Roofing Pros Who Handle Lighting Safely

Most lighting installers aren't roofers. They climb your roofline with no fall-arrest training, drill into your fascia without knowing what's underneath, and leave penetrations that leak by spring. SOS Home Ohio is different. Our crew installs permanent and holiday lighting the same way we install roofing, methodically, with commercial-grade materials, and with your home's structure in mind. Rated 5 stars across 49 Google reviews, we're the Columbus metro contractor that does the whole exterior. Call 614-913-3809 and get a free design consultation before anyone touches a ladder.

What drives the cost of a lighting install? Lineal footage of roofline, fixture type (permanent LEDs vs. seasonal clip-on sets), the complexity of your roofline, and whether you want landscape zones or event lighting in addition to the roofline run. Permanent LED systems cost more upfront than a seasonal hang, and save significantly over repeated annual installs. Our fixtures carry a 50,000-hour guarantee. Every job is different, contact SOS Home Ohio for an accurate estimate.

Permanent Lighting Installation

Commercial-grade LEDs mounted to the roofline that stay year-round. Change color profiles by season or occasion. No annual re-hang, no storage bins in the garage.

Holiday Lighting Installation

We hang it, we take it down, and we do it without damaging your shingles or fascia. That's the roofer difference. Book your holiday install before the season fills up.

Path lights, uplights, and zone lighting for your yard and garden. Pairs naturally with roofline lighting for full exterior coverage.

Outdoor Wreath and Decoration Installation

Wreaths, garlands, door pieces, hung where they belong without nail guns through your trim or tape that pulls paint in January.

The 50,000-Hour Guarantee

permanent lighting installation work, professional service in Hilliard, OH
Our permanent LED fixtures are backed by a 50,000-hour guarantee. Run them four hours a night and you're looking at more than 34 years of use. That's not a marketing number. That's the spec on the commercial-grade product we use, which is not what you'd find at a big-box retailer. Consumer holiday sets are rated for a few hundred hours. The difference shows after the first Ohio winter. We don't install anything we wouldn't put on our own properties. If a fixture fails within the guarantee window, we replace it. No invoice, no argument. We also won't tell you that permanent lighting is right for every home. If your roofline can't support a clean mount without penetrating the wrong materials, we'll say so at the consultation, and we'll recommend the seasonal option instead. The right install beats the wrong one every time.

Why Roofers Install Lighting Better

  1. 01

    We Know the Roofline

    We know where your ice-and-water shield runs, where the drip edge sits, and which penetrations will cause a leak. Non-roofers guess. We don't.

  2. 02

    Commercial-Grade Materials Only

    Durable fixtures, proper mounting hardware, and wire management that won't rattle loose in a February wind event. No zip ties, no staple guns through shingles.

  3. 03

    Clean Removal, No Damage

    When it's time to take seasonal lights down, we do it without pulling off granules or cracking fascia. The roof repair call you avoid is worth the install cost by itself.

Had a very bad garage roof , this company did a remarkable job and I now have a building I can use . Thanks for the hard work and great crew. THEY ALSO WENT BEYOND GETTING ME THE INSURANCE PAYMENT THAT I WAS ENTITLED TOO. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY IF YOU WANT A COMPANY THAT WILL TREAT YOU WITH RESPECT AND HONESTY.

SOS is a great roofing company. Andrew, site supervisor, has been very professional and friendly. My wife and Iiked the way he explained about the roof replacement process, now we feel comfortable with the result of the work. Thanks

Beth BairdBeth BairdJul 2026 · Google
SOS did a great job with my roof. From the initial estimate, working with the insurance company, explaining the process. They completed the job professionally and made sure everything was to my satisfaction before I signed off. They helped turn a very complex process into an easy one.

Paul from SOS came out today and was great. He clearly showed me the problem areas and what they would need to do to fix them. There was no sales pressure to get a new roof like many places do. I will do another review once the repairs are done.

Paul came out to inspect the roof after those big wind & hail storms. He was able to identify the issues and proposed affordable, smart solutions. Highly recommend!
Laura ALaura AMar 2026 · Google
Very pleased with the level of detail provided in the roof inspection following wind and hail damage to my roof and chimney cap. The inspection was thorough and comprehensive, offering a clear picture of the condition and remaining life of the entire roof system—including gutters, downspouts, roof surface, and attic interior. Paul and his team did an excellent job helping me understand my situation and the next steps toward resolving the issues. They answered all of my questions with patience and expertise.

SOS Roofing is true to its name. I contacted the company for emergency help for a friend. The company owner, Paul, responded immediately, arrived on-site in two to three hours, and had the emergency handled a short time after that. Due to a roof leaking badly in a serious rain and windstorm, a speedy response and solution was definitely needed. SOS Roofing provided that solution, preventing serious interior damage to the home. I highly recommend this company and its owner.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between permanent LED lighting and seasonal clip-on lights?
Permanent LEDs are mounted directly to the roofline or soffit and stay in place year-round. You change the color and pattern via smartphone app rather than swapping fixtures. Seasonal clip-on sets go up and come down each year, which means annual labor and annual wear on both the lights and your roofline. Our permanent fixtures carry a 50,000-hour guarantee. Consumer seasonal sets rarely exceed a few hundred rated hours.
Can lighting installation damage my roof or fascia?
It can. If the installer doesn't understand roofline construction. Clip guns through shingles, staples into fascia, and improper mounting screws all create entry points for water. Because our crew are working roofers, we know exactly where not to penetrate and how to seal any mount point that does break the surface. It's the single biggest reason to hire a roofing contractor for lighting work instead of a general handyman.
How does the smartphone app control work for permanent lighting?
Our permanent systems connect to a controller that pairs with a companion app on iOS or Android. From the app, you set color scenes, animation patterns, and schedules. You can run a full holiday display on a timer, flip to your team's colors for a game night, or dim everything to a soft warm white for a summer cookout, all without touching the fixtures. We walk you through the app setup at installation.
Do you install lighting on commercial properties as well as homes?
Yes. We handle residential and commercial exterior lighting. Commercial installs typically involve larger lineal footage, more complex electrical routing, and sometimes phased installation across multiple zones. The same commercial-grade fixtures and 50,000-hour guarantee apply regardless of property type. Call 614-913-3809 to discuss a commercial project.
What happens if a fixture fails after installation?
Our permanent LED fixtures are backed by a 50,000-hour guarantee. If a fixture fails within that window, we replace it. We also offer free 24/7 lighting support, so if you're troubleshooting a zone or a controller issue, you don't have to wait until Monday morning. Support is included with every permanent installation, not billed separately.
Can you also handle a roof inspection while you're on the property for a lighting job?
Absolutely. Because our crew are trained roofers, we can do a roof inspection during the same visit. If we spot anything, lifted shingles, gutter wear, flashing issues, we'll flag it with photos before we leave. It's one of the practical advantages of hiring a full exterior contractor rather than a lighting-only company.
