Permanent Outdoor Lighting

  • A low-profile LED track mounted along your roofline and accent areas. It stays on the house year round and tucks into the trim, so it reads as part of the house during the day. At night you turn it on to whatever color and pattern you want.

  • The track is color matched to your trim and sits flush against the fascia, so from the street it reads as part of the roofline rather than a light strip.

  • From an app on your phone. Pick a color, pick a pattern, set a schedule, and the system runs on its own from there.

  • Yes. Set them for sunset to sunrise, a window each evening, or specific nights. You can also save presets so a holiday look is one tap away.

  • Yes. The lights are individually addressable, so you can split the roofline into segments for alternating colors, patterns, and effects.

  • Yes. Run them low for a subtle warm glow on a normal night, or full brightness when you want the house to stand out.

  • Yes. That is the point. One install, no ladders every December, no takedown, and no storage bins.

  • Yes. Every install uses UL listed lights.

  • The aluminum track is color matched to your trim and fastened flush, so it sits clean on your roofline instead of hanging off it.

  • Permanent Track Lighting carries a lifetime parts warranty plus a 3 year labor warranty. SmartClip LED Lighting carries 5 years on parts and 3 years on labor.

  • Yes. The fixtures are IP68 rated, dustproof and water resistant, and built to stay on the house through snow, ice, and summer heat. Permanent lighting is designed for outdoor use year round.

  • The LEDs are rated for 50,000 hours. Run them every evening and you are looking at decades before the diodes wear out.

  • Each light puts out about 110 lumens on a fraction of a watt, so a full roofline is bright without running up your electric bill. You also get a full color temperature range from warm 2800K candlelight white up to crisp 7000K daylight white.

  • Yes. You can program the lights to move with music, which is a favorite for parties and game day.

  • Yes. Build your own scenes in the app, save them, and bring any of them back with one tap. Your Christmas look, game day look, and everyday warm white can all live as saved presets.

  • Yes. Red and green in December, orange for Halloween, red white and blue in July, team colors on game day, or a color for a birthday. One install covers all of it.

Christmas Light Installation

  • The full season. We design the display, install it, support it while it is up, take it down after the holidays, and store the lights until next year.

  • As early as you can. Installs are scheduled in the order they are booked and the fall calendar fills up.

  • Rooflines and gutters, peaks and ridges, trees and shrubs, walkways, porch columns, railings, and wreaths.

  • Call or text us and we come back out to get it lit again while the display is up.

  • No. The lights leave with us after takedown and come back ready to hang next season.

  • If you plan to put lights up every December, permanent track lighting is installed once, covers Christmas plus every other holiday, and never comes down. We install both, so ask for both numbers.
