How We Build a Keller System
Larger homes deserve a real design, so every project starts on paper.
01
Level-by-level roof plan
Many Keller homes step from aone-story garage to a two-story main roof with hips and turrets. We map each level so lines meet cleanly at every transition and corner.
04
Rear-yard patio zone
Backyards with pools and outdoor kitchens get a separate warm white zone, so evenings outside have gentle light while the front of the house shows whatever scene you choose.
02
Placement for stone fronts
Light washing over stone looks different from light over siding. We plan brightness and placement so textured fronts glow warmly instead of looking harsh or uneven.
05
Hidden daytime profile
Channel color is matched to your fascia and mounted tight under the eave, so the system disappears in daylight even on tall front elevations that face the street.
03
HOA drawing and description
You receive a layout drawing, channel color and a plain description of how the system mounts, which is what most architectural committees want to see before approving.
06
Walkthrough before we leave
We pair the PermaLites 365 app, save holiday and everyday scenes, set a sunset schedule and show you how to change color and brightness on your own.
Why Tall Keller Rooflines Favor Permanent Light
Keller is known for spacious lots, mature trees and large family homes. Those tall, layered rooflines look stunning lit, but hanging seasonal strands on them means a long day on second-story ladders every November, then again in January.
A permanent track handles that once. After install, the hardest part of holiday lighting is picking a scene. The same channel provides soft white curb appeal on ordinary nights and color for the Fourth of July, Halloween and Keller ISD game days.
No second-story ladder work each season
Clean lines across hips, gables and turrets
Separate zones for front, sides and back
Soft white curb appeal every night
The Keller Install Path
01
First conversation
Tell us about your home and what you want lit. We set a site visit and ask about HOA requirements so the plan fits from the start.
02
Measure every level
We measure each ridge, eave and gable, confirm trim color and power, and look at the house from the curb and the backyard.
03
Design and HOA packet
You receive a drawing, quote and written description ready for your HOA. We answer committee questions if any come up while they look it over.
04
Install and adjust
The crew installs channel and LEDs, routes wiring and tests every zone, fine-tuning placement at corners and roofline transitions.
05
Program the year
We set up the app, save scenes for upcoming holidays and build schedules, then show you how to make changes yourself.
Keller Neighborhoods and Landmarks We Design For
Keller sits in northeast Tarrant County between Southlake, Colleyville, North Richland Hills and Fort Worth's Alliance area. Tree cover, lot size and HOA rules vary a lot here, so each design starts at the curb.
Keller Town Center
Shops, restaurants and offices around Town Hall and the town center are busy on evenings and weekends. Permanent edge lighting keeps buildings visible and on-brand, then switches to holiday scenes on a schedule when the season starts. Late dimming keeps energy use modest.
Large-lot neighborhoods
Many Keller homes sit on generous lots under mature trees. We walk the street first to see which edges are visible through the canopy, and focus channel where it will actually be seen from the road. That walk saves wasted channel.
Keller ISD Friday nights
With several Keller ISD high schools, Friday nights are a big deal in fall. Save your school colors as a scene, schedule it for home games and let the house return to warm white the next morning. Playoff weeks only need a date change.
Old Town Keller
The historic district along Main Street has smaller storefronts and older buildings with character. Warm white along rooflines and entries suits that setting, and brand or holiday colors can be saved for special weekends. Timers can follow shop hours exactly.
Keller Parkway and US-377
Retail and service businesses along the main corridors face steady evening traffic. A lit roofline signals the business is open and keeps the property looking cared for, with certificates of insurance available for landlords. Work can be timed around opening hours.
Permanent and Seasonal, Side by Side
We are a Christmas Decor franchise, so we also run a seasonal program. In Keller it serves commercial properties, HOA entrances, dealerships and municipal sites: custom design, leased commercial-grade product, in-season service, removal and storage. Keller homes are served with permanent lighting.
HOAs often use both. A seasonal display dresses the community entrance for December, while homeowners inside use permanent systems that work all year. We can plan the two to complement each other.
HOA entrances: seasonal displays each December
Homes inside: permanent systems all year
Seasonal includes service calls during the season
Permanent removes yearly install visits
One crew can coordinate both looks
Keller Cost Factors
Large, detailed homes vary widely; these inputs shape each quote.
Total feet of roofline
Wide homes with side-entry garages and rear elevations add length quickly. We price from measured feet of channel and LED, not from house square footage.
Number of zones
Separate front, side and patio zones add controller capacity and wiring. They also let each part of the house run its own color and schedule.
Height and staging
Two-story and taller sections need more staging, safety equipment and time on site. A home with mixed heights is priced section by section for accuracy.
Tree-covered sightlines
Mature trees can block parts of a roofline. Lighting only the visible edges can reduce material needed, which we discuss during the curbside walk. Winter views can differ.
Hips, valleys and turrets
Each roofline break needs cuts and fittings. A complex roof takes more parts and more careful labor than one long, uninterrupted eave across the front.

Keller Permanent Lighting FAQ
Have a question we didn’t cover? Call 972-620-9560 or request a free quote online.
Will my HOA approve permanent lights?
–
Many Keller HOAs review exterior changes, and permanent lighting usually counts. We provide 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 process before scheduling.
Can you install on a tall or steep roof?
–
Yes. Tall and steep rooflines are common in Keller, and our crew works on them regularly with proper staging and safety equipment. Height affects install time, so we account for it in the quote rather than surprising you later. Staging is planned at the site visit.
Will the system show during the day?
–
We match the channel to your trim and mount it tight under the roof edge. On most homes it blends into the fascia from the street, especially on stone fronts where the eye goes to texture first. Two-tone trim gets a quick discussion first.
Can I light the back of the house separately?
–
Yes. Rear elevations and patios can run as their own zone. Many owners keep a soft warm white in back for evenings by the pool while the front shows holiday color or team scenes. Each zone keeps its own timer and brightness, so you can set the back to turn off earlier than the front.
What can the app do?
–
Change colors, brightness and effects, save scenes and build schedules. Lights can turn on at sunset and off at a time you choose, and scenes can switch automatically on dates like Christmas or the Fourth of July. Family members can share access from their own phones.
Does installation affect the roof?
–
The channel fastens along the fascia under the roof edge rather than through shingles, and wiring stays out of gutters. If you replace the roof later, call us first so we can remove and reinstall the affected runs. Drainage keeps working normally.
How does permanent compare with yearly holiday lighting?
–
Seasonal lighting means two visits a year and light for one holiday. Permanent means one install and light for every occasion. In Keller, our seasonal service is for commercial properties and HOA entrances, so homes here go permanent. Skipping the January takedown is the part owners mention most.
Can I add more runs later?
–
Yes. Start with the front and add the rear, a detached garage or a pool cabana later. New runs join the same app, and planning spare controller capacity on day one makes those additions simpler. Phasing also spreads the project over time.
Do you light businesses at Keller Town Center?
–
Yes. Permanent edge lighting suits retail, restaurants and offices. We plan runs along rooflines and entries, program brand colors and holiday scenes, schedule work around business hours and provide certificates of insurance on request. Brand colors can run every night between holiday seasons.
When should I book for the holidays?
–
Fall is the busiest season for lighting crews. Contact us in late summer or early fall to leave time for the site visit, HOA review and install, so your lights are running before Thanksgiving. Earlier requests get more flexibility on dates.
