    • Entry court only

      44 linear feet lit at $30/ft

      $1,320

      205 linear feet lit at $30/ft

      $6,150

      Adds every gable and dormer above the eave line — the scope behind the $6,150 example on this page.

    • Front, roof peaks and visible side

      232 linear feet lit at $30/ft

      $6,960

      Carries the lit run around the visible side, which pays off on Mountain House corner lots facing two streets in Wicklund.

    Pergola or rear patio beams CountedTreated as lit trim board like any other, commonly twenty-five to forty-five feet behind a Mountain House.
    Fenced side yard runs SkippedSkipped by baseline for the simple reason that nobody sees them, which keeps the 206-foot quantity honest.
    Rear elevation SkippedLeft off unless requested; it is the largest single block of footage on the majority of Wicklund homes in Wicklund.
    Roof height and pitch SkippedNoted for access planning, inside 95391, but never priced, for the simple reason that ladder lands inside the per-foot rate.

    Where best permanent Christmas lights for a house gets questioned in Mountain House, and the answer

    “"Is $6,090 negotiable?"”
    The rate is not, for the simple reason that it is published in Wicklund. Scope is: dropping the side return or leaving the rear dark removes real footage, on a $6,090 job, and real dollars from the sheet in front of you.
    “"I don't want another mobile app on my phone."”
    Reasonable. Schedules live on the controller, so the mobile app is optional after commissioning — the house lights itself on a Mountain House sunset programmed schedule whether or not anyone opens it in Wicklund.
    “"My HOA or my spouse will veto the color."”
    Settle that before the measurement. Everyday output is warm white at low brightness, color is a saved scene rather than a permanent state, and both are worth demonstrating before anyone signs a Wicklund scope.
    “"We may sell within a couple of years."”
    Say so at the measurement. The value lands in the listing rather than in your own use, and a shorter scope near Wicklund Park is usually the sensible version of this purchase.

    1. January – February

      Fog season: the majority of owners drop brightness, inside 95391, and leave warm white running, which is when a fixed lit run looks least like decoration.

    3. June – July

    4. Any month

      Adding footage near Wicklund Park later joins the existing controller at the same $30, with no rework of the original lit run.

    5. August – September

      Best window to measure in Mountain House: construction dust eases and a 207-foot install site visit still books comfortably ahead of the holidays.
