- Fixed labor price from your photos
- 3-layer mounting on every run
- Every section tested before we leave
- Repair visits if a section goes dark later
1. Layout plan
We walk the roofline from your photos and plan every run, corner and peak.
2. Mounting method
3-layer mounting: tape, brackets and metal hooks, matched to your surface.
3. Corners and peaks
Where the Pro is most stressed, we add support so nothing lifts.
4. Controller and power
Outlet, controller and cable route planned, hidden and weather-protected.
5. App setup
Scenes, schedule and smart-home linking, on your network.
6. Final test
Every section tested at night before we leave.
