What Determines Your Price
1. Linear Footage
The only thing that changes your DFW LED price. Measure your roofline eaves (or ask us to measure for free). Most DFW homes are 150-200ft for front-facing only, 300-400ft for all sides.
2. Roofline Complexity
Peaks, dormers and multi-story sections add footage and install time, but our $25/ft rate stays the same — no surcharge for corners or angles.
3. What the Quote Includes
When you compare quotes, ask each company for an itemized price covering controller, track, labor and warranty so you compare the same scope. Ours: all included in $25/ft.
4. Electrical Needs
If you need a new outdoor outlet or dedicated circuit, an electrician is a separate cost. Most homes already have usable outlets near the installation point.
5. Time of Year
Our $25/ft is the same year-round. Booking outside the fall rush gets you faster scheduling.
The Break-Even Math: Permanent vs Temporary
Take the one-time cost of permanent lights and divide it by what you pay each season for temporary lights today. That's your break-even in years.
Permanent lights are usable 365 days a year, with no ladder work each season.
