Permanent lighting on a Chesterfield Township subdivision two-story: what we are working with.
North of 23 Mile, the neighborhoods off Sugarbush and Cotton Road hold two-stories and ranches, brick-front or vinyl. A typical two-story shows a long eave at second-story height and a gable or two out front. For a channel that is a short, predictable layout, usually one zone with a handful of cuts, and the spot for the power supply is chosen at the house. The wrinkle is the lake air. Humidity off the bay lets white siding go green on its shaded walls sooner than it would inland. If the north wall has greened, it is easier to wash it before the channel goes up than to work around it after; our crews wash siding across Macomb County all year.
Closer to the water the job changes shape. The shore and canal lots off Jefferson Ave are narrow, and the houses on them are mostly single-story ranches and cottages, so the street-side run is short and within easy reach. On a canal lot the back of the house faces the water. We price the street elevation from one photo and the water side from a second, and the two run as separate zones off one controller. When wind crosses the open bay it pulls at every clip on a strung display, while a rigid channel fastened under the drip edge gives it no loose end to lift.
Why Chesterfield Township homeowners go permanent.
Commercial RGBW LEDs in a low-profile aluminum channel on the fascia, never through a shingle. Phone control, schedules, zones, rated for Michigan winters, with a warranty on the track and the diodes.
Gutters kept clear of hardware
Older trees on the streets toward the bay load the gutters every fall. With the channel on the fascia, nothing is clipped to the gutter lip, so the leaves come out without anyone working around a string.
The canal side as a second zone
A house seen from the water can light that elevation on its own schedule. It is one more zone on the controller you already own, not a second display to hang and store.
Zoned, so a dead run is easy to find
If a run fails, the zone points to it and the rest stays lit, with track and diodes under warranty.
Permanent track goes up in a single autumn visit, and canal-side ladder work waits for a calm day off the bay. Bookings are taken in the order calls arrive, which gives early callers the widest pick of dates.
Seasonal Christmas lights in Chesterfield Township: the lease option.
Prefer a December-only display? The seasonal option is a lease on our commercial C9 lights. We design the display, cut every run to your eave, clip it up in November without a staple or nail in the shingles or gutters, handle any outage while it is up, and pull it down in January to store until next year. Wreaths and garland are priced into the design.
$18–32 per foot with a $595 minimum, which on a typical 60–180 ft Chesterfield Township roofline is $1,100–$5,800 a year. At these prices a permanent channel costs about what one season of leasing costs, and from the second December on it is paid for. If you want the December-only look, or you may move within a year, the lease is the right call and we will say so.
The seasonal service is described in full on the Christmas light installation page at macombpowerwashing.com.

Garage doors give the most accurate number; a 3 ft door or window is a smaller ruler, so the range is looser.

Things Chesterfield Township homeowners ask first.
How much is permanent lighting on a Chesterfield subdivision two-story?
A two-story colonial in the subdivisions north of 23 Mile usually measures 120–180 ft across the front, and at $22–34 per lit foot that 120–180 ft comes to roughly $2,600–$6,100, paid once. For a smaller two-story at 100–150 ft, expect something close to $2,200–$5,100. Add one photo to LightCast and it replaces the typical range with your own footage and peak count.
We live on a canal. Should the water side be lit too?
It is worth pricing both before you decide. Most canal lots hold a single-story ranch or cottage, and the street elevation of a ranch typically runs 60–80 ft, about $1,300–$2,700. The side facing the water is measured from its own photo on the same per-foot rule. Wired as a separate zone, it can run warm white late while the street side shuts off earlier.
Our siding greens up from the lake air. Does that affect the install?
Not the lighting itself. We match the channel color to the trim rather than the siding. Washing is optional, but if a shaded wall has gone green, the tidiest order is wash first and mount second. Our crews wash siding across Macomb County all year and can say whether yours needs it.
Will the wind off Anchor Bay loosen the lights?
A permanent run has no clips or loose string for the wind to work on. The channel is mounted on the fascia, or up under the drip edge where the trim calls for it, and the fixture carries a Michigan-winter rating with no filament inside to crack when the temperature drops. If a section ever fails, zoning isolates it, and track and diodes are under warranty.
How does leasing compare on a typical Chesterfield front?
A C9 lease on a two-story colonial at 120–180 ft runs about $2,200–$5,800 each season, at $18–32 per foot with a $595 minimum. The permanent channel on the same 120–180 ft front is about $2,600–$6,100 one time. If you plan to stay past next winter, the permanent figure usually wins; if a move is close, we will recommend the lease.

Permanent Christmas lights in cold Michigan winters
Detroit averages 45 inches of snow a season, and January highs sit right at freezing. Here is what that does at the roof edge, where permanent lights live, and a short check for after each storm. Michigan homesCan permanent lights be installed on gutters?
The gutter is a moving, pitched, ice-filled trough. The board behind it is what holds a permanent channel, and whether it can depends on what that board is made of and how sound it is. Michigan homesRoofline lights on a ranch house
