Permanent Lighting Install: Step by Step, From Quote to Switch On|What Goes Into a Permanent Lighting Installation

Step one is a free consultation

Nothing gets mounted until somebody has looked at your https://evercrestlighting.com/ 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.

The design is drawn for your house

Your house is not the same shape as the one down the street, so the plan gets drawn around it. The design should read the house, following the roof edge, the gables and the entry. On commercial work the same thinking applies to facades, entries and patios.

What install day involves

The crew does the whole thing. 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. Power, controller and phone setup are handled as part of the install, not left on your kitchen table in a box. 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 timing. Most businesses would rather the crew work outside of open hours, so the install gets planned around the schedule.

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. Know which parts of the house you use in the evening. Think about whether you want December color, nightly light, or both, since that shapes the plan. And walk the property once at night before the visit, because dark spots are obvious then and invisible at two in the afternoon.

Living with the system after install day

Most people spend the first week trying every color in the app. That is part of it, and then a routine sets in. The everyday setting tends to be simple, and the schedule does the work.The other thing worth setting up early is the schedule itself. Lighting that needs a decision every evening gets used less than lighting that turns itself on.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. Otherwise it is not your project.
