Long punch lists and projects with no fixed scope. Billed by the hour, so the total depends on how long it runs.
What the lower end buys
Your own lights on a single-story roofline, hung on clips that leave no holes, plugged into a timer and checked after dark. Strands get tested for dead bulbs before they go up, and the run stays straight along the fascia so the line reads clean from the street.
What the higher end buys
Steep two-story rooflines, wrapped trees and porch columns, plus takedown and boxing in January, ask the most. Height slows every step, and shrubs and palms eat far more strand and far more time per foot than a straight run of fascia.

Biggest price driver
The length of the eave line and the ladder height decide it. A single story off a ladder moves along fast. Two stories and a steep pitch means the ladder gets repositioned constantly and footed on sloping ground, and nobody hurries that regardless of how much daylight is left.
How to keep your Christmas light installation cost down
The roofline alone, with the trees skipped the first year, keeps this simple, and strands you already own cost nothing extra. Test each one indoors and untangle them ahead of time, then book the January takedown while you are booking the install.
