Across Three Texas Metros
Permanent LED Lights in Texas
DFW, Austin, and San Antonio — one company, three metros, 24 cities. Installed once, enjoyed year-round.
Lonestar Glow is a Texas-local operator installing permanent LED lighting across three metros: DFW, Austin, and San Antonio. A typical single-story Texas home runs $2,500–$5,500 installed. Larger or multi-story homes run $6,000–$12,000+. Every quote is scoped to your exact home after a free on-site measurement.
We install commercial-grade systems meeting or exceeding the specification of Trimlight and JellyFish: extruded 6063-T5 aluminum channel powder-coated to your fascia, 50,000-hour IP65-rated LED bulbs, low-voltage wiring, and a smart controller that speaks to an app on your phone. Lifetime product warranty. Workmanship guarantee in writing. Licensed and insured in Texas.
You never climb a ladder for holiday lights again. Cowboys blue on Sunday, warm white for dinner parties on Tuesday, red and green on the first of December without moving an inch. Every color, every schedule, from your phone.
Three metros, one team
Where we work across Texas.
Each metro has its own crew, its own city-specific pages, and a track record of installs in the neighborhoods that matter there. Pick your metro for the full local story.

The weather, the HOAs, the neighborhoods — we know them.
Texas is a uniquely hard environment for outdoor electronics. Summer heat above 100°F for weeks. Spring hail storms. The February 2021 ice storm that turned an entire generation of big-box clip-on lights into brittle plastic confetti across the state. What survived all three was commercial-grade — and that is the only grade we install.
We also know how Texas HOAs work. Most of the neighborhoods we serve — Highland Park, Preston Hollow, Frisco, Southlake, Westlake Hills, Alamo Heights, Stone Oak — require architectural review on any permanent exterior modification. We've written those submissions many times and know what wins first-time approval. If your HOA requires a packet, we prepare it at no additional charge.
And we know the seasonal rhythm. Football opens in August. Halloween colors in October. Holiday season kicks off early November and runs into January. Valentine's Day pinks in February. Mother's Day and outdoor season in May. Your permanent system runs all of it without you moving a ladder.
How it works
Four steps. One day. Every night after that.
- 01
Free on-site measurement
We come to your home, measure your roofline, review the architecture, and give you an exact quote — scoped to your home, not a ballpark from a spreadsheet.
- 02
Approval + HOA submission
Once you sign off, we prepare any HOA architectural review materials your neighborhood needs. Most Texas HOAs approve permanent LED systems on first submission.
- 03
Installation (typically one day)
The color-matched aluminum channel is installed behind your gutter line. Bulbs go inside the channel. Wiring runs clean. Most single-story Texas homes are done in a single day.
- 04
Activate your lights from your phone
We walk you through the app, set up your favorite presets, and hand off the system. Cowboys blue, warm white, holiday colors — all on tap from your couch.

Where we work
Every city we serve.
24 dedicated city pages across DFW, Austin, and San Antonio — each with genuinely local content for that neighborhood, not city-name swaps of a template.
Texas homeowners — the questions we get asked
We serve three metros: DFW, Austin, and San Antonio — plus their affluent suburbs. That covers most of the population of the state. If you're outside these markets, call us anyway — if you're reasonably close to one of our service areas, we'll often still make the trip.
A typical single-story Texas home (150–250 linear feet of roofline) runs $2,500–$5,500 installed. Larger or multi-story homes run $6,000–$12,000+. Every quote is scoped to your exact home after a free on-site measurement. Use the calculator on this page for a ballpark tied to your actual linear footage and stories.
Yes. The channel and bulbs are commercial-grade, rated for outdoor use in hot and humid climates, and sealed against moisture. We install across Texas suburbs through the hottest summers and the worst spring storm seasons. The commercial-grade hardware is the whole point — residential-grade strands from big-box stores are what fails in Texas weather.
Most single-story Texas homes are installed in a single day. Larger or multi-story homes take one to two days. From first call to lit-up roofline is usually under two weeks — most of which is waiting for your HOA to reply if you're in one of the more restrictive neighborhoods.
Constantly. Most of the neighborhoods we serve — Plano, Frisco, Southlake, Westlake Hills, Stone Oak, Alamo Heights, Highland Park — are HOA-governed and require architectural review. We've prepared the submission packets many times. Because the channel is color-matched to your fascia and invisible during the day, most Texas HOAs approve on first submission.
Same category of product at the same or better quality, installed by a Texas-local operator rather than a national franchise. You're calling us directly — no national call center, no escalation trees. We've read your HOA's architectural guidelines before. Read the full comparison on our blog if you want the detail.
