Permanent, Christmas and landscape lighting in Upper St. Clair, PA
Upper St. Clair is large lots, mature trees and some of the most consistent HOA and township design standards in the South Hills. Thraxel installs permanent roofline lighting, Christmas displays and landscape lighting here, driving about 58 miles and 75 minutes from Kittanning to do it.
The houses in Upper St. Clair tend to be substantial: brick and stone colonials from the 1960s and 70s on the older streets, then larger plan homes with hip roofs, multiple gables and three-car garages in the developments off Route 19 and McLaughlin Run Road. That much roofline means zoning matters. We typically split a USC home into front elevation, garage wing and side returns so each can run its own brightness.
USC also has some of the most careful neighbors in Allegheny County. That is not a complaint; it is why invisible-by-day track exists. The aluminum channel is color-matched to the fascia, the wire is hidden, and in daylight there is nothing to see. Neighbor attention matters commercially too. Across our residential permanent installs, 58 percent of jobs generated at least one inquiry from a nearby homeowner.
Kittanning to Upper St. Clair is about 75 minutes, so we run it as part of a South Hills route with Mt. Lebanon and Peters Township. The first house in a neighborhood is the hard one to schedule. After that, consults and installs stack, and we return for service on the same loop.

Built for HOA review and township standards
Upper St. Clair's plan communities and the township itself both care about exterior appearance, and our system was engineered with review boards in mind. It has cleared every HOA we have submitted it to. The render mock-up, produced within 48 hours of the free consult, is the same document we hand to the architectural committee, along with UL, ETL and CUL certifications for every component.
Winter is the other reviewer. The pixels are sealed to IP67 in marine-grade silicone and mounted permanently, so a January ice storm on Route 19 is not the day anyone in your house climbs a ladder. Parts carry a 3-year warranty, labor 1 year, and 0 percent APR financing for up to 24 months is available to qualifying buyers through our financing partner.
