Permanent lighting pricing · Houston
Quoted on Your Roofline
A front-elevation system and a multi-story home with long rooflines, deep soffits, and several zones are different projects. Here is exactly what changes the number.
Anatomy of a quote
Where the project cost comes from.
Relative weight of each part of a typical installed system. Actual proportions shift with your architecture — no figures below represent a published price.
Linear footage
Total covered roofline drives the quantity of LEDs, track, wiring, fasteners, and installation time. Front-elevation systems cover less than full-perimeter systems on the same home.
Your written proposal lists the approved coverage areas, components, and installation scope before any work begins.
Cost factors
What moves the estimate.
Total linear footage
More covered roofline means more LEDs, track, wiring, fasteners, and installation time.
Labor & access
Second-story rooflines, steep pitches, difficult access, deep soffits, multiple elevations, and complex working conditions can significantly increase installation labor.
Roof sections & complexity
Peaks, dormers, gables, transitions, corners, and architectural details increase layout, fabrication, and installation requirements.
Track depth & color matching
Soffit and fascia conditions determine track profile and depth; custom color matching adds fabrication requirements.
Power supplies
Total light count and electrical load determine the number and placement of power supplies.
Wiring & power injection
Longer runs and complex layouts may require additional power wiring, data wiring, and injection points.
Controllers & signal support
Larger or more complex systems may require additional controllers, boosters, or separate lighting zones.
Testing & programming
Final system testing, controller configuration, scene setup, and homeowner walkthrough are part of the completed installation.
Residential vs. commercial
Commercial projects may involve longer runs, more zones, greater access complexity, additional coordination, and larger power requirements.
Price per linear foot
Why one number never tells the story.
- Two homes with equal footage can install very differently
- Track depth, profile, and finish change the material cost per foot
- Power supplies, controllers, and injection points are part of the system
- Larger projects spread some fixed system costs across more footage
- Front-only coverage costs less than a full perimeter on the same home
We quote the complete installed system so the number reflects what actually goes on the building.
Residential scope
Front-elevation systems are the most cost-efficient entry point. Full-perimeter coverage, multi-story elevations, and complex architecture increase scope. Many homeowners start at the front and expand later.
Commercial scope
Offices, retail, restaurants, hospitality, HOAs, and shopping centers vary by building count, zones, height, access, and power distribution. Larger projects can often be phased.
Permanent vs. seasonal
Install Once or Repeat Every November
Permanent lighting is a higher upfront investment installed once, backed by our 6-Year Workmanship Warranty and a Limited Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty on qualifying components. Seasonal lighting is a recurring annual cost.
Long-term value
Discreet by Day. Controllable at Night.
- Track is fabricated to blend with the fascia when the lights are off
- Systems can be expanded to more rooflines, buildings, or zones
- Year-round use for holidays, game days, events, and everyday white light

FAQ
Permanent Lighting Pricing FAQs
Cost depends on total linear footage, roofline complexity, building height, track requirements, power supplies, controllers, wiring, access, and overall system design. Every quote is built on the actual property.
Linear footage is the starting point, but the installed price also reflects architecture, track depth, installation height, power and control components, and custom fabrication. The total installed price is the useful number.
In most cases, yes. Multi-story elevations usually require more setup, access equipment, labor, and installation time.
It can. Standard finishes are more straightforward, while custom color matching or specialty finishes add fabrication and material cost to the color-matched 26-gauge galvalume track.
Yes. Many homeowners start with a front-elevation installation and expand to additional rooflines or full-perimeter coverage later.
Permanent lighting has a higher upfront cost, while seasonal lighting involves recurring annual installation and removal. Which makes more sense depends on how you plan to use the system over time.
Pricing can include design, track, LED lighting, power supplies, controllers, wiring, fabrication, installation, testing, programming, and the support outlined in your proposal.
