Every Irving Install Includes
Homes and commercial buildings get the same complete scope.
01
Survey and drawn layout
We measure rooflines and building edges, note trim and power, then hand you a drawing of runs and zones before anything is ordered or scheduled.
04
Paperwork for managers
Certificates of insurance are available for landlords, property managers and HOAs. We carry liability insurance and workers' compensation for every crew member. We send certificates before install day.
02
Channel matched to finish
Channel is matched to fascia or building trim, so it disappears in daylight. On commercial facades we follow parapets, canopies and entry edges cleanly. Painted trim matches easily.
05
Home app setup
For homeowners, we pair the PermaLites 365 app, save starter scenes and set a sunset timer during a walkthrough before the crew leaves. Family members can share access.
03
Scheduling for commercial hours
Offices, restaurants and hotels can run brand colors during open hours and switch off or dim overnight. Holiday scenes take over automatically on dates you choose.
06
Quick service visits
Irving is close to our Goodnight Lane office in northwest Dallas, so design visits and service calls are easy to fit into the week. Response times stay short for both homes and buildings.
Built for Las Colinas Business Hours
Irving is one of the region's biggest business centers, and Las Colinas buildings are seen by commuters, hotel guests and diners every evening. A permanent lighting system outlines rooflines and entries in brand color, on a schedule that matches business hours.
When the holidays arrive, the same channel switches to festive scenes without a seasonal crew on site. Restaurants near Lake Carolyn and the Toyota Music Factory area can add color for events, then return to everyday white the next morning.

Irving Districts and Neighborhoods We Serve
Irving stretches from DFW Airport's eastern edge to the Dallas line, with SH-114, SH-183 and the President George Bush Turnpike crossing it. Each area calls for a different design approach.
Las Colinas Urban Center
Offices, hotels and restaurants around Lake Carolyn and the Mandalay Canal face evening foot and car traffic. Permanent edge lighting keeps entries welcoming and on-brand, with holiday scenes that switch on automatically. Lake reflections at night double the effect of a clean line along the water.
Valley Ranch
Larger two-story homes along canals and greenbelts in north Irving often have layered rooflines. We split front and rear into separate zones, so the street view can carry color while the back stays soft. Canal-side backyards especially benefit from a gentle evening setting.
SH-114 and SH-183 corridors
Hotels and commercial buildings along these highways are seen by heavy traffic and airport visitors. A lit roofline improves visibility and keeps the property looking cared for every night. Hotel canopies and drive-up entries are easier for tired travelers to spot after dark.
Toyota Music Factory area
Restaurants and venues near the entertainment district can run event colors on show nights and warm white the rest of the week. Saved scenes make changes quick for managers who are already busy. Timers keep everything consistent across shifts and closing staff.
Heritage District homes
Neighborhoods near downtown Irving and the Heritage District have classic brick ranch homes with straight eaves. A single warm white run updates the look after dark, and holiday color is a tap away. Porch and garage edges can join as their own zone.
Seasonal Displays or a Permanent System?
We do both, so the comparison is fair. Our seasonal program serves Irving businesses, hotels, HOA entrances, dealerships and large venues with custom design, leased commercial-grade product, in-season maintenance, removal and storage. Irving homes are served with permanent lighting.
Many commercial properties use both. Permanent channel carries brand color and roofline light all year, and seasonal décor like lobby trees, wreaths and garland adds holiday depth inside and out.
Seasonal: big holiday display, then removed
Permanent: all-year brand and holiday color

Irving Cost Drivers
Homes and buildings are quoted from measurements, using these factors.
Linear footage
Total measured length of roofline or building edge is the primary factor. Commercial facades with long parapets need more channel than most homes. We measure every run before quoting.
Zones and scheduling
Separate zones for entries, rooflines and patios add controller capacity and wiring, and allow different colors and hours for each area. Entries might stay lit later than rooflines, for example.
Height and lift access
Two-story homes need ladders and staging; taller commercial buildings may need lifts. Access and height directly affect crew time and equipment. We note lift needs at the survey so the quote is accurate.
Work-hour limits
Commercial installs scheduled early, late or around tenant hours take more planning. We discuss timing upfront so the plan fits your building. Tenant notices can be coordinated.
Facade complexity
Canopies, columns, parapet steps and inside corners add fittings and labor. Clean, straight edges are faster to finish with a precise line. We count fittings during the survey.

Irving Permanent Lighting FAQ
Have a question we didn’t cover? Call 972-620-9560 or request a free quote online.
Do you install permanent lighting on commercial buildings?
–
Yes. We light offices, hotels, restaurants and retail in Las Colinas and across Irving. We plan runs along rooflines, parapets and entries, program brand and holiday scenes, and schedule work around business hours. Certificates of insurance are available before work begins, and one office coordinates the project.
Can the lights show our brand colors?
–
Yes. PermaLites 365 can display a wide range of colors. We save your brand colors as a scene and schedule them for business hours, then switch to holiday or event scenes on the dates you choose. Changes later take only seconds in the app.
Can you provide certificates of insurance?
–
Yes. We carry liability insurance and workers' compensation, and certificates of insurance are available for landlords, property managers and HOAs before work begins. Tell us who needs to be listed and we send the certificate ahead of install day, so building management can approve access without delay.
Will the channel show on a modern facade?
–
We match the channel finish to the building trim and mount it along existing edges, so it reads as part of the architecture. Most people only notice the system when the lights are on. Bronze, black and white finishes cover most buildings.
Can homeowners in Valley Ranch get permanent lights?
–
Yes. We install PermaLites 365 on homes across Irving. Larger two-stories usually get separate front and rear zones, and we provide an HOA-friendly layout drawing if your community reviews exterior changes. Patios and pool decks in back can run a softer setting on their own timer.
How do I control the lights?
–
Through the PermaLites 365 app on your phone. Change colors, brightness and effects, save scenes and build schedules. Several people can share control, which helps for businesses with more than one manager. Schedules keep running even when nobody is on site.
Do lights hold up to North Texas weather?
–
Our summers top 100 degrees, spring brings hail and some winters bring ice. The channel sits under the edge, sheltered from direct impact, and connections are sealed. If storm damage occurs, call our office to schedule a service visit. Sealed connections help.
How is permanent different from your seasonal holiday lighting?
–
Seasonal is leased lighting we install, service, remove and store each year, which Irving businesses use for big holiday displays. Permanent is installed once and lit any night. In Irving, homes are served with permanent systems. Some businesses use both programs.
How soon can you visit an Irving property?
–
Irving is close to our northwest Dallas office, so site visits are usually easy to schedule. Fall fills fast for every lighting crew, so reach out in late summer for a holiday-ready install. Commercial projects may need extra time for approvals.
Can we add holiday décor too?
–
Yes. For commercial properties we also design and install lobby trees, wreaths, garland and other seasonal décor. Permanent channel handles the exterior edges, and décor adds holiday character inside and at entries. One office coordinates both services. Ask about it at your visit.
