Permanent & holiday lighting
Before you spend a dollar. We fit a run of LEDs along your roofline once, and after that it is warm white on an ordinary Tuesday, Christmas colors in December, and full white when you want the front of the house lit. Play with the house on the right, then do it on yours.
A run of LEDs fitted along your roofline once. Warm white most nights, Christmas colors in December, all from your phone.

See it on your house
One photo of the front of your house. We light the roofline and send it back two ways: how it looks in the daytime, and how it looks at night. It takes about a minute and there is nothing to fill in.
Lighting your roofline
About a minute. Both pictures come back together, so leave this open.
These two pictures are your own photograph with the lights generated onto it by an AI model. We measured how far it moves a building while doing that: on a test house, nothing shifted by even one pixel. It is still a preview and not a photograph of finished work, your roofline gets measured on site before any price, and your photo is only sent to us if you choose to attach it to a request.
Two different things
The one we are pushing
Installed once. Lit every night of the year.
A run of LEDs fitted along your roofline and left there. Warm white on an ordinary Tuesday, full color for a holiday, all of it from an app on your phone. The ladder never comes out again.
Still the seasonal favorite
We put it up, we look after it, we take it down, we store it.
The seasonal display, handled end to end. Professional-grade strands cut to your roofline in November, kept lit through the season, down in January, and labelled in storage until next year.

Which one is for you
We do both and we would rather sell you the right one once. Here they are against each other.
Why people switch
Every year the same routine. The ladder comes out on the one dry Saturday November hands you, with the wind coming off the lake. The strands spend ten months in a tote and a few of them quit in the meantime. Then in January, in the coldest stretch of it, the ladder comes back out to take it all down.
And for the other ten months the house sits dark. That is the part most people do not think about until they have seen the alternative.
What changes
No ladder, ever again
We install it once. Nothing to hang, nothing to take down, nothing to store.
Every holiday, not just one
Christmas, the Fourth, Halloween, your team's colors on a Friday night. Two taps.
Light on the house year-round
Warm white reads as architectural lighting. Most of the year nobody would call it a decoration.
More than a holiday display
RGB and RGBW LEDs, addressed one bulb at a time. So a pattern can travel along the roofline instead of the whole run changing at once.
Hold every bulb at full white and the system stops being decorative. Somebody pulls in the driveway at two in the morning and the front of the house is lit.
The roofline is where most people start. The beds, the path, the trees and the drive are the half that makes a house look finished after dark.
Colors, patterns and brightness from the Pixel Dancer app. Set it once for the season or change it for a Saturday.

One system, three jobs
The other ten months
Soft warm white along the roofline on an ordinary night in June. It reads as architectural lighting, and most of the year nobody would call it a decoration.
Every bulb, full white
Somebody pulls into the driveway at two in the morning and the whole front of the house comes up. Same run, one tap, no separate fixture to install.
Every one of them, not just December
Red and green for Christmas, orange and purple for Halloween, red white and blue for the Fourth, your team's colors on a Friday night. And it changes back the next morning.
The pictures are generated photographs, not photos of our work. Real job photos replace them as they come in.
Unlimited colors
Same run of lights, same house, different night. Warm white is the one most people leave on. Nineteen scenes come standard in the app, and they are only a starting point. Change any of them or build your own, up to 1,000 saved presets.
The question everyone asks first
We are not going to put a number on this page, and it is worth saying why rather than leaving you to guess. Permanent lighting is priced off your actual roofline. Two houses on the same street can be thousands apart, so any figure printed here would be wrong for almost everybody reading it, and we would only have to take it back standing in your driveway.
What we can tell you is exactly what moves the number.
The single biggest factor. A single-story ranch frontage and a two-story with dormers, a wraparound porch and a detached garage are not the same job, and they are not close.
A roof we can work from a ladder costs less than one that needs staging or a lift. We work that out standing in your driveway, not from a photo.
Track, clips or magnetic strings, and the brightness the building needs. A storefront that has to read from across a parking lot takes different hardware than a porch.
Landscape lighting is priced separately, and it is meaningfully cheaper to do in the same visit than to come back for a year later.
How you get a real number
The hardware
There is a wide gap in this category between a commercial system and a strand of lights sold as one. Here is what we put on a roof and why, and every claim below is one the manufacturer makes in writing.
Who we install for
Rooflines, gables, dormers, porches and the landscape below them. One install on the house you already own.

Lighting is the newest thing we do, and it is on the same terms as everything else: we turn up when we said, we are insured, and the job is not finished until it passes inspection.

Questions we actually get
A track of individually controlled LEDs fitted along your roofline and left there year-round. You run it from an app: soft warm white most nights, full color for a holiday, every bulb to white if you want the frontage lit. No ladder in November and no take-down in January.
It depends on how much roofline you want lit, and there is no honest way to answer it from a desk. We come out, measure the runs, and give you a written price. A small single-story frontage and a large house with dormers and a wraparound porch are not close to the same job.
You have to look for it. The channel is UV-coated PVC in white, black, brown, gray or sand, all five in stock, and we match it to your trim so it reads as part of the roofline. At night you see the light, not the track.
The strings use a double data line, so one bad pixel does not take the rest of the run with it. The lights stay on and we come and replace the bulb.
No, and we do both. Holiday lighting is a seasonal display: we put it up, look after it, take it down in January and store it. Permanent lighting goes up once and stays, and it does the holidays plus every other night of the year.
Yes, and it is where a lot of this is going. Dealerships, restaurants, storefronts and municipal buildings. The commercial strings are brighter by design, built to read from across a parking lot.
Yes, and it is growing. Right now we can swap the bulbs in your existing landscape lights for Minleon ones, so the yard runs from the same app as the roofline. More is coming by spring.
We are based in Gould City and work across Michigan's Eastern Upper Peninsula. For lighting we also travel to Sault Ste. Marie, Marquette, Escanaba and Petoskey. If you are outside that and want a measure, ask. We will tell you straight whether it is a drive we can make.

Book a measure
Lighting is priced off your actual roofline, so we come and measure it. Every house is a different length of run, a different number of gables, and a different climb. Anyone quoting you from a desk is guessing.
