Permanent & holiday lighting in Wauwatosa

Tosa has some of the most interesting rooflines in the metro — Tudors, bungalows and center-entrance colonials, many of them close to a century old, with steep pitches, dormers and cross-gables. That is a gift for permanent lighting and a reason to be careful with it.

On a house with that much going on, the temptation is to light everything. It looks better to trace the primary roofline and let the peaks do the work. Warm white on a steep Tudor gable reads as architecture; the same house outlined everywhere reads as decoration.

Older homes also mean older fascia, so the mounting matters. Track spreads the fastening along the run rather than hanging weight off a gutter, and nothing is clipped to anything seasonal.
