Christmas light installers in Austin, TX

Premier Austin Holiday Lighting is a team of Christmas light installers in Austin who handle the whole season for you. We design the display, supply commercial-grade LED lights we own, install them custom-fit to your roofline, keep them working through the holidays, then take everything down and store it in our warehouse until next year.

How does professional Christmas light installation work in Austin?

You get a free estimate, often online from satellite images of your home. Pick a package, pay in full before the install, and our crew hangs custom-fit rental LED lights on a timer. We maintain them through the season, then take them down and store them for you.

Christmas light installation and removal, start to finish

Most people who call us are tired of the ladder, the tangled strands and the January afternoon spent pulling clips off the gutters. That is the job we take off your plate. Our crew installs the lights, checks on the display through the season, and comes back to remove every strand when the holidays are over.

There is nothing for you to buy, test or store. The lights, clips and timers are ours, and they go back to our warehouse after takedown. Next year you call, we come back, and your house is lit again without a single box coming down from the attic.

We arrive with professional equipment and the right ladders for two-story rooflines, run each line carefully along the gutters and peaks, and check the display before we pack up.

Christmas light rental instead of buying

We run a complete Christmas light rental service. Because we own all of our products, you never pay up front for strands that fade, break or get crushed in storage. You pay for the display on your home this season, and we handle the gear.

Rental also means you are not locked into one look. If you want warmer white this year or more color next year, we change the plan. The lights we use are modern, commercial-grade LED strands built for a full season outdoors.

Renting also keeps your garage and attic clear. No more bins of lights taking up shelf space for eleven months of the year.

Three packages for the average Austin home

Every house is different, so your quote is based on your roofline. To give you a sense of cost, these are the ranges for the average house. Wreaths and column wraps can be added to any package.

Not sure which one fits? Basic gives a crisp outline that works on almost any single-story home. Advanced adds the ridge cap and peaks, which suits houses with steeper roofs and more architecture to show off. Gingerbread is the full treatment for homeowners who want the windows, doors and entry dressed up too.

  • Basic, $500 to $1,200: an outline of the drip edge and soffit.
  • Advanced, $900 to $2,500: drip edge, soffit, ridge cap and peaks.
  • Gingerbread, $1,500 to $3,500: everything in Advanced plus valleys, windows and doors, wreaths and column wraps.

Satellite estimates and custom design plans

In most cases we can price your home online. We measure the roofline from satellite imaging and send you a quote without anyone stopping by. If we cannot get a clear image, because of tall trees or a new build, we come out and measure in person.

Want help deciding what to light? Book an in-person consultation and we will walk the property with you and put together a custom design plan. Designs are approved in writing before we order anything, so you know exactly what is going up.

Satellite estimates save you time. There is no appointment to schedule and no waiting around for someone to measure, and you can compare packages from your couch before you decide.

Custom-fit lights on solar timers

Our lights are cut and fit to your building, not stretched from a one-size box. That is what gives a professional display its clean, straight lines along the gutters and up the peaks.

Every install includes solar timers. They switch the lights on when it gets dark and keep them on as long as you like, so you never have to remember to plug anything in.

Warm white is the classic choice on stone and brick homes, while multicolor brings a playful, traditional feel. If you are torn, we can talk through how each will look on your style of house.

Booking, payment and policies

Payment is due in full before installation, by cash or credit or debit card. We do not take checks. Deposits hold your date and pay for materials, so they are non-refundable, and cancellations within 14 days of the install, or after supplies are purchased, forfeit the installation cost. Our full refund and rescheduling policy spells out the rest, including weather delays.

Designs are approved in writing, and changes after approval may cost extra and push back the schedule. If weather, shipping or illness delays an install, we tell you the revised timeline right away. Questions about any of it? Call (512) 569-7849 and we will walk you through it.

Neighbors who stopped climbing ladders

  • “We absolutely love this company. We have used them for two years in a row. They are kind, quick, and fast to respond to any type of communication. This year, there were a couple of bulbs that were out on the strand and I emailed them THAT night and they were out the next day to replace them. Phenomenal company.”

Christmas lighting: common questions

How much do Christmas light installers cost in Austin?

For the average house, our Basic package runs $500 to $1,200, Advanced $900 to $2,500 and Gingerbread $1,500 to $3,500. Your exact price depends on the size and shape of your roofline. Call (512) 569-7849 or request a quote and we will price your home, usually from satellite images.

Do I have to buy the lights?

No. This is a full rental. We own every light, clip and timer, install them on your home, and take them back after the season. You never have to buy, test or store a strand. It also means you can change the look from one season to the next without being stuck with last year's lights.

Is takedown included?

Yes. Post-season removal is part of the service. Our crew takes the display down and stores everything in our warehouse for next year.

What if a section of lights goes out?

We maintain the display through the season. Call us and we will come back to fix it, so your house stays lit until takedown.

How do I pay?

Payment is due in full before installation. We accept cash and credit or debit cards. We do not accept checks.

Do you install Christmas lights outside Austin?

Yes. We install across the Austin area, including Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Leander, Hutto, Buda, Lakeway, Bee Cave and West Lake Hills, plus Austin neighborhoods like Zilker, Bouldin Creek and Bryker Woods.
