The Honest Guide to Holiday Lighting Prices
How Much Does Professional Christmas Light Installation Cost in New Jersey?
Professional Christmas light installation in New Jersey starts at $1,500. Our three set packages run from $1,500 to $3,200, and our fully custom Santa package is quoted for your home. Every price includes the lights, installation, takedown in January and off-season storage, so there are no surprise fees.
We know "it depends" is a frustrating answer, so here is exactly what it depends on.
Our Packages and What They Start At
Every package is custom-designed for your home. Each one is installed, maintained and removed for you, with a 24-hour fix guarantee.

Your final price depends on your home, and we quote every job in person so you get a real number.
Santa
Fully custom, designed from scratch around your home. This is the one with a bit of everything. It can include:
The Custom Package
- "Linkable" designs for rooflines
- Fun color options
- Unique displays
- Religious items
Some items may be special order or sell out fast, so book early.
What Moves the Price
- Roofline length. This is the biggest factor. A ranch with a short roofline costs far less than a sprawling colonial, and a second or third story adds labor and safety work.
- Wreaths and garland. Each package includes a set number, and extras can be added.
- Shrubs and trees. The more you wrap, the more lights and labor it takes. We wrap trees up to 10 feet.
- Bulb style and color. Warm white is the classic. Fun colors and specialty looks can change the price.
- Timing. Booking early gets you the best install dates. Our cutoff for installs before Christmas is December 10.

Questions We Hear on Every Call
Do you supply the lights?
Yes. We use commercial-grade lights, and they stay our property, which is why storage is included in your price. We do not install customer-supplied lights.
What if a bulb goes out?
Call us. We fix any light issue within 24 hours, and all installs come with a full warranty. (Damage from storms or flooding is not covered.)
Will you damage my roof?
No. We use clips made for roofs, and we are fully licensed and insured.
When do the lights come down?
In January, weather permitting. We take them down and store them, so you do not have to touch a thing.
How do I pay?
A 50% deposit when you approve the quote, and the balance right after installation. Returning customers get 10% off in years two and three.
Do you service my town?
We install throughout northern New Jersey, and we also do commercial lighting for storefronts, healthcare buildings, car dealerships and HOAs. Not sure if we cover you? Call or message us and we will tell you right away.
The Bottom Line
Professional lighting starts at $1,500. Prancer and Dasher add more wreaths, garland and shrub lighting as you go up, and Santa is built entirely around you. Now you know how each choice moves the price.
