Permanent Exterior Lighting, Done Carefully
We install permanent exterior lighting: LEDs seated in a narrow channel along the roofline and run from your phone for plain white light every night, holidays and game nights. Licensed and insured, and in business 5 years, we have fitted systems to older capes, colonials and newer builds alike. Every install is laid out around the lines of the house, where the power comes from and the plantings beneath the eaves.
Permanent Lighting
Low-profile LED track along your roofline, color-matched to the trim and controlled from your phone for everyday white light or holiday color.
Exterior Soft Wash
Low-pressure cleaning that clears green film, mildew and dark streaks from siding, trim and soffits while your plants and walkways stay protected.
Roof Treatments
A low-pressure treatment that kills moss, algae and lichen on your shingles and slows regrowth, applied with your plants and walkways covered.
Gutter Clearing
Hand-cleared gutters and flushed downspouts, with tarps over your beds and ladders kept off the gutter edge.
Window Care
Exterior glass, frames, sills and screens cleaned with purified water and soft tools, with your beds and walkways protected while we work.
Hardscape Care
Walkways, patios, steps and driveways cleaned at a pressure matched to the material, with your beds and lawn protected throughout.
A Local Lighting Company That Takes Its Time
We are a Mechanicville lighting contractor focused on permanent lighting for home exteriors. Our customers want their house to look finished after dark without climbing a ladder every November or untangling strands in the spring.
Upstate winters are hard on anything left on a roof edge, which is why we mount the channel under the eave where snow and ice slide past it. The lights stay put through freeze and thaw, and you change the look from your phone instead of from the top of a ladder.
What we hope people remember is how the job felt: a quiet crew, a clear plan, beds and lawn exactly as they were, and lights that simply work.

How an Installation Runs
Most homes are finished in a single visit. Here is what to expect from first call to first evening.
- 1
A free quote by phone
Tell us about your home, which sides you want lit, and how you hope to use the lights. We ask a few questions, look at your roofline, and give you a clear quote.
- 2
Planning the layout
We agree with you on the runs, the track color and the controller spot. You will know which outlet we use and where every light will sit.
- 3
Installation day
We arrive at the time agreed, lay mats under ladders, and protect plantings near the work. The track fastens to the fascia or under the drip edge, with wiring tucked neatly out of sight.

Testing and handover
We test every section at dusk light levels where we can, set up the app with you, and save your first schedules. Then we tidy the yard and walk it with you before we leave.
What Shapes the Price of Your Lighting
No two rooflines are the same, so we price each home after looking at it. The cost comes down to how much track you need, how hard it is to reach, and how the system is powered. Here is what we look at during your free quote.
Your quote is free and given by phone after we understand your home, then confirmed in writing with each part listed so you can see where the money goes.
- Linear feet of roofline
- The total length of eaves, rakes and peaks you want lit is the biggest single factor. Some homeowners light the front only; others wrap the whole house.
- Height and roof pitch
- A single-story ranch is quicker and simpler than a two-story colonial with steep gables. Taller or steeper sections take more setup time and more care.
- Corners, peaks and dormers
- Every turn in the roofline means a cut and a joined section of track. A busy roof with many dormers takes longer than a long, straight eave.
- Power and controller location
- If a suitable exterior outlet sits near where the system starts, the job is straightforward. When power has to come from farther away, it adds time and materials.
- Light and control options
- Spacing between lights and the type of controller you choose both affect the final figure. We explain the differences plainly so you pick what suits how you will use them.
What Homeowners Want to Know
- Can you see the lights in the daytime?
- Hardly. They sit in a narrow channel colored to match your trim and fastened to the fascia or beneath the eave. In daylight, most houses look unchanged from the road. After dark, the light shows and the hardware does not.
- How well does permanent lighting handle winter?
- Because the track is tucked beneath the roof edge, snow and ice slide past it instead of ripping it loose the way clip-on strings get pulled down. The LEDs are sealed for outdoor use and cope with cold nights. Nobody has to climb a ladder in December.
- Is it possible to light only the front?
- Yes. Lots of homeowners begin with the street side, where lighting does the most for curb appeal. We lay out the run to begin and end at natural breaks in the roofline, and other sides can be discussed later if you want to add them.
- How long is the install?
- Most houses are finished in a day. Bigger or taller homes with lots of peaks and dormers may run longer, and your quote includes the timeline we expect.
- Will I need an outlet added?
- Usually not. A power supply plugs into an outdoor outlet close to the start of the run. When no outlet is close enough, we lay out the choices during your quote before anything is settled.
- Can the colors change for holidays and special days?
- Yes. With app control you can keep warm white on most nights and switch to color for holidays, birthdays or a big game. Schedules switch the lights on at dusk and off whenever you like.
- Could the install harm my roof, gutters or plantings?
- The channel is fastened to the fascia or trim, never through the shingles, and nothing hangs from your gutters. Ladders stand on mats with standoffs, and we stay out of your beds. Before leaving, we look over the yard with you.
How We Treat Your Home
A lighting job happens on your roof edge, above your gardens and beside your front door. We work as if we will be invited back, because we hope to be.
Ladders that leave no marks
We set ladders on mats and use standoffs so nothing rests on your gutters or scuffs the siding. Feet stay out of flower beds, and we move planters ourselves and put them back where they were.
Track matched to your trim
The channel comes in colors chosen to sit against your fascia or soffit. From the street in daylight, most people never notice it is there.
You know what is happening
Before we start, we walk the roofline with you and agree on where every run begins and ends, where the controller goes, and which outlet powers it. If something changes on the day, we tell you before we act, not after.
A proper handover
Before we leave, we set up the app on your phone, show you how to build a schedule, and save a few scenes you will actually use. You should not need a manual to turn your lights on.
Clean when we go
Clips, cut ends, packaging and wire scraps leave with us. We check the lawn and beds below the work area on our way out.
