How much does it cost to have Christmas lights professionally installed?

Rally's full-season packages start at $750, and most Ohio Valley homes land between $750 and $2,000 depending on roofline length and accents. One price covers design, commercial-grade lights, installation, in-season maintenance, takedown, and storage. Every quote is free and in writing.

Does the price include takedown?

Yes — takedown and storage are part of every Rally package, along with in-season maintenance. You never touch a ladder, and you never store a light.

No — Rally retains ownership of all lights and displays, and that's a feature. There's nothing to buy, store, or replace: we provide commercial-grade lights, fix anything that fails during the season, and keep everything ready for next year.

Should I get permanent lighting instead?

If you decorate every year, permanent lighting often pays for itself in 3–5 seasons and works year-round. Many customers start with a quote for both.

Ranges are typical estimates for illustration — your exact price depends on your roofline and design, and every Rally quote is free and in writing. Rally retains ownership of all lights and displays; your package covers the complete season.

One price, whole season — and you never buy a box of lights

A Rally package isn't a hang-only fee. One price covers everything from the first sketch to the January takedown:

Custom design for your home and roofline
Premium commercial-grade lights — provided by Rally
Professional, insured installation — no ladders for you
In-season maintenance if a bulb or section goes out
Takedown after the holidays, plus storage until next year

Why Rally owns the lights (and why that's good for you)

Rally retains ownership of all Christmas lights and displays. That's the professional model, and it works in your favor: you never buy boxes of retail lights that fail in year two, never store a tangled tote in the garage, and never pay to replace a dead strand — we stock, maintain, and refresh everything as part of your package.

It also means your display can evolve. Want to add the big tree next year, or switch the color scheme? It's a design conversation, not a shopping trip.

What drives the price

Roofline length — the biggest factor; longer rooflines take more light and labor
Home height and roof pitch (two-story and steep roofs take more care)
Accents — trees, bushes, columns, wreaths, and walkways add to the design
Design complexity — simple warm-white perimeter vs. full multicolor display

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.
