One-Story Permanent Holiday Lighting Cost in DFW (2026 Guide)
One-story homes are the sweet spot for permanent holiday lighting in Dallas–Fort Worth. Lower rooflines, no ladder gymnastics, faster install days, and — most importantly — better pricing than two-story or estate homes. Here's exactly what a single-story permanent lighting install costs across DFW in 2026.
The honest range: most one-story DFW homes invest between $1,000 and $5,800 for a complete commercial-grade RGBW permanent holiday lighting system. Front-only coverage on a 1,700 sqft ranch starts near $1,000. Front + sides runs $2,800–$4,400. Full-wrap (front, sides, and back) tops out around $5,800. All packages include hidden channel, in-line controller, lifetime app access, and our 8-year product / 3-year labor warranty.
Where you land in that range comes down to three things: total linear footage of roofline (most one-story homes run 110–180 ft), the finish color of your channel (black, white, bronze, or color-matched), and whether you add wraps for garage outlines, columns, or porch peaks. A simple ranch with one straight roofline and two returns is on the low end. A one-story with multiple gables, a wrap-around porch, and three garage bays trends higher.
Compared to two-story homes — which usually run $4,700–$10,300 — one-story installs save $2,000–$4,500 on the same quality system. The lights are identical. The difference is labor: less time on a ladder, no boom lift, fewer crew hours.
We text most one-story homeowners a ballpark quote within an hour of seeing a clear front-of-home photo. Send one to (469) 756-4123 and we'll come back with a real number — not a 'starting at' price designed to get you on the phone.
Financing: 0% for 12 months on approved credit. Most one-story homeowners finance the full install at roughly $209–$485/month interest-free, which is less than what they were paying a seasonal hanger every year.
