Permanent lighting in Clackamas
Unincorporated Clackamas between Happy Valley and the river is 1970s to 2000s subdivisions: ranches, split-levels and two-stories on regular lots, with fewer HOAs than the newer hillside developments next door. Rooflines run 140 to 240 feet, fascia is painted wood or composite, and drip edge is a mix, which means a reroofed 1970s ranch sometimes has a steel drip edge that takes magnets. Track packages from $32 per foot, system included; C9 Classic from $12 per foot for the single-story homes that want the look without the channel.
From $32 per foot, controller included. Free measure anywhere in Clackamas, usually within three days.
What it costs here
Typical Clackamas homes we measure run 140 to 240 feet of lit roofline. That range in the two packages we recommend most here, controller included.
| Package | Rate | 140 ft | 240 ft | ≈ Monthly at 240 ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Magnetic Pebble | $35/ft | $4,900 | $8,400 | $723/mo |
| C9 Classic | $12/ft + $495 | $2,175 | $3,375 | $291/mo |
Monthly is a 12-month, 5.9% APR example. Running cost on Portland General Electric at 20.00¢/kWh: about $2.07 a month for 240 pebbles at four hours a night.
Homes and rooflines here
Split-levels here light nicely as two rooflines. Older asphalt reroofs often used galvanized steel drip edge, so the magnet test at the measure matters more in Clackamas than in the new subdivisions up the hill. Newer homes toward Sunnyside have composite fascia and aluminum drip edge.
HOAs: varies by subdivision. The HOA guide and template letter.

The magnet test
We carry a magnet to every measure. If it snaps to your drip edge, Magnetic Pebble at $35 per foot goes on with no channel, no tape and no penetrations, and the install takes half the time. In older neighborhoods with reroofs it holds far more often than in new subdivisions, where aluminum drip edge is standard.
