It starts with a conversation
Nothing gets installed until somebody has looked at your house. That visit covers the roofline, the gables, the porch and anything else worth lighting. It costs nothing, and you are not signing anything to have it.
Custom design, not a template
Your house has its own lines, so the plan gets drawn around it. The design should work with the house, picking up the roofline and the peaks and the porch edge. On commercial work the same thinking applies to storefronts, entrances and outdoor seating.
The install itself
The crew does the whole thing. The channel is fastened along the roofline in the design, matched to the trim color so daylight hides it. Power, control box and app 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 you can actually use it that evening.
Commercial installations work the same way
A commercial job runs on the same process: consultation, design, install. The difference is usually timing. Most businesses would rather the crew work outside of open hours, so the install gets planned around the schedule.
Come prepared
Nothing is required, but the visit goes further if you have thought about a couple of things. Know where you walk at night. Think about whether you want December color, nightly light, or both, since that shapes the
https://evercrestlighting.com/about/ plan. And walk the property once at night before the visit, since the gaps only show up after sunset.
The first few weeks
Most people spend the first week trying every color in the app. After the novelty, people settle. The routine is generally a single warm white that comes on at dusk, and color kept for holidays and events.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. The practical list is short: unlock the gate, move the cars, keep the dog in. Beyond that you can go about your day.
What happens next
After that, you set what you want and it holds. Most people settle on a warm white for ordinary nights, and change it for holidays and events. EverCrest Lighting does permanent lighting installation for residential and commercial properties throughout Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina out of Greenville.
