Permanent, Christmas and landscape lighting in Monroeville, PA

Monroeville is about 40 miles from Kittanning, roughly 55 minutes for us, most of it on Route 66 and Route 22. It is a 1960s and 70s suburb at heart, split-levels and colonials on rolling streets, with a commercial strip on Route 22 that lights up well.

Night shot of a home with Thraxel permanent lighting

Monroeville built out in the 1960s and 70s, which is why so many of its streets are lined with split-levels, raised ranches and brick colonials. Those rooflines are a specific design challenge: staggered eaves, a garage wing at a different height, and a front gable that carries the whole look. The render mock-up shows how the track ties those levels together before we mount anything.

The Route 22 corridor is the other half of the town. Car dealerships, restaurants, hotels and medical offices near the mall compete for attention from a five-lane road, and permanent facade lighting that shifts from warm white to a seasonal scene is a cheap way to win it. Same RGBWW system, scaled to the building, one app, and a service plan behind it.

From Kittanning the trip is about 55 minutes, mostly Route 66 south and Route 22 west, and we usually pair Monroeville with Murrysville and Plum consults. Tyson runs the visit himself, opens the demo case in your driveway so you see four live strips against your own siding, and delivers a render of your house within 48 hours. Most homes install in one to two days.

Why split-levels light better than you think

People assume a split-level cannot carry roofline lighting because the eaves do not line up. The opposite is true. Individually addressable pixels let us run a continuous scene across three roof heights as if they were one line, and the color-matched track disappears against fascia by day. A 2700K warm white on the front gable and garage wing makes a 1968 house look deliberate.

Monroeville winters bring the same freeze-and-thaw that cracks the Parkway, and the system is built for it: IP67 marine-grade silicone, 16-gauge wire, salt-tested, aluminum track. If a pixel fails, we know which one before the truck leaves the shop.

FAQ

What Monroeville homeowners ask us

About 40 miles, which is roughly a 55-minute drive for the crew, mostly along Route 66 and Route 22. Monroeville sits inside Thraxel's primary Pennsylvania service area, so the on-site consultation is free and there is no travel charge on the install. Tyson personally handles every quote and can be reached by call or text at 724-859-4390.
Yes, and split-levels are common enough in Monroeville that we have a routine for them. Thraxel runs color-matched aluminum track along each roof height, and because every pixel is individually addressable, the controller treats the staggered eaves as one continuous line for scenes and chases. The render mock-up, delivered within 48 hours of the consult, shows exactly how the levels connect before install.
Yes. Dealerships, restaurants, hotels, showrooms and plazas on the Route 22 corridor use the same RGBWW permanent system installed on homes, scaled to the building. It runs warm white on ordinary nights and switches to holiday or promotional scenes from the Thraxel Lighting app. Commercial service plans cover maintenance, and larger projects are scoped by AJ on Thraxel's commercial side.
Late summer or September, because the dry November weekends are claimed first and Thraxel installs only when weather permits. Every seasonal install starts with a render mock-up of your house, includes in-season repairs within 24 to 48 hours at no extra cost, and ends with takedown beginning January 4, after which the lights are labeled, packaged and stored until next season.
