Quick Answer

Depending on the complexity of the project, our team will quote a fair market rate. We charge by the project rather than linear footage for fair pricing. to find out your cost.

Understanding the investment

What affects the cost of permanent lighting?

We quote by the project because every roofline is different. See what is included and how we compare to understand the value behind the price.

Roofline length and complexity

A standard 150-200 linear foot bungalow costs $4,500-$6,500. Multi-level estate homes at 250-400+ feet range from $7,500-$12,000+. Peaks, valleys, and dormers add labour and material. See examples in our gallery.

24V premium architecture

We install 24V as standard because it runs brighter over longer distances with less voltage drop than 12V. 12V systems are cheaper upfront but require more frequent power injections and produce dimmer output. 24V still requires power injection on longer runs but fewer injection points than 12V.

Track colour matching (100+ colours)

The aluminium hat track is colour-matched to your soffits from over 100 options. Made in Calgary, precision-extruded, with 30mm clip-in openings for LED modules.

Number of zones

Each zone gets independent colour, pattern, and schedule control through the GOULY app. Multiple zones require additional control channels and wiring runs from the UL/cUL certified control box.

Access and height

Two-storey homes, steep pitches, and difficult soffits require specialized equipment. Our WCB-insured crew carries $3M liability coverage for every project regardless of complexity. to discuss your home.
