Day 1-2: Design & Mockup (24-48 hours)
Our design team creates a custom mockup of your home with lighting.
Day 2-3: Review & Approve (your schedule)
Review the design, ask questions, and approve the proposal.
Day 5-14: Installation Scheduled
Once approved, installation is typically scheduled within 1-2 weeks, depending on demand.
Installation Day: 4-8 Hours
- Arrive and prep (30 min)
- Mount track along roofline (2-4 hours)
- Install LED modules (1-2 hours)
- Wire controller and test (30-60 min)
- App setup and walkthrough (15-30 min)
What Affects Installation Time?
- Home size: Larger homes = more footage = more time
- Roof complexity: Multiple peaks, dormers, and varying heights add time
- Height: Two-story+ requires more setup
- Additional zones: Accent lighting on gables, columns, etc.
- Weather: Installations are weather-dependent for safety
