How to price holiday lighting
Holiday lighting is usually sold as a package: design, install, mid-season service, takedown, and storage. Residential jobs commonly run $350–$1,000 for a small home up to $2,000–$3,500+ for a large two-story — quote the full season, not just the install day.
Decide whether you lease the lights (you own and reuse them — higher recurring margin) or the customer buys them year one. Roofline footage, peaks, trees, and wreaths all add. It's a high-margin way to keep crews working through December.
Frequently asked questions
How much should I charge to hang Christmas lights?⌄

Should I include the lights in the price?⌄
Leasing (you own and reuse commercial-grade lights) usually beats having customers buy their own — you control quality, simplify install, and build a recurring book that renews each season.
