A century of auto-town housing. Early brick near the downtown, post-war storey-and-a-halfs and bungalows through the middle, and new two-storeys going up in Kedron and Windfields near the 407.

Oshawa's housing runs in bands from the lake north, and each band has its own fascia, its own roofline and its own price. We quote the house in front of us rather than a city average.
The older streets around downtown and the northwest of the core are early-twentieth-century brick and frame, with steep front gables, deep porches and the occasional heritage property. Brick gets mortar-joint fastening only, and porch rooflines are often worth lighting as their own run. South and central Oshawa — Lakeview, Vanier, Central Park, Donevan, Eastdale — are largely post-war bungalows, storey-and-a-halfs and side-splits, with low eaves and short runs that keep the total down.
Samac, Pinecrest, Taunton and Centennial are the 1970s to 90s middle, and Kedron, Windfields and the streets north of Taunton toward the 407 are new: two-storeys and townhome rows with brick or stone fronts and builder fascia. On townhomes the fascia is continuous across the block, so we terminate cleanly at your property line and put the controller in your own garage.
Roofline across every part of the city, facade and sign-band work on Simcoe, King and the plazas, and multi-unit lighting for the townhome and low-rise blocks near the university and college campuses.
Colour-matched track under the roofline holding addressable RGBW LEDs. Warm white every night, full colour when you want it, and no ladder in November.

Be the brightest thing on the block at 5pm in December. Facade, signage band and entry lighting that turns dark-at-4:30 into an advantage.

Condo, apartment and townhome portfolios lit once, controlled centrally, and maintained on a schedule instead of by complaint.

Yes, into the mortar joints and never the brick face — a hole in the face is permanent and spalls after a few winters, while mortar is meant to be repointed. On houses with a deep front porch we often run the porch roofline as its own zone, which is where these houses look best at night.
It brings it down. A single-storey roofline is a short run with no lift and little work at height, so it is the lowest-cost roofline we install. The eaves are close to eye level, so the result also reads strongly from the street.
Yes. The fascia runs continuously across the block, so we end the track cleanly at your property line, put the controller in your own garage or basement, and leave the run addressable so a neighbour can join later without re-cutting yours. If your condo corporation governs exterior changes, check the declaration first — we can supply spec sheets for the board.
Yes. Facade, sign-band and canopy lighting on commercial frontage runs on the same hardware and app as residential, with schedules set around your hours. Multi-unit and townhome blocks are quoted with the property manager or board in mind.
We will measure, hold track colours against your own fascia and leave you an itemised number. No deposit, no obligation.
