Christmas light installers in Bee Cave, TX
Bee Cave is small, affluent and newer than its neighbors — much of the residential development here went up in the last twenty years, which means larger homes with modern rooflines and better access than the older Hill Country builds nearby. That combination often makes it the best value on the west side.
The local characteristic worth planning around is the oak cover. Bee Cave lots frequently have several mature live oaks close to the house, which are beautiful to light and awkward to work around when the crew needs ladder space against the roofline. Mention them at the quote stage; a company that plans for them will not discover the problem on install day.

| Job | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Single-story roofline, lights supplied by installer | $350 – $700 |
| Two-story roofline, lights supplied | $600 – $1,200 |
| Roofline + trees, bushes, walkway | $900 – $2,500 |
| Large custom or three-story home | $2,500 – $6,000+ |
| Labor only (you own the lights) | $200 – $600 |
| Takedown and storage, if billed separately | $100 – $300 |
Ranges are estimates for planning, not quotes. Most companies price per linear foot after seeing the property. Always get the total in writing, and confirm whether takedown is included.
Common questions — Bee Cave
How much does Christmas light installation cost in Bee Cave?
Most single-family homes run $400–$1,200 for the season when the installer supplies the lights. Larger or multi-story homes with tree and landscape lighting commonly reach $2,000–$4,000. Labor-only installs, where you own the lights, are cheaper — usually $200–$600.
When should I book?
Book in September or October. Austin's installer population is smaller than Dallas or Houston relative to demand, and the Hill Country specialists fill up first. Companies generally open their books in September, and the best crews fill up first. If you have a specific install date in mind, book in September or early October.
Are the lights included in the price?
It depends on the company, and this is the single biggest source of quote confusion. Most full-service installers supply commercial-grade lights, install them, maintain them through the season, remove them in January, and store them until next year — the lights stay theirs. Other companies, often landscapers or window cleaners doing seasonal work, only hang lights you already own. Ask which model you are being quoted before comparing prices.
When do the lights come down?
Standard takedown runs from early January through early February, weather permitting. Reputable companies include takedown in the seasonal price and schedule it automatically. Get the takedown window in writing — a company that will not commit to one is a company that may leave your lights up in March.
Do I need to be home for the install?
Usually not for the install itself, as long as the crew has access to exterior outlets and any gated areas. You should be home for the initial walkthrough or quote so you can agree on exactly what gets lit.
What about my electric bill?
Modern LED installs are cheap to run — typically a few dollars a month even for a large display. If a company is still installing incandescent C9s, ask why; LEDs cost more up front but draw roughly 80–90% less power and fail less often mid-season.
Is the installer insured?
Ask, every time, and ask for a certificate. Crews work at height on your property. A company without general liability coverage means an injury or a damaged roof becomes your problem. Any legitimate installer will send proof without hesitating.
