What Does It Cost To Install Professional Christmas Lights?
Learn how Christmas light estimates are created to gauge costs for your home.
Quick Answer:
Professional Christmas light installation in North County San Diego usually costs:
- Small homes: $700-$900
- Average-sized homes: $1,000-$1,500
- Large homes: $1,500-$2,000+
Lower prices may be available through local handymen, but they may not offer consistent service. Many homeowners find it hard to get ahold of the same installer the following year, which means starting from scratch, and paying for new matrials again. This makes the handyman route more expensive in the long run.
