Permanent lights go on a brick, stone, stucco or siding house the same way: our licensed, insured and certified installers fix the channel under the eave, along the fascia or soffit, so the wall below is not the mounting surface.
Why the wall is not where the lights mount
The lights sit in an aluminum channel. That channel runs along the fascia or the soffit, and it is the only piece fixed to the house. It does not matter whether the wall under the eave is brick, stone, stucco or siding: the channel goes in the same place.
Nothing hangs from the gutter either. No fastener goes through the gutter or through the roof surface.
What goes on the fascia or soffit instead
Three parts make up the system. An aluminum channel under the roof edge. LED lights seated inside it, facing down. One controller indoors.
The channel comes in three profiles. The edge under your roof decides which one you get, and the installers choose it against your own roof edge on site, before anything is ordered.
Where the roof turns, the channel is cut to that corner's own angle and joined on the cut. It is not bent. A mitered corner keeps the lights in line around a gable.
See every part up close on the system page.
Brick, stone, stucco and siding: what changes and what does not
What does not change: where the channel goes, how the lights sit in it, and how the corners are cut. Under the eave, the run looks the same on all four.
What does change is the edge your house has. A fascia, a rake board, a soffit, stone, a curved turret: the channel is fitted to the edge the house actually has, in a finish chosen to disappear against it. That is settled at the walkthrough, on your house.
The channel is also color matched to your trim before it goes up: dark bronze under a dark soffit, white under white trim.
Warm or cool white against your brick
Warm white behaves like lamplight. It flatters brick, stone and anything with a yellow in it. Cool white behaves like moonlight. It holds a crisp edge against white trim, gray stone and black window frames.
On white siding, painted brick and pale stone, cool white draws a sharp, clean line around the whole house.
Both are settings on the same lights. Your brick decides it, and one of our installers will stand in front of it with you. Look at both on real houses: the colors page and the gallery.
What you see in daylight
With the lights off, the install is a line under the roof edge. Nothing on the face of the house. Nothing on the roof. No cords, no gutter clips, no box outside.
In late sun, from the angle a neighbor walks past at, it reads as one low-profile line. On brick, stone or siding, the house just looks like the house.
How a Nashville quote is measured
Your roofline is the price. There is no published per-foot rate: your quote is measured on the house itself.
The price depends on the size of the house and the design, and the pricing page sets out where it starts.
Six things set the number: how much roofline there is, how many stories, how many peaks and dormers, how the work can be reached, what the track is fitted to, and how much of the house you want lit. The pricing page walks through each one.
The free estimate has three steps. You send the quote form, which takes about a minute. An installer calls you and measures the roofline on the house. You get the number for your house.

Questions
Are the lights fastened into my brick or stucco?
The channel is mounted along the fascia or the soffit, under the eave. It is the only piece fixed to the house, and it runs the same way on brick, stone, stucco or siding. If you want to see exactly where each piece goes on your house, ask the installers at the walkthrough.
Should I pick warm white or cool white for a brick house?
Warm white flatters brick, stone and anything with a warm trim. Cool white keeps a white or gray house crisp instead of yellow. Both are settings on the same lights, so you can switch from your phone.
Does the channel damage the roof or gutters?
No. No fastener goes through the gutter or through the roof surface. The channel is mounted along the fascia or soffit.
