Christmas Light Installation FAQs
Straight answers about pricing, what is included, scheduling and service. If your question is not here, call us on (609) 546-9500.
Pricing & Agreements
How much does Christmas light installation cost in NJ?
Every display is quoted on the property. As a starting point we recommend a budget of at least 50% of your home’s square footage, so a 3,000 sq ft house is typically around a $1,500 display. Your free quote gives you an exact number before anything is ordered.
Is there a minimum?
Yes. We have a $1,000 minimum per holiday display.
Why do you work on 3 to 5 year agreements?
Because the lights are cut to fit your house. Once a strand is fabricated to your roofline it cannot be reused on another property, so the cost of that custom work is spread across the term rather than charged up front.
Will my price go up during the term?
No. This is a lease agreement, and once you sign, your price is locked for the length of the term. If you sign at $1,500, that is your price each year of the contract. It does not increase with inflation.
Do commercial properties price the same way?
Not quite. Commercial displays are quoted after a site visit, because frontage, building height and access affect the work more than square footage does.
What Is Included
Do you supply the lights, or do I?
We supply everything. We use commercial grade bulbs and strands manufactured for us, cut and fabricated to fit your roofline. There is nothing for you to buy, untangle or store.
What does a display usually cover?
Rooflines, peaks, dormers and columns, tree wrapping, shrubs and landscape beds, and walkway and driveway runs. Warm white, classic multi color or a custom palette.
Do you take the lights down and store them?
Yes, both are included. We remove everything in January and February, label it, and store it in our warehouse so the same design goes back up faster next season.
Are timers included?
Yes. Timers are set and tested before we leave, so the display comes on and goes off on its own.
Installation & Timing
When do you install?
Installations begin in September and October and run through the fall. The calendar fills as the season approaches, so booking in late summer or early fall gets you the date you want and time to design the display properly.
When do the lights come down?
January and February. We remove everything, label it and take it back to our warehouse.
Will the clips damage my roof or gutters?
No. We use professional light clips sized to your gutters and shingles. We never use staples or nails, and everything is removed cleanly at the end of the season.
Do I need to be home for the install?
No. Once the design is agreed we can install while you are out. We will let you know when we are coming.
Can you work around our business hours?
Yes. For commercial properties we schedule early mornings, evenings or overnight so we are not blocking entrances or parking during trading hours.
Service & Maintenance
What if a bulb burns out mid season?
Call us and we fix it at no extra cost. Our 100% maintenance guarantee covers your display for the entire season.
What if snow or ice brings a strand down?
Same answer. We come back out and put it right, and it is covered by the guarantee.
How fast do you respond to a service call?
We are based in Mount Laurel and install locally, which is the point of using a local company. A problem in December gets handled in December.
