Kansas City questions
Permanent lighting in Kansas City, answered
How much does permanent lighting cost in Kansas City?
About $24 to $35 per linear foot installed, the same as the rest of the Kansas City metro. A front-of-home install of 150 to 200 feet runs about $3,600 to $7,000, front and sides about $6,000 to $12,250, and a full-home wrap about $9,600 to $17,500. Payment is due when the install is complete; larger jobs may need a 50% deposit.
Can permanent lights go on a historic Kansas City home?
Usually, yes. The track is small and color matched, and it mounts to the roofline trim. If your home is in a locally designated historic district, ask the city's historic preservation office whether exterior lighting needs review.
Can I get a classic multicolor look like the Plaza lights?
Yes. You can build a multicolor pattern in the Lumina app and schedule it to come on from Thanksgiving through New Year’s, then switch back to warm white on its own.
