Permanent outdoor lighting • Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry (SD&G)
Permanent lighting for every season
Professionally installed exterior lighting that looks clean by day and gives you complete creative control after dark. Designed for everyday elegance, holidays, special occasions, and commercial properties in Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry (SD&G).
Custom design. Professional installation. Built around your property.
The difference
Beautiful lighting without the seasonal hassle
Seasonal lighting asks a lot of you. Ladders in cold weather, clips that let go in the wind, tangled strands in a bin, a weekend lost putting them up and another taking them down, and a dark exterior for the rest of the year.
A permanent system changes the arrangement. The lighting is designed for your building, installed once by professionals, and stays quietly in place. It is discreet when it is off and ready the moment you want it, whether that is a soft warm white on an ordinary Tuesday or full colour for a celebration.
Daytime detail. The track follows the trim line so the exterior still reads as your house, not as decoration.
Our Warranty
Every installation includes 1 year of labour coverage and 5 years of parts.
Four reasons people install it
One system, used all year
Most Ottawa owners buy permanent lighting for one reason and end up using it for four.
Elevate your home
Refined warm white along the rooflines and architectural details gives the property a finished look every evening of the year.
Celebrate any occasion
Change colours and effects for holidays, birthdays, game days, and community events, then return to everyday lighting when you are ready.
Set it and schedule it
Control the system from your phone. The exact scenes, zones, and scheduling options depend on the system installed, and we confirm those in writing.
Installed to belong
Track is measured to the building and mounted along the existing lines so the hardware sits quietly against the trim rather than standing out.
Where we work

A family home and a storefront have different priorities. Choose the path that fits your SD&G property.
Year-round use in Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry (SD&G)
Choose the mood, not the season
Select a use to see how the same system changes character through the year.
A quiet, finished look every evening
Soft warm white along the roofline defines the shape of the property after dark. It reads as architecture rather than decoration, which is how most owners run the system for the majority of the year.
Ready for the season without the ladder
Change the colours from your phone when the season arrives, then change them back the following week. Nothing goes up, nothing comes down, and nothing waits in a box in the garage.
Birthdays, anniversaries, homecomings
Set the exterior to mark the day. A birthday colour, a graduation, a welcome home. Small gestures that people notice from the street.
Your colours, on the roofline
Put your team on the front of the house for the playoffs, then return to warm white when the series ends.
Better evenings in the back yard
Light the deck, patio, or pergola at a comfortable level so people can stay outside longer without harsh floodlighting.
A property that presents itself after hours
Hold your brand colours through the year and adjust for campaigns, long weekends, and community events without hiring a crew each time.
A property that is easy to see
A lit exterior makes entrances, steps, and driveways easier to read at night, for your family and for anyone arriving after dark.
How it works
Four steps from first call to first evening
A clear process, with a written plan before anything is installed.
01
Request a quote
Send us a few details about the property and what you would like lit. We will get back to you to arrange the next step.
02
Discuss the property & design
We look at the rooflines, trim, access, and the areas that matter most to you, then talk through what a clean layout looks like on your building.
03
Approve the lighting plan
You receive a written plan and quote covering the runs, the mounting approach, and the schedule. Nothing proceeds until you are comfortable.
04
Installation & walkthrough
Our installers complete the work and tidy the site, then walk you through the controls so you can run the system with confidence.

Control
The system does what you tell it, from your phone
The point of control is not the feature list. It is that changing the look of your home takes a few seconds instead of a Saturday.
We will confirm the exact control app, colour range, scheduling, and smart-home options in writing with your quote, once the system for your property is selected.

Common questions
The questions we hear most
Straight answers, including the parts that depend on your specific property.
How much does permanent outdoor lighting cost?
Cost depends on the length of roofline being lit, the height and shape of the property, the number of separate runs, and how much of the exterior you want covered. A single-storey bungalow with one clean roofline sits at one end of the range and a large multi-gable home or a commercial building sits at the other. We provide a written quote after reviewing the property so the figure you see reflects your actual home or building.
Will the system be visible during the day?
The intent of a permanent system is that it reads as part of the building rather than as decoration. The track is installed tight to the roof edge or trim line and follows the existing architectural lines, and colour matching is chosen to suit your fascia and soffit. During your consultation we will walk the property and show you exactly where the track would sit before anything is installed.
Can I use the lights throughout the year?
Yes. Most owners run a soft warm white for everyday evenings, then change the look for holidays, birthdays, a game day, or a summer gathering on the patio. That year-round use is the main reason people choose a permanent system over putting lights up and taking them down each season.
How are the lights controlled?
Control is handled from your phone. The specific colours, brightness settings, saved scenes, zones, scheduling, and smart-home options depend on the system installed on your property, and we will confirm those details in writing with your quote rather than describe features your system may not include.
Can permanent lighting handle Canadian winters?
Permanent exterior lighting is designed to stay on the building through every season, including snow, ice, and freeze-and-thaw cycles. Manufacturer temperature and weather ratings vary by product, so we will provide the published ratings for the exact system we recommend for your property.
How long does installation usually take?
Timing depends on the size of the property, the roof height and access, and the number of runs in the design. Most residential projects are completed in a focused visit, and larger or commercial projects are scheduled in stages. Your quote will include the expected schedule for your project.
