How much does permanent lighting cost in Colorado?
Real price ranges from a Colorado installer, what changes the price, and how to compare quotes.
The short answer: most homes we install land between $2,800 and $5,600. Your exact price comes down to how many feet of roofline you light and how hard that roofline is to reach. Here is how it breaks down.
Price ranges by home size
| Home | Roofline | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| Small home | 50 to 100 feet. Single story, front roofline only | $2,000 to $2,800 |
| Medium home | 100 to 200 feet. Two story or a wider single story | $2,800 to $5,600 |
| Large home | 200 to 300 feet. Larger two story, or front plus sides | $5,600 to $8,400 |
| Full wrap or custom | 300+ feet. Full perimeter or multiple rooflines | Starting at $8,400 |

What changes your price
- Linear feet. This is the biggest factor. Lighting just the front costs less than wrapping the whole house.
- Roofline complexity. Lots of peaks, gables and separate roof levels take more time than one straight line.
- Story height and access. A tall two story or a steep, hard-to-reach section takes more labor and equipment.
What should be included
When you compare quotes, make sure the price covers everything. Every Shine install includes:
- Professional-grade LED lights in a low-profile aluminum track, color matched to your trim
- A weatherproof control box and app control from your phone
- Professional installation, usually done in a day
- A lifetime parts warranty and 5 years of labor coverage
How to compare quotes the right way
Two quotes can look close on price and be very different deals. Ask every company these questions:
- How long is the labor warranty? Many brands cover labor for only 1 year. After that, you pay for service calls. See warranties by brand.
- Who do I call if something fails? A local crew or a national 800 number?
- Where do the wires go? Wiring through the soffit is cleaner and safer than wires lying in your gutters.
- What is the price per foot? It makes quotes easy to compare side by side.
Is it worth it?
If you pay someone to hang and take down holiday lights every year, that cost comes back every season. Permanent lights are a one-time cost that you use every holiday, plus game days, birthdays and everyday warm white lighting. Each light uses less than 1 watt, so running them barely moves your power bill.
