Your Guide
MyHouseGlow is Gary and Ryan — a lighting designer and an aluminum installer who got tired of watching homeowners pay for permanent lights that still looked cheap.
Empathy
We understand how frustrating it is when the holidays arrive, friends and family are coming over, and the only option is climbing ladders to hang temporary lights that never quite match your home.
A neighbor of ours paid for permanent lighting. From the street it was too close, too strong, and too much — all year. Up close, Ryan saw the rest: exposed wire, weak connections, and sloppy transitions from track to track. That’s the job we refused to copy.
The two of us
You don’t need an electrician draping wire on a house you care about. You need the right lights in the right place — Christmas when you want Christmas, and a quiet architectural glow the other 80% of the year.
Lighting expert · mockup & vision
30+ years installing low-voltage landscape lighting. Trained by Nate Mullin, a founder of Unique Lighting. Trained 30+ installers across the country. Won Unique Lighting’s monthly best photo and install contest 25 times.
Gary designs the look: focal points, spacing, and how the house should feel on a Tuesday night — not only on December 24th.
Installer · aluminum & heights
20+ years in exterior home improvements. Built and designed aluminum pool cages and seamless gutters. Still runs that company with his son. Florida 2½-story homes and tall peaks don’t rattle him. Twenty-foot ladders and boom lifts are his normal Tuesday.
Ryan oversees every install and always does the final walkthrough himself. Corners are mitered. Connections are mechanical. No shortcuts on the parts you never see.
How we started
Gary met Ryan when Ryan came to repair Gary’s own pool cage. They’ve spent enough time together now that they think alike: mockup from Gary, install from Ryan, walkthrough from Ryan.
Based in Tampa Bay. Specializing in Pinellas County. Built for Florida homes — tile, stucco, tall peaks, and the HOA conversation done in advance so you’re not left guessing.
What we won’t do
Most of the year you don’t want overpowering Christmas lights. A system has to be designed for both: the holidays, and the quiet nights when the house should simply look like itself — only better.
Done properly, this is remarkably maintenance-free. A clean install should last years — even a decade — before lights need replacing. After you hire us, you should never climb a ladder, store a box of strings, or wonder who is coming back in January.
