It starts with a conversation
The first step is a free consultation, not a truck in the driveway. Somebody walks the property, asks how you use the outside of your home, and works out where the light should go. The consultation is free and it does not commit you to anything.
Custom design, not a template
Every roofline is a little different, which is why one plan does not fit every home. A good design follows the architecture that is already there: the roof edge, the peaks, the columns, the entry. On commercial work the same thinking applies to storefronts, entrances and outdoor seating.
What install day involves
Installation is professional, which is a plain way of saying nobody in your family goes up a ladder. The channel gets mounted along the lines

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 you can actually use it that evening.
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 gets planned around your hours, because nobody wants scaffolding across the front door on a Friday.
Getting the most out of the first visit
You do not have to do homework, but a few things make the visit better. Know where you walk at night. Decide whether the main job is holidays or ordinary evenings, and say it during the visit. And walk the property once at night before the visit, since the gaps only show up after sunset.
What the first month looks like
Most people spend the first week trying every color in the app. That is part of it, and then almost everybody settles into a routine. The routine is generally a single warm white that comes on at dusk, and color kept for holidays and events.The other thing worth setting up early is the schedule itself. Lighting you have to remember to turn on does not get used as much.Homeowners do not have much to do. The practical list is short: unlock the gate, move the cars, keep the dog in. Otherwise the day belongs to the installers.
What happens next
From there it is a phone app and a house that lights up. The everyday setting usually ends up plain and warm, with color kept for the days that call for it.

They also handle takedown and off season storage on traditional holiday lighting. To start, call (864) 252-1732 or email
