Permanent Holiday Lighting in Spring Hill, FL
Permanent Lights Mounted to Each Roof Edge|Licensed & Insured, EC13011268
A permanent light track looks only as neat as the roof edge it's fastened to, and on plenty of Spring Hill houses that edge changes material partway around the house. Kennedy Electric installs permanent holiday lighting on Spring Hill homes, from the track and the LED lights to the power supplies and any outlet or circuit they need.

What Hernando County Permits Along a Spring Hill Roof Edge
At a Spring Hill home outside a Special Flood Hazard Area, fascia and trim replacement and non-structural gutters need no Hernando County building permit. When an owner is already having worn fascia replaced, the new board becomes the surface the light track fastens to, so the two jobs fit well when they're planned together.
The county draws a line at the super gutter, which it defines as a wide aluminum channel along the roofline where a screen enclosure meets the house, and a super gutter requires a permit of its own. Because the channel is the joint between the cage and the house, a light track along it is planned around the enclosure, and new fastening points in it are best avoided.
In the county's standard residential districts, a pool and its screened enclosure may sit in the side or rear yard, at least 5 feet from each side and rear lot line. That keeps the cage, and the super gutter with it, toward the back or one side of the house, so the front and the garage, the edges seen from the street, can usually be lit without meeting the channel at all.
How it runs
Putting Up Permanent Lights on a Spring Hill House
-
1
Each marked edge checked for what it's made of
At the weekday estimate visit, we look at each edge you've marked for what the track would fasten to and where that surface changes, so each run can be laid out one stretch at a time.
-
2
A permit where new wiring goes in
A supply set beside an outlet with room on its circuit simply plugs in. Wiring added for a supply, whether one more outlet or a circuit of its own, needs a Hernando County electrical permit.

Track up, runs lit, and the controls left with you
The track goes up one edge at a time, the lights seat into it, and each run is switched on once its supply is connected. Colors, scenes, and schedules live in the product's own controller or app, and setting them up stays with you.
What we cover
Four Roof Edges for a Permanent Light Track
How the track fastens, and where its power supply can sit, change with the edge it follows.
Permanent lights on bare fascia
On a roof edge with no gutter, the track fastens straight to the fascia board, snug under the drip edge, so from the street it reads as part of the trim. That board has to hold its screws for years, and soft or split wood is best replaced before any track goes on it.
Holiday lights along a gutter line
A gutter hides most of the fascia it hangs from. Some lighting systems offer brackets made to mount along a gutter's lip or face, and others need the strip of board left showing below it; the product's own mounting instructions decide which way a run goes. Each downspout breaks the line, so the run is laid out to stop short of it and pick up again on the far side, and the gutter's slope and downspout openings stay clear for water.
The super gutter over a pool enclosure
Where a screen cage ties into the house, a wide aluminum channel takes the place of the fascia along that stretch. Here the run can end neatly at the corner where the channel begins. Its power supply can sit in a weatherproof enclosure on a GFCI-protected outlet.
Roofline lights on the garage front
When the garage faces the street, it often carries the longest, most visible stretch of roof edge. That long, straight run shows any dip in the track, so it looks best set on one level line and fastened at even spacing, with each end stopped square at a corner.
Pricing
Roof-Edge Length and the Holiday Lighting Estimate
A permanent lighting estimate follows the length of each roof edge, how many power supplies the runs call for, and whether the house needs a new outlet or circuit to feed them.
Custom homes and large or multi-phase projects are estimated as soon as we can, or on the timeline your project sets.
Repair and troubleshooting visits are billed by the hour from arrival: $100 residential, $150 commercial, one-hour minimum, then half-hour increments, plus materials. No trip charge and no service fee. No hidden fees: the 3.5% surcharge on card and ACH payments is listed in our terms.
We don't do upfront pricing. No job has a standard price with us: each one is tailored to the property and the work you've asked for, and priced once we've seen it.
We offer free estimates on installs, upgrades, and replacements in our service area. Estimates aren't free when the job needs troubleshooting or testing to price, falls after hours or outside our service area, needs several meetings to gather information, or is new construction or a custom remodel with multi-party walk-throughs. For most jobs, estimates arrive by email by the end of the next business day, and quotes are good for 30 days.
