Professional Christmas light installation cost: the terms on a Salida priced scope, in plain English

Linear foot: One foot of fascia along the fascia line — the only unit we bill, which is why 135 feet is the whole story.
Channel: Powder-coated aluminum track screwed to the fascia; it holds the modules, in Kiernan, and hides them by daylight.
Module: A single sealed RGB plus warm-white unit, spaced four inches apart along your 137-foot channel run.
IP67: A sealing rating meaning the part tolerates immersion — the level Salida's winter tule fog effectively demands.
Transformer: The low-voltage supply, mounted inside the garage bay rather than exposed on an exterior Kiernan wall.
Controller: The small brain that stores your scenes, in Kiernan, and schedules and answers the phone mobile app from anywhere.

When professional Christmas light installation cost is not the right buy for a Salida house

Buyers who only want the cheapest possible figure will find holiday hanging cheaper up street-facing front; this is a fixed-asset purchase instead.
Upper runs with no safe ladder work footing may need lift time, quoted separately, and that is better known before the 136-foot scope is signed.
Selling within the year: the payback window on a 137-foot system is longer than your ownership window, and a holiday hang is the cheaper answer.
Rentals where nobody will open the mobile app usually end up parked on one static scene, and a simpler product does that for less money.

1Note gate width, RV pads, in Kiernan, and low branches along the Kiernan elevation that would slow ladder work the work.
2Ask whether you want a wash the same appointment; the trip is, in Kiernan, then shared in the band of two services instead of billed twice.
3Check whether the roof or gutters are due for replacement, because that the work should come before 137 feet of channel.
4Look at the fascia color and decide whether you want channel matched to it or to the trim on the Kiernan elevation.
5Think about who will channel run the mobile app, because that person should be house for commissioning near Sisk Road.

Professional Christmas Light Installation in Salida — questions homeowners ask

That is a common way to start in Kiernan. The transformer and controller are sized with headroom, so a rear or side channel run added later joins the same system at the same $30 per lit foot with no rework. Anything outside the written scope is quoted separately before it is done in Kiernan. Brightness, color and timing are all adjustable afterwards without a return appointment.

Copy link to this answer: Can I light only the street-facing front now and add more later in Kiernan?

It should not. Channel mounts on the fascia face or under the eave, clear of gutter hangers, in Kiernan, and the drip edge, so water leaves a Kiernan roof exactly as it did before installation. Anything outside the written scope is quoted separately before it is done near Sisk Road. Brightness, color and timing are all adjustable afterwards without a return appointment.

Copy link to this answer: Will professional Christmas light installation cost interfere with gutters or roof drainage?

Often more than on a two-story, because a single-story elevation lights cleanly from one plane and the footage is lower — meaning the $4,110 band buys the entire street-facing face rather than part of it. Anything outside the written scope is quoted separately before it is done on a 135-foot Salida roofline. Brightness, color and timing are all adjustable afterwards without a return appointment.

Copy link to this answer: Is professional Christmas light installation cost worth it on a single-story Salida house?

Houses inside 95368 generally measure in the band of 90 and 200 lit feet. A single-story near Sisk Road often stops close to 100, while a Kiernan two-story frontage reaches 138 feet once roof peaks and garage bay returns are counted in. Anything outside the written scope is quoted separately before it is done on Kiernan plans inside 95368. Brightness, color and timing are all adjustable afterwards without a return appointment.

Copy link to this answer: How many feet of fascia line does a Kiernan house usually light?

Nearly always a single day. That single day includes mounting channel, seating modules, setting the transformer, in Kiernan, and controller in the garage bay, and commissioning scenes with you standing there. A few two-story faces channel run into a second morning in Kiernan. Anything outside the written scope is quoted separately before it is done — measured that way near Sisk Road. Brightness, color and timing are all adjustable afterwards without a return appointment.

Copy link to this answer: How long does a 139-foot installation take on a Kiernan house?

Yes. Salida shares a route with Modesto, Manteca, Ripon and Escalon, so a on-site measure near Sisk Road usually schedules the same week as neighbouring the work, and travel never appears as its own invoice line. Anything outside the written scope is quoted separately before it is done on the 135-foot example priced above. Brightness, color and timing are all adjustable afterwards without a return appointment.
