yea, my partner runs the holiday lighting. so i'm not sure how much to say we charge. I want to say it like $200 for labor per 15 strands that have to be put up plus cost of lights. There is also a margin in the price of lights. When you buy thousands at a time you can get them pretty cheap. As of today we have about 165 houses that we have to do when the grass stops growing. We only take customers that want every bush, tree and peak covered in lights. I dont think we can take on anymore houses. With a five man team we can only do 3-5 houses a day. hope that helps.
