Permanent Holiday Lighting for Tanglewood Rooflines
Permanent Christmas lights in Tanglewood make the most sense on the long, clean rooflines found all over the neighborhood. New construction here often has crisp fascia, deep overhangs, and painted trim that form a natural channel for a slim LED track, and the original ranch homes offer long, uninterrupted eave runs that a single line of light shows off well. Glacier mounts low-profile RGBW track under the eave, color-matched to your trim, and sets up the app so you control every scene from your phone. Nothing gets hauled out of the garage each November.
We plan the layout around the lines that matter from the street. On a hip-roofed ranch, that is usually one continuous run along the front and sides, carried around the corners so the line does not just stop. On a two-story new build, it may be the lower eave plus the main gables, with the upper roof left dark so the house does not look outlined like a diagram. The controller plugs into an existing outlet in the garage or near the eave, and the low-voltage leads are routed out of sight.

One System, Every Occasion
Permanent lights are not only for Christmas. Save scenes for Halloween, July 4th, or an Astros or Texans game, plus a birthday or a dinner on the back patio. The most useful scene on a Tanglewood lot is often the plain one: warm white at low brightness every night, which lights the walk on a lot set far back from the street and keeps the house from sitting dark while you travel. Everything runs on schedules you set once in the app, or a tap on your phone when plans change.
Learn how our permanent Christmas lights are designed and installed, from the consult to the app setup, and compare the two approaches in our permanent vs. traditional lights guide. If you love the classic look of big bulbs and garland, or want wrapped live oaks and pines alongside your permanent roofline in December, our Christmas light installation in Tanglewood handles that seasonal layer, including in-season service calls. The two work together: only the seasonal pieces come down in January, while the track stays put and keeps working for every holiday after.

Before You Install Permanent Christmas Lights in Tanglewood
Permanent track is a one-time install that lives on your house for years, so a few details deserve attention up front. These are the questions that matter most on Tanglewood homes, from matching the track to painted wood or dark modern fascia to making sure your Wi-Fi actually reaches the controller.
Match the track to the trim, not the brick
The track should disappear into whatever it touches. On an original ranch, that is usually painted wood fascia, often white or a soft neutral against brick. New transitional builds tend toward smooth fiber-cement trim in white or black, and modern homes may have dark metal fascia or deep stucco overhangs. Bring us the paint color or a close daylight photo of the trim. Where a house has copper or half-round gutters, the track mounts below them on the fascia so the gutter line stays clean.
Test your Wi-Fi where the controller goes
On a deep Tanglewood lot, the garage can sit a long way from the router, often at the back of the property or on the far side of the house. The controller needs a steady connection to respond to the app. Stand where the controller will live, usually beside an existing outlet in the garage, and check the signal on your phone. If it drops to one bar, add a mesh Wi-Fi point in the garage or the nearest back room. We can confirm the spot at an on-site consult or before install day.
Plan your zones before the track goes up
Zones decide what you can control separately. Splitting the front elevation from the back lets you run a party scene over the patio while the street side stays warm white. A side-entry or detached garage can be its own zone, and so can a guest house or pool house. Zones are far easier to plan at install than to add later, so think through how you use each side of the house: where you entertain, which rooms face the street, and what you want lit when you are away.
Building or remodeling? Plan before the trim is painted
If you are building or remodeling, bring us in while the exterior is still open. We can work with your builder on where the controller will sit, so their electrician can place an outlet there, and match the track to the final trim color before paint day. The track then mounts after the paint cures and before the gutters go up. If your plans are going through your association's architectural approval, ask whether exterior lighting should be shown on the drawings. Planning early means the track goes on once, with no patching or repainting later.
