Installation Process

How long does it take?
Usually 1–3 days.

From the first photo to flipping the system on, most IllumiTrim projects move from free estimate to finished install in as little as one week, with the on-site installation itself typically taking 1–3 days. The low-voltage 12V modular design is what keeps it fast — each zone wires independently into the aluminum track, with no complex conduit runs between sections.

Step by Step

From free demo to finished install.

1

Free Remote Estimate

Text a photo of your home and Colton sends a rough quote in 24–48 hours. No site visit, no pressure.

2

Free In-Home Demo

Colton brings live IP68 RGBW nodes to your actual eave and cycles 500+ presets so you see real color before deciding.

3

1–3 Day Install

Color-matched aluminum track, sealed nodes, 12V wiring, and the Wi-Fi controller — installed clean and complete.

4

App Walkthrough

Colton stays on site and trains you on the app — scenes, scheduling, zones — until you are fully comfortable.

What Affects the Timeline

Why some installs take longer.

Linear footage

More roofline and eave to cover means more track and nodes to mount and wire.

Number of stories

Two- and three-story elevations require more access setup than a single-story ranch.

Roofline complexity

Dormers, steep pitches, peaks, and detached structures add detail work and time.

Coverage scope

Front-only is quickest; a full perimeter with patio or pool areas takes longer.

Common Questions

Answered plainly.

How long does permanent lighting installation take for a typical home?
+
Most single-family homes are completed in 1–3 days. The exact timeline depends on the linear footage of roofline, the number of stories, and roofline complexity (dormers, steep pitches, detached structures). The 12V modular design keeps installs efficient because each zone wires independently into the aluminum track — there are no complex conduit runs between sections. Colton confirms your specific timeline at the free in-home demo.
Is the installation messy or disruptive?
+
No. The work is exterior, focused on your soffits and rooflines, and the crew cleans up daily. There's no drywall work and no line-voltage rewiring inside the home — the system is low-voltage 12V.
Do I need to be home during the installation?
+
Not for the full install, though it helps to be available at the start so Colton can confirm the layout, and at the end for the app walkthrough and training. Scheduling is arranged around what works for you.
What happens after the install is done?
+
Colton walks you through the app — presets, custom scenes, and schedules — until you're confident operating it. The system is backed by a 3-year labor and product warranty, and because it's modular, any single node can be serviced later without redoing the run.
