It starts with a conversation
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 it does not commit you to anything.
The design comes before the price
Your house has its own lines, so the plan gets drawn for it. The design should work with the house, following the roof edge, the gables and the entry. On commercial work the same thinking applies to storefronts, entrances and outdoor seating.
The install itself
Installation is professional, meaning the ladders, the track and the wiring are theirs to deal with. The track follows the design and is color matched to the house. 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 the first night is not a guessing game.
Commercial installations follow the same steps
For a business the steps do not change, although the scale is different. The difference is usually timing. Most businesses do not want ladders in front of the entrance at lunch, so the work gets timed around business hours.
What to think about before the consultation
You do not have to do homework, but a few things make the visit better. Think about where you want light, not just where you want color. Think about whether you want December color, nightly light, or both, since that shapes the plan. And walk the property once at night before the visit, since the gaps only show up after sunset.
The first few weeks
Most people spend the first week trying every color in the app. After the novelty, a pattern forms. The routine is generally a single warm white that comes on at dusk, with the color

Lighting you have to remember to turn on gets used less than lighting that turns itself on.Homeowners do not have much to do. Clear access around the house 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
From there the system is yours to run. Most people land on one white they like for ordinary nights, and change it for holidays and events.
