Before any hardware goes up
Nothing gets installed until the design is settled. Somebody walks the property, asks how you use the outside of your home, and figures out which lines are worth lighting. The consultation is free and there is no obligation attached to it.
Custom design, not a template
Your house is not the same shape as the one down the street, so the plan gets drawn for it. A good design traces the lines the building already has: 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 channel goes up along the planned lines and is color matched to the house. 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, you get shown how to run it, so you can actually use it that evening.
Commercial work
For a business the steps do not change, although the scale is different. The difference is usually timing. Most businesses would rather the crew work outside of open hours, so the work gets timed around business hours.
What to think about before the consultation
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. Decide what
https://evercrestlighting.com/contact/ the everyday setting should do, and say it during the visit. And look at your own house after dark once, because dark spots are obvious then and invisible at two in the afternoon.
Living with the system once it is up
Most people play with it for a week. That is fine and expected, and then almost everybody settles into a routine. The everyday setting tends to be simple, and the schedule does the work.Set the schedule in the first few days. A system that comes on and goes off without anybody thinking about it gets used.There is very little you have to do on install day. Clear access to the roofline and the outlets makes the day go faster: an unlocked gate, a clear driveway, pets in the house. Beyond that you can go about your day.
After the install
From there the system is yours to run. The everyday setting usually ends up plain and warm, with color kept for the days that call for it.
