What We Deliver in North Richland Hills
Each part of the job is planned around your property, not a template.
01
Era-specific design
A 1970s ranch and a 2010s two-story need different plans. We study the roofline, decide which edges to light and keep the outline proportional to the house.
04
Multi-zone control
Light the front, garage and back patio as separate zones. Each can run its own scene, brightness and schedule from the same app on your phone.
02
Fascia check
On older NRH homes we inspect the fascia and trim before mounting. If wood needs repair, we tell you upfront so the track goes onto a solid surface.
05
Business-ready scenes
Shops and offices can run brand colors after hours and switch to holiday looks in late November, all on automatic timers that follow posted hours.
03
Color-matched channel
The track color is chosen to match your trim, so it blends in by day whether your house has white, brown or painted composite fascia.
06
Service from our team
Our Dallas office takes service calls on the systems we install, so you call one local number if anything needs adjusting after the first season.
Older Ranch or Newer Two-Story, It Fits
North Richland Hills grew in stages. The southern neighborhoods near Loop 820 have many long, single-story ranch homes, while the northern part of the city has larger, newer houses with taller, more complex rooflines.
Permanent lighting works on both. On ranch homes, a continuous warm white line along the eaves looks clean and modern. On two-story homes, tracing gables and the garage creates depth. In both cases, the track is matched to the trim and stays out of sight by day.
Ranch homes: one continuous eave line
Two-story homes: peaks and garage traced
Older fascia inspected before mounting
Trim-matched track on every style

Lighting Across NRH and the Mid-Cities
North Richland Hills sits in northeast Tarrant County in the Mid-Cities, linked to Fort Worth and DFW Airport by TEXRail.
HomeTown NRH
The walkable HomeTown development mixes homes, shops and restaurants. Permanent lighting suits its front porches and storefronts, adding a warm evening glow that fits the neighborhood feel, with holiday color easy to add in December. Coordinated scenes along a block look especially good during the holidays and summer events.
Near NRH2O and Iron Horse
Homes around the NRH2O Family Water Park and Iron Horse Golf Course areas include both established and newer streets. We tailor the layout to each roofline and can add a back zone for golf-course or greenbelt views. Back zones can be dimmed for quiet evenings.
Birdville ISD game nights
Save Richland Royals or Birdville Hawks colors as scenes, schedule them for home games and playoffs, and let the house show school spirit through the fall without anyone climbing a ladder. A timer switches the house back to warm white the next evening, so you never have to remember.
Rufe Snow Drive corridor
Businesses along Rufe Snow Drive benefit from a lit roofline or parapet that catches drivers' attention after dark. Brand colors run on a timer, and seasonal scenes can be scheduled months ahead. It is a steady, low-maintenance way to stay visible through the darker months of the year.
South NRH ranch streets
Neighborhoods near Loop 820 have many single-story brick homes with long eaves. A continuous line of warm white is often all they need to look updated and inviting at night, with color saved for holidays. Mature trees are planned around carefully so branches do not rub the track.
Comparing Seasonal and Permanent Lighting
As a Christmas Decor franchise, we install traditional seasonal displays as well as PermaLites 365, so we can compare them fairly. In North Richland Hills our seasonal work is for businesses, HOA entrances, dealerships and civic sites, with leased commercial LEDs, in-season service, takedown and storage included.
For homeowners in NRH, permanent lighting is the service we provide. It ends the yearly install and removal, covers every holiday, and gives you nightly accent lighting the rest of the year.
Seasonal: leased, maintained and removed for you
Permanent: no yearly install or takedown
Permanent: everyday accent and security light

What Drives an NRH Quote
These details determine the cost of your system.
Length of the design
Total roofline lit is the largest factor. A long single-story ranch can still use plenty of track, while a compact two-story might need less than expected.
Zones and controllers
Each independent zone adds wiring and controller capacity. More zones cost more, but give you more control over how each area of the property looks.
Fascia repairs
If older trim is soft or damaged, it should be repaired before mounting. We point out any issues during the visit so you can plan for them.
Power availability
An exterior or garage outlet near the start of the run keeps things simple. Longer runs or new outlets add work to the job. We map the route before quoting.
Height and access
Taller homes, steep roofs and tight side yards make access harder and take more setup time, which affects labor on installation day. We plan access during the visit.

What exactly is permanent lighting?
–
It is a series of LEDs housed in a low-profile track mounted along your roof edge and left up year-round. With PermaLites 365, you control the lights from an app, choosing colors, effects and schedules for holidays, events or everyday accent lighting.
Will it work on my older ranch home?
–
Yes. Older ranch homes are a great match, since a single line along the eaves gives a clean, updated look. We inspect the fascia first, and if any trim needs repair, we let you know before installation so the track mounts securely.
Can people see the track during the day?
–
It is designed to blend in. We match the track color to your trim and mount it tight under the roof edge, so from the street it looks like part of the house. The lights only stand out when they are switched on.
Do you hang seasonal Christmas lights on homes in NRH?
–
Yes. We hang seasonal Christmas lights on North Richland Hills homes, plus businesses, HOAs and dealerships; see residential Christmas light installation in North Richland Hills. Permanent lighting stays up year-round instead, so it is worth comparing the two at the design visit.
Can I schedule the lights to change by holiday?
–
Yes. Save scenes for each holiday and set them to start and end by date. The app switches automatically, so your house moves from Halloween to Thanksgiving to Christmas looks without you remembering to do anything. You can still override any scene with one tap.
Is it useful for security?
–
A white scene along the roofline adds steady light around entries, driveways and side yards. Many owners schedule it every night from dusk to late evening, and it helps the home look occupied while they are away. Brightness is adjustable.
How long does the installation take?
–
Most homes take a single day. Larger homes, steep roofs or designs with several zones may take a little longer. We finish by testing each zone and walking you through the app. Older homes may need fascia work first, which we flag in advance.
Who handles repairs?
–
We handle service calls on the systems we install. Call Christmas Decor by Carruthers Decorative Lighting at 972-620-9560, Monday through Friday 8am to 5pm, and we will set up a visit with the team that knows your layout. We are glad to help.
