Permanent Lighting in Lockeland Springs, TN
Permanent Lighting Solutions supplies a single aluminum channel that our installers fit beneath the eave of any Lockeland Springs house, so a steep Victorian gable and a low bungalow eave both carry the same line of lights.
Lockeland Springs is a streetcar suburb about two miles northeast of downtown Nashville, and the houses there can hold a permanent LED roofline that glows all year. Licensed, insured and certified installers fit it to the roof edge.
Pick a color on your phone, and the roofline changes while the channel stays put.
A compact grid where one lit house gets noticed
The neighborhood dates from the turn of the 20th century, when the streetcar line made it a place to live outside downtown, and more than 1,500 households live there today. The blocks form a tight grid of similar houses, so a single lit roofline stands out to everyone walking past it. Other Nashville neighborhoods and the towns beyond are on the service areas page.
Victorian gables beside bungalow eaves
Homes here run from late-1800s Victorians to bungalows and new construction. That leaves two roofline shapes on one street. A Victorian pushes up steep gables and front-facing peaks, while a bungalow keeps a low eave that reaches out over the porch. The aluminum channel is mitered at every turn, so a tall gable peak and a long shallow eave read as one unbroken line.
Short runs seen up close
Lots here are narrow, with fronts set near the street. A passer-by looks at the roof edge from a few steps away, so spacing, tidy corners and a bare face matter more than raw brightness. Each light is seated in the channel and aimed downward. By day the install is basically invisible.
Footage drives the schedule, so a short front on a narrow lot is a lighter job than a wide house with four gables. Plan on 8 to 10 hours for the install itself, and see the pricing page for what changes an estimate.
Trim and porches that reward a close look
The neighborhood's events page lists the 2026 Home and Garden Tour, which featured Victorians and craftsman homes. Both are known for layered fascia boards, brackets and porch roofs with lines of their own. The channel follows the fascia, so each board keeps its detail and the light falls along its lowest edge.
One controller splits the roof into as many as 8 zones, and every zone can show a different color. A porch can stay in warm white on a night the main roof runs green, and the app holds those looks as saved presets.
Shade trees over the roofline
The neighborhood's own site says it plants trees and keeps its streets shaded. Canopy over a roof changes where the lights are seen from, so the free estimate checks the view from the sidewalk and from under the branches, then places the run at the eave. Leaves come down every autumn, and the lights stay inside the channel while they do. Expect a lifespan of 10 to 20 years.
The Tree Lighting on November 30 and the Holiday Trolley on December 17
The neighborhood's events page lists the 2026 Tree Lighting on Monday, November 30, from 5 PM, and the Holiday Trolley on Thursday, December 17, from 6 PM. Trolley riders "see the lights, and vote for your favorite displays," so the judges are the neighbors riding past.
That is the reason to install before November 30. A roofline finished ahead of the Tree Lighting is already working when the season opens, and it is settled by the night the trolley comes through. In the app, pick a red and green look, add a sunset timer, and the roofline switches on each evening without a ladder or a phone in hand. The 2026 holiday lights calendar lists more Nashville dates. Both evenings, plus four larger light shows around the city, are laid out in the Lockeland Springs holiday lights guide.
Lockeland Springs questions, answered
Which company puts this system on Lockeland Springs roofs?
That is Permanent Lighting Solutions. Our installers put in every part of the system: the channel, the lights and a controller set up indoors. The system page shows each piece up close.
Does a steep Victorian gable change how the lights go up?
The channel takes the same fixings on a steep gable as on a flat eave, and each peak gets its own cut. Which of the three channel profiles a house gets depends on the structure under the roof edge.
Can the lights switch to red and green for the trolley and back afterward?
Yes. Choose a red and green preset in the app before the Tree Lighting, and one tap brings back the usual look when the season ends. Schedules and sunset timers handle the evenings in between.
What does the coverage include?
It carries the manufacturer's 5-year product warranty and our installers' workmanship warranty. Both are laid out on one page of coverage details.
