Permanent lighting in Oregon City
Oregon City has the oldest housing on the Portland side and some of the newest. The McLoughlin neighborhood above the falls is Victorians and craftsman homes with steep, ornate rooflines, and it sits in a conservation district where exterior changes can need review. Hilltop and Park Place are 1990s to 2010s subdivisions with 200 to 250 feet of roofline and HOAs. Out Beavercreek Road it's acreage with shops. We install permanent lighting across all of it at the same published price: track from $32 per foot, system included.
From $32 per foot, controller included. Free measure anywhere in Oregon City, usually within three days.
Homes and rooflines here
Historic homes have painted wood fascia and bargeboards where a channel needs a careful color match; we bring samples and, where a district review applies, a mounting description that notes there are no penetrations. Hilltop fascia is composite with aluminum drip edge, the standard channel install. Beavercreek shops are steel, which is Magnetic Pebble territory.
HOAs: varies by subdivision. The HOA guide and template letter.
What it costs here
Typical Oregon City homes we measure run 150 to 280 feet of lit roofline. That range in the two packages we recommend most here, controller included.
| Package | Rate | 150 ft | 280 ft | ≈ Monthly at 280 ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C9 Track | $32/ft | $4,800 | $8,960 | $771/mo |
| Magnetic Pebble | $35/ft | $5,250 | $9,800 | $844/mo |
Monthly is a 12-month, 5.9% APR example. Running cost on Portland General Electric at 20.00¢/kWh: about $2.42 a month for 280 pebbles at four hours a night.
Historic district and reversible mounting
In the McLoughlin Conservation District, exterior alterations are reviewed on locally designated homes, and the city's guidance doesn't mention lighting either way, so a call to Oregon City Planning settles it before we install. Our track mounts with 3M VHB tape and brackets, with no screws through siding or trim, and it is removable; we put that in writing for the application. On a Victorian, the gable bargeboards are usually the right line to follow, and the porch eave below carries a second run.
Two packages that fit
C9 Track
Classic C9 bulbs in a color-matched channel. Permanent, wire hidden, looks like Christmas lights should.
Magnetic Pebble
Deep pebbles that stick to a steel drip edge. No track, no covers, no tape.
