Every home has architectural features worth showcasing—stonework, columns, dormers, rooflines, entryways, textures. Our approach is never “one-size-fits-all.”

The result? A home that looks extraordinary—without looking overlit.

“We used Garrett and his team this past summer and they did an absolutely fantastic job! Garrett was amazing to work with and really took pride in his business, which shows in the quality of the work. He provided many options and renderings, working with us to ensure we were provided with exactly what we needed. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to increase the value of their home though external lighting options!”

—Aaron, a Leesburg homeowner

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Architectural and accent lighting projects in Northern Virginia typically range from $3,000 to $30,000+ for single-family homes. The final cost depends on the size of your home, the number of architectural features being highlighted, fixture selection, and the level of customization. High-end materials and precise fixture placement are key to achieving a refined, balanced look.

  • Architectural lighting is designed to highlight the structure and character of your home. This includes features like columns, stonework, facades, entryways, and rooflines. The goal is to enhance depth, texture, and symmetry—creating a dramatic yet elegant nighttime appearance that elevates curb appeal.

  • Uplighting places fixtures at ground level and directs light upward to emphasize vertical features like columns, walls, and trees. Downlighting (often called moonlighting) positions fixtures higher up—such as in trees or on structures—to cast soft, natural light downward. Most high-end designs use a combination of both techniques to create depth and dimension.

  • What types of lighting are used to highlight a home’s exterior?

  • Installation timelines depend on the size and complexity of your home. Smaller projects can often be completed in a day, while larger homes with multiple architectural elements may take several days. We provide a detailed timeline during the design phase so you know exactly what to expect.

  • Professional architectural lighting is about precision and design—not just visibility. Every fixture is selected and placed to enhance your home’s unique features, creating depth, contrast, and balance. The result is a refined, cohesive look that elevates your home’s nighttime presence in a way standard lighting cannot achieve.
