Step one is a free consultation
The first step is a free consultation, 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. 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. A good design traces the lines the building already has: the roof edge, the peaks, the columns, the entry. Businesses get the same treatment across storefronts, entries and building corners.
The install itself
Installation is professional, which is a plain way of saying nobody in your family goes up a ladder. 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, you get shown how to run it, so you can actually use it that evening.
Commercial installations work the same way
A commercial job runs on the same process: look at the building, draw the plan,

What changes is when the work happens. Install timing gets planned around your hours, since the front of the building has to stay usable.
Getting the most out of the first visit
Nothing is required, but a little thought ahead helps. Know which parts of the house you use in the evening. Decide whether the main job is holidays or ordinary evenings, 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 once it is up
Expect the first week to be color testing. That is fine and expected, and then almost everybody settles into a routine. The everyday setting tends to be simple, and the schedule does the work.Set the schedule before you forget about it. Lighting you have to remember to turn on gets used less than lighting that turns itself on.There is very little asked of you while the crew works. Clear access around the house helps: gates unlocked, cars moved off the drive, dogs inside. Beyond that you can go about your day.
After the install
After that, you pick your everyday setting and forget about it. The everyday setting is usually a simple warm white, and the color gets used for holidays and birthdays.
