Permanent Lighting Install: How the Job Gets Done|How Permanent Lighting Installation Works From First Call to First Night

Before anything goes on the house

The first step is a free consultation, not a crew on the roof. That visit covers the roofline, the gables, the porch and anything else worth lighting. There is no charge for it, and nobody expects a decision on the spot.

Why the design comes first

Your house is not the same shape as https://evercrestlighting.com/contact/ the one down the street, so the plan gets drawn around it. A good design follows the architecture that is already there: the main roofline, the gables, the dormers, the porch. Businesses get the same treatment across storefronts, entries and building corners.

On the day

The crew handles all of it. The track is fastened along the roofline in the design, matched to the trim color so daylight hides it. Power, control box and phone setup are handled as part of the install, not left for you to figure out. Before the crew leaves, somebody walks you through the app, so you can actually use it that evening.

Commercial installations work the same way

A commercial job follows the same order: look at the building, draw the plan, install it. What changes is when the work happens. Most businesses would rather the crew work outside of open hours, so the work gets timed around business hours.

Come prepared

You do not have to do homework, though a couple of answers help. Think about where you want light, not just where you want color. Think about whether you want December color, nightly light, or both, since that shapes the plan. And look at your own house after dark once, because dark spots are obvious then and invisible at two in the afternoon.

What the first month looks like

Most people play with it for a week. That is fine and expected, and then a routine sets in. The routine is generally a single warm white that comes on at dusk, with the color saved for the days that call for it.Set the schedule before you forget about it. A system that comes on and goes off without anybody thinking about it earns its keep.Homeowners are not needed for most of it. Clear access to the roofline and the outlets makes the day go faster: gates unlocked, cars moved off the drive, dogs inside. Otherwise it is not your project.

Once it is running

From there the system is yours to run. Most people settle on a warm white for ordinary nights, then change it when there is a reason to.
