Permanent Lighting Installation in Troy and the Towns Around It
We mount app-controlled permanent lighting along rooflines across Troy and its neighboring towns. Each install is planned around the trim, gutters and power you actually have, so the track sits tight, the wiring stays hidden and the lights keep working through winter.

Where We Work
Most of our work is in Troy, plus the towns a short drive away: Watervliet, Green Island, Cohoes and Menands along the river, and Latham, Loudonville and Albany to the west. On the east side we cover North Greenbush, Wynantskill and Brunswick. If your street is near any of these, we can likely get to you.
A quote starts with us walking the roofline. We measure each run of fascia, note where the gutters and drip edge sit, and find the nearest outdoor outlet or the best spot for one. You hear what the layout involves before any track goes up.
What Shapes an Install Around Here
- 01
Older trim and mixed housing
The river cities have many brick and wood-frame homes built over a century ago, often with deep cornices, ornate brackets or fascia that has been patched more than once. The suburbs lean toward ranches, colonials and split-levels with aluminum or vinyl-wrapped trim. We match fasteners to what is under the surface, since a screw that holds in solid pine will strip out of soft or rotted wood. If a board is too far gone to hold track, we show you before mounting anything to it.
- 02
Snow, ice and freeze-thaw
Winters here bring heavy snow, ice dams along the eaves and many swings above and below freezing. We set the channel track so it does not trap meltwater behind it, keep it clear of the gutter lip and the paths where snow slides off, and seal each penetration so water cannot work into the fascia and split it on the next freeze.
- 03
Power and outlets
Permanent lighting runs on low-voltage power from a controller and power supply that plug into an outdoor outlet. Plenty of older homes have no exterior outlet near the eaves, or one without GFCI protection. We plan the power location early, because it decides where wire runs go and where the controller can sit protected from weather.

Permits and local rules
A plug-in low-voltage system often needs no permit, but adding a new outdoor circuit or outlet is electrical work that some municipalities want permitted and inspected. Rules differ from town to town, and some older blocks fall within historic districts that review exterior changes. We sort out what applies to your address before the install date.
