Permanent Lighting in Medina

A slim aluminum track screwed into the soffit along your roofline with LEDs seated inside, matched to your trim color so it disappears by day. You run it from your phone.

Medina is not a standard install and we don't quote it like one. Properties out here have tall peaks, long rooflines, and usually more than one building worth lighting. That's a bigger job than a typical suburban house, and it's also a better-looking one.

Track color-matched to your trim and screwed into the soffit
True 3000K warm white plus 16 million colors

In Your Pocket

Control Everything From Your Phone

Standard string lights do one thing at a time. Ours don't, because we wire each light to behave as its own pixel. Every bulb takes its own color and brightness from the app, so a single run can sit in quiet white tonight and chase color across the peaks tomorrow.

Your everyday setting is true 3000K warm white, a mellow, faintly golden white like a table lamp, nothing like the icy glare of low-grade LEDs. Switch over to color and the full RGBW chips (a red, a green, a blue and a white one in every light) mix up to 16 million shades. On every job we set the lights 10 inches apart.

Long rooflines are normal out here, and that's where 48 volts earns its keep. Power doesn't sag across a long wing, so the final light on the far gable burns just as bright as the first one by the garage.

No subscription, ever, and your phone pairs with the lights by Bluetooth and WiFi. Your sunset-to-sunrise schedule tracks the real time the sun goes down all year, which counts when your house sits at the end of a dark drive. Build scenes you can call up instantly for holidays, a game night or a stretch away from home, and control individual lights where your layout allows. Before we leave, it's set up on your phone and running.

Before the Sun Goes Down

Invisible During the Day

Nobody wants a house that looks half-decorated in July. The daylight view is usually what wins people over, because there's so little to see.

Your lights ride in a narrow track, and we fasten that track to the soffit, the underside of the eave, tucked into the shadow the roof already throws. We don't attach anything to gutters or shingles, on the house or on any building we light.

We finish the track in your trim's color. Trim with an RAL code, the reference number the paint and building trades use to pin down a shade, is trim we can match. From the end of a long drive the track looks like part of the fascia, and the control box stays plugged in, out of view, in the garage.

Right under the eave you might spot a low, clean edge. From your drive or the road you'll see a well-kept home, then at dusk it lights up however you've set it.

How It Works

Our Lighting Installation Process

Bigger properties need a careful sequence. Here is ours, from the first measure to the night you run it yourself.

1
Free Design Consultation
We come out to your Medina property, walk every roofline and measure it, including the tall peaks. We talk through the looks you want, match the track to your trim, and settle how we'll reach the high spots before you get a firm written quote.
2
Installation
We fix the trim-toned track under each eave and gable, into the soffit, and a lift comes along only when a peak needs it. We plug the control box in inside your garage, normally at the ceiling outlet serving the door opener, where nobody bumps it loose.
3
App Onboarding
Our tech installs the app for you, saves a few starter scenes and programs the sunset-to-sunrise schedule. You'll dim, recolor and swap scenes with your own thumbs while we're still there to help.
4
Warranty and Walkthrough
We register the warranty, leave you the written terms, and walk through every scene with you after dark to be sure you're comfortable taking it from there.

Why Permanent Lighting Beats Seasonal Lights

On a property with this much roofline, the choice usually comes down to three routes: string up temporary lights yourself, have a crew put lights up and take them down every season, or install lights once and leave them. Here they are next to each other.

Pricing

Permanent Lighting Pricing

Medina is the largest kind of this job there is, so let's be straight about what drives it. Feet of track is the main factor, and properties here carry a lot of it. Corners are the second, because every peak and return is a cut and a join.

Height is the third, and it's the one specific to out here. Reaching a tall peak safely takes more setup, a lift only when the house needs one, and always more time than working at gutter height.

We come out, measure the whole property free, and hand you a firm number that holds. On a bigger job, Klarna financing at 0% interest spreads the cost, and phasing it across seasons works too.

Planning the Scope

Lighting for Outbuildings

Plenty of Medina properties have more than one building we could light: the house, a detached garage, a guest house, a barn. This is the talk that shapes your price, and lighting everything the same way rarely looks as good as lighting the right things well.

We go through each one with you at the design consultation, then you choose what goes on the quote and what waits.

Building	What the lights do there	How we usually see it
Front of the main house	Gives the property its face from the drive	Start here. The rest can follow.
Entry peak	Draws the eye to the front door	The most effect for the least track.
Detached or attached garage	Connects the whole front elevation	Worth adding when it faces the drive.
Guest house	Makes two buildings read as one place	Good if visitors come and go at night.
Barn or outbuilding	Looks sharp and helps after dark	Depends how often you are out there at night.
Back and side rooflines	Mostly seen by you	Often the part to leave for later.

Timing

When to Book Your Install

A property this size takes longer to measure, longer to order and longer to install than a suburban house. Booking early is worth more here than almost anywhere.

January to March Get Measured Our quietest stretch. Book now and you pick your install date rather than take what is left.
April to June The Best Window Dry roofs, long days, full crews. This is when we do our best work on a large property.
July to September Still Wide Open Good conditions, and the right time to get phase one done if you are staging the job.
October to November Our Busiest Everyone wants it running for the holidays. Book by September or you are taking a December date.
December onward Tighter We still install in the cold, because we screw the track on rather than glue it. But snow on a tall roof edge moves dates.

The Question People Here Actually Ask

Lighting for Tall Peaks

The same question comes up again and again in the Hamel and Medina groups: who can actually do the tall peak. It's the reason plenty of people here have put this off.

Homes up to three stories are routine for us. That covers the large majority of Medina homes, including the two-story entry features and the deep architectural peaks that give these houses their shape.

When a house needs a lift, we bring one. Only then, and it needs somewhere solid to set up and clear overhead space, which out here is rarely a problem. Anything taller than three stories gets a proper look on site when we measure, so it's priced in rather than discovered on the day.

And if we can't do it safely, we say so. We'd rather hand back one peak than take the job and find out on install morning. You'll hear that at the measure, not afterward.

Reviews

Medina Lighting Reviews

A good install has straight track and steady spacing, and you can see both from the drive. Once our crew leaves, take a walk out and look. Notice a crooked stretch of track, a gap that isn't even, or anything that looks off? Give us a call inside 72 hours and we'll be back to make it right, no charge.

Being Straight With You

Lighting for Long Driveways

Plenty of people here ask whether roofline lighting will sort out a dark quarter-mile driveway. It won't, and we'd rather say that now than let you find out.

What it does is give the drive a destination. From the road your house stops being a shape in the trees, and anyone arriving after dark, guests, deliveries, or you at six in the evening in December, can see where they're heading.

Lighting the drive itself is landscape lighting, which is a different job with different fixtures. If that's what you actually want, tell us at the measure and we'll be honest about whether we're the right people for it.

Why People Here Pick Us

Why Choose Wally’s

Four things worth comparing against the other quotes.

We Price the Height

Tall peaks get measured and priced at the visit rather than becoming a change order on install day.

Five Years on the Labor

Not just the product. Lifetime on the lights, ten years on the system, five on labor including the visit out.

The Whole Property Measured

Even when you only buy the front, so phase two is already measured and planned.

We Do the Rest Too

Gutters, windows, washing. You can book them on the same visit as the lighting, one trip up the drive instead of three.

Budgeting

0% Interest Financing Available

A property with long rooflines and tall peaks is a sizable lighting project, and it helps to look at it as a monthly payment.

We offer 0% interest financing through Klarna. Get the full system up now and pay it down in installments, with no interest on the balance.

We cover Klarna during your free design consultation, laid out next to the firm price for the whole property, so you can see everything before you commit.

72Hours

Our Worry-Free Guarantee on every job

(612) 216-7894

1. How much do permanent lights cost in Medina?

Three things set the number here: feet of track, corners and height. Properties in Medina carry a lot of all three. Reaching a tall peak safely takes more setup and more time than work at gutter height. We measure free, and the firm price we give you holds.

2. Can you install permanent lights on a tall peak?

Usually yes. Homes up to three stories are routine for us, including two-story entries and deep gables. We bring a lift only when a house needs one. We look at anything taller on site first. If we cannot do a peak safely, we tell you at the measure.

3. Will permanent roofline lights light up my driveway?

No. On a long, dark drive, roofline lights give arrivals something to aim for, but they do not light the drive itself. That is landscape lighting, a different job with different fixtures. Tell us at the measure and we will be honest about whether we fit.

4. When should I book permanent lighting in Medina?

Early. January to March is our quietest stretch, and you pick your install date. October and November are our busiest months. Book by September if you want it running for the holidays.

5. Can permanent lights be installed in winter?

Yes. We screw the track on instead of gluing it, so cold alone does not stop us. Snow on a tall roof edge is what moves a date.

6. Do you install permanent lights in Hamel?

Yes. Hamel is part of Medina, and we serve the whole city. Every appointment is on site, so we come out, measure and quote for free.

7. Are permanent lights worth it on a large property?

If you put up holiday lights now, a tall peak means real ladder risk every year. A permanent system goes up once. After that, warm white, holiday color and vacation scenes all run from your phone with nobody climbing.

8. Where do permanent Christmas lights plug in?

In your garage. The control box plugs into a garage outlet, usually the ceiling one serving the door opener, where nobody bumps it loose. Nothing plugs in outdoors.

9. What if I'm not happy with the results?

Then we make it right, free of charge. Walk the property after we are done, and if anything falls short, call us at (612) 216-7894 within 72 hours. We come back and fix it at no cost to you. No invoice, no argument, no fine print. That is the Wally's Worry-Free Guarantee.
