One Install, Every Season in Addison
The same track handles December, Kaboom Town week and every ordinary Tuesday night.
01
Christmas without ladders
Classic warm white, red and green, or a slow color fade for December. Switch it on the night after Thanksgiving and off after New Year's, all from your phone, with no strands to test.
04
Security white
Bright white over the driveway, garage and entries puts more light where you walk at night, improves what your doorbell camera sees and makes the house look occupied.
02
Kaboom Town week
Run red, white and blue all week before Addison's July 3rd fireworks, when the whole town fills with visitors, then return to warm white without anyone climbing a ladder or calling a crew.
05
Patio and dining glow
Restaurants along Belt Line Road can keep a warm white outline for evening diners on the patio and save brand or holiday scenes for promotions, private parties and game nights.
03
Storefronts and offices
Outline a building in brand colors, add a seasonal scene for promotions and keep entries well lit for staff and customers. Managers change it all from a phone.
06
Holidays across the calendar
From Valentine's pink to St. Patrick's green to Hanukkah blue, the app holds as many saved scenes as you want, each ready to schedule for its own dates.
A Clean Line for Compact Addison Buildings
Addison packs restaurants, office towers, apartments and townhomes into about four square miles, so buildings sit close and are seen from every angle. A sloppy string of clips shows. A color-matched track tucked under the edge does not.
We plan each run so the light follows the architecture: parapets on low-rise retail, balconies and cornices on mixed-use buildings, gables on Addison's single-family streets. Then we set scenes for the way you actually use the property.

How a Addison Install Works
01
Walk the property
We visit your Addison address, measure every roof edge, note the trim color and look at the house the way neighbors and drivers will see it after dark.
02
Site survey
A designer measures rooflines, checks outlets and power, and asks how you plan to use the lights through the year.
03
Plan the zones
Front, sides, garage or rear elevations can run as separate zones, so one scene lights the street side while another rests.
04
Install and test
Our insured crew mounts the track, wires the controller and tests every run before anything is called finished.
05
Scenes and support
We set schedules and holiday presets, then stay a phone call away for service calls on the system we installed.
Where Permanent Lighting Works in Addison
Addison's mix of dining, office and residential space gives permanent lighting a lot of jobs. These are the areas we plan around most.
Belt Line Road
The restaurant corridor lives on evening traffic. A lit roofline or canopy edge helps a building stand out among dozens of neighbors, and the app lets a manager change the look for a holiday menu or a watch party without booking a crew.
Vitruvian Park
Newer multifamily buildings near the park and its waterway are seen from walking paths, balconies and the street. Permanent lighting gives property managers a polished nightly look and a quick switch to seasonal color for residents. It also helps leasing tours that run into the evening.
Addison neighborhoods
Single-family homes and townhomes tucked between the commercial districts get the same color-matched track. Warm white runs on a nightly timer, and full color comes out for the holidays, Kaboom Town and family celebrations. The track stays nearly invisible against trim by day.
Addison Circle
Mid-rise apartments, offices and ground-floor retail around the circle benefit from soft white accent lines on cornices and entries. Holiday scenes can be saved for December and for the town's big event weekends, then scheduled ahead. Residents notice the difference on their walk home.
Dallas North Tollway frontage
Offices and hotels visible from the Tollway are seen by thousands of drivers every evening. Brand colors along the roofline keep a building recognizable after dark, with no seasonal labor and no lift rental every November. Scenes can follow quarterly campaigns too.
Permanent or Seasonal? We Install Both
Most Addison businesses we talk with are deciding between two paths. Seasonal service means we design a holiday display, install leased commercial-grade LED product, maintain it through the season, then remove and store it. Permanent lighting means the track goes up once and handles every holiday, plus brand colors the rest of the year.
Because Christmas Decor by Carruthers Decorative Lighting installs both, we have no reason to push one. We look at your building and how you use it, then recommend.
Seasonal: larger December displays, removed in January
Seasonal: leased product, storage handled for you
Permanent: one install, color all year
Permanent: no yearly hang-and-remove crew
Many properties pair a permanent roofline with seasonal décor
What Shapes the Cost in Addison
Every quote is built from measurements, so here is what moves the number up or down.
Linear footage
The total length of roofline you want lit is the biggest single driver. Lighting one front elevation and outlining every side of the house are very different projects in track, labor and time.
Zones and controllers
One zone is the simplest system. Splitting the home so different sides can run different scenes takes more planning and hardware, and we explain the tradeoff before you decide.
Height and access
Tall walls, steep roofs and tight side yards change how the crew reaches the roof edge. That affects time on site and the equipment we bring, and we account for it during the visit.
Power source location
When an outlet sits close to where the controller should go, the install stays simple. Longer power runs, or a property where power has to be routed to the roofline, add work and materials.
Peaks, gables and dormers
Every change in direction adds cuts, corners and connections. A simple hip roof with long straight eaves runs much quicker than a facade full of stacked gables, turrets and small dormers.

Addison Permanent Lighting FAQ
Have a question we didn’t cover? Call 972-620-9560 or request a free quote online.
Can a restaurant on Belt Line Road change colors for events?
–
Yes. Managers save scenes in the app for holidays, promotions, game nights or a private party, then switch with a tap. The schedule returns to your everyday look automatically, so staff do not have to remember to change it back at closing.
Do you work with Addison property managers?
–
Yes. We provide certificates of insurance covering liability and workers' compensation, and we can schedule site visits around tenant hours. Our office on Goodnight Lane in northwest Dallas is a short drive from Addison, which keeps visits and service calls easy to arrange.
What is permanent lighting?
–
It is a low-profile LED track mounted along your roof edge that stays up all year. You control colors, effects and schedules from the PermaLites 365 app, so one system covers Christmas, every other holiday and everyday accent light without seasonal hanging or removal.
Will the system be noticeable in daylight?
–
We choose a track color that blends with your trim and keep the mount close to the edge of the roof. In daylight it is subtle and tidy, which is one of the main reasons owners pick permanent lighting over seasonal clips and strands.
Do you install on businesses and HOA entrances?
–
Yes. Commercial buildings, HOA entrances, churches and dealerships use the same system for brand colors, seasonal scenes and well-lit entries. Our parent company has managed commercial properties since 1978, and certificates of insurance are available for property managers who need them on file before work begins.
Where does the controller plug in?
–
We place the controller near an existing outlet whenever we can, usually in the garage or beside an exterior outlet. Power location is part of the design visit, and any extra routing is spelled out in the proposal before anything is scheduled.
How long does installation take?
–
It depends on footage, roof height and the number of zones. A single-story home with a simple roofline moves quickly, while large or complex homes take longer. Your proposal includes the expected schedule, so you can plan around it, and the crew confirms timing the day before they arrive.
Who do I call if something needs attention?
–
Call us directly at 972-620-9560. We handle service calls on the systems we install, and because we keep your layout and zone plan on file, our crew already knows the property, the controller location and the zone layout before they arrive.
Should I choose permanent or seasonal lighting?
–
Choose permanent if you want color all year and never want to schedule installs again. Choose seasonal if you want a larger December-only display with wreaths and trees. Because we install both, we can recommend either one honestly after seeing the property.
