Frequently Asked Questions
Are materials included?
No. The calculator estimates labor only. Lights, clips, cords, timers, controls, and other materials are not included.
Can I provide my own lights?
Yes. Customer-supplied lights may be installed after their type and condition are reviewed. Repairs, organization, storage, and replacement lights are not included.
How is footage priced?
The calculator uses progressive tiers. The first portion is billed at the first-tier rate, and only additional footage moves into the next tier.
Can removal be included?
Yes. Removal is optional and estimated at 40% of installation labor for a one-story home or 50% for a two-story home.
Are trees, columns, fences, or landscaping included?
No. These require a custom quote because access, attachment methods, equipment, and complexity vary.
What can change the estimate?
Roof height and slope, access, complexity, outlets, cord routing, timers, customer-supplied lights, and safety or equipment needs may affect the final quote.
