Why It Matters

Permanent Curb Appeal Year-Round

Under-eave lighting is one of the most impactful exterior upgrades a DFW homeowner can make. Installed permanently in your home's soffits, these fixtures illuminate your roofline, highlight your home's architecture, and add security lighting — all without the clutter of exposed conduit, seasonal clips, or cords running along your gutters.

Unlike holiday lights or temporary accent lighting, under-eave systems are hardwired, weatherproof, and completely hidden during the day. At night, they create a dramatic, polished look that most neighbors can't stop asking about. Many of our customers use them for holidays, parties, game days, and everyday ambiance — all controlled from a smartphone app.

  • You want permanent exterior lighting without the seasonal hassle
  • Your home's roofline disappears at night
  • You want color-changing lights for holidays and events without reinstalling every year
  • Existing exterior lighting doesn't reach your soffits or roofline
  • You want to improve curb appeal and exterior security simultaneously

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does under-eave lighting cost in DFW?

Most under-eave lighting projects in DFW range from $1,500 to $4,500 depending on your home's perimeter, the number of fixtures, and whether color-changing or smart control systems are included. We provide a written quote after your free on-site assessment.

Are the lights visible during the day?

No. Properly installed under-eave fixtures sit recessed into your soffits and are virtually invisible in daylight. From the street, you won't see any fixtures, conduit, or wiring.

Can the lights change colors for different holidays?

Yes. Our RGBW (red, green, blue, white) systems support millions of color combinations and can be programmed to automatically switch to holiday colors on a schedule — Christmas, Halloween, Fourth of July, or any occasion you choose.

Do under-eave lights stay on all night?

Entirely up to you. We can set them on a timer, connect them to a sunset/sunrise schedule, or tie them to a smart home automation so they only run when you want them to.

Are the lights weatherproof?

Yes. All fixtures we install are rated for outdoor use and designed to withstand DFW's heat, cold, rain, and hail. They are not a seasonal installation — they're made to stay up year-round.

Will under-eave lighting increase my electricity bill significantly?

No. Modern LED under-eave systems use very little power. Running a typical home's under-eave lights for 6 hours per night typically costs less than $5–$10 per month in electricity.

They upgraded our electrical panel in one day. The electrician explained everything, kept the garage spotless, and even helped us understand which breakers controlled what. Incredible service.

I called at 10pm on a Saturday because half my house lost power. They had someone at my door within 45 minutes. Fixed a tripped main breaker and checked everything to make sure we were safe. Lifesaver.
