Your Mansfield System, Piece by Piece
Here is what you are getting when we light a Mansfield property.
01
Gable-by-gable layout
We map each peak and run so the design shows off the shape of the house instead of drawing one flat line across a busy elevation.
04
Automatic timers
Set the lights to come on at dusk and shut off at a time you choose. Scenes can switch by date so December starts itself.
02
Discreet mounting channel
The track sits under the drip edge in a color chosen to match your trim, which keeps it from standing out against brick or stone by day.
05
Insured installation
Our crew carries liability insurance and workers' compensation. Homeowners, property managers and business owners can request certificates of insurance before any work begins on site.
03
App with saved scenes
Store as many looks as you want: holiday palettes, team colors, a birthday scene and the nightly warm white that runs most evenings, each ready with one tap.
06
Follow-up service
We take service calls on everything we install, so questions after the first season go to the local team that built your layout, not to a call center.
Two-Story Homes Without the Ladder Season
Much of Mansfield's newer housing has tall front elevations, multiple gables and garages facing the street. Those homes look striking when outlined, but they are also the hardest to decorate safely each year.
A permanent system means the high work happens once, by an insured crew with the right equipment. After that, changing the display is a few taps in the app. You keep the dramatic outline and lose the annual trip up a two-story ladder.
High peaks lit without yearly climbing
Garage fronts and entries traced cleanly
Separate zones for front and back
Scenes switch on by date automatically
Our Mansfield Install Process
01
Schedule a visit
Call 972-620-9560 to set a time to look at the property and talk through how you want to use the lights.
02
Survey the roofline
We measure every edge and gable, check trim color against track samples, and locate outlets or circuits for the controller.
03
Review the plan
You see the layout, zones and track color choice, and we adjust until it fits the house and your budget.
04
Mount and wire
Our crew installs the track under the roof edge, hides wiring where possible and tests each section before packing up.
05
Learn the app
We set up scenes and timers with you, so you can run Christmas, game nights and everyday white yourself.
Mansfield Areas We Light
Mansfield spans mostly south Tarrant County, reaching into Johnson and Ellis counties, with growth along US-287 and FM 1187.
Historic Downtown Main Street
Older storefronts along Main Street can carry a permanent outline in brand colors most of the year, then shift to a coordinated holiday scene when the downtown season starts. No crew is needed each year, and nothing has to be stored.
FM 1187 neighborhoods
Newer subdivisions off FM 1187 have the tall, gabled fronts that permanent lighting suits. We usually trace the peaks and the garage line together, which gives a balanced look from the curb without lighting every edge. Separate zones let the garage glow on its own as a softer welcome on weeknights.
Mansfield ISD game nights
Save the colors for your high school as a scene, schedule it for game dates, and let the house cheer on the team every Friday in the fall. A timer switches it back to everyday white the next night. Playoff runs can stay lit all week.
US-287 corridor
Retail, restaurants and offices along US-287 see heavy evening traffic. A lit parapet or roofline improves visibility after dark, and owners can mark promotions, grand openings or holidays with a quick scene change. Timers can follow your posted hours. It is an easy upgrade for curb appeal.
Walnut Creek area
Established homes around Walnut Creek Country Club tend to have longer, lower rooflines, where a single continuous line along the eaves looks tidy and understated, especially in a soft warm white on ordinary evenings. Mature trees often shade these lots, so we plan around branches.
Why Not Just Hang Seasonal Lights?
We hang seasonal displays every year as a Christmas Decor franchise, so we know their strengths. In Mansfield that service is for businesses, HOA entrances, dealerships and municipal sites, where leased commercial-grade product, in-season service and removal make sense.
For Mansfield homes, we install permanent lighting rather than seasonal. It pays back in convenience every month of the year, not just in December, and it ends the recurring install cycle on tall elevations entirely.
Seasonal: commercial, HOA, dealership and civic sites
Permanent: homes and businesses wanting year-round use
Permanent: no annual removal or storage
Either way, one local design team
Factors Behind Your Mansfield Quote
We measure first and quote second, based on these details.
Total track length
Every foot of roofline we light adds material and labor. Tracing every gable costs more than a single eave line, but often looks far better.
Facade and trim
Stone, brick and siding mount differently, and irregular or older fascia takes more fitting. We account for both after seeing the house in person, never from a satellite photo.
Elevation height
Two-story and taller walls require lifts or extra ladder setups. Safe access on steep, high roofs is a real part of installation time, and we plan it carefully.
Distance to power
A nearby garage outlet keeps things simple. Longer runs to reach power, or lighting a detached structure such as a workshop, add wiring time to the project.
Zones and control
One zone is simplest. Separate front, back and garage zones need more controller capacity and wiring, but they let you run different scenes on each side.

Mansfield Permanent Lighting Questions
Have a question we didn’t cover? Call 972-620-9560 or request a free quote online.
What does permanent lighting look like during the day?
–
Mostly like trim. The PermaLites 365 track is mounted under the roof edge in a color matched to your fascia, so it blends in with the house. At night, the LEDs draw a clean outline in whatever color or scene you choose.
Is permanent lighting worth it on a two-story home?
–
Two-story homes are where it makes the most sense. The tallest, riskiest work happens once with our insured crew, and after that every holiday change is made from your phone. Nobody in the family has to climb a tall ladder again.
Can I light just the front of the house first?
–
Yes. Many owners start with the street elevation and add the back or sides later. We size the controller and plan wiring so additional zones can be connected in a future visit without starting over or replacing hardware. Starting small is a common choice for new homeowners.
Do you do seasonal Christmas lights for Mansfield homes?
–
Yes. We hang seasonal Christmas lights on Mansfield homes, plus businesses, HOAs and dealerships; see residential Christmas light installation in Mansfield. Permanent lighting stays up year-round instead, so it is worth comparing the two at the design visit.
How do I change colors?
–
Open the app, choose a saved scene or build a new one with any color and effect, and apply it. Schedules can switch scenes on set dates, so holiday looks start on their own while you are busy with everything else.
Do businesses on Main Street use this?
–
Permanent lighting suits storefronts well. Owners run brand colors most nights and change to holiday or event scenes as needed, without scheduling a crew, renting a lift or storing decorations between seasons. Brand colors also help customers spot the building from US-287 or downtown traffic at night.
Will installation damage my roof?
–
The track mounts to the fascia or under the roof edge rather than through shingles. We plan fastening points around the material on your home and show you the mounting method before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Who do I call if something stops working?
–
Call our Dallas office at 972-620-9560, Monday through Friday. We handle service calls on the systems we install, so the same team that designed and mounted your track comes back to diagnose it and get it working. We keep records of each layout.
Is your crew insured?
–
Yes. We carry liability insurance and workers' compensation for our crews, and we can provide certificates of insurance to homeowners, HOAs and property managers on request, before the job is scheduled. Commercial clients often need these for their files, and we send them promptly.
