How much does it cost to run a strand of Christmas lights?

There is no "set" answer to how much Christmas light installation cost. Each installation is customized to the property so the customer can invest as much or as little as they want. Different companies do everything from simple rooflines to extravagant trees and bushes. Prices can vary depending on how many light strands you require, the height and difficulty of installing the lights, and of course the time it takes to install the lights. Professionals' prices start at $499 and include complete installation, light and material (extension cords, timers, power strips, etc.), as well as removal.
