Before anything goes on the house
Nothing gets mounted until the design is settled. Somebody walks the property, talks through what you are after, and figures out which lines are worth lighting. It costs nothing, and nobody expects a decision on the spot.
The design comes before the price
Your house is not the same shape as the one down the street, so the plan gets drawn around it. A good design traces the lines the building already has: the roof edge, the peaks, the columns, the entry. On commercial work the same thinking applies to storefronts, entrances and outdoor seating.
On the day
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 in the design, color matched to your trim so it is not the first thing a visitor sees. Wiring is run so it is not hanging in view, then the system is connected and set up on your phone. Before the crew leaves, you get shown how to run it, so you can actually use it that evening.
Commercial installations follow the same steps
A commercial job runs on the same process: consultation, design, install. The difference is usually when the crew can be on site. Most businesses would rather the crew work outside of open hours, so the work gets timed around business hours.
Getting the most out of the first visit
Nothing is required, but a little thought ahead helps. Think about where you want light, not just where you want color. Think about whether you want December color, nightly

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 after install day
Expect the first week to be color testing. After the novelty, people settle. The everyday setting tends to be simple, and it runs on a timer without anybody touching it.The other thing worth setting up early is the automatic on and off. A system that comes on and goes off without anybody thinking about it earns its keep.Homeowners do not have much to do. 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.
What happens next
From there it is a phone app and a house that lights up. The everyday setting is usually a simple warm white, and the color gets used for holidays and birthdays.
