Christmas Light Installation Cost in Kansas City (2026)
The honest answer up front: most Kansas City homes pay $400–$1,500 for a full season of professional Christmas lighting — custom-cut C9 LEDs, installation, mid-season service, and January takedown all included. Here’s exactly what moves the number up or down, so you can budget before you ever call.

What popular add-ons cost
- Tree trunk & branch wrapping — depends on tree size and how high the wrap goes; small ornamental trees cost far less than wrapping a mature oak’s canopy.
- Wreaths & garland — priced per piece and per foot; a lit entry package (door wreath + garland-wrapped rail) is the most popular combo.
- Mailbox & lamp post accents — the least expensive add-on and the first thing guests see from the street.
- Pathway & driveway stakes — priced by run length.
- Window outlines — per window, smaller precision bulbs.
Add-ons are quoted with the roofline in one visit — bundling is cheaper than adding them mid-season.
What you're actually paying for
Retail box lights cost $80 at the store — so why does professional install run $400+? Because the product is different and the labor is real: commercial-grade C9 LED strands cut to the exact foot of your roofline, clips that attach without a single nail or staple, a crew insured for roof work, a service visit when a section blinks out December 12th, and a January morning you don’t spend on a frozen ladder. We’re a gutter company — safe roofline attachment is literally our core trade.
