The idea behind permanent holiday lights
Permanent holiday lights stay on the house. That single sentence is most of the appeal. The hardware is a low profile LED channel installed along your roofline, matched to the color of your trim so daylight hides it.
More than one holiday
Most people call about Christmas. What they use it for after that is broader. Halloween orange, Fourth of July red

And on the three hundred ordinary nights a year, it goes back to plain warm white, which is honestly the setting that gets used the most.
What the installation looks like
It starts with a free consultation. Somebody walks the property, asks what you are after, and draws a design for your house rather than a generic one. The install is done by the installers, not handed to you as a kit. After that, the system is yours and it runs from your phone.
What it looks like with the lights off
The fair objection to permanent holiday lighting is what the house looks like in July. The track is color matched to your trim and mounted tight along the edge, so it reads as part of the house rather than an attachment.
Who these suit
The people who get the most out of it do it every year without fail. Anyone who would rather not be on a ladder in December has an obvious reason to look at it. And it fits people who wanted the house lit at night anyway, holidays or not.
When to have the conversation
Everything happens ahead of the date you want it lit. That sounds obvious until you are three weeks out. A consultation, a plan, and a day on the schedule all take place on a calendar, and the calendar does not care when you thought of it.The upside is that it is a one time sequence. After the first install, the holidays are a setting on an app rather than a project.What catches most people off guard is how rarely they open the app after a while. Set the season in advance and nothing needs a decision each night. Dusk to whatever hour you choose, on a schedule, every night of the season.
The other option, honestly stated
Not everyone wants a permanent system, and that is a reasonable position. They also do traditional holiday light installation, with takedown and off season storage included in how they work. Either way, start with the free consultation. EverCrest Lighting can be reached at (864) 252-1732 or
