Permanent lighting on a Washington Township acreage home: what we are working with.
Washington Township lighting works with distance. Houses sit far back behind long approaches with rural dark on every side, so the roofline has no competition for the eye and the design starts from the road: what a passing car sees, what the drive reveals, what greets arrival at the porch. A permanent channel makes that a nightly fact. The roofline comes on at dusk, warm white on an ordinary Tuesday, color when you choose, visible from the road all winter without anyone scheduling a thing.
The newer estates in the north of the township have long clean eaves, a wing or two and a garage set to one side, which zones neatly: main house, wing, garage, one controller. The orchard-era farmhouses are a different conversation. We inspect the trim before quoting, the way any century structure deserves, and if the fascia should not carry a fastener we say so and offer the seasonal lease. Against fieldstone and painted wood the channel sits in the eave shadow by day; the long approach does the rest of the hiding.
Why Washington 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.
Read from the road, every night
Rural dark leaves a lit roofline with nothing to compete against. A seasonal display does that for a month; a permanent channel does it all winter.
Designed from the road inward
What a passing car sees at distance, then what the drive reveals, then what greets arrival. Zones let each part keep its own schedule.
Farmhouse trim, inspected first
Orchard-era wood gets a plain answer on whether it can take a fastener before anything is quoted. Where it cannot, the lease is the honest option.
Permanent installs on acreage are scheduled in the autumn, before the open-country wind settles in. Callers in the autumn window choose their date.
Seasonal Christmas lights in Washington Township: the lease option.
A C9 lease is the December-only option and the right one on some farmhouse trim: we own the commercial lights, design to the elevation, hang in November, repair in season, remove in January and store. Wreaths and garland at the entrance are priced with the design.
$18–32 per foot with a $595 minimum, which on a typical 120–400 ft Washington Township roofline is $2,200–$12,800 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 Washington Township 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 Washington Township homeowners ask first.
How does a house at the end of a long drive get lit?
The roofline is the destination and a permanent channel makes it a nightly one. On a long approach we design from the road inward and tell you plainly what reads at distance. Wreaths and garland at the entrance can be added to the estimate with the design.
Can a permanent channel go on an older farmhouse?
We inspect the fascia first. Where original trim can take a fastener without harm, yes. Where it should be left alone, a leased C9 display with clip attachment suits it better, and we will tell you that.
What does permanent lighting cost on an acreage home?
$22–34 per lit foot, once. A colonial with a side-entry or three-car garage at 150–250 ft comes to about $3,300–$8,500. A two-story colonial at 120–180 ft is roughly $2,600–$6,100 and a large two-story with wings at 250–400 ft about $5,500–$13,600. LightCast measures the roofline from a photo; anything beyond the roofline is quoted from a walkthrough or your description.
How far does the schedule and control reach on a big property?
The controller sits at the house and runs every zone on the elevation; your phone talks to it from anywhere. Wings, the garage and the main roof can each keep their own schedule, so the part that faces the road can stay on later than the rest.
