So it's the most wonderful time of the year, unless you're the one assigned the task of untangling the lights, climbing an icy ladder is 20 degree weather is neither fun nor safe. Many people hire a professional lighting company to avoid the risk, or because they don’t like heights. Some people hire a professional because they’re getting up in years and no longer feel comfortable handling the task. Others simply don’t have time to hang lights or would rather relax and leave the job to pros and spending hours hanging and rearranging your home's exterior holiday decorations.
If you're in the latter category, then this might be the year to give yourself the gift of hiring a Christmas lighting professional...
The height of your home or building may play an important part in pricing your holiday light installation. Ladders are adequate to install lights on most homes, with installations service fee costs is about $100 for single a story service fee and $250 for two story houses
Running lights along your windows, doors and over the roof will typically cost 9.00 per foot of lights. (MichaelsLawnServices supply the lights, but you can always use your own.)
Putting lights on trees in your yard varies by height, but generally expect to pay about $75-$250 per tree.
Typically there is a separate fee for removal -- many companies charge about half of the total installation fee. (However, Michael's lawn services include installation & the removal).
Don't forget the electricity bill. Incandescent lights use exponentially more power than LED lights, so plan accordingly. Depending on usage, your bill can increase anywhere from $40-$300
