Permanent lighting
in Riverside South.

The newest place we work. Most of these houses are under ten years old and some are under two, which makes the fascia clean and the runs predictable — and puts a builder warranty and a narrow lot in the middle of every conversation.

Riverside South housing stock

New fascia is the easy part. The lot is not.

Riverside South is the most consistent housing stock in our coverage: post-2005 construction almost end to end, much of it post-2018, from the Limebank and Spratt Road streets out to Earl Armstrong. Straight cladding and factory-clean fascia mean fast, predictable installs — and two constraints the older parts of the city do not have.

The first is the warranty. On a house this new the builder's obligations are still live and, on the latest phases, the purchase agreement may carry an architectural control clause. Our standard install does not touch the roof: the track fastens to the wood sub-fascia behind the cladding, every penetration is sealed, and nothing goes through shingles or into the roof deck. We will put that detail in writing for you to send to the builder before we start — it is a five-minute email that has never once come back as a problem, and it is far better than finding out afterwards.

The second is space. A lot of these lots are thirty feet wide or narrower, some blocks are rear-lane townhomes, and the side yards will not take a lift. That is a plan we make at the site visit, not on install morning — usually a front-set lift with ladder work down the sides, staged so nothing tracks across new sod or sits on a fresh driveway. If your landscaping is not in yet, tell us: installing before the sod and interlock go down is the easiest version of this job.

  • Written detail for your builderFastening method, penetration sealing and the fact that no roof surface is touched — on paper, before we install.
  • No roof penetrationsFascia, sub-fascia and trim only. We never fasten through shingles or into the roof deck, which is where leaks actually start.
  • Access planned for a narrow lotThirty-foot lots and rear-lane townhomes get a front-set lift and staged ladder work, agreed at the quote.
  • New sod and driveways respectedNothing heavy crosses fresh sod or a new driveway. If your landscaping is not in yet, this is the cheapest moment to install.
What we install here

Lighting services in Riverside South

Roofline first, and usually the whole front elevation including the gables — new elevations here have a lot of them. Smart control and custom zones follow later, once the deck, the pergola or the pool goes in.

Riverside South questions

Answered

Our house is two years old. Will this affect the builder warranty?

It should not, and we make that easy to verify. There is no roof penetration in a standard install — the track fastens to the wood sub-fascia behind the cladding and every penetration is sealed. Check your own warranty wording, and if the builder wants the method in writing we will provide it before install day rather than after.

There is no room to get a lift down the side of the house.

Common here, and it is a scheduling question rather than an obstacle. We set the lift at the front where the driveway can take it and work the sides and rear from ladders, staged so the crew is not carrying track across your neighbour's lot. We settle that plan at the site visit so install morning holds no surprises.

Our landscaping is not in yet. Should we wait?

No — install now if you can. With no sod, no interlock and no fencing there is nothing to protect and nothing to work around, so it is the fastest and least disruptive version of the job. It also means the cable routing and the transformer location can be set before the grading is finished rather than around it.

Is Riverside South priced differently from the rest of Ottawa?

No. One price list applies across every area we serve and there is no travel line on a Riverside South quote. What moves the number is linear footage, how many roof segments you want followed, and how much work is at height — not the postal code.
