The short answer
What belongs in a lighting estimate?
Professional holiday-lighting estimates should explain the design, customer-owned lights and materials, installation, seasonal maintenance, removal and storage arrangements. Confirm what is included, who handles each task and the agreed timing before booking.
Before you send the request
Who owns the lights?
The lights are customer-owned. Tell the team what you already have and review any proposed materials before approving the estimate.
Are maintenance, removal and storage included?
Your estimate defines those arrangements. Ask for each item to be listed with its responsibilities, timing and any separate charge.
What changes the estimate?
The areas to light, height and access, design complexity, materials and seasonal support all affect the proposed work. Photos help the team understand your property.
Sources & scope
CPSC guidance supports checking outdoor suitability and condition of lighting. Leave installation and electrical suitability questions to the team; this checklist is for planning your estimate.
