What changes a quote
- Roofline length. Pricing generally follows the feet lit[2].
- Stories and roof shape: peaks, dormers and two-story work.
- Extras: trees, palms, wreaths, garland, landscape lighting.
- Whose lights: hanging your own lights costs less per foot[2].
Faster quote: give a rough roofline length and the home height on the form. The installer may ask for a photo by text.
