How pricing works at Pronto

Quick answer

With Pronto you pay for two separate things. The first is the lights, which you rent or buy yourself. The second is our work: design, installation and any removal or service you choose. Our price depends mostly on roofline length, the height of the home and how many trees and shrubs you add.

Many installers quote one number that mixes product and labor. Because we do not sell lights, you see each part on its own. You know what the lights cost because you rent or buy them, and you know what the work costs because that is all we quote.

We measure before we price. A quote based on a guess is how people end up with a second bill.

What changes the price

Four things move the number most.

What we look atWhy it matters
Roofline lengthMore feet of roofline means more lights, more clips and more time on the ladder.
Height and pitchTwo-story homes and steep roofs take longer to light safely than single-story homes.
Trees and shrubsA wrapped trunk is quick. A tall canopy takes many more strands and a longer visit.
Power and timersOutlet locations decide how cords are run and how many timers the layout needs.

Three sizes of job

A single-story roofline, a two-story roofline and a full display with wrapped trees. Tap a photo to see it larger.

What the lights cost you

This part is in your hands. Each route has a different cost pattern.

Rent

You pay each season and return the lights after takedown. There is nothing to store and nothing to replace.

Lowest cost in the first year.

Buy

You pay once and reuse the lights every year. Store them dry and most LED sets last for several seasons.

Usually cheapest over time if you keep the same layout.

Use your own

No new cost if your strands are outdoor-rated and still working. We check them before install day.

Cheapest, as long as the lights pass the check.

What a Pronto quote tells you

Everything you need to compare it with another offer.

  • What gets lit, and in what color
  • The price for installation
  • The lengths, bulb type and clips to rent or buy
  • Your install date
  • How takedown is handled
  • How repair visits are handled

Ask every installer the same two questions: who owns the lights, and what happens if a section goes out in December.

Questions about cost

Have a different question? Call (213) 800-4951 or see all questions.

How much does it cost to have Christmas lights installed?

It depends on your roofline length, the height of the house and what else you light. We price each home after measuring it, and the quote is free.

Why do you not sell the lights?

We are an installation company. Keeping the product separate means you can rent, buy or reuse lights from anywhere, and you are not tied to one supplier or to a lease.

Is it cheaper to rent lights or buy them?

Renting costs less in the first year and there is nothing to store. Buying costs more at the start and usually works out cheaper if you keep the same layout for several seasons.

Is takedown included in the price?

Your quote shows it. Every quote lists takedown, either inside the install price or as its own line, so you know the full cost before you book.

Are repair visits included?

Your quote shows that too. It says how in-season repair visits are handled and what, if anything, they cost.

Do you charge for a quote?

No. Quotes are free and there is no obligation.
