The Short Answer

What Does a Trimlight Installation Usually Cost?

If you're just looking for a ballpark before diving in, here it is — but the full picture is more interesting than the headline number.

At a Glance — Lehigh Valley Pricing

Most residential Trimlight installations in the Lehigh Valley typically range from $3,000 to $8,000+, depending on your home's size, roofline complexity, and the number of channels installed. Smaller single-story homes usually fall toward the lower end of that range. Larger two-story homes or properties with more complex rooflines tend to run higher. Commercial and municipal projects are quoted separately based on scope.

This is a one-time investment — no annual re-installation fee, no takedown cost, and no buying replacement lights every few years.

The only way to get an accurate number for your specific home is a free in-person estimate. Pricing varies enough between properties that we don't believe in quoting over the phone — we come to you, assess your roofline, and give you an exact price on the spot.

Pricing by Home Size

How Much Does Trimlight Cost for Your Home?

Most Lehigh Valley homes fall into one of three tiers based on roofline linear footage and complexity. These are estimates — every home is measured individually before we give you a final price, and the only accurate number is the one we put on paper after we see your specific roofline.

Smaller Home
~1,000–1,500 sq ft · Single story · Clean roofline · ~80–130 linear ft
$2,800 – $4,500
Typical ranch, smaller cape cod, or cottage. Straightforward rooflines that install quickly — often completed in a half day by our crew.
Most Common in LV
Average Home
~1,500–2,500 sq ft · One to two stories · ~130–210 linear ft
$4,000 – $6,500
The most common installation in Allentown, Bethlehem, and Nazareth. Colonial, two-story traditional, or split-level. Most are completed in a single day.
Larger Home
2,500+ sq ft · Two stories · Dormers or complex roofline · 210+ linear ft
$5,500 – $9,000+
Larger colonials, homes with multiple peaks or dormers, and high-complexity rooflines. May require two days and a larger crew. Commercial projects are custom-quoted.

What About Cost Per Linear Foot?

Professional permanent LED lighting systems like Trimlight are priced as a complete installed package — not simply by the foot — because roofline access, height, complexity, and number of channels all factor in alongside raw footage. A rough industry ballpark for professionally installed permanent outdoor LED lighting is approximately $18–$28 per linear foot all-in. That range can shift up or down depending on your home's specifics. The only accurate price is the one we give you after measuring your actual roofline — which is exactly why every estimate is free and done in person.

Pricing Factors

What Affects the Cost of Installation?

Every home is different. These are the main variables that move the price up or down.

📐

Linear Footage

The single biggest driver. Pricing is primarily based on how many feet of roofline, eaves, and fascia are being covered. More footage means more materials and more installation time.

🏠

Home Size & Stories

A single-story home with a clean roofline is typically the most affordable install. Two-story homes or those with steep pitches require additional time and equipment.

🔀

Roofline Complexity

Dormers, multiple peaks, angles, and architectural details add complexity. A straightforward roofline is faster to outfit than a highly detailed one.

💡

Number of Channels

Trimlight uses a channel system for independent zone control. More channels allow for more customization — and factor slightly into the total cost.

🏢

Residential vs. Commercial

Commercial projects — storefronts, restaurants, office buildings — are custom-quoted based on scale, height, access requirements, and scope.

Side by Side

Trimlight vs. Traditional Christmas Lights: The Full Picture

Most people compare the upfront cost of Trimlight against the upfront cost of a string of lights. That's the wrong comparison. Here's what it actually looks like.

Traditional Lights Trimlight (Permanent)
Upfront Cost $200–$600 (lights + hardware) $3,000–$8,000+ (one-time, installed)
Professional Installation $300–$1,500 every season Included in one-time price
Takedown & Removal $100–$400 per season Never needed
Storage Bins, garage space, tangled strands Nothing — stays in place year-round
Replacement / Damage Bulbs fail, strands wear out yearly Lifetime product warranty — 50K+ hr rated LEDs
Electricity Cost $25–$75/season (higher with incandescent) ~$2–5/month running nightly (ultra-efficient LED)
Colors Available Whatever's on the shelf at the store 16 million+ colors, fully app-controlled
When You Can Use It Christmas season only 365 days — every holiday, any occasion
Time Investment Hours of setup & takedown every year Zero — control from your phone
Roof & Gutter Risk Nail holes, gutter damage, ladder falls Patented channel system, no penetrations
Warranty None Lifetime product warranty
10-Year View

What Do You Actually Spend Over 10 Years?

The math changes dramatically when you zoom out. Here's an estimate based on a typical medium-sized Lehigh Valley home using conservative numbers for traditional light service.

Traditional Lights — 10 Years

Initial lights & hardware ~$400
Pro installation × 10 seasons ~$5,000
Takedown × 10 seasons ~$2,000
Replacement lights over time ~$300
Electricity (10 seasons) ~$250
Storage bins & misc ~$150
Estimated Total ~$8,100

Based on ~$500/install + $200/takedown per season. Doesn't include your time on a ladder.

Trimlight Permanent System — 10 Years

One-time professional installation ~$4,500
Annual reinstallation cost $0
Takedown / removal cost $0
Replacement lights (warranty) $0
Electricity (10 yrs, nightly use) ~$240
Storage & maintenance $0
Estimated Total ~$4,740

Based on avg install of $4,500 + ~$2/mo electricity running nightly year-round.

Estimated 10-year savings with Trimlight:
Based on these conservative estimates, a permanent system typically costs less over a decade than recurring professional installation and removal — while giving you lights 365 days a year instead of just 6 weeks.
~$3,360
in estimated savings over 10 years

These are estimates based on industry averages and are intended to illustrate the general cost difference over time. Your actual costs will vary based on your home, your lighting contractor, and your usage habits. We recommend a free in-home estimate to compare accurately for your specific situation.

Running Costs

How Much Does Trimlight Cost to Run?

One of the most common questions we get. The short answer: not much. Trimlight uses ultra-efficient LED technology, and because you control everything from the app, you decide exactly when and how long the lights run.

~$2–5
estimated monthly electricity cost running every night
~$25–60
estimated annual electricity cost for a typical Lehigh Valley home
~$240
estimated electricity cost over 10 years of nightly use

Trimlight LEDs draw a fraction of the power that incandescent Christmas lights use. Set a schedule in the app to run a few hours each evening and your electricity bill will barely move. Compare that to older incandescent holiday lights which can cost $50–$100+ per season — for just 4–6 weeks of use.

Financing Available

Don't want to pay it all upfront? We offer financing options that let you spread the cost over time. Many homeowners find that monthly financing payments are comparable to what they were already spending each year on holiday light installation and removal.

Common Questions

Pricing FAQ

Is there a cheaper version of Trimlight available?

Trimlight is a professional-grade permanent system — it's not designed to compete with DIY lighting products found on Amazon. The price reflects professional installation, commercial-grade hardware, and a lifetime warranty. There are cheaper permanent lighting systems on the market, but they typically don't carry the same quality, warranty, or app functionality. We believe Trimlight represents the best value for homeowners who want a system that lasts decades.

Does the price include the app and controller?

Yes. The Trimlight app, controller box, and all hardware are included in the installation price. There are no ongoing subscription fees or monthly software costs. You pay once and own the system outright.

What happens if I sell my house?

Trimlight is a permanent home improvement that adds to your curb appeal and home value. Most sellers choose to include it as a selling feature — buyers love it, especially in neighborhoods where holiday lighting is popular. If you'd prefer to take the system with you when you move, that's also possible since the channel system is designed to be removed cleanly without damage.

How does the estimate process work?

We schedule a free, no-obligation in-home estimate at a time that works for you. One of our installation experts comes out, measures your roofline, walks through the options, and gives you an exact price. Most estimates take about 20–30 minutes. No pressure, no commitment — you just leave knowing exactly what it would cost for your home.

Is the estimate really free?

100% free, no obligation. We never charge for estimates and there's no pressure to move forward. We believe you should know exactly what you're investing before committing to anything.

What warranty does Trimlight come with?

Trimlight carries a lifetime product warranty on the lighting system. If anything fails due to a product defect, it's covered. This is a significant part of why the upfront investment is higher than DIY alternatives — you're not buying lights that need replacing every few years.

Can the lights be removed if I change my mind?

Yes. The Trimlight channel system attaches to your fascia using mounting clips — there are no nails or holes drilled into your home's structure. The system can be removed cleanly without damaging your roofline or siding.

How much does Trimlight cost compared to Jellyfish Lighting or EverLights?

All three professional permanent lighting systems — Trimlight, Jellyfish Lighting, and EverLights — fall in a broadly similar price range for residential installs: roughly $3,000 to $10,000+ depending on home size and complexity. Trimlight and Jellyfish are dealer-install only, so every quote includes professional labor. EverLights offers a DIY self-install option (ClickLights) that can lower the upfront number, though that shifts the installation responsibility to you. For professionally installed systems, the price differences are less about brand and more about your specific home's footage and complexity. The bigger differentiator is what you get for the price: Trimlight's lifetime warranty is the strongest in the category.

How much does permanent Christmas lighting cost in the Lehigh Valley?

In the Lehigh Valley, professional permanent Christmas light installations typically range from $2,800 to $9,000+ for residential properties, depending on home size, roofline footage, and complexity. This is a one-time cost — unlike traditional holiday lights where you pay $300–$1,500+ in professional installation fees every single season. Most Lehigh Valley homeowners find that the permanent system pays for itself within 5–8 years when you account for what you were spending on annual install and takedown. And unlike seasonal lights, Trimlight works 365 days a year — not just for Christmas.

What is included in the Trimlight installation price?

Everything. The Trimlight installation price includes: all hardware (channel, LEDs, wire, connectors), the Trimlight Edge controller box, professional labor for the full install, programming your controller before we leave, and a walkthrough of the app. There are no ongoing subscription fees, no monthly software costs, and no annual service charges. You pay once and own the system outright — and it's covered by a lifetime product warranty on the product itself.

Is the cost of Trimlight worth it?

For homeowners who currently pay someone to hang and take down holiday lights every year, the math usually makes the decision straightforward. If you're spending $500–$1,500 per year on seasonal installation and removal, Trimlight pays for itself in 3–8 years — and then costs you nothing going forward except a few dollars a month in electricity. Beyond the finances: you also get year-round lighting (not just 6 weeks), zero annual hassle, and a system that adds visible curb appeal every single night. For homeowners who love the look and use it regularly, the value is typically very clear within the first few years. See the full cost comparison →

How much does trim lighting cost for a 2,000 sq ft home?

A 2,000 sq ft home in the Lehigh Valley typically falls in our "average" tier — roughly $4,000 to $6,500 installed, though the final price depends on your roofline's actual linear footage and complexity. A two-story colonial with a straightforward roofline might measure 160–180 linear feet. One with dormers, multiple peaks, or an attached garage adds footage and complexity. The best way to know for certain is a free in-person estimate — we measure everything and give you an exact number on the spot.

How does Trimlight compare to Gemstone Lights or Jellyfish?

All three are permanent LED lighting systems. The key differences come down to channel design, app functionality, warranty terms, and who installs it locally. Trimlight uses a patented channel system that virtually disappears during the day. As your local authorized Trimlight dealer, we handle installation, warranty service, and support — you're not dealing with a national call center.
