Color Matched Track: The Daytime Half Of The Job
Every permanent lighting system looks good at night. The thing that separates a clean install from an obvious one is what the hardware looks like at noon, and that comes down to the channel and how it is mounted.

What The Track Actually Is
It is an aluminum channel that holds the fixtures and protects them from weather. It runs along the fascia, the gables, and the peaks, and it is fastened flush rather than hung off the edge.
We color match the channel to your trim or fascia. Multiple track colors are available, so it is matched to the house rather than defaulting to white on every job.
Why Flush Mounting Matters
A channel that sits proud of the fascia casts its own shadow line and catches the eye. Mounted flush and matched in color, it reads as part of the trim from the ground.
It also keeps water off the fixtures and keeps the run straight over a long eave, which is where sloppy installs show themselves first.
Track Versus Trackless
Track mounted is the flagship. Cleanest daytime look, and it carries the lifetime parts warranty. Starting around $2,500, roughly $29+ per linear foot.
Trackless InvisiClips puts the same commercial grade fixtures on the house without the channel, starting around $2,000 at roughly $20 per foot, with 3 years on parts and 3 years on labor. It is the budget friendly route into the same lights.
What To Ask Any Installer
Ask whether the channel is color matched to your trim and which colors they stock. Ask how it is fastened, and ask to see a daylight photo of a finished install, not only a night shot.
Night photos hide everything. Daylight photos are where you find out how the job was done.

Common Questions
Is the track only available in white?
No. We stock multiple colors and match the channel to your trim or fascia so it blends in daylight.
Will the track damage my fascia?
It is fastened along the fascia the way trim hardware is. If your fascia has rot or damage we will tell you before install day rather than mounting into it.
Can I skip the track and save money?
Yes, that is what trackless InvisiClips is for. Same commercial grade fixtures, no channel, starting around $2,000. The tradeoff is the daytime look and the warranty length.
Does the track hold snow and ice?
It is aluminum and weather rated, and it is one of the reasons we prefer channel on Capital Region rooflines.
How visible is it from the street?
Matched in color and mounted flush, most people read it as a trim line. Ask any installer for a daylight photo of a completed job to judge for yourself.
What warranty covers the track install?
A lifetime parts warranty plus a 3 year labor warranty on the installation. A labor warranty covers the installation work we performed. If a mount, a run, a connection, or a channel we installed fails, we come back out and make it right at no charge for the length of that warranty.
