A permanent lighting company may measure, design, install, configure, and service the system—or divide those responsibilities among different people. Camden homeowners should know who owns each step before work begins.
This guide focuses on installer responsibility, not proposal pricing or maintenance routines. Use the proposal comparison guide for scope and inclusions, and the maintenance guide for post-installation care.
Who measures the roofline and confirms access?
The person measuring should identify the elevations, peaks, returns, porch lines, and garage sections under consideration, along with ladder or lift access and any areas blocked by landscaping or grade. Ask whether that same person prepares the final scope or hands measurements to someone else.
Who turns your goals into the lighting layout?
Design responsibility includes selecting the visible roofline sections, deciding where the system starts and stops, planning clean transitions, and relating everyday white scenes or seasonal color to recognizable zones. The designer should be able to explain those choices against your home rather than relying on a package name.
Who plans power, controller, and cable locations?
Ask who reviews available power, controller placement, cable paths, and any electrical work outside the lighting installer’s scope. Those decisions affect service access and daytime appearance. Responsibility for any separate electrical work should be clear before the installation date.
Who performs and supervises the installation?
Confirm who will be on site, who supervises mounting and final alignment, and who can answer a question if the roofline differs from the written plan. The installation contact should also know which areas must remain accessible and how gates, pets, vehicles, and landscaping will be handled.
Who configures the app and completes the handoff?
The handoff should identify each zone, show the household how to adjust brightness and schedules, explain how another person receives access, and confirm what to keep with the home records. Ask who helps if the controller is online but the app setup is incomplete.
Who handles troubleshooting after the crew leaves?
Before booking, identify the service contact and the first step for reporting a nonworking light, zone, controller, or app connection. Ask whether the installer diagnoses the issue, whether another provider supplies parts, and how product and workmanship questions are separated.

Permanent lighting installer FAQ
Should the person who measures also explain the final scope?
Not necessarily, but someone should connect the measurements to the written elevations, access plan, controller location, and zone layout. Ask who can answer those home-specific questions before you approve the work.
Who should name and demonstrate the control zones?
The installer or handoff contact should name zones by recognizable parts of the home, demonstrate the routine controls, and show how another household member receives access. Keep that zone list with your system records.
Who do I contact if one section stops working?
Use the service contact identified in the written handoff. Share the affected location, what the zone does in the app, when the issue began, and a photo or video if practical. The provider can then explain the next diagnostic or service step.
