What Duncanville Lights Up For
A roofline that works hard well beyond December.
01
December on demand
Pick a holiday preset and the roofline is ready the same evening. There are no bulbs to replace, no clips to buy and no cold weekend spent on the roof each November.
04
Light where you need it
Brighter white over doors, walkways and the garage helps when you get home late, makes package drop-offs easier to see and keeps the home looking occupied when you travel.
02
Panthers basketball season
Duncanville takes its basketball seriously. Save a scene in Panthers colors for the season and the playoff run, then set it to switch back to white after the final buzzer.
05
Main Street businesses
Shops and restaurants along Main Street can run a warm outline every evening and change to festive scenes in December, adding to downtown without hiring a seasonal crew.
03
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.
06
Halloween glow
Orange and purple with a slow flicker for trick-or-treat night, then back to everyday white the following evening with a single tap. Kids on the street will notice it first.
Older Fascia Needs a Careful Plan
Much of Duncanville was built from the 1960s through the 1980s. Ranch and traditional brick homes have character, but fascia boards can be uneven, repainted several times or due for repair.
We look closely during the design visit. If a board needs attention, we tell you before installing, not after. The track is set straight even where the trim is not, and we plan runs around large shade trees so branches do not hide half the outline.

Duncanville Areas We Cover
Duncanville sits where I-20 meets US-67, a short drive from our Dallas office. These are the settings we plan for most.
Main Street district
The historic downtown strip has storefronts, restaurants and community events. A permanent outline gives businesses an evening presence all year and a quick switch to holiday scenes once December arrives. Each storefront can program its own scene for downtown events and holiday weekends.
Neighborhoods near Armstrong Park
Established streets around the park have ranch homes, big trees and long front lawns. We plan zones so the most visible side of the house carries the look. Large trees get planned around so branches never hide the front outline or block the view from the street.
Churches and community buildings
Congregations and community groups can welcome evening visitors with warm white and mark Christmas, Easter and special services with saved scenes. Certificates of insurance are available for boards and facility managers. Entry walks can be added for safer evening arrivals.
I-20 and US-67 corridors
Retail centers, restaurants and offices near the highway interchange need to be seen at night. Permanent lighting in brand colors runs on a schedule, so no one has to flip switches or call a crew. Bold, simple lines are easiest to read from the highway.
Camp Wisdom and Wheatland Roads
Homes and small businesses along these east-west roads mix older brick with newer infill. We design each property on its own, matching track to whatever trim color is there now. A front zone and a garage zone usually cover these homes well.
Seasonal Install or Permanent Track?
As a Christmas Decor franchise, we install both. In Duncanville, our seasonal holiday lighting serves businesses, HOA entrances, churches and municipal spaces, with leased product, installation, service, removal and storage.
For Duncanville homeowners, permanent lighting is the route to a lit roofline: install once, then use it for Christmas, the Fourth, Halloween and game nights for years. Businesses get brand color every evening, and many add seasonal décor at the door for December.
Permanent: lit all year, no seasonal crew
Permanent: available for homes and businesses
Seasonal: commercial, HOA and civic properties
Seasonal: removal and storage included

Cost Drivers, Explained Plainly
Cost depends on the building, not a template, so we weigh these factors.
How many feet of edge
We build every proposal from measured footage, never a guess. Lighting only the street-facing roofline keeps scope tight, while a full wraparound outline adds track, connections and crew hours.
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.
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.
Room to grow
If you think you may want more runs later, tell us during the first visit. We size the controller and layout so new sections tie in cleanly when you are ready to add them.
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.

Duncanville Permanent Lighting FAQ
Have a question we didn’t cover? Call 972-620-9560 or request a free quote online.
My house is older. Is it still a good fit?
–
Usually, yes. We check fascia and trim during the design visit, and if a board needs repair we tell you before installing. The track can be set straight on older trim, and runs are planned around mature trees so the outline stays visible.
How far is your crew from Duncanville?
–
Not far. Our office is in northwest Dallas, and Duncanville is a straightforward drive down I-35E or US-67. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm, and we provide service calls on the systems we install. Design visits are easy to book.
How is PermaLites 365 different from regular Christmas lights?
–
Regular strands go up in the fall and come down in January, and they need testing, clips and storage every year. PermaLites 365 is a fixed LED track that stays on the house, blends with the trim by day and changes color from an app whenever you want.
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.
How do I change colors and schedules?
–
Open the app, choose a saved preset or build a new one, and set when it should run. A dusk-to-late schedule for everyday white is the most common setup, and we program it with you on install day along with your first holiday scenes.
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.
Does installation harm my roof or gutters?
–
The track mounts along the fascia or roof edge rather than across the shingles. We review mounting points with you during the design visit so you know exactly where hardware goes before the crew arrives, and we can answer any roofing questions then.
Do you install on two-story and steep roofs?
–
Yes. Tall and steep rooflines are a regular part of our commercial and large residential work. Our crew is insured with liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we plan the right equipment for each roof during the site visit. Height changes the plan, not the result.
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.
Can I see a layout before I commit?
–
Yes. We walk the property, measure and show you a layout that marks which lines we light and where zones split, so you know what the finished home will look like. Nothing is scheduled until you have reviewed and approved the plan.
