How much do Christmas lights and installation cost in Richmond?

First year installation

For your first year, your Christmas lights display will include the purchase of the lights you chose for your home, installation and takedown costs. Our Shack Shine Richmond Christmas light pricing can vary on your home size and the complexity of the design you select. Our Richmond team members will provide a no-obligations, free onsite estimate, but prices typically start at $1,100.

Second year and beyond

For year two and beyond, you will only need to pay for your installation and takedown costs, which are approximately 45% – 55% of the amounts listed above. Don’t worry – if you want to add new products, you absolutely can.

Four year Christmas Lights Commitment

Frequently Asked Questions – Christmas Lights in Richmond

What light colors and styles are available in Richmond? 

We offer an extensive selection of lighting options to match your holiday vision perfectly. Our warm white lights create that cozy, elegant glow, while pure white delivers a crisp, modern look that really pops against Richmond’s historic architecture. For a festive touch, try our candy cane patterns with alternating red and pure white, or go bold with multi-color displays featuring red, green, blue, and white. We can even create custom color combinations if you have something specific in mind for your home’s holiday transformation.

Do you install lights on landscaping too in Richmond? 

Absolutely! We don’t just stop at your roofline – our team designs complete holiday displays that include your landscaping elements too. We’ll light up your trees, highlight your bushes, and illuminate walkways to create a cohesive, stunning display throughout your entire property. Whether you want subtle accent lighting on your garden features or bold statements on your larger trees, we’ll work with you to bring your whole yard into the holiday magic.

When is the best time to schedule a Christmas light installation? 

We recommend booking your Richmond Christmas light installation in early fall to secure your preferred dates and ensure everything’s ready before the holiday rush. Richmond’s unpredictable weather patterns mean that waiting until late November or December can be risky – you might face delays due to ice storms or sudden temperature drops that make installation challenging. Early scheduling also gives you more time to enjoy your beautiful display throughout the entire holiday season.

What types of homes work best for professional Christmas light installation in Richmond? 

Our Richmond team has experience with everything from Fan District Victorian homes to modern suburban properties in Short Pump and beyond. Whether you have a traditional brick colonial, a contemporary townhome, or anything in between, we customize our approach to highlight your home’s unique architectural features. We’re skilled at working with different roofline styles, gutter systems, and landscaping setups that are common throughout the Richmond metro area.

How do you handle Richmond’s winter weather during installation and takedown? 

Our professional crew is equipped to work safely in Richmond’s variable winter conditions, from mild December days to those occasional ice events that can hit the area. We monitor weather forecasts closely and schedule installations during optimal conditions to ensure both safety and quality results. If severe weather does impact our schedule, we’ll communicate with you immediately and reschedule for the next safe opportunity, your satisfaction and our team’s safety are always our top priorities.
