First, the words Three words get used in every quote and almost nobody uses them in normal life. Fascia: the vertical face. Soffit: the panel below. Eave: the overhang itself.Knowing the words will not be on a test, but it makes the quote readable. So when the plan says fascia mounted, you can picture it. Why the track mounts at that line Permanent lighting runs along the roof edge and the eaves for reasons that are mostly practical. The eave runs the full width of the hou

Every quote uses the word custom Custom is on every website in this trade. It costs nothing to say and it is not a claim anybody checks. What is worth checking is what the company hands you, because a design is a document and a package is a price.Keep that straight while you are comparing companies. A package starts with a number and works backward. A design is a plan for your property that arrives at a price. Both are legitimate ways to sell. Only one of them is designed f

Start at the top edge Look at any house after dark and the outline you pick out first is the roof edge. Nothing else on the house gives you that much unbroken length, and nothing else has the sky behind it. Put light on it and the outline comes back, which is the effect people are actually after.Which is why almost every permanent lighting system starts at that line rather than anywhere else on the building. One continuous line, mounted once, doing the most visible job on t

Outdoor lighting is really several different jobs Ask ten Greenville homeowners what outdoor lighting means and the answers split. For some it is the roof edge, for others the yard, and for some it is the corner nobody can see. They are related jobs with different answers. The building itself On the building, a permanent LED system traces the roof edge and the gables, is left in place year round, and changes color on demand. That covers Christmas, game days, and every ordi

What most people install first Almost everybody starts with a floodlight. It feels like the right answer. It usually is not. A single harsh source carves the yard into a bright patch and a black rim, and the shadows it makes are darker than the darkness it replaced.Put all of that together and the picture is not what most people install. Lower output, wider coverage, careful aim: that is what actually works. It costs no more than the floodlight approach in most cases, and t

The idea behind permanent holiday lights These go up once and stay put. That is the whole pitch, and it holds up better than it sounds. The hardware is a low profile LED channel installed along your roofline, color matched to your trim so it does not stand out during the day. More than one holiday Christmas is what starts the conversation, but it is not the only use. Orange for Halloween. Red and blue for the Fourth. School colors on a Friday night. A color for somebody's

Holiday lighting without the annual setup These get installed one time and stay. That single sentence covers most of why people want them. What is up there is a slim LED track matched to your trim color, so the house does not look like it is waiting on Christmas all summer. More than one holiday Most people start with Christmas. What they use it for after that is broader. Orange for Halloween. Red, white and blue in July. Team colors on game day. Pink for a birthday. A sin

Every quote uses the word custom Nobody advertises a generic plan. The word has been used until it is empty. What is worth checking is whether there is an actual design behind it, because a design is a document and a package is a price.That is the whole distinction, and it survives every sales conversation. A package is a price with a description attached. A design begins at your house. Both are legitimate ways to sell. Only one of them is designed for you, and you should k
