Two-Story Permanent Lighting Pricing in DFW: $4,700–$10,300 Installed
Two-story permanent lighting in Dallas–Fort Worth costs more than one-story for one reason: labor. Same commercial-grade RGBW LEDs, same hidden aluminum channel, same Surplife app, same 8-year warranty — just more crew hours and a taller ladder. Here's the real range by home size.
2,800 sqft two-story (a typical starter two-story in McKinney, Frisco, or Mansfield): $1,675 front only, $4,675 front + sides, $6,400 full wrap. Most homes in this band pick front + sides — the side returns are visible from neighboring driveways and the driveway itself.
3,200 sqft two-story (the median DFW two-story): $1,900 front only, $5,325 front + sides, $7,300 full wrap. Plano, Frisco's Phillips Creek Ranch, and McKinney's Stonebridge Ranch land here.
3,800 sqft two-story (estate-tier in Stonebriar, Tucker Hill, or Lakes of La Cima): $2,275 front only, $6,325 front + sides, $8,675 full wrap. Multi-gable rooflines and dormers may push slightly higher.
4,200 sqft two-story (large estate, often in Newman Village, Whitley Place, or Light Farms): $1,000 front only, $7,000 front + sides, $9,575 full wrap. Above this size, custom estates trend into the $10,000–$14,500 range as boom-lift labor and architectural complexity scale up.
Why two-story installs cost more per sqft than one-story. Every additional foot of height adds setup time, second-crew safety requirements, and insurance loading. We can quote a two-story install with the slider on our pricing page — same calculator we use on-site.
0% financing for 12 months puts most two-story installs in the $390–$860/month range interest-free. After year one, you own the system outright.
