Is there a difference between lighting a house and outlining one? It is a fair question whether architectural means anything or is just a nicer word for lights. Outlining a building traces its edges.

Curb appeal gets planned entirely for daylight The front of a home absorbs a lot of budget. All of it assumes the sun is up. After dark the house is a dark shape with a porch light on it. Half the hours anybody sees the front of your home are after sunset for a good part of the year, and there is nothing to see.Put together, these are not expensive changes. What it requires is deciding to treat the night view as a real thing, which is the part almost everybody skips. The ho

The reason homeowners call Hanging Christmas lights sounds simple until you are on the ladder in a cold wind. Between the ladder, the cold, and the strand that dies the day after you finish, plenty of homeowners hand it off. What you should be getting A full Christmas light installation is more than a crew showing up with your old strands. It starts with a design for the house: what gets outlined, which trees get wrapped, how it looks from the road. Then the install, handl

Before any hardware goes up Nothing gets installed until somebody has looked at your house. That visit covers which edges to run, where the power is, and how you want to use it. The consultation is free and it does not commit you to anything. The design comes before the price Every roofline is a little different, which is why one plan does not fit every home.

Outdoor lighting covers more than one job Ask ten people around Greenville what outdoor lighting means and you will get several answers. Some mean the roofline. Some mean the walk and the trees. Some mean the side yard that never gets any light. They are different problems, and they get solved differently. Roofline and architectural lighting Permanent outdoor lighting puts an LED channel along the roof edge, color matched so it disappears in daylight, and controlled from a

Start with what it is Permanent outdoor lighting is a fixed LED system installed along the architecture of a building and left in place year round. Where string lights come and go, this lives on the house. The LEDs sit inside a track that gets color matched to the trim, so the daytime look of the house does not change much. Where it goes on a property The main roofline is the anchor, and gables, dormers and porch edges get added where they help. On a commercial building th

Before anything goes on the house The first step is a look at the property, not a crew on the roof. Somebody walks the property, talks through what you are after, and figures out which lines are worth lighting. There is no charge for it, and you are not signing anything to have it. The design is drawn for your house Every house is a little different, which is why one plan does not fit every home. A good design follows the architecture that is already there: the main roofli

Why LED and nothing else Anything mounted permanently on a roof edge has to hold up outside every day. That rules out the bulbs that go in a tub in January. The case for LED is heat, power draw and durability, and all three matter when the thing never comes inside.You do not have to know any of it to buy well. But it is worth knowing what you are buying, since the detail in the answer says a lot. The people who explain it plainly are usually the ones who install it carefull
