On a typical 120–250 ft West Bloomfield front, permanent lights run about $2,600–$8,500 once, priced at $22–34 per lit foot. A lake-belt house has two fronts, the street and the water, and the lake wind tests anything loose on either.

Permanent lighting on a West Bloomfield lake-belt colonial: what we are working with.
West Bloomfield is a township where the back of the house is often a second front. On the lake frontages the water-side elevation is seen from across open water by every house on the far shore, and a lit roofline doubles itself in the reflection. With a permanent channel the two elevations are simply two zones on one controller: the water side can glow every evening while the street side keeps a schedule, and LightCast measures each from its own photo so both numbers are on the table before you commit to either.
Inland, the 1970s to 1990s colonials bring serious footage on their own: long two-story eaves and a three-car garage that carries the run wide. The winter here is the other argument. Wind off open water works every loose point on a clipped string until it sags or lets go, and a rigid channel fastened to the fascia has no loose points. Against the brick and stone fronts common on the lake belt the channel sits in the eave shadow by day; on lighter siding we match it to the trim.
Why West Bloomfield 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.
Both elevations, one controller
The water side and the street side are separate zones with separate schedules. Adding the second elevation later is a zone, not a second annual project.
Nothing for the wind to grab
A channel fastened to the fascia does not sag, twist or let go in a January gale. There are no clips, because there is nothing to clip.
Dock and irrigation respected
Dock wiring and irrigation heads are marked before a ladder goes up, and power is planned at the house.
Permanent track is an autumn install. Lakeside ladder work prefers calm days, so the lake-belt calendar fills in order and callers in the autumn window choose their date.
Seasonal Christmas lights in West Bloomfield: the lease option.
The C9 lease is the December-only alternative on either elevation: we own the commercial lights, hang them in November, repair anything the lake weather takes during the season, remove them in January and store them. Wreaths and garland are priced with the design.
$18–32 per foot with a $595 minimum, which on a typical 120–250 ft West Bloomfield roofline is $2,200–$8,000 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 West Bloomfield 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 West Bloomfield homeowners ask first.
Should we light the side that faces the lake?
On open water, usually before the street side. That elevation is seen from the houses on the far shore and it doubles itself in reflection. Measuring both sides up front at least prices the choice, and with a permanent channel the second elevation is a zone rather than another annual job.
Will permanent lighting survive the wind off the lake?
That is the point of it. The channel is fastened to the fascia and rated for Michigan winters, with no filaments to snap in the cold and no clips for the wind to work loose. If a diode or run does fail it is under warranty, and zoning means it is found without pulling anything down.
What does a West Bloomfield colonial cost to light permanently?
Street elevation alone, a colonial with a side-entry or three-car garage runs 150–250 ft, which at $22–34 per lit foot is about $3,300–$8,500 installed once. A two-story colonial at 120–180 ft runs around $2,600–$6,100. The street side of a lakefront home measures 150–250 ft, about $3,300–$8,500, and the lake side is measured on its own photo and priced on the same rule.
Can each side of the house run its own schedule?
Yes. Zones on the controller have their own schedules and colors, so the water side can run warm white until midnight while the street side switches off at ten, all set from your phone.
