This tool is provided as a free, basic version for estimating the cost and layout of Christmas light installations. The accuracy of the measurements and calculations may vary based on user input and image quality. Users are responsible for manually verifying measurements and installation requirements before proceeding with any physical installations. Grants Outdoor assumes no liability for errors, miscalculations, or any damage caused by the use of this tool. For advanced features, detailed designs, or professional installation support, please consider upgrading to the paid version.
Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Christmas Light Photo Editor
Step 1: Upload a Photo
What to do: Click the Upload button and select a clear, well-lit image of the house or structure you want to decorate.
Tip: For the best results, take your photos during the day when the entire area is visible. This will make it easier to place your light strands accurately.
Step 2: Enter Price/Ft
What to do: Enter the price you charge per foot of lights. This will automatically calculate the total price for the installation.
Tip: Make sure your price includes installation, Removal, Service during the season, and any additional costs (e.g., timers or extension cords).
Step 3: Set Reference Points for Measurement
What to do: Click on two points on the photo to set your reference distance. This allows the tool to calculate the actual length of the light strands.
Tip: Choose a section of the house or structure where you know the exact measurement (e.g., a window or door frame). After clicking, input the real-world distance in feet when prompted.
Step 4: Install Lights
What to do: Once the reference points are set, click anywhere on the photo to start placing light strands. Use multiple clicks to outline areas where you want lights.
Tip: Start with the roofline or other prominent features for the most visual impact.
Step 5: Review Your Quote
What to do: As you add more light strands, the total footage, cost, and profit will update. Review the final quote displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Tip: Double-check your measurements and reference points to ensure the most accurate quote.
Step 6: Save or Clear
What to do: If you’re happy with the design, take a screenshot for your records or to show your client. If you want to start over, simply click the Clear button.
Tip: For larger projects, divide the house into smaller sections and plan each one individually for more precise estimates.

Grant’s Outdoor Christmas Light Estimator:
The Easiest Way to Light Up Your Home or Business! 🎅
Welcome to Grant’s Outdoor, where we make Christmas light installations not only look magical but also easy to estimate! As a Christmas light installer (and the owner of Grant’s Outdoor), I’m Cameron, and I’ve created what I believe is quite possibly the best free Christmas light estimator out there! 🎉

🎄 Why Use Our Christmas Light Estimator?
Our tool takes the guesswork out of the equation and saves you the hassle of manually measuring every inch of your roofline. Whether you’re a homeowner just wanting an estimate or a professional installer looking for a quick way to give quotes, this free estimator tool is the fastest way to get results! 💡
• Eliminates Manual Measurements: 🎯 No more “eyeballing” or tape measures.

🔧 How Does It Work?

2. Angles & Distance: The calculator estimates hidden sections by overestimating by 10%, like areas blocked by trees or tricky roof angles.
This method is quick, easy, and incredibly efficient for getting a general estimate. Perfect for installers who need to focus on price and time, rather than measuring every inch perfectly. 📏
🎅 Why I Built This Tool
As the owner of Grant’s Outdoor, I’ve spent years installing Christmas lights with my awesome team—the GOATS (Grant’s Outdoor A-Team). I knew we needed a tool that anyone on the team could use confidently without worrying about exact measurements. That’s why I created this free tool—so that anyone on my team could give quick, accurate quotes.
“I’m comfortable with anyone on my team or any installer using this tool. That’s why I made it. For years, I wanted a simple solution, and I finally got around to making it.” – Cameron 🎄
But that’s not all! I’ve also developed paid versions of our tools for those looking for even more advanced features. These come with continuous updates.
