Before any hardware goes up
The first step is a free consultation, not a truck in the driveway. That visit covers which edges to run, where the power is, and how you want to use it. The consultation is free and there is no obligation attached to it.
Custom design, not a template
Every roofline is a little different, which is why one plan does not fit every home. The design should read the house, picking up the roofline and the peaks and the porch edge. On commercial work the same thinking applies to facades, entries and patios.
The install itself
The crew does the whole thing. The track follows the design and matches the trim. Wiring gets tucked and routed out of sight, and the system gets tied into power and set up on the app. Before the crew leaves, you get shown how to run it, so the first night is not a guessing game.
Commercial installations follow the same steps
A commercial job follows the same order: look at the building, draw the plan, install it. What changes is when the work happens. Install timing works around when you are open, since the front of the building has to stay usable.
Come prepared
Nothing is required, but a little thought ahead helps. Think about which parts of the property you use after dark. Think about whether this is mostly a holiday purchase or mostly an everyday one, because the answer changes the design. And look at your own house after dark once, since the gaps only show up after sunset.
What the first month looks like

The practical list is short: unlock the gate, move the cars, keep the dog in. Otherwise the day belongs to the installers.
After the install
After that, you pick your everyday setting and forget about it. The everyday setting is usually a simple warm white, and the color gets used for holidays and birthdays.
