Factors That Affect the Cost of Permanent Holiday Lighting

1. Architectural Design & Roofline Complexity

The shape and design of your home’s roofline significantly impact the cost. A simple, straight roofline is easier to install lights on, whereas homes with peaks, dormers, and multiple roof angles require more time and labor.

2. Accessibility & Installation Difficulty

Some installations require extra effort due to:

• High rooflines that may need ladders or man lifts

• Tight spaces or hard-to-reach areas

• Obstacles like trees, fences, or landscaping that limit access

The more challenging the installation, the higher the cost due to added labor and equipment requirements.

3. Environmental & Safety Factors

Alberta’s weather conditions can impact installation costs, especially in winter months when ice and snow create additional safety concerns. Steep roof pitches and difficult terrain may require special safety precautions, adding to the installation time and price.

4. Size of the Installation

You can choose to install lights on just the front of your home for a cost-effective solution, or opt for a full surround installation that covers all sides for a seamless look. The total length of the lighting system directly affects the overall price.

5. Celebright vs. Gemstone vs. Trimlight
