Before anything goes on the house
The first step is a free consultation, not a truck in the driveway. Somebody walks the property, asks how you use the outside of your home, and

The consultation is free and there is no obligation attached to 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.
What install day involves
The crew does the whole thing. The track goes up along the planned lines and matches the trim. Power, controller and app setup are handled as part of the install, not left on your kitchen table in a box. 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, though the building usually gives you more to work with. The difference is usually timing. Most businesses do not want ladders in front of the entrance at lunch, so the install gets planned around the schedule.
Come prepared
Nothing is required, but the visit goes further if you have thought about a couple of things. Think about which parts of the property you use after dark. Think about whether you want December color, nightly light, or both, because the answer changes the design. And look at your own house after dark once, because dark spots are obvious then and invisible at two in the afternoon.
What the first month looks like
Expect a few evenings of experimenting. After the novelty, people settle. The everyday setting tends to be simple, and the schedule does the work.Set the schedule in the first few days. Lighting you have to remember to turn on 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. Otherwise the day belongs to the installers.
What happens next
From there it is a phone app and a house that lights up. Most people settle on a warm white for ordinary nights, and change it for holidays and events. EverCrest Lighting does permanent lighting installation for residential and commercial properties across Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina from a base in Greenville. They also handle takedown and off season storage on traditional holiday lighting. Call (864) 252-1732 or email
