Coverage and cost

Choose the roofline you want to light

Think about where you'll enjoy the lights, whether that's arriving home, sitting on the patio, or seeing the house from the street. We'll measure the sections you choose and explain how adding side or rear coverage changes the estimate.

Front Accent

Front roofline only

$3,000-$4,000

The Sweet Spot

Front and side rooflines

$4,500-$6,500

The Full Treatment

Full perimeter coverage

$7,000-$10,000+

These ranges are for typical homes. Every home is different.

Measured footage, roof height, mounting surfaces, and equipment access affect the final scope. We also confirm track finish, power, controller placement, and the wire route before installation.

Hyde Park and its historic homes

Hyde Park was first platted in 1891. Shipe Park and the Elisabet Ney Museum, the sculptor's former home and studio, are familiar landmarks in the neighborhood. Its historic districts help preserve the area's older homes and streets.

If your home is a historic landmark or contributes to a historic district, check the city's review process before making exterior changes. We'll help identify the proposed track finish and mounting position for that conversation.

Zilker Park and Barton Springs

Zilker Metropolitan Park sits where Barton Creek meets Lady Bird Lake. It's home to the spring-fed Barton Springs Pool and events including the Austin City Limits Music Festival and the Trail of Lights.

At home, you can save a Christmas setting for the season and use white accent lighting the rest of the year. The lights stay installed, and you change the colors and schedule in the app.

Before we install at your Austin home

Give historic-property questions time before installation

If your home is a historic landmark or contributes to a local or National Register historic district, check Austin's review process before planning exterior alterations. City staff can advise on the proposed mounting details; routine maintenance and in-kind repairs have different rules.

Design for the home you have

Track finish, mounting position, access to upper sections, and visible wiring all affect the plan. Bring any HOA or property restrictions to the consultation so those details can be reviewed before material is cut. Required submissions and approvals remain the homeowner's responsibility.
