Before anything goes on the house
Nothing gets mounted until the design is settled. That visit covers which edges to run, where the power is, and how you want to use it. The consultation is free and there is no obligation attached to it.
The design is drawn for your house
Every house is a little different, which is why a template design usually looks off. A good design traces the lines the building already has: the main roofline, the gables, the dormers, the porch. 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 gets mounted along the lines in the design, color matched to your trim so it is not the first thing a visitor sees. Wiring is run so it is not hanging in
https://evercrestlighting.com/about/ view, and the system gets tied into power and set up on the app. 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 are the same, though the building usually gives you more to work with. What changes is the scheduling. Most businesses would rather the crew work outside of open hours, so the install gets planned around the schedule.
Getting the most out of the first visit
You do not have to do homework, but a few things make the visit better. Know where you walk at night. Think about whether this is mostly a holiday purchase or mostly an everyday one, 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.
Living with the system after install day
Expect a few evenings of experimenting. That is fine and expected, and then a routine sets in. The everyday setting tends to be simple, and it runs on a timer without anybody touching it.Set the schedule in the first few days. Lighting that needs a decision every evening gets used less than lighting that turns itself on.Homeowners are not needed for most of it. The practical list is short: unlock the gate, move the cars, keep the dog in. Beyond that you can go about your day.
What happens next
From there it is a phone app and a house that lights up. The everyday setting is usually a simple warm white, with color kept for the days that call for it. EverCrest Lighting does permanent lighting installation 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
