Permanent Outdoor Lighting Ann Arbor
Permanent Outdoor Lighting Ann Arbor Homeowners Trust
Michigan winters are long, and Ann Arbor homeowners deal with freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and wet springs. Seasonal clip-on lights are a hassle. Our Gemstone Lights system mounts directly to your roofline and stays there, engineered for durability through every season.
We serve neighborhoods across Ann Arbor, including Old West Side, Burns Park, and Kerrytown. Whether you want holiday displays in December or soft architectural accents all summer, one app controls every color, schedule, and scene. Our local crew handles everything from the initial design visit to final walk-through, so you never touch a ladder again.

Permanent Outdoor Lighting Ann Arbor FAQs
What does a soffit lighting installation include?
01Our trained crew handles the whole job: planning the fixture layout along your roofline, recessing the fixtures flush into the soffit so no hardware shows, running the wiring, and testing the finished system with you. Every installation includes a 1-year workmanship warranty.
Can soffit lighting be added to a home that already has none?
02Yes. Soffit lighting is installed within the existing overhang of your roofline, so it suits homes that were never wired for it. We assess the soffit depth and material first, then plan fixture spacing to give an even wash of light rather than bright spots.
How is soffit lighting controlled?
03When paired with Gemstone Lights, your soffit lighting is controlled from your phone. You can set schedules, pick colours, build scenes for a holiday or a game day, and adjust brightness, then leave it to run on its own.
Does soffit lighting need maintenance once it is installed?
04Very little. The fixtures sit protected inside the soffit rather than exposed on the roofline, so there is nothing to put up or take down each year. The Gemstone Lights carry a lifetime warranty, and we are here if anything needs attention.
