Guide

How permanent lighting installation works, from the measure to the app, with times

Four steps, and none of them involve you on a ladder. What each one looks like on a typical two-story in Clark County or the Portland suburbs, with the details to confirm before work begins:

1. The measure

Review the runs you want lit, including both slopes of each gable. The measure records fascia material, access, power and the proposed controller location. Compare channel samples in daylight before choosing a finish.

2. Design and scheduling

The written proposal should show the layout, package, spacing, mounting, access extras and total price. Confirm any required permits, installer credentials and HOA approval before agreeing to an installation date. Appointment times and lead times are confirmed directly.

3. Installation

The mounting method must fit both the selected product and the house. Preparation, attachment, power and connections follow the manufacturer’s instructions and applicable requirements. Access, roofline complexity and weather determine the schedule.

4. App setup and walkthrough

At handover, review the controller connection, everyday setting, color scenes and schedule. Ask for the specific app instructions, written warranty terms and service contact for your installed system.

Weather and mounting conditions

Dry surfaces, temperature and curing time matter for adhesive mounting. The product instructions and conditions on your house determine the installation method and timing. Ask how a weather delay would affect your agreed date.

Questions this guide gets

Do I need to be home for the install?
For the app setup at the end, yes, or we can do it by phone. The crew needs access to an exterior outlet and the garage if that's where the controller goes.
Do you drill into my roof?
No. Channel bonds to the fascia face with VHB tape and brackets; nothing goes through shingles or the drip edge. Magnetic pebbles use no fasteners at all.
What if a light is dead after install?
Every light is tested before we leave. If one fails later, it twist-locks out and a replacement goes in during a service visit; under warranty there's no charge for the light.
