What it costs in Harrisburg — kit prices, pulled live

These are the same numbers on my product pages, read from the store when this page was built (October 11, 2026). I'd rather you have the number before you give anyone your phone number.

Every roofline kit includes the aluminum track, RGBW strands, the pitch-matched TrueCenter Apex Track peak, a 600 W power supply, the 4-zone controller, color-matched hardware and the install guide. Roof pitch (4/12, 6/12, 9/12, 12/12) and track color are chosen at checkout.

What the whole job runs

The kit above is the material part of the job. The rest is labor, ladders, insurance, the time to measure and lay out your roofline, and somebody standing behind the work once it's on your house. Mark sets that number after seeing your roof, and I don't publish a range for it — his pricing is his to quote, not mine to guess at.

What the installer adds, and why I don't quote it

Labor. Mark measures your roofline, picks the pitch and color, mounts the track, and stands behind the work on your roof. That price depends on your house — stories, gables, access, how many peaks — and he sets it, not me. Any installed price I printed here would be a guess dressed up as a fact, so you get the half I control and the name of the person who quotes the rest.

Who installs it here

Nobody paid to be on this page. Mark Tretter runs TPR Property Services, a veteran-owned company, and he's here because he bought the track, not a spot. His permanent lighting page names IronPeak, gives a phone number and a Pennsylvania home improvement contractor number (PA HIC #113995), and says he serves Central Pennsylvania. It lists no address and no towns. I have him based in Hummelstown, from the address on the website of TPR Concrete Coatings, which lists the same phone number. Harrisburg is my pick for this page, about 9 miles from Hummelstown — my choice, not his.

Why the peak looks right — and how it goes on a Harrisburg roofline

Most systems start at the gutter and work up, so spacing errors pile up at the peak — the one spot everyone looks at from the street. The TrueCenter Apex Track is a one-piece, pitch-matched peak that goes on first, so the lights center on your ridge and the run works outward symmetrically. It's patent-pending, it ships in your track color, and it goes up in under 5 minutes instead of 25-plus minutes of cutting on a ladder.

1. Measure and quote. Mark measures the roofline, matches the track color to your fascia and soffit, and quotes labor on top of the kit price above.
2. Peak first. The Apex Track matched to your pitch — 4/12, 6/12, 9/12 or 12/12 — is fastened at the ridge with its center node dead on the apex. Under 5 minutes.
3. Track outward. 1-meter sections of 6063-T6 aluminum are screwed to the fascia both directions from the peak. Strands plug together with factory-terminated waterproof connectors — no cutting, no splicing on the roof.
4. One box, one power connection. The 600 W supply and 4-zone controller share one enclosure. The app goes on your phone and the schedule gets set for Harrisburg, not a factory default.

30-Day Perfect Peak Guarantee — From our product pages: “If any Apex peak doesn't sit true and symmetrical out of the box, we replace it free and cover the shipping — no hassle.”

What you control from your phone

One controller, four independent zones, an app on your phone. Christmas is Christmas, and the rest of the year the house reads as plain warm white, or off.

• Colors. RGBW nodes — red, green, blue and a true 2800K warm white — so Christmas is Christmas and the rest of the year the house reads as plain warm white, or off.
• Zones. Four independent outputs with their own node counts and animations; the front can run a scene while the back stays white.
• Schedules and scenes. Timers, presets and saved scenes over WiFi or Bluetooth. Tap once for Thanksgiving, once more for game day.
• Brightness. Dimmable. I don't publish a brightness rating; ask Mark whether there's a lit house you can see.

Set the on-time for Harrisburg's own sunset, because it comes early here in December:

Built for Harrisburg weather

This is not a decorative problem. A Harrisburg winter is freezing nights and snow, and that is the reason a permanently mounted track beats clips you handle twice a year.

Harrisburg's normal December brings 4.4 inches of snow and January 9.1, on 3.43 and 3.03 inches of total precipitation (1991-2020 normals). Source: NOAA NCEI 1991-2020 Normals (station USW00014711), fetched October 11, 2026.

What that means for the hardware

• Water: every LED node is encapsulated in UV-stabilized polyurethane, which flexes through freeze-thaw instead of cracking like epoxy, and every connector is factory-terminated and waterproof — zero field splices, so there is no gel-filled joint to fail in a wet December.
• Power: the whole run is low-voltage 24 V DC from one 600 W supply with multi-layer surge protection built in.
• Wind: the 6063-T6 aluminum track is screwed to the fascia, not clipped or glued, and the wire is 18 AWG UV-resistant three-conductor — heavier than the 20 AWG most systems ship.
• Sun: The track is up through Harrisburg's summer too; the UV-stabilized encapsulation and the powder-coated track are there for July as much as for December.

What it looks like in daylight

You see the track, not the lights. It sits under the roofline in 1-meter powder-coated sections and comes in four colors so it matches the fascia or soffit instead of announcing itself.

• Matte Black — dark trim.
• White — white fascia and vinyl soffit.
• Oyster White — cream and off-white trim.
• Brown — brown fascia, cedar and darker brick.

Mark picks the color against your trim at the quote. Availability varies by color and pitch, so decide early.

When Harrisburg expects the lights on

Harrisburg's winter sets the calendar. Frost alone doesn't stop an install, but ice on the roof edge does.

So put the date you want in the form, and Mark will tell you what he has when he gets in touch.

What to hand your HOA

I can't tell you what your HOA allows, and nobody else online can either — your covenants govern, not me. If you live in a condominium or a planned community, ask the association in writing before you book, and have the answer before install day.

If you do need approval, get the request in before the install date, not after. What to attach:

• The track color you're using, against a photo of your trim (the four colors are above).
• One sentence that the fixture is a low-profile aluminum track mounted under the roofline, with no exposed bulbs or wire.
• Your schedule: what hours it runs, and that outside the holidays it's warm white or off.

What it adds to your power bill

Two competitors print a monthly dollar figure with no source. Here is the arithmetic so you can check mine.

kWh per month = nodes × 0.96 W ÷ 1000 × hours per night × nights. 0.96 W is the maximum draw per node from my spec sheet; a node is one puck, spaced one per foot.

Example: a 100 ft kit carries 100 nodes. 100 × 0.96 W = 96 W. Six hours a night for a month: 0.096 kW × 180 h = 17.28 kWh. At Pennsylvania's July 2026 average residential price of 21.72 cents a kilowatt hour that is about $3.75 a month — at full white, every node, every night. Colors and dimming draw less; your actual tariff and riders may differ.

The one maintenance task

Nothing comes down in January and nothing goes in the attic. The one job left is a rinse when the season's grime washes off — from the ground, with a hose.

Start with the front, add the rest later

The controller has four independent zones. I'd start with zones 1 and 2 on the front roofline and add the gables, sides or the second story on zones 3 and 4 later — even a year later — with a 25 ft add-on ($299) or a 50 ft add-on ($499). Same power supply, same controller, nothing re-mapped. The add-on is the same track and the same nodes at the same spacing, so the join is invisible.

The warranty, word for word

From our product pages:

30-Day Perfect Peak Guarantee — “If any Apex peak doesn't sit true and symmetrical out of the box, we replace it free and cover the shipping — no hassle.”

5-Year Product Warranty — “The components — LED strands, controller, and power supply — are covered against product defects for 5 years from purchase. (Normal weather wear-and-tear isn't a defect and isn't covered.)”

First-order money-back — “Your first 100 ft kit is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee — return the material and your refund comes back as cash.”

The refund structure — what comes back as cash and what comes back as store credit — is on the returns and guarantee page, in full, rather than paraphrased here. Labor on your roof is TPR Property Services' to stand behind; the product is mine.

Harrisburg-area towns

Mark's lighting page says Central Pennsylvania and names no towns, so this list is mine — towns near Harrisburg, by distance. Whether your house suits a roofline kit is for him to say once he sees it; here is how Harrisburg's own homes break down.
