Designed Around Flower Mound Homes
Here is what a typical Flower Mound project covers from survey to setup.
01
Multi-level roof mapping
Many homes here step from a one-story garage up to a two-story main roof with a turret or tower. We map each level separately so lines stay clean where rooflines meet.
04
Separate pool and patio zone
Back elevations get used all summer long. A warm white patio zone gives gentle evening light for the pool deck and outdoor kitchen without lighting the whole house.
02
Stone and stucco detail
Light washing down over stone looks very different from light over siding. We plan placement and brightness so textured fronts glow instead of looking blown out.
05
Channel color chosen carefully
We match the channel to your fascia so the system disappears in daylight. On light trim, dark channel stands out, so we take time to choose correctly.
03
HOA submission packet
You receive a written description, the channel color and a layout drawing. That is usually what an architectural review committee wants to see before approving exterior changes.
06
Scenes ready on day one
We load a few looks before leaving: warm white, Christmas, a patriotic scene and your school colors. Adding more later takes only a minute in the app.
Tall, Detailed Rooflines Are Where Permanent Pays Off
Flower Mound homes are often bigger and taller than the DFW average, with steep gables, multiple hips and wide side-entry garages. Hanging seasonal strands on that kind of roof means a long day on tall ladders every November and again in January.
A permanent track solves that once. After install, the hardest part of holiday lighting is choosing a scene. The same lights handle spring evenings, Fourth of July, Halloween and quiet white accent light on ordinary weeknights.
No second-story ladder work each season
Clean lines on hips, gables and turrets
Accent light for long lots and driveways
Holiday looks saved and scheduled ahead
How a Flower Mound Install Runs
01
Site visit
We walk the property, measure each roof edge, check trim color and power, and talk through which views matter most to you.
02
Layout and HOA packet
You get a drawing of runs and zones plus a written description for your HOA. We answer committee questions if they come up.
03
Schedule install
Once approved, we set an install date. Larger homes may need a longer day on site, and we tell you that upfront.
04
Mount and test
The crew installs channel and LEDs, routes wiring and tests every zone, adjusting placement where corners or transitions need it.
05
Walkthrough
We connect the app, save scenes and set a sunset schedule, then show you how to tweak color and brightness yourself.
Neighborhoods and Places We Plan For
Flower Mound is a Denton County town with a strong sense of place. Neighborhood rules, lot sizes and roof styles vary a lot from one side of FM 2499 to the other, so we design each home on its own.
Bridlewood
Golf-course homes with stone fronts and deep eaves. Lights here are often seen from fairways and long curving streets, so we plan the rear elevation as carefully as the front and keep both sides on their own schedules. Golf-course rules on rear views vary, so we check first.
Canyon Falls
Newer builds with modern farmhouse and contemporary lines along rolling terrain. Clean straight eaves and crisp corners suit a single, precise run of white or color that looks deliberate rather than decorative clutter. A matching patio zone in back is a popular addition on these lots.
Cross Timbers and FM 2499
Shops and offices along the town's main corridors face steady evening traffic. A lit roofline improves visibility from the road, signals the business is open after dark and keeps the property looking cared for year-round. Schedules can follow store hours.
Wellington
Established, larger homes under mature trees. Canopy can hide much of a roofline from the street, so we walk the curb before designing to decide which edges actually deserve light and which would only glow into branches. That walk saves wasted channel.
Lakeside DFW
Restaurants, offices and residences along Grapevine Lake's north shore. Commercial owners can use permanent edges for brand color most nights, then switch to holiday scenes on an automatic schedule when the season arrives. Lake views reward a clean line that reflects off the water at night.
We Sell Both, So Here Is the Honest Comparison
As a Christmas Decor franchise we run a full seasonal program: leased commercial-grade lights, installed, serviced during the season, taken down and stored. In Flower Mound that program serves commercial properties, HOA entrances and venues. For homes here, we install permanent lighting.
The difference is mostly about how often you want light. If it is only December, seasonal fits. If it is every holiday, game night and evening, a permanent system earns its keep.
Seasonal fits HOA entrances and commercial displays
Permanent fits homes wanting light all year
Permanent removes yearly install and removal visits
Seasonal keeps the classic large-bulb look
Cost Factors for Flower Mound Homes
No two quotes are alike here because homes vary so much; these are the inputs.
Total run length
Wide homes with side garages and back elevations add up fast. We price from measured feet of channel and LED, not from the square footage of the house.
Zones and controllers
Splitting front, rear and patio into independent zones may require more controller capacity and extra wiring runs back to the power source. We help you choose zones that match how you actually use the house.
Roof height
Two-story and taller sections need more staging, safety gear and time. Single-story garage roofs are quicker to work on, so the mix of heights on your home matters.
Outlet location
A convenient exterior outlet near the controller spot keeps things simple. Longer routing to reach power, or adding an outlet, becomes part of the plan.
Transitions and corners
Every hip, valley and turret needs cuts and fittings. A roof with many breaks takes more parts and more careful labor than one long, uninterrupted eave.

Flower Mound Permanent Lighting FAQ
Have a question we didn’t cover? Call 972-620-9560 or request a free quote online.
Does my HOA have to approve permanent lights?
–
Many Flower Mound HOAs review exterior changes, and permanent lighting usually counts. We give you a layout drawing, the channel color and a plain description of how it mounts, which is what most committees ask for. Check your HOA's rules before scheduling install.
Can you light a two-story or steep roof?
–
Yes. Tall, steep and multi-level rooflines are common here and our crew works on them regularly. Height affects time and staging, so we account for it in your quote rather than surprising you on install day with extra charges. Safety equipment and staging come with the crew.
Is the track visible in daylight?
–
We choose a channel color that matches your trim and mount it tight under the roof edge. On most homes it blends in from the street, especially on stone and stucco fronts where the eye goes to texture first. If your trim is two colors, we discuss which one the channel should follow.
Can I control it from my phone?
–
Yes. The PermaLites 365 app lets you pick colors, set brightness, save scenes and build schedules. Lights can come on at sunset and turn off at a time you choose, and anyone you share access with can do the same.
Will it handle North Texas weather?
–
Our summers run past 100 degrees, spring brings hail and some winters bring ice. The channel sits tucked under the eave, sheltered from direct impact, and we seal connections and route wiring with that weather in mind. If a storm ever leaves damage, call our office and we will schedule a look.
How does permanent compare to having seasonal lights hung every year?
–
Seasonal lighting means two visits every year and lights for one holiday. Permanent is one install and light for every occasion. In Flower Mound our seasonal service is for commercial properties and HOA entrances, so homes here go permanent. Many owners say skipping the January takedown alone is worth it.
Can I add more runs later?
–
Yes. If you start with the front and later want the back elevation, a pool cabana or a detached garage, we can extend the system and add the new zone to the same app you already use. Planning the controller with spare capacity on day one makes later additions simpler.
Do the lights work as everyday accent or security light?
–
Warm or cool white along the eaves lights up walkways, driveways and entries without the harsh glare of floodlights. Many homeowners run a soft white every night and save color for holidays and special dates. A soft white schedule from dusk to midnight is the most popular everyday setting we program.
Can the system come down if I sell the house?
–
It can be removed, but most homeowners leave it in place as a feature for the next owner. If you plan to take it with you, tell us before listing so we can plan a clean removal and trim touch-up.
Do you install on businesses at Lakeside DFW?
–
Yes. Permanent edge lighting suits restaurants, offices and retail. We plan runs along rooflines and entries, program brand colors and seasonal scenes, and provide certificates of insurance on request for landlords and property managers. Install work can be timed around business hours.
