Build your roofline kit
Pick your house type, swap in your measurements, and see your price instantly. We cut, bulb, clip, and label every run to fit. How to measure
1Your roofline
Straight runs are gutters and flat edges. Peaks are the pointed parts: enter the width at the ground and we work out the sloped edges. See the measuring guide.

How to measure (10 minutes, no ladder)
You only need a tape measure or Google Maps. Break your roofline into straight runs and peaks, measure each one, and enter them in the kit builder.
Tape or measuring wheel
- Stand on the ground under the gutter.
- Measure corner to corner along the house. The gutter sits right above you.
- Write each run down with a name, like “Front gutter 38 ft.”
Google Maps
- Find your house in satellite view on a computer.
- Right-click the corner of the roof and choose Measure distance.
- Click along the roof edge to the other corner and read the length.
Width + steepness
Don't climb. Measure the width of the wall under the peak at the ground, then pick how steep the roof looks below. The kit builder calculates both sloped edges for you, including the roof overhang.
How steep is your peak?
Before you order
- Measure every section separately.We label each run with the name you give it.
- Round up to the next foot.We add 5% on top, so you're covered at corners.
- Find your outlet.Measure from the outlet to where the lights start. That's your lead length.
- Stay off the ladder to measure.Everything here can be done from the ground or a computer.
Every house. Every color.
Warm white for classic, cool white for crisp, multicolor for nostalgic. Gutters, peaks, dormers and garages all work the same way.

Questions
What if I measure wrong?
Every kit includes 5% extra length, and we compare your numbers to satellite imagery of your address before we cut. If something looks off, we contact you first. Measure each section separately and you'll be close enough.
How do I measure the peaks without a ladder?
Measure the width of the peak at the ground (the wall under it), then pick how steep the roof looks. The kit builder converts that into the length of both sloped edges.
How much does a typical house cost?
Using our starting sizes, with the timer included: a townhouse is about $166, a Cape Cod about $360, a ranch about $393, and a colonial about $438. Kits over $399 ship free; under that, shipping is $14.95. Your price depends on your actual measurements, and the builder shows it live.
What's in the box?
Your runs, cut to length with commercial C9 LED bulbs installed at 12" spacing and clips attached, each labeled by location. Plus a layout map, a fused lead to your outlet, and a timer if you add one.
How many feet can I plug into one outlet?
We keep each continuous circuit to 250 ft or less, per the wire manufacturer's limit. Bigger houses get split into circuits, and the kit builder tells you how many outlets you'll need.
When will it ship?
Kits are made to order and usually ship within 3–5 business days by ground. To hang lights Thanksgiving weekend, order by November 15. For delivery before Christmas, order by December 10.
Can I return it?
Custom-cut kits are made for one house, so they're final sale. If anything arrives damaged or defective, email us a photo within 14 days and we'll replace it at no cost.
Can I reuse it next year?
Yes. Unclip each run, coil it, and store it in the box with its label. Next year it goes right back in the same spot. That's the big difference from a pro install, which you pay for again every season.
