Pricing
How much does Christmas light installation cost in Orange County?
Forever Young Lighting publishes two priced packages. The Basic Roofline package starts around $400–$800 and includes C9 LED lights along the roofline, timers, a roof-safe clip system with no roof damage, professional installation, all-season maintenance, and post-holiday removal. The Premium Full Front package starts around $1,000–$2,500 and adds roofline, entry, and garage coverage, wrapped trees and bushes, pathway and railing lights, and custom color options, with wreaths available as an add-on. Every package includes design, installation, maintenance, and removal, so homeowners do nothing but enjoy the display. Exact pricing depends on home size, the areas being lit, and design complexity. Forever Young Lighting serves every city in Orange County, from Laguna Hills and Laguna Beach to Irvine, Anaheim and Yorba Linda, and provides a free quote after a quick call or photo review.
These package ranges are a guide, not a quote for your home. Your total may fall outside them depending on roofline footage and separately priced extras.

Name and phone is enough to start. City and stories make the number tighter. Most quotes come back the same day.
What is the cost per foot?
Rooflines are priced by the foot. With our lights it is $9.50 per foot, and that covers the C9 LED lights, timers, clips, the install, every repair during the season, and the January takedown.
Customer-owned roofline lights: $6.50 per linear foot, without track. Installation and January takedown are included; season-long maintenance is not.
Trees, palms, bushes, pillars, wreaths and other extras are not per foot. Each one is priced on its own from your photos. Three-story and very tall houses get a look from Angel before any number.
You do not need to measure anything. Text two photos of the front of the house and we send back one number. The long version is in this guide.
What moves the price?
Five things, in roughly the order they matter.
- How much roofline you want lit. The roofline is priced by the foot, so footage is the biggest part of the number.
- How tall the house is. Three-story and very tall homes get a look from Angel before any number.
- How much beyond the roofline. Entry, garage, wrapped trees and bushes, pathway lights and railings are what separate the two packages. Every tree you add is real time: wrapping a mature tree properly is slow work.
- Design complexity. A single warm-white run is straightforward. Alternating colors, a custom mix, or a pattern that has to line up across two rooflines takes planning and more cutting.
- Anything unusual about the property. A tile roof, a steep pitch, a stretch with no safe ladder footing, or power that is a long way from where the lights go.
What does not move it: the city you live in, and whether your neighbour got a different number. We quote the house.

What is included in the price?

Quoted separately
- Wreaths
- Backyard, patio or pool-area lighting
- Commercial properties: how those are quoted
- Permanent RGB roofline lighting: a different product entirely
You will see any add-on as its own line in the quote before you agree to anything.
Do I pay for the lights themselves?
No, and you do not own them either. The strands stay our property. We maintain them through the season, take them down, and store them, which is why there is no separate materials line on your quote and nothing in your garage in February.
It also means the lights you get are ours to keep in good shape. A strand that is looking tired gets replaced on our side, not yours.

Other questions about price
How does pricing work?
Rooflines are priced by the foot: $9.50/ft with our C9 lights; $6.50/ft with yours, without track. Trees, palms and other extras are priced per piece from your photos. Most single-family homes start around $400–$800 for roofline only, or $1,000–$2,500 for a full front display. We give you a free quote after a quick call or a photo review.
There is no charge for the quote and no deposit to look at your house.
Can you do commercial properties?
Yes. Most of our work is houses, but we also light small office buildings, retail storefronts, and HOA common areas. Send photos of the property and tell us what you want lit, and we put together a commercial quote.
Commercial properties receive a custom quote based on what needs lighting and the access required.
