How much does Christmas light installation cost in Lexington?
For classic Christmas lights across the front of a one-story home, we typically charge $275–$650. Where you land depends on how much roofline you want lit, how steep the roof is, and whether you add windows, doors, or bushes.
For comparison, Angi's 2026 data shows a national average of $444 across 2,242 verified projects, with most homeowners paying $220 to $684. Most installers price by the linear foot ($2 to $5 per Angi), by the hour, or with a flat minimum.
What changes the price of hanging Christmas lights?
- Stories. Two-story rooflines mean longer ladders and more time. Angi's national ranges run $200–$450 for a one-story and $350–$800 for a two-story.
- Footage. More linear feet of roofline, more lights, more labor.
- Extras. Windows, doors, bushes, timers, and smart controls all add to the total.
- Access. Steep roofs and tall peaks push costs up because of the extra safety work.
- Takedown. Many quotes leave removal out. Ask. Ours includes takedown.
- Old lights. Tangled or dead strands cost time. Working LED strands you already own can often be reused.

Should you hang the lights yourself?
If the lights are low and easy to reach, DIY can work. Angi notes that a full display can take several hours, sometimes a whole weekend, and that falls and property damage are the real risks on multi-story homes or steep roofs. Pick a dry day and never work the ladder alone.
Any outlet or wiring problem should go to a licensed electrician. We hang lights and leave the electrical work to licensed pros.
When should you book Christmas lights in Lexington?
Now. Angi says demand peaks in late fall and early winter, and booking early is the most reliable way to get a slot. Lexington weather swings from mild to cold fast, so a dry day before Thanksgiving is ideal. Ask for takedown to be scheduled at the same time.
No Shortcuts. No Half Measures. Just solid work done right.
