Before any hardware goes up
The first step is a look at the property, not a crew on the roof. Somebody comes out and

The consultation is free and there is no obligation attached to 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 for it. The design should work with the house, picking up the roofline and the peaks and the porch edge. Businesses get the same treatment across storefronts, entries and building corners.
On the day
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, color matched to your trim so it is not the first thing a visitor sees. Power, control box and app setup are handled as part of the install, not left for you to figure out. Before the crew leaves, somebody walks you through the app, so the first night is not a guessing game.
Business installs
For a business the steps do not change, although the scale is different. The difference is usually when the crew can be on site. Install timing works around when you are open, since the front of the building has to stay usable.
What to have ready before the consultation
Nothing is required, but a little thought ahead helps. Know which parts of the house you use in the evening. Decide what the everyday setting should do, and say it during the visit. 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. That is part of it, and then a routine sets in. The routine is generally a single warm white that comes on at dusk, and color kept for holidays and events.Set the schedule in the first few days. Lighting that needs a decision every evening gets used less than lighting that turns itself on.There is very little asked of you while the crew works. The practical list is short: access to the perimeter, a clear driveway and pets indoors. Otherwise the day belongs to the installers.
Once it is running
After that, you set what you want and it holds. The everyday setting is usually a simple warm white, and the color gets used for holidays and birthdays. EverCrest Lighting installs permanent lighting for residential and commercial properties throughout Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina out of Greenville. For traditional holiday lighting they also handle takedown and off season storage. Call (864) 252-1732 or email
