Does the price include takedown?

With Rally, yes — our seasonal packages include install, in-season maintenance, takedown, and storage, so you never touch a ladder.

If you decorate every year, permanent lighting often pays for itself in 4–6 seasons and works year-round. Many customers start with a quote for both.

Ranges are typical Ohio Valley estimates for illustration only — not a quote. Rally's seasonal packages include design, install, in-season maintenance, takedown & storage.

What's usually included

A professional install is more than hanging lights. A good package covers the whole season:

Custom design for your home and roofline
Premium commercial-grade bulbs (often provided/rented)
Professional, insured installation — no ladders for you
In-season maintenance if a bulb or section goes out
Takedown and storage after the holidays

What drives the price

Linear footage of roofline + any trees, columns, and walkways
Home height and roof pitch (two-story and steep roofs cost more)
Whether you own the bulbs or they're provided
Design complexity — simple warm-white vs. multicolor + wraps

Book early — it's the cheapest way to save

Prime install dates (late October–November) fill fast, and rushing a last-minute job costs more. Reserving early locks in your date and price. Want it solved permanently? See our permanent lighting guide — it pays for itself in a few seasons.
