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 figures out which lines are worth lighting. There is no charge for it, and you are not signing anything to have it.
The design is drawn for your house
Your house has its own lines, so the plan gets drawn for it. A good design follows the architecture that is already there: the main roofline, the gables, the dormers, the porch. On commercial work the same thinking applies to facades, entries and patios.
The install itself
The crew handles all of it. The track 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 on your kitchen table in a box. Before the crew leaves, you get shown how to run it, so the first night is not a guessing game.
Business installs
For a business the steps do not change, though the building usually gives you more to work with. What changes is the scheduling. Install timing gets planned around your hours, because nobody wants scaffolding across the front door on a Friday.
Getting the most out of the first visit
You do not need to prepare much, though a couple of answers help. Know where you walk at night. Decide what the everyday setting should do, and say it during the visit. And look at your own house after dark once, since the gaps only show up after sunset.
What the first month looks like
Expect a few evenings of experimenting. That is fine and expected, and then almost everybody settles into a routine. The routine is usually one warm white on a dusk schedule, and color kept for holidays and events.The other thing to do in the first week is the schedule itself. A system running on its own schedule gets used.Homeowners are not needed for most of it. The practical list is short: unlock the gate, move the cars, keep the dog in. Beyond that the crew works and you do not have to hover.
Once it is running
From there the system is yours to run. The everyday setting is usually a simple warm white, and the color gets used for holidays and birthdays. EverCrest Lighting installs permanent lighting for homes and businesses throughout Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina from
