What a Rowlett System Covers
Each design accounts for how the home is seen from the street and, often, from the lake.
01
Street and lake zones
We split the front and rear elevations into separate zones. Light the street side for guests while the lake side glows softly, or light both for a holiday show.
04
Automatic scheduling
Set a dusk-to-midnight timer once and forget it. Holiday scenes can start on a date you choose and return to white the morning after. Vacations are easy too.
02
Patio-friendly whites
Rear zones can run a warm, dim white for evenings on the deck, bright enough to see by but gentle enough to keep the lake view in focus.
05
Clean controller setup
We find a protected spot for the controller, often in the garage, and run wiring neatly so nothing hangs loose along exterior walls. Lakeside humidity makes tidy, protected wiring worth the effort.
03
Color-matched channel
The track is chosen to match your trim, so by day it reads as part of the house. That matters on rear elevations seen from boats and docks.
06
Service when needed
We take service calls on systems we install. One local number reaches the team that planned your zones and knows how your system is wired.
Light the View From the Water
Lakefront homes along Lake Ray Hubbard are seen from places most houses are not: boats, docks, the shoreline and homes across coves. A roofline lit only on the street side leaves the back of the house dark when it is on display most.
Permanent lighting fixes that with zones. A rear zone can hold a soft white on summer nights, join the front for the Fourth of July, and go full color in December, all scheduled from the app.

Our Rowlett Installation Steps
01
Request a visit
Call 972-620-9560 or send a request. Tell us whether the home is on the lake so we plan both elevations.
02
Measure both sides
We measure the front and rear rooflines, check trim colors and locate outlets, noting how the house looks from the water.
03
Plan the zones
You review the zone layout and starter scenes. We provide written details if your HOA requires approval. Adjust anything you like.
04
Install and test
Our insured crew mounts the track and controller, routes wiring neatly and tests each zone on its own.
05
Set your scenes
We connect the app, program your schedules and show you how to adjust each zone before we leave.
Around Rowlett and the Lake
Rowlett sits on the east shore of Lake Ray Hubbard, mostly in Dallas County with a corner in Rockwall County.
Lake Ray Hubbard shoreline
Homes along the coves and shoreline are the most visible houses in town after dark. We design rear zones that look intentional from the water and keep patio lighting comfortable, so the system adds to evenings outside rather than overwhelming them.
Downtown Rowlett
Shops, restaurants and offices near Main Street and the DART station can use a discreet track for brand colors after dark and switch to holiday scenes on schedule. It is a simple way to look open and inviting without a seasonal install crew.
Rowlett Eagles nights
Save a game-night scene in Eagles colors and schedule it for home games. The roofline switches back to everyday white the following night, and playoff runs can stay lit all week long. Fourth of July colors are popular on the lake as well, when boats gather to watch the fireworks.
Waterview
Homes around the Waterview golf course often have larger two-story elevations and rear views across the fairways. Tracing the main gables and adding a back zone gives these homes a finished look from the street and the course alike. Golfers walking the course in the evening see the back of the house first, so a tidy rear zone matters as much as the front.
President George Bush Turnpike
Businesses visible from the Turnpike corridor can use permanent lighting to stand out at night. Brand colors run on business hours, and seasonal scenes change automatically without anyone climbing a ladder or booking a holiday crew. Lit facades also help drivers spot the business at night.
Permanent at Home, Seasonal for Businesses and HOAs
As a Christmas Decor franchise, we install seasonal holiday lighting and permanent systems. In Rowlett, our seasonal Christmas service is for commercial properties, HOA entrances, dealerships and other large sites: custom design, leased commercial-grade LEDs, installation, in-season service, removal and storage.
For Rowlett homeowners, permanent lighting is the option we offer. It handles Christmas beautifully, then keeps working for lake nights, holidays and everyday curb appeal, with no yearly install or takedown.
Seasonal: HOA entrances and commercial frontages
Seasonal: removed and stored after the holidays
Permanent: Rowlett homes, lit all year
Both planned by the same local designers
What Affects a Rowlett Quote
We price after measuring, and these are the main variables.
One side or both
Lighting only the street elevation is the smaller project. Adding the lake side, patio and rear gables increases track length and usually adds a zone.
Trim details
Dormers, peaks and decorative trim add corners and short runs. We help you choose which features to outline so the result looks balanced. Fewer corners can look cleaner.
Height and slope
Rear elevations on lake lots often sit higher because of grade changes. Taller edges and steeper pitches take more equipment and time to reach safely.
Power access
An outlet near the run keeps installation simple. Longer wire runs, especially to rear elevations, add time to the install day. We plan the shortest clean route.
Number of zones
Separate street, lake and patio zones add controller capacity and wiring. They also give you the most flexibility for everyday and holiday use. Most lake homes use at least two.

Rowlett Permanent Lighting FAQ
Have a question we didn’t cover? Call 972-620-9560 or request a free quote online.
Can the lake side be controlled separately from the front?
–
Yes. We design separate zones, so the street side and lake side can run different scenes or schedules. Many owners keep a soft white on the back for evenings outside and a brighter look out front. For parties or holidays, both zones can join the same scene in one tap.
Will the lights be too bright for the patio?
–
Not if we plan it that way. The app lets you set brightness and color temperature, so a rear zone can glow warm and low while you sit outside, and brighten for holidays or parties. You control each zone independently from your phone.
Can you hang seasonal Christmas lights on my Rowlett home?
–
Yes. We hang seasonal Christmas lights on Rowlett homes, plus businesses, HOAs and dealerships; see residential Christmas light installation in Rowlett. Some owners pick permanent lighting instead because it covers Christmas, game days and every other season without a crew coming back.
How does lake weather affect the system?
–
Lakefront homes see more wind and storms. The system is designed to stay outdoors all year, and we mount it tight under the roof edge for protection. If a storm ever damages a section, call us and we will schedule service.
Is the track visible from the water during the day?
–
Very little. We match the channel color to your trim, so from boats and docks it looks like part of the fascia. Mounting it neatly and level matters most on rear elevations, so we take extra care there. We review the result with you from the yard before we leave.
Do Rowlett HOAs need to approve it?
–
Some neighborhoods require it. We provide a written description of the track color, placement and controls for your submission and schedule the install once you have approval. If the committee asks for changes to placement or color, we revise the plan with you and update the written details.
How long will installation take?
–
Most homes take about a day. Lakefront homes with tall rear elevations or several zones can take a bit longer. We test every zone and walk you through the app before leaving. You will know how to change scenes that same night.
Can businesses near downtown use permanent lighting?
–
Yes. Shops, restaurants and offices can show brand colors after dark, change to holiday scenes on a schedule and keep entries well lit, all without booking a seasonal crew each year. Schedules can follow business hours, and certificates of insurance are available for landlords and property managers who need them on file.
Who handles repairs?
–
We do. Call Christmas Decor by Carruthers Decorative Lighting at 972-620-9560, Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm. We handle service calls on systems we install and keep your zone layout on file. That helps the technician arrive prepared and fix issues quickly, usually without needing to rediscover how your system was set up.
