Holiday Lighting for Acworth Homes, From the Lakes to Main Street
Acworth is known as the Lake City, and December is when that setting pays off. The season opens downtown with Santa's Arrival and the tree lighting in Historic Downtown Acworth, and later in the month the Light Up Main Parade sends decorated golf carts from Cauble Park through town. Between those nights, homeowners from the Lake Acworth shoreline to the golf communities of west Cobb put their own houses on display.
Acworth Christmas Lights does one thing: we take your quote request and pass it to an independent holiday lighting company that works in this area. You deal with the installer directly on design, price and scheduling. This page explains what to expect so you can compare quotes with confidence.
What Christmas Light Installation Costs Around Acworth
We do not set prices. Your installer's written quote is the only number that counts. For planning, these are published estimates:
- Atlanta area average: Angi's Atlanta cost guide (updated November 2025) puts most jobs between $283 and $834, with an average of $539, or roughly $3.10 to $8.70 per linear foot.
- Two-story homes: the same guide lists $620 to $1,490 for a two-story home of 2,500 to 3,500 square feet, and $870 to $2,230 for three stories.
- National figures: HomeAdvisor (updated June 2026) reports $220 to $684 for a typical job, with multi-story homes reaching $1,300. HomeGuide (October 2025) quotes $5 to $12 per linear foot when the installer supplies the lights.
Those averages mix two different services. At the low end is labor only, where a handyman hangs lights you already own. At the high end is a full-service lease, where the company supplies commercial-grade lights fitted to your house, maintains them, removes them and stores them. One installer interviewed by Family Handyman in 2024 described a $500 minimum and an average job near $1,400. If a quote seems high next to a national average, check which of those two services it covers.
What moves the price up or down
- Linear feet of roofline, and whether ridges and peaks are included or only the eaves
- Height and pitch. HomeAdvisor suggests planning on about 20 percent more for hard-to-reach roofs
- Who supplies the lights, and whether they are LED
- Extras such as tree wrapping, walkway stakes, wreaths and garland
- Whether takedown, storage and mid-season service calls are part of the price
- Minimum job fees, which Angi puts at $150 to $300 for many companies

Many of the area's subdivisions date from the late 1980s onward: two-story traditionals and newer craftsman-style homes with steep front gables, often on sloped lots where the back of the house is a full story taller than the front. Neighborhoods such as Brookstone, Starr Lake and Burnt Hickory Lakes are full of them. A 28-foot extension ladder on a sloped driveway is where holiday decorating stops being fun.
The numbers back that up. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports about 160 decorating-related injuries every day during the holiday season, nearly half of them falls, and about 14,900 emergency room visits in a single season. Professional crews work at height every day in November with the right ladders, roof gear and clips that attach to gutters and shingles without nails or staples.
Before work starts, ask your installer for proof of liability insurance and, if they have employees, workers' compensation coverage. A reputable company will have it ready.
What to Look For in a Full-Service Quote
Packages differ by company, so read the quote line by line. Most full-service installers offer some version of the following:
- Design: a walk-around or photo-based plan showing which rooflines, windows and landscape features get lit, and in what color
- Lights and materials: commercial-grade LED strands, usually C9 bulbs for rooflines and mini lights for trees and shrubs, plus clips, cords and timers
- Installation: many homes are finished in a few hours, and larger designs can take a full day
- In-season maintenance: repair visits if a section goes dark. Ask how to request one
- Takedown and storage: removal is commonly scheduled in the first half of January, and leased lights are typically stored by the installer
Many companies lease the lights rather than sell them, and some, including large national franchises, will not hang customer-supplied products at all. Others are happy to install lights you own if they are in good shape. Say which you prefer when the installer contacts you.
When to Book
Installers in this business commonly start hanging lights in October and stay busy through mid December. National franchise Christmas Decor says appointments typically fill up by mid-November. September and October requests get the widest choice of dates, and some companies advertise early-season discounts. Late November requests can still work, but expect fewer open slots and less flexibility on design changes.
Rooflines, Trees, Wreaths and Garland
A roofline outline in warm white is the most requested design and the most affordable starting point. From there, common additions include wrapped trunks and canopies on front-yard trees, lit wreaths on windows and gables, garland on porch rails and columns, and stake lights along walks and driveways. Trees are priced separately. HomeAdvisor lists $75 to $200 for a small tree and $1,500 or more for trees over 30 feet.
On the water, keep the focus on the house. Docks on Lake Allatoona fall under U.S. Army Corps of Engineers shoreline permits, so check the terms of yours before adding anything electrical at the dock.
HOA Rules in Acworth-Area Neighborhoods
Many Acworth subdivisions have covenants, and Georgia HOA attorneys note that boards may limit how long holiday decorations stay up. Common windows run from around Thanksgiving to mid January, and some communities also restrict brightness or the hours lights can be on. Check your covenants or ask your management company before you approve a design, then give the dates to your installer so installation and takedown land inside the window.
Businesses and Neighborhood Entrances
Storefronts, offices, churches and HOA boards can use the same form. Choose Business or HOA / Community as the property type. Commercial quotes usually depend on building height, the length of the facade, access to power, and whether a lift is needed. For subdivision entrances, installers often ask about power at the monument sign, so note that if you know it.
Acworth Christmas Light Installation FAQ
How much does Christmas light installation cost in Acworth?
Prices are set by the installer, not by us. As a planning guide, Angi's Atlanta-area figures (November 2025) show most jobs between $283 and $834, with two-story homes of 2,500 to 3,500 square feet at $620 to $1,490. Full-service packages that include the lights, maintenance, takedown and storage often cost more than those averages. Your written quote is what counts.
Who does the installation?
Acworth Christmas Lights is a referral service. We pass your request to an independent holiday lighting company that serves the Acworth area, and they handle your quote and installation. Ask your installer for proof of insurance before work begins.
My house has a steep two-story roof. Can it still be done?
In most cases, yes. Tall and steep rooflines are a main reason people hire a professional. Expect the quote to reflect the extra time and equipment. HomeAdvisor suggests planning on roughly 20 percent more for hard-to-reach roofs. Some installers will propose lighting the front elevation only, which keeps the look while holding down cost. Ask what they recommend for your roof.
When should I request a quote?
September and October give you the most scheduling options. Installers in this industry commonly begin installations in October, and national franchise Christmas Decor reports that appointments typically fill by mid-November. You can still ask later in the season, but dates are tighter and design choices may be limited to what the installer has in stock.
I live on Lake Allatoona or Lake Acworth. Can my dock be lit?
Treat the dock separately from the house. Private docks on Lake Allatoona operate under a Shoreline Use Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, so review your permit terms before adding anything electrical there. Your installer can design the house, trees and lakeside yard so the display reads well from the water without touching the dock.
My address says Acworth but I'm in Paulding or Cherokee County. Does that matter?
No. Several large neighborhoods with Acworth mailing addresses, Bentwater for example, sit in Paulding County, and part of Acworth reaches into Cherokee. Enter your full street address on the form so your request goes to an installer who covers your side of the county line.
Does my HOA limit when lights can go up?
Possibly. Georgia HOA boards are allowed to set time limits on holiday decorations, and many do. A common pattern is up around Thanksgiving and down by mid January, sometimes with rules on brightness or hours. Read your covenants or ask your management company, then pass the dates to your installer before scheduling.
Are the lights provided, or do I use my own?
It depends on the company. Many professional installers lease commercial-grade LED lights fitted to your home and store them after the season. Some will not install customer-supplied lights at all, while others will if the strands are in good condition. Mention what you have when the installer contacts you, and ask how the price changes either way.
What happens if a strand goes out in December?
Most full-service packages include in-season maintenance, but the details differ. Ask your installer how to report a problem, whether service calls are included in the price, and what is not covered, such as damage from storms or landscaping crews. Get the answer in writing on your quote.
Does it cost anything to request a quote?
No. Submitting the form is free and you are under no obligation to book. If the quote you receive does not fit your budget, you can simply decline it.
