If you’re considering smart permanent outdoor lighting, one of the first questions you’ll ask is:“How much do Gemstone Lights cost?”
It’s a fair question, especially for homeowners across the Greater Toronto Area, where home styles and rooflines vary widely. At Apex Impressions, we install across the GTA and can confidently say: you don’t need to guess. Here’s a real breakdown of what most homeowners can expect.
Pricing Breakdown: What You Can Expect
Small Homes (Townhouse or Bungalow)
For a front install with a clean roofline, you’re looking at around $2,500-$3,000 + HST.
Standard 2-Storey Home (Double Garage)
Most homes across GTA subdivisions fall into this category. Front-facing installs typically range from $3,000-$5,000 + HST.
Full Wrap Install
A full perimeter install; front, sides, and rear, usually starts at $6,000 + HST, and scales up depending on the size of the home and roofline.
Larger Homes or Corner Lots
Large custom layouts, added roofline complexity, or homes with lots of exposure typically range from $5,000 to $10,000+.

Want to Start Smaller? You Can.
Here’s something many homeowners don’t know: You don’t have to do your full home at once. Many of our clients start by lighting just the front of the home. This is done for security, curb appeal, and holiday patterns, you can always expand later! Gemstone Lights' modular system lets you add on in phases, spreading out the investment while still enjoying the benefits now.
Gemstone vs. Traditional Holiday Lighting Costs
When comparing Gemstone Lights to the cost of hiring a professional to install seasonal lights each year, the numbers add up fast. A single Christmas install from a reputable company in the GTA often ranges from $800 to $1,500+ per year, and that doesn’t include removal or storage. Do that for 5–6 years, and you’ve easily spent more than the cost of a front-facing permanent system.
Even if you install lights yourself, you’re investing in ladders, clips, cords, replacement bulbs, not to mention spending hours in freezing weather. This also leads to one of the biggest hidden costs: risk of injury. Every year, thousands of Canadians are injured falling off ladders during holiday installs.
And the end result? Cords, clips, and wires are often visible, especially during daylight hours. Temporary installs rarely match the clean, professional finish most homeowners want.
Gemstone Lights, by contrast, are installed flush inside a colour-matched aluminum track that blends in with your soffit, virtually invisible by day, stunning at night. Your lighting is installed once: professionally, safely, and permanently. As a bonus, the system doubles as functional, warm-white architectural or security lighting all year long. It’s a one-time investment that enhances your home’s appearance, safety, and value for decades.
