How Much Does Professional Holiday Lighting Cost in NJ? (2025 Guide)

One of the most common questions we get at Home Light Up is: "How much does it cost to have someone install my holiday lights?" The honest answer is: it depends on your home. But here's exactly what it depends on — and what you can expect.

Why Professional Holiday Lighting Is Custom-Priced

Unlike buying a set of lights off a shelf, professional holiday lighting is designed specifically for your home's roofline, your property size, and the display you're envisioning. A 50-foot roofline with simple gutter lighting is a very different job from a 200-foot roofline with dormers, ground lighting, tree wrapping, and wreaths.

What Affects the Price

Linear footage — the total length of your rooflines, gutters, and any features being lit. This is the primary driver of price.

Property complexity — dormers, multiple rooflines, columns, porch pediments, and garages all add footage and installation time.

Ground lighting — driveway borders, walkways, and garden bed lighting are add-ons priced separately.

Tree and bush lighting — wrapping trees and illuminating bushes is priced by the tree/bush.

Wreaths — professionally hung and lit wreaths are a popular add-on.

What's Always Included

Every Home Light Up install includes the lights themselves (you own them after year one), professional installation, in-season maintenance with free bulb replacements, professional takedown, and secure off-site storage. No surprises, no add-on fees for maintenance calls.
