Brampton is one of the easier cities in the GTA to quote accurately, because so much of it was built to a handful of plans. If your neighbour three doors down has the same elevation, your number will be close to theirs. What varies is what you do about the garage.
Garage-forward homes need a decision
A large share of Brampton housing puts the garage at the front, projecting toward the street, with the main living space set back behind it. That changes the lighting job.
On this kind of elevation, the garage roofline is the piece the street actually sees. Lighting only the upper roof leaves the most visible surface dark and the effect looks half finished. The homes that land properly here run the track across both the garage and the upper roofline, so the two planes read as one.
It adds footage and therefore cost. It is also the difference between a house that looks lit and a house that looks like the lights ran out.
Semi-detached: know where your wall ends
Brampton has a lot of semis, and the roofline runs continuously across both halves. The track stops at your property line, which means the finished run ends mid-elevation unless your neighbour does the same.
Two practical routes. Talk to your neighbour and do both halves together, which usually earns a better price per foot and looks considerably better. Or accept the stop line and have the run terminate at a gable edge or a downpipe, where the eye reads it as deliberate rather than truncated. Say which you want at quote stage.
What it costs
Published Canadian figures put permanent lighting at $3,000 to $6,000 for a front elevation. Brampton's detached subdivision stock typically falls in the lower-middle of that band, with semis and towns lower again because there is simply less frontage. Those are industry ranges, not a Luminair quote; the GTA cost breakdown shows the workings.
Against that, seasonal installation across Peel runs roughly $700 to $1,500 every year, and the crews are booked out by mid-October. The payback calculator will run your own numbers.
More than one festival
Sold as a Christmas product, permanent lighting misses most of what it is good for in Brampton. The same fixtures run Diwali in the autumn, Christmas in December, and warm white architectural lighting on every ordinary night between. Scenes switch from the app in seconds.

Common questions
Should I light the garage roofline as well?
On Brampton's garage-forward elevations, yes. The projecting garage roof is the plane the street sees most, and lighting only the upper roofline leaves it dark so the house looks half finished. Running both makes the elevation read as one.
Can I install permanent lights on a semi-detached home?
Yes, but the track stops at your property line, so the run ends mid-elevation unless your neighbour does theirs too. Doing both halves together usually earns a better rate per foot and looks far better; otherwise terminate the run at a gable edge or downpipe so it reads as deliberate.
How much does it cost in Brampton?
Published figures put a front elevation at $3,000 to $6,000 across Canada. Brampton's detached subdivision homes typically sit in the lower-middle of that band, with semis and townhouses lower again because there is less frontage to cover.
