Seasonal versus permanent
Seasonal lighting is installed for the holiday period and removed afterward. Permanent architectural LED lighting is a separate installed-system project intended for repeated use. Equipment, scope and pricing differ. Do not use the seasonal program’s starting price as a permanent-lighting estimate.
Understand the $800 starting point
Sparkle Squad’s standard seasonal program starts at $800 and includes Sparkle-supplied lighting, design, installation, in-season maintenance, removal and storage. The lights remain owned and managed by Sparkle Squad. The final quote depends on the agreed display; this is not a fixed price for every property or a labor-only offer to hang customer-owned lights.
Choose a focused design brief
Identify the roofline, trees, entry or other areas you want considered and the look you prefer. A photo is helpful but optional for starting the quote. If a visual concept is prepared, treat it as a design discussion aid—not an image of a completed installation, a final-look guarantee or a reservation.
Request your preferred date early
October 2026 installations are fully booked. November is the current priority, with December requests also reviewed. Share any event deadline or preferred period, then have the team confirm a feasible date individually. An inquiry or proposal alone does not hold a crew on the calendar.
Compare responsibilities as well as price
Ask who supplies and owns the lighting, what is installed, how in-season issues are handled, when removal is planned and who stores the equipment. Labor-only estimates are not directly comparable to full service. Permanent-system proposals should identify the equipment, controls, installation and documented service or warranty terms.
Make the next step easy
Have the address, preferred timing and areas to decorate in mind. Use the Holiday quote page for a seasonal display or the Permanent LED page for a year-round system. Exact scope, price and installation timing are confirmed with the team, not automatically by this guide.
