crews are on ladders, near your gutters, and working close to your roofline and electrical outlets, exactly the kind of work you want a properly insured company handling instead of a guy with a truck and a ladder. Our installers are also CLIPA-certified, meaning they’ve trained specifically for this kind of lighting work rather than learning on your house. Beyond the paperwork, you can check our actual track record: a 5.0-star rating across 172 Google reviews from Long Island homeowners who had crews on their roofs before you. Ask for the certificate, read the reviews, and you’ll have real answers instead of just our word for it.

Do I have to buy or store my own Christmas lights?

No. We supply commercial-grade lights as part of the installation, so you’re not buying strands, finding space for bins in the garage, or discovering half of last year’s lights are dead when you dig them out. You’re paying for a finished, working display, not a pile of materials you assemble yourself. That also means no shopping for replacements when a big-box strand burns out halfway through the season, and no scrambling to find a matching color years later when a section fails. Everything from sourcing to installing to eventually taking it all down again is on us. If you’ve spent past seasons untangling lights in a cold garage, this is the part of hiring a professional installer that homeowners tend to appreciate most once they stop doing it themselves.
