Off Duty Lighting charges $4.50 per foot for holiday light installation, here's how you can calculate the pricing based on different lengths:
-
For 50 feet of lights: $4.50/ft × 50 ft = $225.00
-
For 100 feet of lights: $4.50/ft × 100 ft = $450.00
-
For 300 feet of lights: $4.50/ft × 300 ft = $1,350.00
And so on, the total cost would be calculated by multiplying the length in feet by the price per foot ($4.50). Prices include the materials, which are the lights themselves, storage bin, and automatic light timer. Also included is the installation and removal of lights at the end of the season, staring January 3rd.
The following year's install cost goes down to just $1.50 per foot, as you will already own your Christmas lights, and all you are having to pay for at that point is install and takedown.
What affects the price of our services
Time: The shape of the lawn will likely affect the cost of your lawn service. Perfectly rectangular lawns will usually take less time to mow compared to an irregular shaped lawn full of curves and obstacles such as trees, or fountains, lawn decorations, etc. The simpler the lawn, the faster it will take to cut, therefore reducing the cost of your service.
Optional Clippings Disposal: For an additional charge, we can bag & haul off your lawn clippings off to the dump for proper disposal. Bagging your clippings is the preferred method because if there is too thick of a layer of clippings over your lawn, it will prevent nutrients from reaching the grass below. This will also reduce the need to dethatch your lawn as often, keeping your grass greener longer.
Minimum Charge: Whether your lawn is 100 sqft or 15,000 sqft, Every time one of our crews shows up to your property, we must charge a minimum of $34.99 for any service that you are requesting. We still need to pay for gas, equipment maintenance, vehicle maintenance, employees, disposal, and many other things. And we can only keep doing that as long as we have a minimum charge for all of our services that we provide. We strive to make a financially-sustainable business that can serve our customers far into the future.
