One install instead of a seasonal contract, a lift booking and work at height every year.
Permanent exterior LED lighting replaces a building's seasonal lighting contract with one install: scenes change from an app (holidays, celebrations, brand colours, or plain white the rest of the year) with nobody on site. It's scoped on site and priced per linear foot, like a house, with more zones and a real look at power.

The financial argument is straightforward and it isn't really the main one.
Different from a house in the ways you'd expect: longer runs, more zones, higher access, and a real conversation about power and circuits rather than plugging into an outdoor outlet. We scope it on site. Anyone quoting a commercial exterior from a photo is guessing.
Where a manager has several properties, the value is consistency: one system, one app, rather than a different seasonal contractor per site with different results at each.
Permanent roofline lighting is four parts: a slim channel mounted along the roof edge, a run of LEDs inside it that can each be set to their own colour, a low-voltage power supply, and a controller you run from an app. It stays up year-round, and the connectors, seals and electronics usually limit its life more than the LEDs do.
Permanent lights should fasten into sound fascia or solid soffit below the metal drip edge at the roof's edge, never through your shingles or roof deck, and stay clear of the soffit vents your attic breathes through. On a Calgary roof edge, where water drains and ice builds every winter, every fastener also has to be sealed.
Zones can be assigned, so a retail tenant's frontage can be controlled on its own. How access is managed is your decision, and it's worth settling at design time.
Commercial electrical work in Alberta is permitted work and it's handled accordingly. Ask us, and every other bidder, exactly who is making the connection and under what permit.
We carry WCB Alberta coverage and commercial general liability at $2,000,000, with certificates available on request before we attend site. Our licences and insurance are listed on the credentials page with the issuers' verification links.
It's exterior work at the roof edge, with no interior access needed beyond the electrical connection point. Access equipment is the main impact, and we plan it around your tenants' hours.
