Every quote uses the word custom Nobody advertises standard packages. 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 starts with a number and works backward. A design begins at your house. Both are legitimate ways to sell. Only one of them is designed for you, and you shou

Event lighting is a different product entirely The distinction is worth making: one is installed, the other is set up. A wedding, a milestone birthday, a corporate evening, a reception: these are one night jobs. That changes the whole approach, because there is no version of this you fix next weekend.Which changes the working relationship. An installation has time to be adjusted. An event is judged once, in one evening. So the planning happens early, the what ifs get covere

The idea behind permanent holiday lights Permanent holiday lights stay on the house. That is the whole pitch, and it holds up better than it sounds. 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. The calendar it covers Most people call about Christmas. What they use it for after that is broader. Halloween orange, July's red, white and blue, a team's colors on a Saturday, a birthday: it

What permanent outdoor lighting means Permanent outdoor lighting is an LED system installed along the architecture of a building and left in place year round. Where string lights come and go, this lives on the house. The LEDs sit inside a track matched to the color of your trim or fascia, so the daytime look of the house does not change much. The usual places it gets mounted Most installs follow the roofline, then pick up gables, dormers, porch edges and columns as the des

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. The test is not what they say. It is whether anything was drawn before the number appeared.That is the whole distinction, and it survives every sales conversation. A package starts with a number and works backward. A design starts from the property. Both can be perfectly honest pieces of business. Only one of them answers to your building,

Why people stop doing it themselves The job looks easy from the ground, then it eats a whole weekend. Add the steep pitch, gutters you would rather not lean on, and the fact that December in the Upstate can be wet, and a lot of people decide it is worth hiring out. The parts of the job The job breaks into a few pieces, and the last two are the ones people forget to ask about. First a design, based on your roofline and your yard. Then the install, done by a crew with the ri

It starts with a conversation The first step is a look at the property, not a crew on the roof. That visit covers which edges to run, where the power is, and how you want to use it. The consultation is free and it does not commit you to anything. The design is drawn for your house 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. Businesses get the same treatment across sto

The back of the house has a different job The front of a property is a view. The patio is a place you occupy. Everything changes when you become the audience from within. Nobody cares how the patio reads from the road. The only test is whether anybody wants to sit there.The short version: do not treat the back as an afterthought of the front. A roofline system handles the street view and very little for the space behind it. Two spaces, two briefs, and one design conversatio
