An honest walk through what this actually costs in Central Indiana, what the cheaper options really cost over three seasons, and where the money goes.
Professionally installed, all inclusive Christmas lighting in Central Indiana starts around $799 for a straightforward roofline and runs to $1,800 and up for a full display with trees, entrance pieces and decor. Larger commercial properties are quoted individually because footage, height and access vary more than they do on houses.
Linear footage is only the first variable. A steep roof takes longer and needs more equipment than a ranch of the same length. A roof that breaks into five separate runs takes more cutting and more clips than one continuous eave. Wrapped trees are the slowest work on any property. And decor sized correctly for a two story gable costs more than a wreath that looks like an afterthought from the road.
A season of retail strands, clips and a timer is real money before anybody climbs anything, and those materials are built to a shelf price rather than to an Indiana winter. Add the Saturday, add the ladder, add the strand that fails in the second week of December, and add buying most of it again in year two because it spent eleven months in a hot garage. Over three seasons the comparison narrows a long way.
The lights themselves, because they are ours and not yours. Every service call for the whole season inside a 36 hour* response. Takedown in January. Storage until next year. A labor only quote covers none of that, which is why it is cheaper on day one and not cheaper by the end of the second season.
We do not hang lights you already bought, we do not offer labor only installation and we do not sell our lighting as a product for you to install yourself. That is not an upsell. It is the only arrangement under which a service guarantee means anything, because we cannot warranty materials we did not supply.
