It starts with a conversation
Nothing gets mounted until the design is settled. That visit covers the roofline, the gables, the porch and anything else worth lighting. It costs nothing, and nobody expects a decision on the spot.
The design comes before the price
Every roofline is a little different, which is why a template design usually looks off. A good design traces the lines the building already has: the roof edge, the peaks, the columns, the entry. Businesses get the same treatment across the facade, the entrance and the patio.
On the day
The crew handles all of it. The track gets mounted along the lines in the design, color matched to your trim so it is not the first thing a visitor sees. Wiring is run so it is not hanging in view, and the system gets tied into power and set up on the app. Before the crew leaves, somebody walks you through the app, so the first night is not a guessing game.
Commercial work
For a business the steps are the same, although the scale is different. What changes is the scheduling. Install timing gets planned around your hours, since the front of the building has to stay usable.
Come prepared
Nothing is required, but a little thought ahead helps. Think about where you want light, not just where you want color. Decide what the everyday setting should do, and say so out loud. And look at your own house after dark once, since the gaps only show up after sunset.
What the first month looks like
Expect a few evenings of experimenting. That is fine and

The everyday setting ends up plain, and it runs on a timer without anybody touching it.The other thing to do in the first week is the automatic on and off. Lighting you have to remember to turn on gets used less than lighting that turns itself on.Homeowners do not have much to do. Clear access around the house helps: an unlocked gate, a clear driveway, pets in the house. Beyond that you can go about your day.
