About Us — Starise Permanent Lighting Calgary

Gabriel D. Co-Founder, Starise Lighting Inc.

Daniel R. Co-Founder, Starise Lighting Inc.

How it started

We got tired of the same old promises.

Gabriel spent a large portion of his life in the trades — deep in electrical, building, and homes — and knew exactly what a proper install looked like. Daniel spent his watching businesses sell homeowners the worst product at the highest price and call it a deal.

Together, they built Starise around a simple idea: do it right, charge fairly, and never cut corners. No subscriptions. No cheap 12V systems. No out-of-province franchises with no stake in this community.

Today, Starise is Calgary's most experienced permanent lighting company — and we're not going anywhere. Every install we do is a home we drive past, a neighbour we know, a community we're proud to be part of.

What we stand for

The principles behind every install.

These aren't slogans. They're the decisions we make every day on every job.

🔍

Radical transparency on price

We put our pricing range on our website, our ads, and our quote forms. No bait-and-switch. If a job falls outside that range, we tell you why before you sign anything.

⚡

Technology that outperforms

We only install Gen 2 24V systems — brighter, more efficient, and longer-lasting than the 12V technology most competitors still use. We won't cut corners to win on price.

🇨🇦

Canadian Electrical Code on every job

Permanent lighting is electrical work. Every Starise install meets Canadian Electrical Code standards. It's not optional — it's how we protect your home and your warranty.

🏙️

Locally owned, locally accountable

We're not a franchise collecting royalties from out of province. Every dollar stays in Calgary. Every decision is made here. We're your neighbours — and we act like it.

💬

Service that doesn't stop at install

We set up your app, dial in your favourite presets, and stay available after the job is done. Our goal is that you never need to call us for a problem — but if you do, we answer.

♾️

Designed for the long run

Our systems are rated for 15+ years in Alberta weather. We don't sell you something that looks great at install and fades in two winters. We're building Calgary's permanently lit homes.
