What to Expect on Install Day: Permanent Holiday Lighting in DFW

Most DFW one-story installs are done in a single day. Two-story homes typically run 1.5 to 2 days. Here's exactly what happens on each.

8 AM — Crew arrival, ladder and material stage, drop-cloth your driveway. We confirm the design with you before any work begins.

9 AM – 12 PM — Aluminum channel mount under the drip edge, working corner-to-corner. We pre-paint the channel to your fascia color so it disappears by day.

12 PM – 3 PM — Bulb seating and wire pull through the channel, then transformer mount in a discreet exterior location (we'll show you where during the consultation).

3 PM – 4 PM — App pairing, scene programming (Christmas, Valentine's, Halloween, July 4th, warm-white default), and a full walk-through. You leave with the app installed and three favorite scenes saved.

Cleanup is total. We sweep magnetically for any stray screws and you'll never know we were there — except every night when you tap a button.
