What Comes With a Grand Prairie System
Each project is planned from a site visit, not a catalog page.
01
Measured roofline drawing
We record every eave, gable and garage edge, then show you the planned runs on a simple drawing so you can see exactly where light will sit before anything is ordered.
04
PermaLites 365 app setup
We install the app on your phone, pair it with the controller and build a few starter scenes with you so you leave the walkthrough knowing how everything works.
02
Trim-matched aluminum channel
The channel color is picked to match your fascia. During the day it reads as part of the trim, which matters on homes facing busy streets and open greenbelts.
05
Independent lighting zones
Front, back and garage can each run their own color and timer. A lake-facing patio can glow softly while the street side shows full holiday color.
03
Wiring built for weather
Connections are sealed and runs are tucked under the roof edge, out of direct sun and hail. Wiring is routed cleanly to the controller with nothing loose along gutters.
06
Follow-up from Dallas
Questions after install go to our office on Goodnight Lane at 972-620-9560, Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm. We schedule a service call when one is needed.
Two Very Different Grand Prairie Rooflines
Grand Prairie runs a long way north to south, and the housing changes with it. Central neighborhoods near Pioneer Parkway and Carrier Parkway are full of brick single-story homes with long, straight eaves. Those take one clean run that looks tidy every night.
South of I-20, master-planned areas like Mira Lagos and Lakeridge lean toward taller two-story homes with stone fronts and stepped roofs. There, a permanent track saves the most work, because nobody has to stage a second-story ladder twice a year.

Two-story lake homes skip yearly ladder work
Stepped roofs get clean, continuous corners

How We Light a Grand Prairie Home
01
Quick phone intake
Share your address, the areas you want lit and how you plan to use the lights. We book a site visit at a time that suits you.
02
On-site survey
We measure each edge, note trim color, locate an exterior outlet and photograph corners, gables and any trees that block the view.
03
Layout and quote
You receive a drawing of runs and zones with a quote built from real measurements. Changes are easy at this stage.
04
Install and test
The crew mounts channel, seats LEDs, connects the controller and tests every zone in daylight and again at dusk when possible.
05
App walkthrough
We save scenes for upcoming holidays, set a sunset schedule and show you how to adjust color, brightness and effects yourself.
Around Grand Prairie: Where Permanent Light Works Hard
Grand Prairie sits between Dallas and Arlington and stretches across Dallas, Tarrant and Ellis counties. That spread means very different streets and properties, so we design for the spot in front of us.
Mira Lagos and Lakeridge
Newer two-story homes near Joe Pool Lake with layered rooflines and stone accents. We often split these into street and rear zones, so the lake-facing side can stay soft and calm while the front shows full color for the holidays.
Lone Star Park area
Restaurants, hotels and offices near the racetrack and the I-30 corridor see heavy evening traffic. Permanent edge lighting keeps a building visible and on-brand, then changes to a holiday scene on a schedule you set once. Late-night dimming keeps energy use modest.
Game-day colors
With AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field just next door in Arlington, many households save a Cowboys or Rangers scene. Schedule it for home games and the lights return to warm white the next morning on their own. Playoff runs just need a date change.
Pioneer Parkway neighborhoods
Established brick homes with long single-story eaves. One continuous warm white run gives these houses a crisp, updated look after dark, and the same channel switches to red and green in late November with a tap. Garage and porch edges can join the same zone.
I-20 and SH-161 retail
Shops around the Grand Prairie Premium Outlets area compete for attention from the highway. A lit roofline in brand color signals the business is open, and a seasonal scene can take over during the busy shopping weeks. Hours-based timers mean nobody has to remember the switch.
Permanent Lighting Next to Our Seasonal Program
Because we are a Christmas Decor franchise, we run a full seasonal program too. In Grand Prairie that program serves businesses, HOA entrances, dealerships and large venues with leased commercial-grade product, in-season service, removal and storage. Homes here are served with permanent lighting.
The two fit different goals. Seasonal suits a property that wants a big December display and nothing the rest of the year. Permanent suits anyone who wants light for many dates without booking an install again.
Seasonal: leased product, removed and stored each January
Permanent: installed once, ready every evening
Seasonal: classic large-bulb holiday look
Permanent: any color, scheduled from an app
Commercial sites can combine both approaches
What Moves a Grand Prairie Quote
We quote from measurements; these are the variables that change the number.
Total linear footage
The length of channel and LED needed is the largest factor. A single-story ranch near Pioneer Parkway needs far less material than a wide two-story near the lake.
Zones and controllers
One zone is simplest. Separate front, rear and garage zones add controller capacity and wiring, and give you far more flexibility from night to night.
Working height
Taller eaves and steep pitches require more staging, safety gear and crew time. Single-story sections go faster, so the mix of heights on your home matters.
Power location
An exterior outlet close to the controller spot keeps the plan simple. If power must be routed farther, we note it at the site visit so nothing surprises you later.
Corners and transitions
Hips, valleys, dormers and stone returns each need cuts and fittings. Straight runs are quick, while a busy roofline takes more parts and careful labor.

Grand Prairie Permanent Lighting FAQ
Have a question we didn’t cover? Call 972-620-9560 or request a free quote online.
What is permanent lighting, in plain terms?
–
It is a slim aluminum channel mounted along your roof edge with LEDs seated inside. It stays in place all year, and you change color, brightness, effects and schedules from the PermaLites 365 app. Think of it as holiday lights and accent lighting in one system.
Can the track be seen during the day?
–
Very little. We match the channel to your trim and mount it tight under the roof edge, so from the street it blends into the fascia. Most neighbors only notice it once the lights come on in the evening. Dark or light trim both have matching options.
How does it hold up to North Texas weather?
–
Grand Prairie sees summer heat over 100 degrees, spring hail and the occasional ice storm. The channel sits under the eave, out of direct impact, and we seal connections and route wiring with that weather in mind. If a storm causes damage, call our office for a service visit.
Can I run team colors on game days?
–
Yes. Save a scene for the Cowboys, the Rangers or your school, then schedule it for game nights. The lights switch back to your everyday setting on their own, so you never have to remember to change them. Holiday and birthday scenes work the same way.
Does my HOA need to approve it?
–
Many master-planned communities in south Grand Prairie review exterior changes. We provide a layout drawing, the channel color and a short description of how the system mounts, which is usually what a review committee asks to see before approving. We can answer committee questions too.
Do I need an electrician first?
–
Often not. Many homes have an exterior outlet we can use for the controller. If there is no outlet in a workable spot, we tell you at the site visit so you can arrange power before install day. That keeps the schedule on track.
Will installation harm my roof or gutters?
–
The channel fastens along the fascia under the roof edge, not through shingles. We keep wiring out of gutters so water drains normally. If you replace the roof later, call us first so we can plan removal and reinstallation of affected runs.
Why choose permanent over seasonal lights for my home?
–
In Grand Prairie our seasonal service is for commercial properties, HOA entrances and venues, so homes here go permanent. The practical upside is one install instead of a setup and takedown every year, and light for every occasion rather than one month.
Do you install on businesses and offices?
–
Yes. Permanent edge lighting suits retail, restaurants, hotels and offices along I-20, I-30 and SH-161. We plan runs along rooflines and entries, program brand colors and holiday scenes, and provide certificates of insurance for property managers who need them. Work is timed around opening hours.
