Permanent bands are that footage at $22–34 per lit foot and lease bands $18–32 per foot with the $595 minimum. Every range starts and ends on a row of our published price table, so each figure is one of those prices. LightCast measures your own roofline from one photo, and we check the length at the house before any material is ordered.

Cost and planning

Why are permanent Christmas lights so expensive?
