Christmas & Permanent Light Installation in Trussville, AL

Seasonal displays and year-round architectural lighting for Trussville homes and Cahaba Project streets.

Lighting built for Trussville rooflines

Trussville is two things at once, and they want different work. The Cahaba Project is a New Deal-era planned neighborhood of modest, carefully detailed houses on tree-lined streets, where the daytime appearance of a fixture matters as much as the lit result. Out from there, the growth east and north along 11 and 59 is modern subdivision housing (straight fascia, seamless gutter, two-story fronts) that suits a permanent track without argument.

On the newer side permanent lighting is the obvious recommendation. In the Cahaba Project we are more careful: shallower fascia, older gutter profiles and a coherent streetscape mean a seasonal display designed around the trim is often the better answer, and where a track does go in it needs to be genuinely invisible in daylight.

What a Trussville install actually takes

Two different sets of clips on the same job list. The newer houses hang quickly but sit tall, and a walkout rear puts the top run further off the ground than the frontage suggests. The older Cahaba Project houses are reachable but far less uniform: fascia, drip edge and gutter vary house to house, sometimes along one street, so the clip is chosen per edge on site.

There is commercial frontage along the main corridors and downtown around Main Street and Chalkville Road, mostly retail and office, plus church and school work. Those get scheduled around business and service hours and are usually permanent rather than seasonal.

What we install

Christmas & Seasonal

Start-to-finish holiday displays. The design, commercial-grade lights, installation, service in season, takedown and storage are all ours.

JellyFish Permanent

A slim permanent track under the roofline. The app controls it, with millions of colors for holidays and everyday evenings.

Commercial & HOA

Storefronts, common areas, offices and entrances. Installs are scheduled around your business hours.

Christmas and seasonal light installation in Trussville

Seasonal lighting in our hands is a full service. You will not be sold a box of lights from a shelf. The display gets designed around your roofline. Commercial-grade product gets cut to fit your house and installed. If something goes dark, it gets serviced, and that lasts the whole season. After the holidays the display gets taken down and stored until next year. It never lives in your garage, and it never gets crushed between seasons.

Booking order is how we fill the calendar. An earlier booking gets an earlier install, so the earliest dates are taken by those who called first. Lights on before the first weekend of December means signing up well ahead of the season.

Permanent outdoor lighting in Trussville

Permanent lighting is a slim track fixed under the roofline. Once up, it stays up all year, and it reads as trim from the street. The app is the control, so nobody climbs anything. Choose warm white for an ordinary evening and color for December. For a fall Saturday there is crimson and white or orange and blue. And there is always off.

We install JellyFish permanent lighting and are an authorized JellyFish dealer. At your free design consult, we inspect the roofline, fascia and gutters, explain the installation plan, and provide a quote for your property.

Commercial and HOA lighting in Trussville

Our work includes storefronts, common areas, offices and entrances as well as homes. Commercial installs are scheduled around your business hours so that no business day is lost. When a property is larger, the job can be phased over several visits.

An HOA, a landlord or a historic district may have rules for fixture color, for brightness or for the place a track may sit. Take them to the consult. The design is drawn to them from the start, so no exception has to be asked for later.

How it works

01

Free design consult

We begin by walking the property. We measure the roofline, and after that you are shown how the finished run will look. No charge, no obligation.

02

Custom install

The crew installs to your approved plan. Commercial-grade product is cut and fitted on site. A one-size kit is never used.

03

Service & takedown

When something goes dark, we come back. On seasonal work, removal is part of the job, and we store your lights until next year.

Trussville questions we get asked

Our Cahaba Project house has a metal shingle roof. Can you even clip to that?
Yes. A metal shingle edge behaves differently under a clip than asphalt does, and plenty of Cahaba Project roofs still carry it. The district guidelines call for street-visible roofs to be metal shingle or to look like it, faithful to the original 1930s houses, so it's what we plan for until the walkaround says otherwise. We work off the fascia and drip edge and nothing gets fastened through the roof covering. It's a slower walkaround than a new build, and the clip gets chosen edge by edge.
Does the city's design review have to approve a light track?
We'd ask the city before assuming either way. Here's why. The Cahaba Project construction guidelines say solar panels, skylights, satellite dishes and other external utility systems should sit where they aren't visible from the street. A permanent track is arguably in that family. That's a question the city's Design Review Committee (the guidelines call it the Design Review Board) should answer for your block rather than one contractor should guess at, so give us the address and we'll take it to them before anything is ordered.
The pitch on these houses is steep. Is that a ladder job?
Not on the front. Most Cahaba Project roofs run about 10:12, which is steep enough that the run gets set from a lift or from the ground.
The Cahaba Project was built as 287 homes from a handful of plans. Will ours look like everyone else's?
The outline will be close to identical. On those streets that's part of the appeal. What varies is ninety years of individual work: replaced gutters, added porches, enclosed carports. Two houses off the same 1930s plan can present completely different edges by now, which is why the quote comes after the walkaround. Christmas light installation is the more common choice on those blocks.
We're out on the newer side near 11, nothing like the Project. Anything different for us?
Honestly, not much. Continuous fascia and seamless gutter take a track without argument, so the day goes into height and access. Same story in Chelsea, where most of the city is that build.
