100,000 hours
rated LED life — run sunset to midnight and that is decades, not seasons
Lifetime warranty
on the lights, plus 1 year on our installation
Unlimited colors
every light addressed on its own, set from your phone
No takedown
nothing comes off the house in January, ever
One system, every night
Invisible by day. Any color by night.
Every light on the run is addressed on its own, which is why one install covers Christmas, Halloween, a game day and an ordinary Tuesday. Try it:
Design render
The default, about 300 nights a year — the same tone as the lamps inside, on a sunset-to-bedtime schedule.
Plain pricing
What permanent lighting costs
It's priced by the linear foot, so the only honest quote is a measured one. Here are the rates before anybody comes out — no packages to decode, no subscription, and no yearly hanging fee ever again.
House rooflines
$35
per linear foot
Eaves, rakes, peaks and gable lines on the house itself.
Detached garage
$35
per linear foot
Same rate as the house — same system on a separate structure, back to one controller.
Dormers
$40
per linear foot
A little more: each dormer is its own short run, with its own corners and its own feed.
Maintenance (optional)
$300
per year
One check-over a year — runs, connections, controller. Twice a year is $600.
How the math works: at $35 to $40 a foot, 100 feet of roofline is $3,500 to $4,000 and 200 feet is $7,000 to $8,000. What decides your number is how many feet we actually measure, and of what. That's why nobody can quote this honestly sight-unseen, and why the design call is free.
The comparison
You were never buying lights. You were renting labor.
Hanging and takedown is a bill that arrives twice a year and goes up most seasons. Permanent lighting moves that money into the house once.
Hanging lights, every year
- Book an installer in October and hope there's a slot
- Pay to hang in November — the price goes up most seasons
- A run comes loose in a storm; you chase somebody to fix it
- Pay again in January to take it down
- Store six bins of lights until next year
- The other eleven months, the front of the house is dark
Permanent lighting, once
- Installed once, by the crew that already cleans your house
- Warm white every night on a schedule you set
- Unlimited colors on demand — set from your phone in seconds
- Nothing to take down, so nobody is on your roof in January
- 100,000-hour LEDs with a lifetime warranty on the lights — nothing to replace each year
- Lit rooflines, peaks and walkways all year, not for six weeks
How it works
Measured, installed, then it's yours
We measure your house
You send a photo of the front of the house when you book — that is the one thing that gets the design right. Then we walk your rooflines together on a Google Meet: house, garage, dormers, and any walkway or landscape runs you want lit. Per-foot pricing only works if somebody measures, so we do it before you pay anything, and you get the number on the call.
We install the track
The channel is set into the roofline and matched to your trim, the lights sit inside it facing out, and the wiring is tucked behind it. One outdoor outlet and a controller, and there is nothing hanging off your house.
You run it from your phone
Pick the color, the brightness and the schedule. Warm white sunset-to-bedtime is what most people leave it on; holiday colors and patterns are a few taps when you want them.
Want lights for December only?
That's a different service and we do that too — designed, installed, maintained through the season, taken down in January and stored for you. Permanent lighting is for people who are done repeating that.

Permanent Lighting — FAQ
How much does permanent lighting cost?
Gallo Bros prices it per linear foot, $35 to $40 depending on what is being lit. It is per foot because a 90-foot roofline and a 220-foot roofline are not the same job — so the only honest number comes from measuring your house. That is a free design call over Google Meet: you send a photo when you book, walk the rooflines with a rep on the call, and get the exact price on it.
How long do the lights last, and are they under warranty?
The LEDs are rated at 100,000 hours — run sunset to midnight, that is measured in decades, not seasons — and the lights carry a lifetime warranty, with one year on our installation. Maintenance is optional on top: $300 for one visit a year, or $600 for two.
What colors can I set?
Any of them. Every light on the run is addressed on its own and controlled from your phone, so you get warm white on a schedule as the default, plus unlimited colors, patterns and scenes when you want them — holidays, game days, a birthday, or just a dimmed white on a Tuesday.
Is this the same as permanent Christmas lights?
It is what people mean when they search for permanent Christmas lights, but calling it that undersells it. About 300 nights a year it is plain warm white — the same tone as the lamps inside your house — lighting the front of your home after dark. December is a setting, not the point.
Can you see the track in the daytime?
Barely. The track is set into the roofline and matched to your trim, with the lights sitting inside it facing out — from the street in daylight it reads as part of the roof edge. Nothing hangs off the house: no bulbs, no clips, no cords down the siding.
Do the lights stay up all winter?
Yes, and they are built to. Nothing comes down in January, so nobody gets on your roof in the cold, there is no takedown to schedule, and there is no bin of lights in the garage. That is the whole point of a permanent system.
Do I have to be home for the estimate?
Yes, and that is deliberate. Because it is priced by the foot, we measure your actual rooflines, dormers and any landscape runs you want lit, then give you the number on the call. Pick a time on the form and you will get a Google Meet link and a text reminder.
