Measure Your Roofline From One Photo
LightCast™ finds your roofline, measures it in real feet, counts the peaks, and prices holiday or permanent lighting for your exact house — in about a minute, entirely in your browser. We built it because "someone will call you back with a quote" is a sentence that deserved to die.
Try It on Your House
Scan Your Roofline. See It Lit. Get a Real Number.
Upload one photo from the street. LightCast finds your roofline automatically, lights it up so you can flip through colors on your own house, and — once you tap a known reference like your garage door — measures the run in real linear feet and prices it from that measurement. It works for permanent lighting installation and seasonal displays alike, and the final number is confirmed on site before anything is ordered.
Didn't get your roofline right?
Switch to manual and tap along your own roofline — it takes about ten seconds.
Why a Power Washing Company Wrote Software
Every lighting quote in this industry starts the same way: someone drives to your house, points a tape measure at your gutters for ten minutes, and mails you a number three days later. We did it that way too, and it wasted everyone's time — ours on the road, yours waiting. The measurement is geometry. Geometry is automatable.
So we automated it. LightCast detects the roofline in your photo, anchors the scale to a known reference you tap once, converts the pixels to linear feet, and runs the same pricing math our crews use — $18–32 per foot for seasonal installation, permanent track priced beside it. What used to be an appointment is now a minute, and you hold the number before you've told anyone your name.
It works anywhere our trucks go: all 71 communities across Macomb and Oakland Counties, from Macomb Township to Birmingham. And if you'd rather talk it through the old way, (586) 284-3810 still answers — Mon–Sat, 8am–10pm.
How LightCast Works
How accurate is LightCast's roofline measurement?
Accurate enough to quote from — it converts pixels to feet using a known reference on your own house (a garage door is ideal, since standard widths make it a built-in ruler) and counts peaks the same way our crews do. The final figure is confirmed on site before anything is ordered, so the number you see is a real price, not bait.
Where does my photo go?
Nowhere. LightCast runs entirely in your browser — the roofline detection, the measurement, the pricing math all happen on your device, and the photo is never uploaded to us or anyone else. Close the tab and it's gone. We built it this way on purpose; a quote tool shouldn't cost you your privacy.
What kind of photo works best?
One straight-on shot of the front of the house from the street or sidewalk, in daylight, with the full roofline in frame and a garage door or front door visible as the size reference. Phone cameras are perfect. Heavy tree cover in front of the roofline is the one thing that genuinely confuses it — step to whichever angle shows the eaves.
Does it price permanent lighting or just seasonal Christmas lights?
Both, from the same measurement — seasonal C9 installation at $18–32 per linear foot and permanent LED track at its own per-foot rate, side by side, so you can compare the one-year cost against the installed-once option on your actual footage instead of a hypothetical.
