How to set your own Christmas light prices
- Know your cost per foot: bulbs, wire, clips, and a share of reusable inventory.
- Time your crews: feet installed per hour on one-story vs. two-story homes.
- Set a minimum job charge so small homes stay profitable.
- Charge more for height, steep pitch and complex rooflines.
- Price extras (trees, wreaths, garland, timers) separately.
- Offer an early-booking price for September and October to fill your calendar.
