Before anything goes on the house
The first step is a look at the property, not a truck in the driveway. Somebody comes out and looks at the roofline, asks how you use the outside of your home, and works out where the light should go. The consultation is free and it does not commit you to anything.
Custom design, not a template
Every roofline is a little different, which is why a template design usually looks off. A good design follows the architecture that is already there: the roof edge, the peaks, the columns, the entry. On commercial work the same thinking applies to storefronts, entrances and outdoor seating.
The install itself
Installation is professional, meaning the ladders, the track and the wiring are theirs to deal with. The channel gets mounted along the lines in the design, matched to the trim color so daylight hides it. Power, control box and phone setup are part of the job, not left for you to figure out. Before the crew leaves, somebody walks you through the app, so you can actually use it that evening.
Commercial installations follow the same steps
For a business the steps are the same, although the scale is different. The difference is usually when the crew can be on site. Install timing gets planned around your hours, since the front of the building has to stay usable.
Come prepared
Nothing is required, but a little thought ahead helps. Think about which parts of the property you use after dark. Decide what the everyday setting should do, and say so out loud. And look at your own house after dark once, since the gaps only show up after sunset.
Living with the system once it is up
Most people spend the first week trying every color in the app. After the novelty, a pattern forms. The routine is generally a single warm white that comes on at dusk, and color kept for holidays and

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. Clear access around the house makes the day go faster: gates unlocked, cars moved off the drive, dogs inside. Beyond that you can go about your day.
After the system is up
From there the system is yours to run. The everyday setting usually ends up plain and warm, and the color gets used for holidays and birthdays.
