Permanent, Christmas and landscape lighting in Wexford, PA

Wexford is about 40 miles from Kittanning, roughly 52 minutes on a clear morning. It is the densest HOA territory we serve, and it is where invisible-by-day track earns its reputation. We install permanent, Christmas and landscape lighting across Pine, Franklin Park and Marshall.

Wexford is where Route 19 and Interstate 79 meet, and the plans that fill the space between them were mostly built in the last 30 years. Almost every one has a homeowners association. Some limit exterior fixtures, some regulate colors, and a few specify how long holiday displays may stay up. We read those documents before we quote, not after.

The permanent system was designed around exactly this situation. The track is aluminum, powder-coated to match your fascia, and mounted tight under the drip edge, so an architectural review board looking at the house at noon sees trim and nothing else. It has passed every HOA we have put it in front of, and we include the submission packet with the quote.

Our drive from Kittanning to Wexford runs about 52 minutes, so we batch consults here with Cranberry and Mars stops. Tyson brings the hard case with four live RGBWW strips, parks it on your driveway, and shows the board-friendly warm white next to the full color scenes. You get a render of your actual house within 48 hours, which doubles as your HOA exhibit.

Why Wexford HOAs say yes

Boards worry about two things: what it looks like in daylight and whether it becomes a nuisance at night. Daylight is handled by the track. Night is handled by you, because the Thraxel app schedules scenes, dims them, and can drop to a single warm-white line by 10 pm. Individually addressable pixels also mean one dead LED never turns into a dark stretch the neighbors notice.

Newer construction in Pine and Marshall also tends to have long, clean fascia runs with few interruptions, which keeps the install to one or two days and keeps the line looking straight. A typical 168-LED system draws about 0.3 watts per pixel, roughly $52.80 a year at six hours a night.

FAQ

Before you book in Wexford

So far, every HOA that has reviewed the Thraxel system has approved it, and Wexford's Pine, Franklin Park and Marshall communities are the toughest audience we work with. The approval hinges on the color-matched aluminum track, which is effectively invisible by day. Thraxel prepares the submission packet, including spec sheets, UL, ETL and CUL certifications and the render of your house, so the board sees exactly what it is voting on.
Most Wexford homes are installed in one to two days. The process starts with a free consultation, followed by a render mock-up of your specific property within 48 hours. Once you approve the design and your HOA signs off, the crew mounts the track, wires the controller, connects the app and does a final walkthrough with you the same day the lights first come on.
About 40 miles, which is roughly a 52-minute drive for our crew. Wexford is inside Thraxel's primary Pennsylvania footprint, so there is no travel charge on the consultation or the install. Tyson runs every quote personally and can be reached at 724-859-4390 by call or text. The online form at thraxel.com/quote/ works too.
That is one of the main reasons Wexford homeowners switch. A permanent system is architectural lighting, not a holiday display, so most HOA takedown deadlines do not apply to it. On January 5 you switch the scene from Christmas to Everyday Warm in the app and the house looks like it has plain warm-white eave lighting. Nothing comes down, because nothing was hung.
