Installation Questions
How long does installation take?
It depends on linear footage, the number of stories and how complex your roofline is. A simple single-story ranch is a very different job from a two-story home with many gables or a stepped parapet. We'll give you a realistic schedule after measuring, and our crew finishes by programming the controller and walking you through the app.
Do I need to be home during the install?
Not for the whole visit, but we like to have you there at the start to confirm the layout and at the end for a walkthrough of the app. We'll need access to the outlet or power location for the controller. If you can't be home, we'll work out a plan with you ahead of time.
Where does the controller go, and what power does it need?
The controller usually goes in a garage, utility area or another protected spot near an available outlet. During the estimate, we'll look at your power access and recommend the best location. If an outlet isn't conveniently placed, we'll explain your options, which can affect the project scope.
Will installation damage my roof or stucco?
We install to protect your home. The track fastens into the fascia, trim or parapet using methods suited to your construction, and penetrations are sealed against water. We don't walk on roofs or mount hardware in ways that compromise roofing materials, and we take care around stucco to keep the work clean and tidy.
Can you install on flat roofs with parapets?
Yes. Flat roofs with parapets are common across Albuquerque, and they look striking when outlined. We run the track along the parapet cap or just below it, follow each step and corner, and leave clean breaks at canales so water drains freely during monsoon storms. See our parapet and flat roof lighting page for details.
When is the best time of year to install?
Any time. Fall fills up quickly as people plan for the holidays, so booking in spring or summer often means more flexible scheduling. Because the system stays up all year, an off-season install gives you months of warm white evenings and summer holidays before December arrives.
