Wally's builds and installs its own Signature 48-volt permanent lighting system. We screw a slim track into your soffit, color-matched to your trim so it blends in during the day, and every light along it is its own pixel: true 3000K warm white for everyday nights, or any of 16 million colors from the phone app, with no monthly fee. Holidays are the obvious use, but the same system covers everyday accent lighting, security lighting, game days and parties. In a climate where December roofs are icy, the strongest argument is that nobody has to climb up there in the first place.
All Home ServicesThe control is what separates this from a string of lights. Every light is its own pixel, meaning the app can send a different color and brightness to each one rather than lighting the whole run a single color. That is what makes a quiet warm-white glow and a full multi-color pattern the same piece of hardware.
For everyday use you get true 3000K warm white, the soft, slightly golden white of an ordinary indoor bulb rather than the harsh blue-white of cheap LEDs. When you want color, the lights are full RGBW: red, green and blue plus a dedicated white, for 16 million colors covering holidays, team colors and anything else. We space the lights 10 inches apart on every install.
Because our Signature system runs at 48 volts, power holds up along the whole run. In plain terms, the lights at the far end of the house are as bright as the ones nearest the control box, with no fading on the far side.
The app works over Bluetooth and WiFi, with no monthly fee. Sunset-to-sunrise schedules follow the real sunset and sunrise as the seasons shift, which in Minnesota matters more than it sounds. Favorite looks save as one-tap scenes for holidays, game day or while you are away on vacation, and where your layout allows you can pick out individual lights. We set it all up on your phone before we leave, so most nights you never open the app at all.
Scenes changing live from the app.
A permanent lighting system is a long-term purchase, so it is backed in writing on three levels. Both the product you look at every night and the install behind it are covered.
Lifetime
Lifetime warranty on the lights
Manufacturing defects on the LEDs are covered for as long as you own the system. The part you see every night stays backed.
10 Years
10-year warranty on the system
The track, power supply, controller and wiring, the backbone of the install, are protected for a decade.
5 Years
5 years labor and materials
All-inclusive for five years: parts, labor and the service visit itself, handled by our local team.
The single biggest worry people have is that the house will look like it has holiday lights up all year. It does not, and this is the part that genuinely surprises people when they see one in person.
The lights sit inside a slim track that we screw into your soffit, the flat underside of the eave, up where the roof already casts a shadow line. We never fasten anything to your gutters or shingles.
We color-match the track to your trim, and we can match any trim color that has an RAL code (the standard color reference that paint and trim makers use). From the street it reads as part of the house rather than a strip of bulbs, and the control box that runs it all stays out of sight in your garage.
In daylight the system blends in. Up close you might notice a clean low-profile line where the track sits. From the curb it looks like a well-kept house. Then at night it becomes whatever you set it to.
Same house, same evening. Drag the slider to switch the lights on.
An unhurried order of work, so the system looks right, works right, and is yours to run before we leave.
We walk the house, measure the roofline, talk through the looks you want and match the track to your trim color. We look at height on site too, so any issue comes up now, and you leave with an exact written quote.
We screw the color-matched track into the soffit under the eaves and gables, bringing a lift only if your house needs one. The control box plugs into an outlet in your garage, usually the ceiling outlet your garage door opener uses, so it stays out of the way and never needs unplugging.
Before we go, we set up the app on your phone, build your first scenes and program a sunset-to-sunrise schedule, then show you how to dim, switch colors and change scenes yourself.
We register the product warranty, hand over the written terms, walk every scene with you after dark, and check you are comfortable running it yourself.
Pricing is by the linear foot of roofline lit, plus a one-time controller that runs the system. A simple single-story roofline needs far less track than a large home with many peaks, so your number comes from a precise measurement at the free consultation rather than a guess.
What is firm is that this is a one-time install replacing a recurring seasonal expense, and every quote is written, itemized and confirmed by a person before any work starts.
Pairing your consultation with a house wash is worth considering so the whole exterior looks its best when the system goes on for the first time.
Most people weigh this against the two things they already know: pulling a box of temporary lights out every year, or hiring a crew each season to hang and remove them. Here is how the three compare over time.
A year-round system, built for your home.
Low cost, higher effort.
We do the work, you enjoy the results.
Different Paths. A Brighter Home.
Permanent lighting costs more up front and less over time. If you only want lights for one holiday and down by New Year, our seasonal holiday lighting service is the better fit, and we'd rather tell you that.
A few of the looks our customers run on their homes.
A soft warm-white outline that makes the house look finished after dark, which is how most owners run it most nights.
One tap switches the whole roofline to red, white and blue for the Fourth of July, then back to warm white when the holiday is over.
Purple and gold for game day, set from the app in seconds, with no strings to hang and nothing to take down after.
ReviewsPermanent lights are supposed to look clean and even, which makes the finished install easy to check. Take a look from the street after we pack up. If you spot a section of track that isn't straight, uneven spacing, or anything that doesn't look right, tell us within 72 hours and we'll come back and fix it for free.
Plenty of Minneapolis neighborhoods limit how long holiday lights can stay up, and homeowners often assume that rules out a permanent system. In practice it is usually the reverse. Because the track is effectively invisible during the day and shows nothing when switched off, permanent lighting tends to sit comfortably inside guidelines written to restrict visible year-round decorations.
There is no seasonal clutter for a board to object to. No strings, no clips, and nothing glowing at two in the afternoon in July.
That said, every association writes its own rules and some are stricter than others. Confirm your specific guidelines before installation. We can provide product details and photographs of the low-profile track to go with any approval request.
We cover Minneapolis, St. Paul and the surrounding metro. Check your city or ZIP:
We work out of one office in New Hope and cover Minneapolis, St. Paul and the surrounding metro from it. One local company, not a franchise or a dealer network, so the people who quote your job are the people who do it and the people you call afterward.
A permanent lighting system is a premium purchase, and premium purchases are usually easier to judge monthly than all at once.

We price it by the linear foot of roofline lit, plus a one-time controller. A simple single-story home needs less track than a large home with many peaks, so the exact figure comes from a measurement at your free consultation.
For most homeowners who put up lights every year, yes. You stop climbing a ladder every December and stop storing tangled strings. The same system also gives you everyday warm white, game-day colors and security lighting, all from your phone.
A slim track is screwed into your soffit, color-matched to your trim. The LEDs sit in the track, 10 inches apart, and each one can be set on its own. A control box in your garage runs the system, and you control it from our phone app.
They are built to stay up year after year. Our warranty backs that: a lifetime warranty on the LEDs against manufacturing defects, 10 years on the track, power, controller and wiring, and 5 years of labor and materials. The quality of the install is also covered by our 72-Hour Worry-Free Guarantee.
Along the roofline, in the soffit under the eaves. That keeps the track tucked out of sight during the day. We walk the house with you at the free consultation and plan every run.
In your garage. The control box usually plugs into the ceiling outlet your garage door opener uses, so it sits up out of the way and never needs unplugging. We pick the spot with you at the consultation.
No. The system runs from our own app, which handles schedules and scenes by itself, so the lights come on at sunset and go off at sunrise without a smart speaker involved. We would rather tell you that before you book than after.
That is what it is built for. The system is designed to stay outside year-round through cold, snow and freeze-thaw, which is the main reason to install it permanently instead of wrestling with temporary strings every December.
Yes. The track is held on with screws, not glue or tape, so it can come down. Taking it down leaves small screw holes in the soffit.
Look the install over in daylight and again at night: the track lines, the color match, how each scene looks lit. If anything about the installation workmanship falls short, call (612) 216-7894 within 72 hours and we come back and correct it at no charge. The product itself is separately covered by your written warranty.
