Your Kennedale System, Start to Finish
One insured crew handles every part of the job.
01
Custom roofline layout
Older ranch homes and newer two-stories often sit on the same street here. We design each layout for the house in front of us rather than reusing a standard template.
04
Starter scenes saved
Before we leave, we save warm white, Christmas, patriotic and team-color scenes in the app. You can rename, edit or add new looks whenever you like.
02
Channel that blends in
We match the aluminum channel to your fascia color and set it tight under the eave, so in daylight the system looks like part of the trim rather than added hardware.
05
Automatic dusk schedules
Lights turn on at sunset and off at the time you choose. The schedule adjusts through the year, so the house is always lit at the right moment.
03
Neat controller install
The controller is mounted in a protected spot near an outlet, and wiring follows the eave cleanly, so nothing hangs from gutters or runs across the yard.
06
Easy follow-up support
Call 972-620-9560, Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm, for app help or a service visit on any system we installed. A real person answers the phone.
Old Ranch or New Build, the Same Clean Line
Kennedale grew in stages, and it shows in the rooflines. Classic single-story ranches have long, low eaves that take one continuous run beautifully. Newer homes on the south and east sides bring more gables, two-story sections and stone accents.
We treat each one on its own terms. A ranch might need a single zone of warm white along the front and garage. A newer two-story may call for separate front and back zones, plus careful corners where rooflines step up.

Kennedale Install in Five Steps
01
Request a visit
Call or send your address and tell us what you want lit. We find a time that works and ask a few questions about the home.
02
Survey the roofline
We measure every edge, confirm trim color, find an outlet and photograph corners and gables that need special attention.
03
See the plan
You get a layout of runs and zones with a quote from real measurements. Start with the front and expand later if you prefer.
04
Crew installs
The crew mounts channel, seats LEDs, connects the controller and tests every zone, then cleans up before leaving the property.
05
Learn the controls
We walk you through colors, brightness, effects and schedules in the app, and save the scenes you want for the months ahead.
Around Kennedale and Southeast Tarrant County
Kennedale sits between Fort Worth and Arlington, with US-287 crossing town and Lake Arlington along its eastern edge. Our crews already work these southeast Tarrant County corridors throughout the year.
Kennedale Parkway businesses
Shops, restaurants and service companies along Kennedale Parkway see steady evening traffic. A permanent outline in brand color makes a building easy to spot and signals it is open, then switches to holiday scenes on a set schedule. Timers can follow store hours.
Near Lake Arlington
Homes on the east side of town near the lake can be seen from more than one direction. We plan front and rear zones so each side looks intentional, with a softer setting in back for quiet evenings. Each side keeps its own timer.
Wildcats game nights
Kennedale High football brings the town together on fall Fridays. Save the Wildcats colors as a scene, schedule it for home games and let the lights switch back to warm white the next morning. Basketball season can reuse the same saved scene.
US-287 frontage
Commercial properties along the highway compete for attention from fast-moving drivers. A crisp, lit roofline is visible from a distance after dark, and we provide certificates of insurance for landlords and property managers. Late-night dimming keeps energy use reasonable while still marking the building for passing traffic.
Established ranch streets
Older neighborhoods with brick ranch homes and mature trees suit a single warm white run. We check which edges show through the trees before designing, so channel goes where it is actually visible. Porch and garage edges can join as a second zone.
Should Kennedale Go Permanent or Seasonal?
We offer both, so we can lay it out plainly. Our seasonal holiday program in Kennedale serves businesses, HOA entrances, dealerships and municipal properties with custom design, leased commercial-grade product, in-season service, removal and storage. Homes in Kennedale are served with permanent lighting.
For a business, the question is how often you want light. A one-season December display suits seasonal. Year-round visibility and brand color, plus holiday scenes on a schedule, suit a permanent system.
Seasonal: December display for commercial sites
Permanent: homes and year-round business lighting
Seasonal: leased, installed and stored for you
Permanent: one install, no yearly visits
Both: designed and installed by our crew
Kennedale Cost Factors
Quotes come from measurements, and these details move them most.
Measured footage
The total feet of roofline you light sets the amount of channel and LED. A compact ranch needs far less material than a larger two-story with wings.
Zones and control
One zone covers the simplest setups. Separate front, back and garage zones add controller capacity and wiring, and let each area run its own color and timer.
Single or two-story
Low single-story eaves install quickly. Second-story sections need more staging and safety equipment, so a home with mixed heights is priced section by section. We note every height at the visit.
Outlet access
An exterior outlet near the controller location keeps things simple. If power needs to be routed farther, we note it at the site visit so you can plan ahead.
Corners and gables
Each gable, inside corner and bump-out needs cuts and fittings. Straight ranch eaves keep the parts list short, while busy rooflines take more careful labor.

Kennedale Permanent Lighting Questions
Have a question we didn’t cover? Call 972-620-9560 or request a free quote online.
What is permanent lighting?
–
It is a low-profile aluminum channel mounted along your roof edge with LEDs seated inside. It stays up all year, and you control color, brightness, effects and schedules through the PermaLites 365 app on your phone. Think holiday lights and accent lighting in one system.
Can I see the track during the day?
–
Very little. We match the channel to your trim color and mount it tight under the eave, so from the street it reads as part of the fascia. Most people only notice it once the lights are on. Matching finishes cover nearly every trim color.
How long does installation take?
–
Many single-story Kennedale homes are finished in one visit. Larger or more detailed homes can take longer. We give you a realistic estimate at the site visit so you can plan your day around it. You do not need to stay home the whole time.
Can I run different colors for each holiday?
–
Yes. Save scenes for Christmas, Valentine's Day, the Fourth of July, Halloween and Wildcats games. Schedules can switch scenes automatically on the dates you choose, so the whole year is set up in one sitting. Birthdays can get scenes too.
Is it built for Texas weather?
–
North Texas brings 100-degree summers, spring hail and occasional ice. The channel sits sheltered under the eave, and we seal connections and route wiring with that in mind. If a storm causes damage, call our office for a service visit.
Will installation damage my roof?
–
The channel fastens along the fascia below the roof edge, not through shingles, and wiring stays out of gutters. If you plan to reroof, call us first so we can remove and reinstall the affected runs cleanly. Gutter cleaning carries on as usual.
Is permanent better than having seasonal lights installed each year?
–
For homes in Kennedale, permanent is what we offer, since our seasonal program here is for commercial, HOA and municipal properties. Permanent means one install, no yearly setup or storage, and light for every occasion. Owners often say skipping the January takedown matters most.
Can my business use permanent lighting?
–
Yes. Shops, restaurants and offices along Kennedale Parkway and US-287 use it for brand colors, holiday scenes and visibility. We schedule work around business hours and provide certificates of insurance for landlords and managers. Late dimming keeps energy use modest.
What if something stops working?
–
Call 972-620-9560 during office hours. We troubleshoot by phone first, since many issues are app settings, and schedule a service visit if hardware on the system we installed needs attention. Most questions are resolved on that first call, and anything that needs hands-on work is booked for a visit.
