Christmas Light Installation - Know what to expect on pricing. Don't get over charged!!
Christmas Light Installation Pricing
On average, homeowners pay $500 for professional installation of their exterior holiday lighting, with a typical range between $302 and $707. The light strands alone cost between $80 and $300. Installation adds another $120 to $500 to your budget. For multistory residential projects, the total price can go up to $1,500.
On Thanksgiving weekend, your neighborhood will start to light up with Christmas decorations. It brightens the lawns in the dead of winter and dresses up your home. Hiring a pro can turn your property into a showcase for the entire neighborhood while making sure the wiring and installation is safe.

Most professional lighting installations range between $220 and $600 for labor alone. You can hire an individual by the hour at a rate between $60 and $100.
Larger companies that bring their own lights offer packages that cost between $300 and $1,200 and include the light strands, installation, and takedown.
Price of Professional Christmas Light Hanging Per Foot
Experts typically charge between $1.25 and $3 per linear foot. That includes all aspects of the installation, but not the lights themselves. If you don't own your own holiday lighting, add another $0.50 to $2 per foot to that cost depending on the type of bulb you purchase. Clarify whether the per-foot quote includes takedown after the season.
Prices by Home Size
A small ranch home may only cost $220, while a multi-story residence can range up to $1,000 for installation alone. The size of your home will be one of the largest factors in the price of your holiday lighting installation. The more space you need to cover, the more money you will spend on both lights and labor.

Hanging on a High Roof Expect to pay $150 to $1,200, or about 20% above regular installation prices if your roof and eaves are difficult to reach. That increased budget is due to the special equipment, like extended height ladders, your installer might have to bring for the job. Any cost increase should be mentioned in the initial quote.
I hope this helps, its always best to have a little knowledge about what your asking the pro's to do.
