Pros who run their business on ServicePro

Sound familiar?

Three things christmas light installers tell us.

I can't answer texts from a roof in the November rush.

For two weeks every message is a booking, and the ones you miss book another installer.

Cash gets tight before a single invoice is paid.

You pay for lights and clips up front, and the invoices wait until you get home after dark.

Homeowners search for lights in November and find someone else.

Yard signs and referrals help, but the installers who show up on Google get the calls.

Christmas Light Installer FAQ

Questions christmas light installers ask us.

What does Sam do for a Christmas light business?

Sam answers new customers, books and moves installs, sends invoices, asks for reviews, and keeps your website and Google profile up to date. You text him like you'd text your office.

How do I charge for Christmas light installation?

Most installers charge by the foot of roofline or set a price per house, with takedown priced on its own. Tell Sam your prices once, for example your price per foot and your minimum per house, and he uses them when he writes your invoices. You still say send before any invoice goes out.

Can Sam move installs when the weather turns?

Yes. When ice or wind keeps you off roofs, text Sam the new day. He moves the installs and texts each family.

When should I set up my Christmas light business online?

Your website and Google profile stay up all year, so they're there when people start looking in the fall. The rank map shows where you come up for Christmas light installation. Set up in late summer to be ready for the November rush.

I only hang lights a few months a year. Is it worth setting up?

Yes. Your website and Google profile keep working all year, so homeowners who start looking in September can still find you and book.

How to startHow to Start a Christmas Light Installation Business in 2026: $2,000 in Lights, Ten Weeks, and the Customer You KeepA Christmas light installation business starts for about $1,940 to $2,715 by Jobber's guide or $5,000 to $30,000 by ZenBusiness's, and the difference is whether you own the lights.
