Pricing Factors
What affects the price
Roof pitch
Steeper roofs are slower and more careful work than low, gentle slopes.
Trees and shrubs
Wrapping trees and shrubs adds to the total on top of the roofline.
Light type
Warm white, cool white, and RGB lights with app or remote control are priced differently.
Buying vs renting Christmas lights
Rental companies charge full price every single year. With Home Guardians, the lights are included in your first-year price and you own them. Every season after costs about half, because you're only paying for installation, takedown and storage.
Professional vs DIY
Doing it yourself means buying lights and clips, climbing ladders in the cold, and taking it all down again in January. A professional install gives you straight, even lines, fixes during the season, and storage, with no ladders for you.
