Before any hardware goes up
Nothing gets installed until somebody has looked at your house. Somebody walks the property, asks how you use the outside of your home, and works out where the light should go. It costs nothing, and nobody expects a decision on the spot.
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 around it. A good design follows the architecture that is already there: the roof edge, the peaks, the columns, the entry. Businesses get the same treatment across storefronts, entries and building corners.
The install itself
The crew handles all of it. The track is fastened along the roofline 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

Commercial installations follow the same steps
A commercial job runs on the same process: consultation, design, install. The difference is usually timing. Install timing works around when you are open, since the front of the building has to stay usable.
Come prepared
Nothing is required, but a little thought ahead helps. 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 look at your own house after dark once, because dark spots are obvious then and invisible at two in the afternoon.
The first few weeks
Expect a few evenings of experimenting. That is part of it, and then a routine sets in. The routine is usually one warm white on a dusk schedule, and color kept for holidays and events.The other thing worth setting up early is the automatic on and off. A system running on its own schedule gets used.Homeowners do not have much to do. Clear access to the roofline and the outlets makes the day go faster: gates unlocked, cars moved off the drive, dogs inside. Otherwise the day belongs to the installers.
After the system is up
After that, you pick your everyday setting and forget about it. The everyday setting is usually a simple warm white, with color kept for the days that call for it.
