What permanent lighting costs in Utah
Our permanent lighting costs $22 to $35 per linear foot, installed. That includes the lights, track, controller, installation, and initial app setup.
Your quote depends on how much roofline you want lit and what it takes to reach and install it. We'll measure your home for free and give you a written price before work begins.
Estimate your cost by roofline length
Whole feet from 1 to 1,000. That range is a limit of this calculator, not a minimum or maximum job size. It opens at 150 feet as an example, not a measurement of your home.
Estimated installation range Example
A planning estimate. Your written quote follows an on-site measurement.
Estimated installation range for 150 linear feet, shown as an example: $3,300 to $5,250. A planning estimate.

The estimator needs JavaScript to run. The example costs table below applies the same rate to common roofline lengths.
Why linear feet and not square feet
We measure the roofline the lights follow, not the floor space inside your home. A wide rambler can need more lighting than a compact two-story house.
Height, corners, and roofline changes also affect the installation. A straight section is simpler to fit than several peaks and porch returns, which is why we look at the home before quoting.
How we determine the footage
We'll walk around the house with you and measure the sections you want lit. We'll also show you where the track would start and stop, so you know what the quote covers.
Example installation costs
These examples show the published rate applied to different lengths of roofline. Use them to plan a budget. Your home's measured footage and installation requirements determine the final quote.
| Roofline covered | At $22 / ft | At $35 / ft | Planning note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 linear feet | $2,200 | $3,500 | Actual coverage depends on your home |
| 150 linear feet | $3,300 | $5,250 | A budget example, not a typical-home quote |
| 200 linear feet | $4,400 | $7,000 | Measure each section you want lit |
| 300 linear feet | $6,600 | $10,500 | Your quote uses measured roofline footage |
The examples above are estimates. Your written quote will show the measured footage, included work, and price for your home.
Front only, or the whole roofline
You can light the front of the house, add the sides, or include the back. We'll quote the areas you want covered.
If you're considering more than one layout, tell us at the measurement. We can price the options so you can compare. Adding lights later may require a separate visit and quote.
What is included in the rate
- The LED lights themselves
- The track they seat in, selected to complement your fascia or trim
- The controller that runs the system
- Professional installation, including wiring and app setup
We'll also look at access, trim condition, and available power. If something needs attention before installation or falls outside the standard scope, we'll explain it in your quote.
What the measurement visit involves
It takes under an hour for most homes and it's free with no obligation.
- We walk the exterior with you and measure the sections you want lit
- We look at fascia and trim condition, roof height, access, and where power is available
- We talk through colors and how you plan to use the system across a year
- You get the footage, the rate, and a written installed price
How to get the most out of it
- Decide roughly how much of the house you want lit, even if you change your mind on the day
- Have a look at your fascia and trim beforehand, and flag anything that already needs repair
- Know where your exterior outlets are
- Mention any HOA rules that apply to exterior fixtures on your street
- Anyone else involved in choosing the layout is welcome to join us
Financing
Financing is available through GoodLeap on approved credit. Available terms and monthly payments depend on your project and approval. Ask us about the options when we prepare your quote.
What the price includes long term
Two separate pieces of coverage come with the installation, and it's worth knowing which is which:
| Coverage | Applies to | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Our workmanship | The installation: mounting, track, and wiring | Lifetime |
| The lights | The LEDs on your roofline | 50,000 hours |
Questions we get about price
Is there a minimum job size?
Planning a short section of lights? Send us the address and the area you want covered so we can confirm the pricing before you book a measurement.
Does a two story cost more per foot than a single story?
It can cost more per foot because height affects access, equipment, and installation time. We'll account for that in your quote.
Can I light only part of the front?
Yes. We can measure a smaller section and help you choose a layout that looks complete from the street.
How does this compare to paying someone every December?
Seasonal installation is a recurring service cost. Permanent lighting has a larger upfront installation cost and can also be used throughout the year. See our permanent-versus-seasonal comparison for a closer look.
Is a DIY kit cheaper?
DIY kits usually cost less upfront. The comparison comes down to the kit, installation work, equipment, and who handles maintenance. Our professional-versus-DIY guide walks through those differences.
