Christmas Light Installation Cost in Utah

Year 1 costs more because it includes your lights, timer, and custom design — not just the install. Stay with us and Year 2+ drops to installation only. Every job is custom-quoted for your property.

Year 1 vs. Year 2+

Your first season builds the display. Every season after that, you only pay for us to put it back up.

Year 1

Parts + Installation

Your first year includes the lights, timer, and custom design — plus professional installation.

  • Commercial-grade lights
  • Timer
  • Custom design for your property
  • Professional installation

Year 2+

Installation Only

$299starting at

Stay with us and your price drops — we already own the lights, so you pay for installation only.

  • Professional reinstallation
  • Your existing custom design
  • Same premium light package

Examples of what changes the quote

These are scope examples, not flat packages. We measure the selected design before confirming a price.

Focused single-story outline

A front eave or garage line with straightforward ladder access can stay close to the starting scope when no trees or upper peaks are added.

Multi-peak two-story home

Upper peaks, long garage runs, roof transitions, and taller working heights add footage, setup, equipment, and installation time.

Trees or commercial property

Tree size and canopy density, multiple buildings, operating-hour coordination, pedestrian areas, approvals, and service access can materially change the project.

Starting prices apply to qualifying scopes. Your written quote should identify the planned coverage and what is included. Ask before approving if you want a feature priced as an optional line item.

What's Always Included

Whether it's Year 1 or Year 10, your quote covers the full season experience — not just hanging lights once.

  • Custom-designed commercial-grade lights
  • Professional installation
  • In-season maintenance
  • Takedown after the holidays
  • Off-season storage
  • Replacement of normal bulb failures

Christmas light pricing FAQs

Why does the first year cost more?

The first-season quote includes the commercial-grade lights, timer, custom design, preparation, and installation. Returning-customer pricing can be lower because the established lighting package is already in storage.

Does the price include maintenance and takedown?

Seasonal pricing includes in-season service for normal bulb failures on the display we installed, takedown in January or early February, and organized off-season storage.

Can I reduce the scope to fit a budget?

Yes. Ask us to separate the main roofline from optional peaks, garages, trees, bushes, wreaths, or other accents. Prioritizing the most visible lines is often better than spreading a budget across every feature.

Do commercial projects use the same starting price?

Commercial work is quoted for its actual scope, access, scheduling, approvals, buildings, public areas, and maintenance needs. Contact us for a property-specific proposal rather than relying on a residential starting price.
