What Holiday Lighting Actually Costs Here
Most Christmas light installation in Longmont lands between $800 and $7,000 for a fully installed, maintained, removed and stored display. That is a wide band because a modest single-story ranch and a three-elevation estate with wrapped mature shade trees are genuinely different jobs. The table below is where real local projects tend to fall.
| Property type | Typical range | What's usually included |
|---|---|---|
| Single-story home, roofline only | $800 – $1,200 | Front elevation, warm white or classic multicolor, timer included |
| Two-story home, roofline + accents | $1,200 – $2,500 | Peaks, gables, garage, walkway and a wrapped tree or two |
| Large or custom home | $2,500 – $4,500 | Multiple elevations, columns, railings, several wrapped trees |
| Estate / acreage property | $4,500 – $7,000+ | Long driveways, mature pines, outbuildings, multiple zones |
| Commercial property | Quoted per site | Linear footage, lift access, zones and tenant scheduling |
Ranges reflect our typical Front Range residential projects, the same pricing we use in Longmont. Your written quote is based on an actual review of your property, not a square-footage formula.
The Seven Things That Move Your Price
- Linear footage of lit roofline — the single biggest driver.
- Height and roof pitch — steep or third-story work needs more time, more fall protection and sometimes a lift.
- Design complexity — separate runs for peaks, gables, dormers, columns and railings each add labor and material.
- Tree wrapping — priced by height and trunk diameter; a mature pine can cost more than a short roofline.
- Ground and landscape lighting — walkways, shrubs, wreaths and garland.
- Power and control — outlet locations, timers and separately switched zones.
- Access — tight side yards, steep lots and long driveways all add time.
What's Included in Every Quote
Design consultation, commercial-grade LED product, professional installation with weatherproof connections, timers, mid-season maintenance, January takedown and climate-controlled storage. Because product stays ours and stays stored properly, returning customers typically pay less in year two for the identical display.
We install our own product only — we don't install customer-supplied or store-bought lights. That's what makes the warranty, the safety rating and the mid-season repair promise possible. If you're weighing product types, see LED vs. incandescent Christmas lights.
How to Compare Two Quotes Fairly
Ask each installer four questions: Is takedown included? Is storage included? Is mid-season repair included? Are you carrying general liability and workers' compensation? A cheaper number that excludes takedown and repairs is usually the more expensive season. Seasonal operators who disappear in January are common here — a written scope protects you from that.
One-Time Cost Alternative
If you light up every year without fail, compare seasonal pricing against permanent holiday and trim lighting. It's a larger upfront investment with no annual install and takedown labor, and it doubles as year-round accent lighting. Commercial buyers should start with our commercial installation page.
Pricing by Service Area
Pricing is consistent across Longmont, but housing types change the typical range. Tall, narrow homes in Prospect often need extra vertical runs and careful ladder work, older homes near Main Street and mature lots in central Longmont lean toward tree wrapping, and acreage around Hygiene can include driveways, gates and outbuildings. Newer homes in east and southeast Longmont are usually roofline-focused designs.
