Before anything goes on the house
The first step is a look at the property, not a crew on the roof. Somebody walks the property, talks through what you are after, and figures out which lines are worth lighting. It costs nothing, and you are not signing anything to have it.
The design comes before the price
Your house has its own lines, so the plan gets drawn around it. The design should work with the house, following the roof edge, the gables and the entry. On commercial work the same thinking applies to facades, entries and patios.
On the day
Installation is professional, meaning the ladders, the track and the wiring are theirs to deal with. The channel follows the design and is color matched to the house. Power, control box and phone setup are part of the job, not left for you to figure out. Before the crew leaves, you get shown how to run it, so the first night is not a guessing game.
Business installs
A commercial job follows the same order: look at the building, draw the plan, install it. What changes is the scheduling. Most businesses do not want ladders in front of the entrance at lunch, so the work gets timed around business hours.
Getting the most out of the first visit
Nothing is required, but the visit goes further if you have thought about a couple of things. 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.

The routine is usually one warm white on a dusk schedule, with the color saved for the days that call for it.Set the schedule in the first few days. A system that comes on and goes off without anybody thinking about it earns its keep.There is very little you have to do on install day. The practical list is short: access to the perimeter, a clear driveway and pets indoors. Beyond that the crew works and you do not have to hover.
