Permanent Holiday Lighting

Permanent exterior lighting is a year-round LED lighting system installed along the roofline, soffit, and eaves, controlled from a smartphone app. One system replaces the annual hassle of climbing ladders, hanging holiday lights, and taking them down — and lets you run holiday colors in December, team colors during a game, and warm white accent lighting every other night of the year.

Permanent lighting from Excel Roofing typically costs $2,000 to $6,000 or more, depending on the linear footage of your roofline, the number of stories, and the complexity of the install (multiple sides, dormers, peaks). We offer a free on-site demo and written estimate, plus financing for FICO scores as low as 480.

Most permanent lighting installs are completed in 1 to 3 days. The work includes mounting the lighting track behind the gutters, running the wiring, setting up the controller, and configuring the smartphone app so you can run colors and schedules right away. Multi-story or larger homes take a bit longer.

Yes. The smartphone app lets you change colors, patterns, brightness, and schedules instantly. Pre-set themes cover every major holiday, sports teams, and birthdays, and you can build your own custom color combinations. Schedule the lights to turn on at sunset and off at bedtime — one professional install replaces the holiday-light routine forever.

Barely. The low-profile lighting track is installed behind the gutters and can be custom-painted to match your home. From street level, most homeowners and visitors don't notice it at all. The track sits flush against the roofline so the home's curb appeal is preserved during the day, and the LEDs come alive only when you turn them on at night.

Excel Roofing's permanent lighting comes with a 3-year workmanship warranty from Excel Roofing plus a 3-year manufacturer warranty on the LED system. If anything fails within either warranty period, we handle the service call. Because the system is professionally installed by a roofing contractor — not a general electrician — your roof warranty stays intact.

No, the track attaches without penetrating the roofing membrane, and Excel Roofing's installers are trained to preserve the integrity of your shingles, flashing, and gutters. Having the install done by a roofing company — rather than a general electrician — is what protects your roof warranty. We treat your roof during the lighting install with the same care we'd treat a new roof we just put on.
