What Affects the Price of Permanent Christmas Lights?
Permanent lighting quotes can vary quite a bit between homes, even ones of similar size. Here is what actually drives that price.
Roofline length and complexity
The total linear footage of channel needed is the biggest cost driver. A simple rectangular roofline costs less to cover than one with multiple gables, dormers, or wrap-around sections that each need separate runs and connections.
Single-colour vs full-colour RGB systems
A warm-white-only system is generally less expensive than a full-colour RGBW system, since colour-changing systems use more advanced LED strip and a more capable controller.
Roof type and mounting method
Standard asphalt shingle rooflines with a straightforward fascia are the easiest and least expensive to mount to. Metal roofs, tile, and unusual architectural details can require different clips or mounting approaches, which affects labour time.
Control system and smart features
Basic on/off or simple colour control costs less than a system with full app-based scheduling, scene presets, and zone control across multiple sections of a large home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my neighbour's quote differ from mine for a similar-sized home?
Roofline complexity, the number of gables or dormers, colour system choice, and roof material can all differ even between similarly sized homes, which changes the price.
Is RGB colour-changing lighting significantly more expensive than warm white only?
It is typically somewhat more, since colour-changing systems use more advanced LED strip and controllers, but many homeowners find the added flexibility worth it.
