Reasons Denton Keeps It On
A college town has a lot to celebrate, and the app keeps up.
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
Red, white and blue
Set a patriotic scene for Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Veterans Day, and let the schedule handle the timing. It turns on at dusk and off whenever you choose.
02
Mean Green and TWU nights
Save green and white for UNT game days and maroon and white for Texas Woman's University events. Graduation weekends and homecoming get their own scenes too.
05
Square-side storefronts
Shops, bars and restaurants around the courthouse Square can keep a warm outline every night and add holiday color for the busy downtown season without a seasonal crew.
03
October scenes
Save a spooky orange and green scene for the whole month, or run it only on weekend nights when the neighborhood fills with costumes, candy bags and wagons.
06
Family celebrations
Pink or blue for a new arrival, school colors for a graduate, or a custom mix for a party on the patio. Save each one and reuse it year after year.
Porches and Gables or Long Single-Story Eaves
Denton homes vary more than most North Texas towns. Older houses west of the Square have porches, decorative brackets and steep front gables. Newer neighborhoods, including the Robson Ranch active-adult community, are mostly single-story with long, even eaves.
The design changes with the house. On a historic home we highlight the porch and main gable and leave fussy trim alone. On a long ranch-style roof, one clean run along the eave can carry the whole look.

Our Five-Step Process
01
Request a visit
Call the office at 972-620-9560, Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm, and we set a time to see the Denton property.
02
Measure and photograph
We record every eave, peak and gable, plus trim color and the nearest power, so nothing is guessed on install day.
03
Match the track
We pick a track color that blends with your fascia or trim, so the system stays low-key in daylight hours.
04
Installation day
The crew fits color-matched track tight to the trim, routes wiring neatly and checks each zone section by section.
05
Learn the app
Before the crew leaves, you save presets, set a dusk-to-late schedule and try a few colors with us standing beside you.
Across Denton
From downtown to the edges of town, these are settings where permanent lighting earns its keep.
The courthouse Square
Downtown storefronts sit shoulder to shoulder around the historic courthouse. A permanent outline in brand colors helps a business stand out at night, and a December scene adds to the downtown holiday atmosphere without blocking the sidewalk. Each storefront can keep its own zone.
Robson Ranch
Single-story homes with long eaves are a natural fit. Many residents want lights they never have to hang again, and the app makes switching scenes as easy as choosing a photo. Single-story eaves also keep installation simple and quick for our crew.
Near the UNT and TWU campuses
Rental homes and small businesses near campus can show school colors on game weekends. Landlords like that nothing hangs loose after the season ends. Graduation weekends, homecoming and move-in days can each get a saved scene, and the outline returns to white once the crowds head home for the night.
Historic homes west of downtown
Neighborhoods near the Oak-Hickory area have older homes with porches and painted trim. We match track tones to the paint and keep runs tight, so the architecture stays the focus in daylight. Porch lines often deserve their own zone and a softer warm white scene for evenings.
University Drive and Loop 288
Retail centers and restaurants along these busy roads, including the Rayzor Ranch area, can use permanent lighting for brand color and evening visibility with schedules that run themselves. Brand colors can switch to holiday scenes on any date you choose, with no one on a ladder.
Hang It Every Year or Install It Once?
We sell both, so this comparison is not a sales pitch for one side. In Denton, our seasonal holiday lighting goes to commercial properties, HOA entrances, municipal spaces and large venues. It is leased, installed, serviced, taken down and stored for you.
Permanent lighting is for owners who want light in every season. Homeowners choose it to stop climbing ladders, and businesses use it for brand color all year. If a December showpiece is the goal, the two can work side by side.
Permanent: installed once, every holiday covered
Permanent: homes, rentals and storefronts
Seasonal: commercial, HOA and municipal sites
Seasonal: removal and storage included
Combine both for a big December look
What Goes Into Your Denton Quote
Your proposal reflects the property itself, and these details matter most.
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.
Where power comes from
We check outlets and power during the site visit. When the nearest power is far from the roofline, routing it neatly and safely takes extra time, and we show you the options first.
Roofline shape
Long, straight eaves are efficient to light. Stepped rooflines, turrets and many small dormers take more fitting to keep the line of light clean and even, which adds time to the install.
Trees, slopes and landscaping
Mature trees, planting beds against the foundation and sloped lots change where ladders and lifts can stand. They can add setup time, and we plan around them to protect your yard.
Number of zones
Separate zones for the front, garage, back patio or outbuildings give you more control over scenes. Each added zone means more wiring and controller setup, so we plan only what you will use.

Denton Permanent Lighting FAQ
Have a question we didn’t cover? Call 972-620-9560 or request a free quote online.
Will permanent lights suit an older Denton home?
–
Yes, when the layout respects the house. We usually light the porch line and main gable, match the track to painted trim and skip decorative brackets. The goal is a soft outline that looks original to the home, not added on.
Is the app simple enough for retirees?
–
Yes. Saved scenes are one tap, and schedules turn the lights on and off without anyone touching the phone. We set up your first scenes during installation and walk through the app until you are comfortable with it. Family members can share access too.
Can you see the track during the day?
–
The track is color-matched to your fascia or trim and mounted tight to the roof edge, so from the street it reads as part of the trim. Most neighbors only notice the system when the lights are on, which is exactly the point.
Will my homeowners association allow it?
–
Rules vary by association, so check your guidelines first. Because the track is low profile and color-matched to the trim, it is a modest exterior change, and we can provide the system details and track color your HOA asks for.
Do I need new electrical work?
–
The controller needs a power source near where it mounts, often in the garage or by an exterior outlet. We check power during the site visit. If the nearest outlet is far from the ideal controller location, we explain the options before you commit.
Is a tall roof a problem?
–
No. We plan equipment for height and pitch during the site visit. The crew is insured with liability and workers' compensation coverage, and certificates of insurance are available if your HOA, builder or property manager asks for one before work begins.
What if a section stops working?
–
Call the office at 972-620-9560, Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm. We provide service calls on systems we install, so you deal with the same company that designed and installed your lights rather than starting over with a stranger.
Can a business use permanent lighting?
–
Yes. Restaurants, offices, retail centers and churches use it to stay visible after dark and change their look by season or promotion. We provide certificates of insurance on request and can schedule site visits around business hours. Brand colors are programmed on install day.
Is permanent lighting worth it compared to hiring seasonal installs?
–
If you light the roofline every year, permanent lighting removes the yearly install and removal cycle and adds use for every other holiday and everyday accent light. The payoff depends on how long you plan to own the property and how often you use it.
Can I combine permanent lights with seasonal décor?
–
Yes. For businesses and HOAs where we also install holiday décor, a permanent roofline pairs well with seasonal wreaths, garland and lit trees. You simply set the roofline color in the app to match each year's décor theme.
