It starts with a conversation
Nothing gets mounted until the design is settled. That visit covers which edges to run, where the power is, and how you want to use it. The consultation is free and it does not commit you to anything.
The design comes before the price
Every house is

The design should work with the house, following the roof edge, the gables and the entry. On commercial work the same thinking applies to facades, entries and patios.
On the day
The crew does the whole thing. The channel goes up along the planned lines and matches the trim. Wiring gets tucked and routed out of sight, then the system is connected and set up on your phone. Before the crew leaves, somebody walks you through the app, so the first night is not a guessing game.
Commercial work
A commercial job runs on the same process: look at the building, draw the plan, install it. What changes is when the work happens. Install timing works around when you are open, because nobody wants scaffolding across the front door on a Friday.
What to have ready before the consultation
You do not have to do homework, but a few things make the visit better. 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
Expect a few evenings of experimenting. After the novelty, a pattern forms. The everyday setting tends to be simple, and it runs on a timer without anybody touching it.The other thing worth setting up early is the automatic on and off. Lighting that needs a decision every evening does not get used as much.Homeowners are not needed for most of it. Clear access around the house helps: an unlocked gate, a clear driveway, pets in the house. Beyond that you can go about your day.
What happens next
From there the system is yours to run. The everyday setting is usually a simple warm white, with color kept for the days that call for it.
