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
