Can You Put Permanent Lights on a Brick Home?
See how Apollo mounts permanent roofline lighting on brick homes across the Oklahoma City metro, which look suits brick best, and what we check at your quote.
Yes. Apollo installs permanent lighting on brick homes across the Oklahoma City metro. Apollo's low-profile LED track runs along your fascia or roofline edge, not across the brick itself. So the brick stays the star, and the lights frame it.
Where the Track Goes on a Brick Home
The track mounts to your fascia or roofline edge. That is how Apollo describes every install, brick or not. On a typical brick house, the brick covers the walls. The eaves, fascia, and trim above it are a different surface. That is where the track goes.
This is why a brick home is not a special case. The track follows the same eave and roofline your house already has. Your installer measures those lines in person during the free quote. They also note your fascia style, soffit depth, and gables. Then the design step maps your mounting plan before the crew arrives.
Some brick homes also have brick or stone accents at the roofline. A chimney is a common one. A gable end with a masonry face is another. Masonry is not always flat. So Apollo maps the track during design to run cleanly above or around the accent, not across it. The finished result reads as one roofline detail. For the full breakdown by surface, read roofline and soffit types for permanent lighting.
Which Look Works Best on Brick
Warm white is the classic look for brick. Apollo's accent lighting is a soft warm white tone that flatters brick, stone, and siding without looking like Christmas lights. It comes on at dusk and runs every night. Many homeowners with brick choose it as their everyday setting, because it makes the house look finished after dark.
Warm white is only one setting, though. The same track holds 16 million-plus colors. So a brick home can switch to Christmas red and green, Halloween orange, or your team's colors from the app. Brick is a neutral backdrop for color. A saved scene is a one-tap change. No one re-hangs anything.
The gallery shows both ends of that range. One brick home has a warm amber roofline with Halloween decor at the entry. Another has a close-up of multicolor lights along a brick roofline. You can judge both in the gallery.
Will the Track Show on a Brick House in Daylight?
Not from normal viewing distance. The track is color-matched to your trim and sits tight against the eave. In daylight it reads as part of the roofline. Most visitors do not notice it until the lights come on.
Color-matching is the detail that does the work. On a brick home, the trim above the brick sets the color. The track is matched to that trim as part of the install. It is not a generic strip in one stock color. For more on this, see do permanent lights look bad in the daytime.
Up close, you can see it, the same as any trim detail. That is true of any fascia board, gutter, or soffit. The goal is that it blends in from the street and from a neighbor's yard.
What We Check at Your Quote
We check your roofline in person, and we do not guess from a photo. Your installer measures your rooflines and eaves. They look at the fascia, the soffit depth, the gables, and any brick or stone accents. Then they recommend the mounting method for each section.
A few things are worth thinking about before that visit:
- Your trim color. Tell your installer if you plan to repaint soon. The track is color-matched to the trim you have.
- Which features you want to highlight. An entry, a gable, or a chimney line can each run on its own zone. That is one reason brick homes suit accent lighting so well.
- Your HOA, if you have one. Many HOAs allow permanent lighting because it is discreet by day. Apollo can provide product specifications to support an approval request. See will your HOA approve permanent lighting.
Every installation is priced individually, based on roofline length, complexity, and the zones and features you choose. The quote gives you a price specific to your home. Ready to start? Request a free quote, or call (405) 891-5391.
FAQ
Does the track run across the brick?
No. The track mounts to your fascia or roofline edge, not across the brick walls. Your installer confirms the exact mounting method for each section of your home during the free quote and design step.
What color lights look best on a brick house?
Warm white is the classic everyday look, because it flatters brick without looking like holiday lights. Since the track also holds 16 million-plus colors, you can switch to holiday or team colors from the app whenever you want.
Can the lights go around a brick chimney or stone accent?
Yes. Your installer maps the track during the custom design step so it runs cleanly above or around brick and stone accents, not across uneven masonry. The finished result reads as one roofline detail.
Will permanent lights look obvious on my brick home during the day?
No, not from a normal viewing distance. The track is color-matched to your trim and sits tight against the eave, so it is discreet in daylight. Most visitors never notice it until the lights come on.
Do I need to take the lights down for the holidays?
No. The track stays up year-round. You change colors from the app, so Christmas, Halloween, game day, and everyday warm white all run on the same install.
