Permanent Exterior Lighting
Permanent exterior lighting for Charlotte homes
Professionally installed LED lighting that follows your roofline. Warm architectural light most nights, holiday colors in December, game-day colors in the fall — and nearly invisible during the day.
- Discreet by day
- Custom color scenes
- Installed to the roofline
- Free consultation

Why homeowners install it
The end of the ladder-and-staple routine
Permanent lighting replaces the seasonal scramble with a system that's already up there and ready whenever you want it.
No more hanging lights
No ladders in December, no tangled strands, no dead bulbs halfway through the run, no January takedown.
Nothing to look at by day
The track follows the roofline and trim so it reads as part of the architecture rather than as decoration.
Architectural light year-round
Warm white along the eaves gives the house presence at night, not just during the holidays.
Holidays and game days
Set the colors for Christmas, Halloween, the Fourth, a birthday, or your team on a Saturday in the fall.
Dark, flat elevations
Homes with deep setbacks or large front elevations disappear after sunset. Roofline lighting brings the shape back.
Temporary lighting costs add up
Strands, storage, and yearly install-and-remove costs keep repeating. A permanent system stops that cycle.

What you get out of it

- One company handling the roofline lighting and the exterior cleaning that keeps it looking sharp.
Questions
Frequently asked
- Is it visible during the day?
- It's designed to be discreet. The track runs tight along the roofline and trim, and we match it to your fascia color where the material allows.
- Can I use it for more than the holidays?
- Yes — that's the point. Most homeowners run a warm-white architectural setting most nights and switch to colors for holidays, game days, and events.
- How do I control the lights?
- Through the app that comes with the system we install, where that system supports it. We'll walk you through it before we leave.
- How long does installation take?
- It depends on the size and complexity of the roofline. We'll give you a schedule with your layout and price.
- Do you also clean the exterior?
- Yes. House washing, windows, roof, gutters, concrete, and pavers all go through the same company, which is easier to coordinate around a lighting install.
