Hey Twin Cities, Iâm Nick â the guy behind Groovy Homes. Wanted to introduce myself, so you know who we are.
Right out of high school I didnât go the college route. I started knocking on doors and cleaning windows, doing whatever honest work I could find. Window cleaning, pressure washing, holiday lights⊠if it kept people off ladders and made their homes look better, I was in.
Over time, a pattern kept showing up:
- Homeowners wanted someone local they could trust
- They were tired of âoneâandâdoneâ contractors who disappeared after getting paid
- And they were especially frustrated with lighting burntâout strips, sloppy installs, and no one answering the phone when something broke
When I started digging into permanent lighting, I realized how bad it really was. A lot of companies were just reselling the same shortâlived systems at big markups, or bolting lighting onto a roofing / gutter business with no real specialization.
Thatâs when Groovy Homes really clicked for me. For real.
Instead of treating lighting as a side job, I decided to build a company around one thing:
- Permanent architectural lifetime lighting that looks builtâin, survives Minnesota winters, and is still going strong a decade from now.
Our mission for everyone at Groovy Homes is simple:
We exist so homeowners never have to waste money on disposable lighting again.
In a market full of boltâon contractors and shortâterm fixes, we want to be the permanent lighting company youâre still glad you chose 20+ years from now.
So thatâs what we focus on every day:
- Designing clean, architectural lighting that disappears into the house by day
- Using systems rated for long life and cold weather
- Installing it like itâs our own home, and standing behind it as a local company
Weâre still a small team, and we like it that way. It lets us know our customers by name, show up when thereâs an issue, and actually care about how each project turns out.
From now until the end of June (6/30/26) we are offering $400 off your first project + a free design with us when you mention this post!
If you ever have questions about permanent lighting, want to understand the different options, or just want an honest opinion before you hire somebody, you can message me here anytime.
Thanks for supporting local trades in Minnesota. It really does matter.
