Bought Govee permanent lights and realized your roofline is two stories up? You’re not alone. Govee sells the lights, but the installation is up to you or a local pro. Here’s who installs Govee lights, what a good install looks like, what it costs, and how to find someone near you.
1. Who installs Govee lights?
Govee permanent lights are usually installed by permanent lighting companies, Christmas light installers, and some electricians and handymen. Many will install a kit you already bought, or supply the lights for you.
- Permanent lighting companies: install year-round lights every day and usually mount them in a track.
- Christmas light installers: already work on rooflines all season. Many now offer Govee and other permanent lights.
- Electricians: helpful if you need a new outdoor outlet near the eave.
- Handymen: fine for a simple one-story roofline. Ask to see past permanent light jobs.
2. How to find a Govee installer near you
- Search installers by city on ChristmasPlug. Many list permanent and color-changing lights in their services. Browse installers.
- Search Google Maps for “permanent lights installation” or “Govee installation” and check for photos of finished jobs.
- Ask your Christmas light company if they install permanent lights.

3. Ask about the track: why it matters
The best Govee installs mount the lights in an aluminum track under the eave. The track keeps every light straight and pointed down, hides the wires, and holds up much better than tape alone.
Govee kits come with adhesive tape and clips. That works on smooth, clean surfaces, but heat, brick, stone and texture can make tape fail. A track, such as SnapTrack, screws to the soffit, and the lights click into it. SnapTrack is powder-coated aluminum, comes in several colors to match your trim, and is made for Govee’s Original, Elite, Pro and Prism lights. It’s our top pick for a clean Govee install.
4. Questions to ask before you hire
- Will you install lights I already bought, or do you supply them?
- Do you mount them in a track, or with tape and clips?
- Where will the controller and power go? Do I need a new outlet?
- Will you set up the Govee app, scenes and schedules for me?
- What’s your warranty on the installation?
- Can I see photos of Govee jobs you’ve done?
5. What Govee installation costs
Govee permanent lights professionally installed in a track usually cost $2,000 to $6,000, depending on how much roofline you light, the number of stories and peaks, and whether the installer supplies the lights.
