How We Determine Christmas Light Quotes: A Behind-the-Scenes Look 🎄

When it comes to transforming your home into a festive winter wonderland, many customers wonder, “How are holiday light installation quotes determined?” At Wichita Holiday Lights, we take pride in offering a premium, customized experience, and our pricing reflects several factors that ensure your home shines bright and beautifully. Here’s a closer look at what goes into your Christmas light quote:

1. Roof Lights: Based on Linear Feet

The most common aspect of holiday light installation is outlining the roofline. To determine the price for roof lights, we measure the total number of linear feet to be covered. However, there are additional factors that come into play:

  • Roof Accessibility: Easy-to-reach areas are simpler to install lights on, while difficult-to-access sections (like high or multi-story roofs) may affect the overall cost.
  • Roof Pitch: Steep roofs require more time and effort to install lights safely, which can slightly increase the price.
  • Shingle Material and Ridges: Roofs with ridges or unique materials may require extra care during installation, potentially influencing the quote.

Ultimately, the total feet of lights installed will be the main factor, but the complexity of your roof’s features will also be considered in your custom quote.

2. Wreaths: Priced by Size

Holiday wreaths are a perfect addition to any holiday lighting setup. Pricing for wreaths is generally a flat rate, depending on the size of the wreath you choose. Whether you prefer a smaller, simple wreath or a grand, large one, we’ll work with you to select the perfect fit for your home’s holiday decor.

3. Mini Lights: Wrapping Trees, Columns, and More

Wrapping trees, columns, or other outdoor features with mini lights adds extra charm and sparkle to your holiday display. The price for mini lights is calculated based on the number of strands needed to achieve the look you want. Larger trees or structures may require more lights, which can slightly increase the cost. Our team ensures that the placement of each strand creates a magical, glowing effect that enhances your entire property.

First-Year Pricing: Customization and Installation

In the first year of service, your quote will include the cost of:

  • All lights and materials: We use commercial-grade, high-quality LED lights that are built to last.
  • Installation: Our team custom fits the lights to your home, ensuring a precise and beautiful setup.
  • Custom Setup: Each home is unique, so we design a lighting system tailored specifically to your property’s size and shape.

The first-year price is generally higher due to the purchase of the lights and the initial setup. However, this investment means your lights are custom-made to fit your home and can be used for many years to come.

Second-Year Pricing: Lower Costs for Continued Service

After the first year, the process becomes more streamlined and cost-effective. Since you’ve already purchased the lights, your quote for the second year (and beyond) is primarily based on:

  • Time for installation: We install the lights you already own.
  • Maintenance: We ensure your lights stay shining bright all season long.
  • Takedown and Storage: After the holidays, we carefully take down the lights and store them for you until next season.

Since the lights and materials have already been paid for, the second-year price is significantly lower—offering you great value while still enjoying a stunning holiday display.

A Simple Process for a Stress-Free Holiday Season

At Wichita Holiday Lights, we aim to make the entire process easy and stress-free. From your initial quote to the final takedown of lights, we handle all the details, so you can sit back and enjoy the holiday magic. Whether you’re lighting up your roofline, adding wreaths, or wrapping trees, we’ll ensure your home stands out with a dazzling holiday display that brings joy to your family and neighbors.
