Hidden Costs to Watch For
Not every permanent lighting company is upfront about these.
Yearly Maintenance Fees
Some companies charge $200–$500/year for maintenance visits. TruLight: $0.
LED Replacements
Cheap LEDs fail in 3–5 years. Replacement costs add up fast.
Seasonal Crew Costs
Hiring a crew every holiday season runs $300–$800/year.
Power Injection Costs
Low-voltage systems need extra power injection points, adding install complexity and cost.
Warranty Fine Print
Many warranties only cover defects, not labor. Read the fine print.
Common Pricing Questions
What does a typical home cost?
Typical homes run $3,000-$4,000 for front accent coverage, $4,500-$6,500 for front and side rooflines, and $7,000-$10,000+ for full perimeter coverage. Every home is different, so use our instant quote tool for a more accurate estimate.
Why does permanent lighting cost more than seasonal?
You're investing in a one-time professional installation with commercial-grade LEDs rated for 100,000 hours. A typical project can reach the break-even point around year 6 and save money after that.
Is financing available?
Yes! We've partnered with Enhancify to offer 30+ financing options with a single application. 0% interest options are available for qualified buyers.
What's included in my price?
Everything: materials, professional installation, the control box, app setup, and a limited lifetime warranty. No hidden fees or ongoing costs.
Can I do just the front now and add more later?
Absolutely. Many customers start with the front roofline and expand later. The system is designed to be expandable.
