Wake Forest Lighting Installation
GROOVEE Lighting covers Wake Forest, NC from its Holly Springs base. It is the longest run on our regular schedule at about 45 minutes up NC 540 and US 1, and it is still a scheduled route rather than a special trip.
Same lights. Your call.
For all the ordinary, wonderful evenings.
Same home. Same lights. A different setting.
Most of This Town Went Up Recently
Wake Forest went from 30,117 residents in 2010 to 47,601 in 2020, an increase of 58.1 percent, and Forbes had already named it the 20th fastest-growing suburb in America back in 2007.
A town that adds households at that rate puts up most of its housing stock inside a narrow window, and newer construction tends to run consistent fascia depth and gutter profiles, which is what permanent LED track mounts to.
We still measure your actual roofline at the estimate visit rather than reading it off a build date, but on the newer streets there is less to resolve before the design is settled.

Scheduled as a stop on a regular route.
Wake Forest sits north of Raleigh while our base sits southwest of it, which makes this the longest run we schedule. We plan it as a route with several stops rather than a single trip per address, which is what keeps a town this far up inside the regular calendar instead of on a waiting list.
Know roughly when your house went up.
A build date is the single most useful thing you can tell us before the walk-around. It points at the fascia and gutter profile the track has to mount to, and on a street put up inside the last decade or two that points at a simpler mounting profile. It does not replace the measurement — we still take that on your actual roofline — but it tells us what to expect before we get there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Wake Forest is north of Raleigh and you are south of it. Is that a scheduling problem?
It is the longest run we schedule, about 45 minutes up NC 540 and US 1, and it is planned as a route rather than a one-off. Wake Forest work is grouped so the drive is made once for several stops instead of once per house.
My house was built in the last few years. Does newer construction change the install?
Recent construction tends to run consistent fascia depth and gutter profiles, which is what the track mounts to, so there is less to work around once we are on a ladder. We still measure your actual roofline at the estimate visit rather than assuming it from a build date.
Do you cover the Franklin County part of town?
Yes. Wake Forest sits almost entirely in Wake County with a portion extending into Franklin County, and our coverage follows the town boundary rather than the county line.
Can you work on the older houses near the historic district?
Older rooflines are a design question, not a disqualifier. Deeper eaves, wood fascia and original trim change how track is mounted and where the runs break, so those homes get more time at the estimate visit and a layout built around what is actually up there.
Do you install permanent lighting and Christmas lighting on the same visit?
Both services are available at one estimate visit. You can have the permanent system designed and quoted alongside a seasonal install, or take either one on its own.
