Short answer
Permanent house lights installation in Manteca fits a sealed LED channel to the eaves at $30 per linear foot. The system is controlled by phone, scheduled around sunset, and stays on the house permanently, replacing both seasonal decorations and most exterior accent fixtures.

What it costs: $30 per linear foot
House-wide coverage is priced foot by foot, so partial coverage is a legitimate starting point.
| Roofline scope | Linear feet | Installed price |
|---|---|---|
| Front of house onlyMost common first phase. | 115 ft | $3,450 |
| Front and driveway sideAdds the approach path. | 165 ft | $4,950 |
| Full house perimeterEvery eave lit. | 245 ft | $7,350 |
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.
A lit house is a safer house
An evenly lit facade removes the dark approach that a single porch fixture leaves behind.
Manteca neighborhoods are well kept but poorly lit between streetlights. A continuous eave line puts soft light across the driveway, the walkway and the garage face, which makes cameras usable at night and makes the property look occupied when nobody is home.
Exterior Prime measures the driveway, porch and garage separately during the estimate, and on a typical Manteca lot that adds up to 130 to 180 linear feet of coverage at $30 per linear foot. Homes in 95336 near the older grid streets often pair the eave line with a single accent fixture on the garage corner, while newer 95337 tracts usually skip the porch fixture entirely once the eave run is in place.
Set it and forget it
Sunset scheduling means the lights are already on before you pull into the driveway.
The controller tracks Manteca sunset through the year, so there is no seasonal timer adjustment. You pick an off hour, and after that the only reason to open the app is to change a color for a holiday or a birthday.
The transformer holds roughly 15 to 20 percent spare capacity, so adding a garage accent or a second zone later in Manteca does not require replacing the power supply. A typical Manteca household changes the schedule twice a year at most — once in November ahead of the shorter days and once in March when sunset moves back past 7pm — and otherwise leaves the system alone for months at a time.
Woodward Park homes and the driveway approach
Homes around Woodward Park with long driveways see the biggest security gain because a single porch fixture leaves 60 or more feet of approach unlit.
A typical Woodward Park lot runs a driveway of 40 to 70 feet before reaching the garage, and with only a porch light on, that whole stretch sits in shadow after dark. Adding a continuous eave run at $30 per linear foot lights the entire approach evenly, and the driveway zone can be dimmed separately from the front elevation so it stays low and warm instead of glaring into windows.
December is when this matters most, since Manteca sunset arrives before 5pm and most households are arriving home in the dark for nearly four months straight. A scheduled system already lit at 4:45pm removes the fumbling-for-keys walk that a motion-only porch fixture cannot solve, and it keeps working the same way in July when sunset shifts closer to 8:30pm.
Manteca installation realities
- Two-story tract homes usually need one lift day; single-story ranches do not.
- Older neighborhoods near Downtown Manteca have deeper eaves that hide channel especially well.
- Homes backing onto open ground toward Airport Way often add a rear zone for visibility.
