Dad's not gettingon the ladderagain.

Warm white every night. Red and green in December. Tucked into your roofline so it disappears in daylight. One install, one app, and the box of tangled lights never comes out of the garage again.

The November routine

Every year, the same weekend gone.

You pull the ladder out the weekend after Thanksgiving. You untangle last year's strands and find a third of them dead. You spend a Saturday on the roof in a North Texas wind, then another one in January taking it all down. Then you box it up and do it again in eleven months.

We install once. After that it is a button on your phone.

A roofline lit in red, green and white for Christmas
Christmas, from the couch
Same track. One tap. No ladder.

Fastened, not clipped

Pick a look. Watch the roofline change.

The track screws into your trim lumber and the lights snap into it — one continuous low-voltage run back to a controller. Nothing hangs, nothing sags, nothing ends up in the yard after a storm. After that it is this: tap a scene and every light on the house updates at once.

All year, not just December

One system. Every night on the calendar.

Most people buy this for Christmas and end up using it 300 nights a year. Here is what a year actually looks like once it is up.

How it works

Three steps, then it is done forever.

01

A free quote, in person

One of us walks your roofline with you, measures the linear footage, talks through scope, and hands you an exact price on the spot. No ranges, no callback, no surprise on install day.

02

Usually a single day on site

Bosso's average install runs 8 to 10 hours. Track in one of three profiles, custom color-matched to your fascia, fastened into trim lumber — never through the shingles. Our own crew, never subcontracted out.

03

Then it lives on your phone

Warm white on a sunset timer. Red and green in December. Team colors on Sunday. Away-mode while you travel. Set it once and forget the whole thing.

The install

What we are actually doing on your roofline.

Permanent lighting is only as good as the install — badly fitted track sags, shows, and leaks. Luis came out of roofing, which is the reason this is the first thing we explain rather than the last. Here is exactly what happens, in order.

Measured, then color-matched
01

Measured, then color-matched

We measure every run of roofline on your house — not an estimate off a satellite photo — and we measure all four sides even if you only asked about the front, so you can decide with real numbers in front of you. The track is 0.5 mm aluminum in one of three profiles, powder-coated to your chosen color before it leaves the shop.

The right profile for each edge
02

The right profile for each edge

Three profiles, because a house is not one shape. U Track runs the roofline and soffit. Flap Track takes the corners and curves where U Track cannot lie flat. Back Track mounts flush to the fascia where there is no gutter lip at all. Fastened into trim lumber — never into shingles, tile or decking.

Lights seated, power re-injected
03

Lights seated, power re-injected

Each light seats into the 30 mm channel facing down, flush inside the track. On a long run the far end would normally go dim — so power is re-injected every 50 lights through a separate 14-gauge copper cable in the attic. The last light on your house is as bright as the first.

One controller, then a walkthrough
04

One controller, then a walkthrough

Everything comes back to an IP68 weatherproof control box on a 350W UL Listed Class 2 supply — up to 200 feet of roofline per controller, at 12 volts. We mount it where you can reach it, set your zones and your sunset schedule, and do not leave until the app works on your phone.

And what we never do
Never through shingles, tile or decking
No staples, no clips, no adhesive strips
No mains voltage anywhere on the roofline — the whole system is 12 volts
No dim far end — power is re-injected every 50 lights
No subcontracted crews — our own people
We do not leave until the app works on your phone

Track colors

Nineteen colors. One of them is your fascia.

The track is powder-coated before it ever reaches your house — not painted on site, not wrapped, not left white and hoped for. You pick the color off a physical swatch book while we are measuring, and it goes on the order.

Day and night

Invisible at noon. Unmissable at eight.

This is the whole product in two photographs of one house. A track color-matched to the fascia that nobody notices at midday — and a roofline you can see from the end of the street at eight.

Same house, same angle, same day. Nothing was moved between the two photographs except the sun.

By daylight

You will not see it until you turn it on.

Quarter-gauge aluminum track, powder-coated to match your fascia before it ever goes up, mounted against the fascia lip or tucked behind it on the soffit. By day it reads as a shadow line under your shingles.

What we install

Nine things we install, not one.

Most people call about the roofline. The same system and the same app cover the yard, the patio, the walkways and the storefront.

Side by side

Permanent lighting vs. the box in the garage.

The honest comparison. Seasonal strands are cheaper on day one — that is the only column they win.

Who shows up

Two guys who already work on DFW houses.

Dad House is owner-run. The people who quote your roofline are the people whose name is on the company — not a commissioned salesperson who will never see the install.

Luis Rojas
Co-owner

Luis comes out of roofing and home improvement in DFW, which is exactly the background that matters here — knowing what a fascia board is made of, and what happens to a roof when somebody fastens to the wrong part of it.

Mario Aldape
Co-owner

Mario runs the install side. Same standard on every house: track color-matched before it goes up, fastened into trim lumber, and a walkthrough with you on the app before we leave the driveway.

Honest answers

The questions people actually ask.

Including the downsides. Read the full FAQ →

It depends on your home — which is exactly why every project is quoted in person, for free, with an exact price. Anyone quoting permanent lighting over the phone is guessing, and guesses turn into surprise charges on install day.

What actually drives the price

  • Linear footage of roofline. The single biggest factor. A sprawling single-story ranch in Rockwall can need more footage than a compact two-story in Frisco.
  • Height and roofline complexity. Second-story gables, steep pitches and cut-up rooflines take more time and more equipment than a straight single-story run.
  • Scope. Front elevation only is the cheapest starting point. Adding the garage line, the patio, the fence line or landscape beds adds footage.

The one honest number we can give you up front: Bosso — the manufacturer whose system we install — publishes that their average customer pays around $5,000 out the door nationally. Smaller front-only jobs come in under that; large two-story homes with patio and landscape come in over it. Nobody else on your shortlist will put a number on a web page, and that is the point.

We will also tell you where to spend less. If the back of the house is not visible from anywhere you actually sit, we will say so rather than sell you footage you will never turn on.

Bosso's average install is 8 to 10 hours — most homes are a single day. A straightforward single-story front elevation is often a single day. A large two-story with patio, fence line and landscape runs into a second or third day.

You do not need to be home for the install itself, only for the walkthrough at the end. We work from the outside — nobody needs access to the inside of the house except to place the controller.

No. The track is fastened into the wood fascia or trim lumber under the eave with screws. Nothing is drilled into shingles, decking or the roof field.

That matters twice over. First, no penetration means no new leak path — and in DFW your roof already has hail to deal with without us adding holes to it. Second, your shingle warranty stays intact; most roofing warranties are voided by third-party penetrations, and this system does not create any.

Luis came out of roofing, which is the reason this is the first question we answer rather than the last.

Barely. The track is powder-coated to match your fascia color before it ships, and it is quarter-gauge aluminum — about as thick as a pencil. Mounted under the eave it reads as a shadow line.

This is the honest version: you will know it is there because you paid for it. Someone driving past will not notice it. Look at the daylight photos on the gallery page and judge for yourself before you buy — we would rather you decide from a photograph than be surprised.

Usually yes — and permanent lighting is often approved where seasonal strands are banned. The reason is that HOAs object to what strands look like: clips on the shingle line, cords down the wall, and the fact that half the street still has them up in March. Permanent lighting has none of that.

Plenty of DFW neighborhoods — Prosper, Southlake, Highland Park, most of Frisco — have real architectural review. We will give you the color-match spec, the mounting detail and product photos in a form you can submit. What we cannot do is approve it for you, and we will not install ahead of an approval you still need.

The right way, dad's way!
