Permanent lighting on a Sterling Heights ranch: what we are working with.
Sterling Heights is mile after mile of brick ranches and split-levels from the 1960s and 1970s and colonials from the decades after, on streets where a lit roofline is a point of pride. The housing repeats in the best way, with predictable eave heights, a front gable or two, an attached garage, clean sight lines from the street. That keeps a permanent install simple and the footage friendly. A ranch is one level run and a garage return; a colonial adds the second-story eave and a peak; a split-level breaks once and gets zoned at the step.
The local hazard is the gutter. Strings tensioned over an aging aluminum gutter lip saw at the metal all winter and turn a small saving into a spring repair. The channel mounts to the fascia and drip edge, not the gutter, so the original gutters on these streets never meet a clip or a staple. By day the channel reads as trim on the light siding common here and sits in the eave shadow on brick; at night the schedule runs the house from your phone.
Why Sterling Heights 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.
Friendly footage, friendly math
A ranch at 60 to 80 feet of front roofline is a modest permanent install, paid once. The number the next-door neighbor pays every November is the number you stop paying.
Gutters left alone
The channel lives on the fascia. Nothing is tensioned over an aging gutter lip all winter, and there is nothing to unhook in January.
Ranch, split-level or colonial
Each has a standard channel layout: one run and a garage return, a stepped pair of zones, or an upper eave with a peak. Our crews also wash siding and clean roofs and gutters in Macomb and Oakland all year.
Permanent track is an autumn install in Sterling Heights. Callers in the autumn window choose their date; the calendar fills in order after that.
Seasonal Christmas lights in Sterling Heights: the lease option.
If you want the classic C9 look for December and nothing on the house the other months, lease it: we own the commercial lights, cut the run to your roofline, hang it in November, repair what fails in season, take it down in January and store it. Wreaths and garland can be added to the design.
$18–32 per foot with a $595 minimum, which on a typical 60–180 ft Sterling Heights 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 in our Christmas light installation guide for Sterling Heights on 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 Sterling Heights homeowners ask first.
What do permanent Christmas lights cost in Sterling Heights?
A ranch at 60–80 ft of front roofline is roughly $1,300–$2,700 at $22–34 per lit foot, installed once. A smaller two-story at 100–150 ft is about $2,200–$5,100 and a two-story colonial at 120–180 ft about $2,600–$6,100. Nothing is owed the following year.
Do the lights have to be on every night?
No. The channel runs on a schedule you set from your phone: dusk to whatever hour you choose, warm white on ordinary evenings, color for the nights that call for it, or off entirely. Change it from the couch.
Will it damage our original gutters?
No, because the gutters are not involved. The channel fastens to the fascia and drip edge above them, so nothing rests on the lip, nothing is clipped to it and nothing is tensioned across it through the winter.
How does a split-level get lit cleanly?
The channel is cut to break at the step and the lower and upper runs become two zones on one controller. Each reads as a straight line instead of one string drooping across the height change, and each can keep its own schedule.
