Two quotes, hundreds of dollars apart, often describe two different products, even when both are priced per linear foot of roofline. Here is the checklist that makes them comparable. For the numbers behind it, see what installation costs in Northwest Washington.
The six line items
- 1Measured scope. Which rooflines, in feet. Not "the front of the house."
- 2Materials. Bulb type, color temperature, spacing, and who owns them at the end of the season.
- 3Install window. A date range, agreed before you sign.
- 4In-season service. What happens when a bulb or a section fails, and how fast someone is back.
- 5Takedown. Included, with a window, at no extra charge.
- 6Storage. Whose garage the lights live in until next November.
What a missing line item means
If service is not in writing, assume a service call is billable. If takedown is not in writing, assume January is a separate invoice, and it is worth knowing when lights should actually come down. If storage is not mentioned, the lights are yours to keep in a box. Every quote we write, from Mount Vernon to Oak Harbor, spells out all six.
Our quotes spell out all six, in writing.
