Holiday Light Installation Cost by City

Professional holiday light installation across the Chicagoland area typically costs $1,500–$5,000 for a full home display (most homes around $2,800), including the lights, installation, in-season service and takedown. The same estimator serves 17 more territories in 10 states through the local operator in each.

How a holiday lighting price is built

Unlike painting, holiday lighting is not estimated house by house. It is a rate: dollars per foot of roofline you light, plus a price for each element you add. In the Chicago western suburbs, Infinity Holiday Lights charges $9 per traced foot of roofline, takedown and storage included, with a $900 job minimum; displays over $1,200 get the complete-display rate, 5% off. Two similar-looking homes can differ by dozens of feet once the gables, returns and garage eave are traced, so the estimator measures rather than guesses. That is why the city pages for Naperville, St. Charles, Wheaton and Geneva carry the same range: one installer, one labor market, one rate. Other territories set their own cards, which the estimator applies from your ZIP.

Typical price by element (2026)

Roofline & EavesC9 LED bulbs clipped along the eaves, peaks, and gables — the classic outline that defines a holiday display.$1,200–$3,000Trees, Trunks & ShrubsMini-LED strands wrapped up trunks and through canopies, or netted over shrubs — depth and sparkle beyond the roofline.$300–$1,500Pathways & WalkwaysStaked lights lining walkways and the driveway edge to guide guests to the door.$250–$900Wreaths & GarlandLit wreaths on doors and windows, and garland wrapped over railings, columns, and the front entry.$150–$800

Roofline footage is the biggest driver, then access (a third story, steep pitches, high peaks), then elements: each tree wrap, shrub net, pathway run and wreath is priced on its own, so a full landscape package can cost as much as the roofline.

Frequently asked questions

How much does professional holiday light installation cost?

A full home display typically costs $1,500–$5,000 for the season, with most homes around $2,800; roofline-only displays run about $1,200–$3,000. The price includes the lights, installation, in-season service and January takedown. It is built from the feet of roofline you light plus each element you add (trees, shrubs, pathways, wreaths), not from the town you live in.

How is roofline lighting priced?

Per linear foot of roofline actually lit, measured from your traced photo. In the Chicago western suburbs, Infinity Holiday Lights charges $9 per foot with takedown and storage included, a $900 job minimum, and 5% off displays over $1,200. Two similar-looking homes can differ by dozens of feet of roofline once the gables, returns and garage eave are traced, which is why the estimator measures rather than guesses.

Why is the price the same across the western suburbs?

Because it is a rate, not a local estimate: feet of roofline and elements added. Chicagoland's western suburbs are one labor market served by one installer, so Naperville, St. Charles, Wheaton and Geneva pay the same per-foot rate. The city pages differ in service details and ZIP coverage, not price.

What makes a display cost more than the typical range?

Roofline footage is the biggest driver, then access: a third story, steep pitches and high peaks take longer and need more equipment. After that it is elements. Each tree wrap, shrub net, pathway run and wreath is priced on its own, so a full landscape package can match or exceed the roofline itself.

Do I own the lights?

No. It is a seasonal service: commercial-grade C9 LED roofline lights and clips are supplied and installed, serviced if a section fails, taken down in January and stored. Nothing to buy, box up or climb for. A timer is an add-on.

How do I get an exact price?

Upload one daytime photo of the front of your house, trace the rooflines you want lit, and the estimator measures the footage and prices it in about two minutes, with a rendered preview of your own home lit in warm white or multicolor. The estimator tells you from your ZIP which local installer serves your address.
