Architectural uplighting that makes your home the best-looking house on the street.
Front-of-house uplighting is the single highest-impact lighting upgrade a home can make. By grazing warm, even light up the brick, stone, and architectural lines of your facade, we turn a dark house into a landmark the moment the sun goes down. Our designers balance every fixture so columns, gables, and entryways glow without hot spots or glare — the look of a luxury hotel, on your home.
Every install uses professional-grade brass and aluminum fixtures from FX Luminaire, wired to a smart transformer so the whole front comes on automatically at dusk and off at dawn. Alabama humidity, storms, and clay soil are exactly what these systems are built for — and every fixture carries a lifetime warranty.
We design around your home's specific architecture: white brick takes a soft, even wash; deep-gabled stone wants tighter beams up the peaks; mature crape myrtles and oaks earn their own uplights so the whole property reads as one composed scene. If you want the house that makes the neighbors slow down, this is where we start.
"For us, the lighting is all about how safe it makes our home feel at night. Looking good is just a bonus. The Chesapeake team listened to exactly what we wanted and got it right the first time."
Most front-of-house projects in the Birmingham and Tuscaloosa area fall in the lower-middle of our typical project range — see our cost guide for real numbers. The biggest variables are facade width, number of trees, and fixture grade. We give exact fixed quotes after a free nighttime demo at your home.
Barely. We use compact ground-mounted uplights tucked into beds and behind shrubs, in bronze or brass finishes that disappear into the landscape. At night you see the effect, not the hardware.
Yes — a well-lit facade removes the dark zones burglars prefer, without floodlight glare. Many of our customers tell us the safety difference is what they notice first.
Most front-of-house systems are installed in a single day. Wiring is buried, beds are left cleaner than we found them, and the system comes on that same evening.
One permanent roofline system. Warm white nightly, any color on game day, red & green at Christmas.
