What it costs: $30 per linear foot
App, controller and full configuration are all inside the same measured per-foot rate for a Manteca home.
| Roofline scope | Linear feet | Installed price |
|---|---|---|
| Single-zone installOne controllable run. | 115 ft | $3,450 |
| Three-zone installGarage, main eave, upper story. | 170 ft | $5,100 |
| Multi-zone propertyFront, sides and patio zones. | 240 ft | $7,200 |
Permanent lighting is $30 per linear foot of roofline actually lit, measured on site and confirmed in writing before any material is ordered. The figure covers the channel, the sealed RGB modules, the low-voltage transformer, the controller and the labor to install them.
Configured before our professionals leave your driveway
Commissioning includes pairing the app, naming zones and saving the scenes your household will actually use.
Handing over a system with a factory app and zero configuration is how these installations end up sitting unused after the first month. Our professionals set the everyday warm-white scene, build the major holiday presets for the year ahead, and name each zone the way your household already refers to it, front eave, garage, patio, before the walkthrough ends at a typical Manteca job that usually covers 3 to 4 zones.
That configuration step usually adds 20 to 30 minutes to the visit and is the single biggest reason app-controlled systems keep getting used past the first December. We also add every adult household member who wants access during that same visit, so nobody in a Manteca home is stuck waiting on one person's phone to change a scene.
What the app actually does day to day
Mostly nothing, because the sunset-based schedule handles it automatically, which is the entire point of setting it up correctly once.
You open the app to change a color for a birthday, dim the driveway zone during a late gathering, or shift the off time by an hour. Everything else runs on the stored schedule, and Manteca sunset tracking means the on-time shifts automatically from roughly 8:15 pm in June to before 5 pm in December without anyone touching a setting.
Most Manteca households report opening the app four or five times a month once the initial holiday presets are built, mainly for one-off events like a birthday palette or a Fourth of July scene. The rest of the year the system simply runs on its own, which is the behavior our professionals aim for during commissioning. Households in Powers Tract, where lots tend to run wider than 65 feet, often split the extra frontage into a fourth zone so the schedule stays easy to read at a glance.
Keeping control working through a Manteca winter outage
Scenes and schedules are stored on the local controller, so a Wi-Fi drop during a winter storm never stops the lights from running.
Central Valley tule fog and the occasional winter storm can knock out home internet for a few hours, and a cloud-only control system would leave the display dark at exactly the wrong moment during a December weekend. Because the schedule and scenes live on the controller itself, a Manteca household keeps its programmed display running through any outage and simply loses remote access until the connection returns.
We test this specifically during commissioning by walking through what happens if Wi-Fi drops mid-scene, so every Manteca customer understands the system will not go dark during the exact weather conditions most likely to cause an outage in the first place.
Setup notes for Manteca households
- The controller joins your home Wi-Fi during commissioning; we confirm signal reaches the transformer location before leaving.
- Scenes are saved locally, so the lights still run their schedule through a winter storm outage.
- Multiple family members can be added to app access before our professionals leave.
- Manteca ZIP 95336 and 95337 households both get the same sunset-tracking schedule with no manual seasonal adjustment.
