Standalone Exterior Prime visits in Mountain House start at $297.

    Mountain House tiers and what each one adds to the 253-foot sheet

    • Front plus California room

      291 linear feet lit at $30/ft

      $8,730

      The covered rear patio joins the same controller at the same rate, a common Bethany add near Mountain House Parkway.

    • Two-story face only

      242 linear feet lit at $30/ft

      $7,260

      Upper eave and roof peaks without the ground-floor porch, a common Bethany budget compromise.

    • Phase one, wired for more

      211 linear feet lit at $30/ft

      $6,330

      Supply and controller sized for the full perimeter, near Mountain House Parkway, so a later phase near Mountain House Parkway calls for no rework.

    • Entry court only

      44 linear feet lit at $30/ft

      $1,320

      Porch and entry trim board alone — the smallest scope worth fitting on a Bethany plan, and the $297 standalone minimum still applies in Bethany.

    The Mountain House laser reading, line by line near Mountain House Parkway — Mountain House, CA laser measurement rules

    Entry court corners CountedEvery corner is followed, which on Bethany, near Mountain House Parkway, and Questa plans adds twelve to twenty feet.
    California room cover CountedIncluded only if you ask, then billed at the same $30 as the house near Mountain House Parkway.
    Pergola or rear patio beams CountedTreated as lit trim board like any other, commonly twenty-five to forty-five feet behind a Mountain House in Bethany.
    Fenced side yard runs SkippedSkipped by baseline for the simple reason that nobody sees them, which keeps the 258-foot quantity honest.

    Where permanent architectural lighting for homes gets questioned in Mountain House, and the answer

    “"What if the manufacturer disappears?"”
    Channel and modules are baseline addressable hardware, not a closed ecosystem, and Exterior Prime keeps photographs, near Mountain House Parkway, and part records against your Mountain House address so a future swap never depends on one supplier.
    “"Is $7,620 negotiable?"”
    The rate is not, for the simple reason that it is published in Bethany. Scope is: dropping the side return or leaving the rear dark removes real footage, inside 95391, and real dollars from the sheet in front of you.
    “"I don't want another phone app on my phone."”
    Reasonable. Schedules live on the controller, so the phone app is optional after commissioning — the house lights itself on a Mountain House sunset programmed schedule whether or not anyone opens it in Bethany.
    “"My HOA or my spouse will veto the color."”
    Settle that before the laser reading in Bethany. Everyday output is soft white at low output level, color is a scene rather than a permanent state, and both are worth demonstrating before anyone signs a Bethany scope.
