Christmas in December. Green for St. Patrick's Day. Orange for Halloween. Blue for the Cubs. Whatever you want, whenever you want it. See our full permanent systems page →
Change colors, set schedules, and dim from your phone. Govee Home and Eufy apps work with Alexa & Google Home.

We install and configure both major permanent LED systems — whichever fits your home and preference. Both are app-controlled, both are spectacular. See installed examples in our gallery →
The most popular permanent LED system we install in Des Plaines. Govee's app is intuitive, the color accuracy is exceptional, and the hardware is built for outdoor use in all Illinois seasons.
Eufy's permanent system offers a slightly different aesthetic — longer individual LED spacing gives a bolder, more dramatic look on larger homes and wider rooflines.
We supply commercial-grade LED lights — custom-measured and cut to your exact roofline — and install them right. Same-day quote, professional installation, and takedown service after the season. Lights are yours to keep. Full details on our Christmas installation service →

Permanent lights: every color, every night, forever. Christmas lights: we take them down after the season.
Permanent lights (Govee, Eufy) are mounted once and stay on your roofline year-round. They're app-controlled and can show any color — Christmas red/green, Halloween orange, Cubs blue — at any time. Christmas lights are seasonal: we install commercial-grade LEDs before the holidays and remove them in January. Permanent systems cost more upfront but eliminate the annual install/takedown cycle.
Permanent LED systems in Des Plaines typically run $1,500–$4,000 depending on your roofline length and number of stories. The hardware is included in that price. We provide free on-site estimates with no obligation — call (224) 563-9374 or fill out the form below and we'll follow up same day.
