Permanent, Christmas and landscape lighting in Kittanning, PA
Kittanning is home. Three brothers, one crew, and a shop a few minutes from the Allegheny. If your house is in Armstrong County, the truck is already on your road most days of the week.
We grew up here, we started 160 Glow here, and Thraxel is still run from Kittanning. That means no travel charge, no scheduling around a two-hour drive, and a crew that knows which streets on the hill get the wind off the river in January. Every Kittanning quote and install goes through Tyson personally.
The housing stock in town runs from brick and stone homes near the courthouse to newer builds out along Route 422 and the ridges above Ford City. Each one lights differently. Older rooflines with deep eaves take color-matched track beautifully because there is real fascia to tuck it against. Newer homes with vinyl trim need a lighter touch, and the render mock-up shows you the difference before anything is mounted.
Christmas is still the season that built this company. We hang traditional C9 lighting across Kittanning every November, service it within 24 to 48 hours if a bulb goes dark, and start takedowns on January 4. Neighbors tend to notice. On most of our residential permanent installs at least one house on the same street has booked within eighteen months.

Why Kittanning homes are a good fit
Armstrong County winters are cold, wet and windy along the river valley. The permanent system is IP67 marine-grade silicone on 16-gauge wire, salt-tested, and it sits through ice and snow load without anyone on a ladder. That matters on the steep lots above Water Street where a December climb is a genuinely bad idea.
Every 16xxx ZIP is on our daily route, so a service call in Kittanning is usually same-day. If a single pixel fails, it is individually addressable and we can tell which one from the controller before we even pull in.
