The holidays are a time for celebration, togetherness, and for many homeowners, the annual ritual of dragging out boxes of tangled Christmas lights. It’s cold, it’s wet, and somehow half the lights never seem to work. But what if you could skip the hassle this year and every year after?

At Exterior Building Solutions (EBS), we’re excited to offer professional holiday lighting installation in the St. Louis area. Whether you love traditional mini LEDs or want to invest in permanent outdoor lighting, our team has you covered.

The Problem with Traditional Holiday Lights

We all know the routine: climb the ladder, fight with icy clips, and string up those green wired LED lights only to take them down again a few weeks later. As Josh Knese from EBS puts it:

“I procrastinate putting those up. I wait until I get nagged. And then when I finally commit to putting those up, the weather always sucks it’s cold, it’s rainy, we may even get some snow.”

Sound familiar? Temporary lights are a yearly chore that eats up your weekend and exposes you to safety risks in winter conditions.

The Smart Alternative: Permanent Outdoor Lighting

Permanent lighting systems let you enjoy beautiful, customizable illumination year round without ever climbing a ladder again.

EBS proudly installs Govee RGB LED lights, a trusted brand offering full color control and flexible installation options. These lights can be programmed for Christmas, Halloween, game days, or even everyday accent lighting.

Flexible Installation Options

• What sets these lights apart is how you choose to install them:
  Adhesive Mounting: Perfect for homeowners who may move or don’t want to drill into their soffits. The lights come with a strong adhesive backing that’s held up for years even through Midwest winters.
• Clip & Screw Mounting: For those planning to stay long term, clips can be screwed into the soffit for extra durability.

“You’re going to have that extra security of having those screws in the soffit to know those lights aren’t going anywhere.”

Each kit even includes extra adhesive patches in case one light ever comes loose.

Built for Durability and Weather Protection

Traditional holiday lights often loosen or disconnect over time, leaving dark patches along your roofline. Permanent systems solve that problem.

The Govee lights installed by EBS come in 16 foot sections that screw together securely with a weather sealed connection.

“That’s the beautiful thing about this,” says Josh. “It screws together you know it’s on there tight, you know it’s not going anywhere. It has a rubber o-ring in there, so it’s going to keep all your weather out as well.”
