Protect Historic Fascia. Elevate the Architecture.
In a community with Highland Park's concentration of historic architecture — Victorian homes along St. John's Avenue, Prairie School properties near the bluffs, Craftsman bungalows throughout the Central Business District area — holiday lights installed with plastic clips on original wood fascia can cause damage that is costly or impossible to repair. Permanent soffit-mounted lights eliminate this risk entirely, while delivering superior architectural lighting year-round.
❌ Traditional Holiday Clips
- Plastic clips on original wood fascia = damage
- Gutter hooks cause long-term deformation
- Hours on ladders every December and January
- Tangled wires stored in garage all year
- Looks improvised on historic architecture
- No control — on timer or unplugged
✅ Permanent Soffit Lights
- Brackets in soffit — fascia untouched
- Zero damage to original historic materials
- One installation, decades of use
- App control from phone — any colour, any time
- Architectural quality, not decorative
- Ravinia season, Christmas, entertaining — all covered

Highland Park Homeowners Love Permanent Lights
"We have a 1922 Craftsman home. I was worried about any permanent installation near the original fascia. The brackets go into the soffit only — the fascia wasn't touched. Perfect result."
"The lighting during Ravinia season is incredible. Warm white at the right brightness creates such an elegant eveni ng atmosphere for entertaining. Best home investment we've made in years."
"Installation was clean, professional, and done in one day. The winter lighting is beautiful — I can see the architectural details of the house I've never noticed before at night."
Outdoor Light Installation Across Highland Park
We install permanent outdoor lights on homes throughout Highland Park — from the Victorian and Craftsman properties along St. John's Avenue and Central Avenue to the contemporary lakefront homes near Rosewood Beach and the larger Ravinia District properties backing onto the festival grounds. Every installation uses brackets screwed into the soffit board — never clips on the fascia or gutter hooks that can damage original wood on Highland Park's historic homes.
Highland Park's active outdoor entertaining culture makes permanent lighting particularly valuable. The Ravinia Festival season from June through mid-September brings evening events that Highland Park homeowners host around — outdoor dinners, gatherings before concerts, and evening entertaining that is enhanced by architectural-quality lighting that can be adjusted from your phone. The same system serves Christmas, Halloween, and any custom schedule you configure.
We also service existing permanent light systems. If you have a system that needs repair, bulb replacement, or app reconfiguration, contact us for a free assessment. Our outdoor lights service page has full technical specifications and before-and-after examples from North Shore installations.
Outdoor Lights Questions
No — brackets are screwed into the soffit board, not the fascia. The soffit is the horizontal surface under the roof overhang; the fascia is the vertical face board. We never touch the fascia during installation. This is especially important for original wood fascia on Highland Park's Victorian and Craftsman homes.
We install into aluminum, vinyl, wood, and composite soffit. All common in Highland Park depending on the age of the home. We choose the correct screw type and spacing for each material. Historic wood soffit on older homes is handled carefully.
Yes — custom schedules including warm white, dimmed evening settings, and party-mode brightness are all configurable from the app. You can create a Ravinia season schedule that runs from sunset to midnight from June through September, then switch to holiday settings for December — all without touching anything.
