If you're considering hiring a professional to install your Christmas lights this season, one of the first questions that may come to mind is:
“How long does the installation actually take?”

At On Point Holiday Lighting, we make the process quick, smooth, and stress-free—so you can start enjoying your display as soon as possible. Here’s everything you need to know about how long it takes and what goes into it.

🕒 Most Installations Are Done in Just a Few Hours

In most cases, we complete full holiday lighting installations in 2 to 5 hours, depending on:

• The size and layout of your home
• Complexity of the design
• Number of lighting zones (rooflines, trees, pathways, etc.)
• Weather and access conditions

Our team is trained for efficiency and safety, which means we arrive on time, work quickly, and leave your property glowing—without disrupting your day.

🏡 Typical Time by Home Size

Here’s a rough breakdown of average install times:

• Smaller homes (1,000–1,800 sq ft): 2–3 hours
• Mid-size homes (1,800–2,800 sq ft): 3–4 hours
• Larger or custom homes (2,800+ sq ft): 4–5+ hours

If your project includes extra features like wrapping trees, lighting landscape beds, or coordinating color patterns, it may take a bit longer—but we always keep you informed.

🔧 What Happens During the Installation?

Once you’ve approved your custom design, we’ll schedule your install and bring everything needed to complete the job:

• Commercial-grade LED C9 lights
• Timers, clips, and power connectors
• Safety ladders and gear for multi-level homes

We also test the system to ensure every bulb is working and every line is clean and secure. You’ll see the full display the same day we install it.

💡 What About Maintenance?

If something goes wrong after installation—like a bulb going out or a strand shifting—we’ll come back and fix it. Our Christmas light installation service in DFW includes full-season maintenance, so you’re never left in the dark.

📦 And Takedown? That’s Fast Too

When the season ends, we return to:

• Remove the lights safely
• Pack and organize materials
• Offer optional storage for next year

Most takedowns take 1–2 hours and are just as smooth as installation day.
