Do I need to buy the lights myself?
+That depends on the path you choose. On the Govee path, yes — you buy the Govee lights directly from Govee or Amazon, and we tell you exactly which model and how many to order when we quote you; we supply and install the aluminum mounting track and handle all the wiring. On the Strata path, we supply everything — lights, track, and labor — in one installed price.
Which system is right for me?
+Both paths get the same crew and the same concealed aluminum channel install. The Govee path suits homeowners who want to order their own lights direct and manage everything through the Govee app. The Strata path suits homeowners who want one all-inclusive installed price, with a contractor-supplied 48V system, consistent brightness across long runs, and a full dimming range. Not sure? Send us a quote request and we'll talk through both with you.
What makes your installation different from DIY?
+The difference is the hardware. DIY installs use plastic clips or 3M tape — wires stay visible, spacing is uneven, and clips fail in Colorado winters. We use commercial-grade aluminum channel track that fully conceals all wiring, locks every bulb at a precise spacing, and is mechanically screwed into your soffit. The result looks architectural — like it was built into your home. Most HOAs can't even tell it's there during the day.
How much does installation cost in Denver?
+On the Govee path, most Denver Metro homes run about $22 to $25 per linear foot all-in — you buy the Govee lights direct, and most projects land in the $1,200 to $4,500 range. Our all-inclusive Strata system — lights, track, and labor — runs $30 to $33 per linear foot installed. We quote remotely from photos of your home, so you get an exact number without a site visit.

Govee vs Trimlight comparison for the full cost breakdown.
Do the lights need to come down after the holidays?
+Never. Permanent lights stay on your home year-round and you control everything from the app — switch from festive red to Broncos orange to warm white in seconds.
Will my HOA approve permanent lighting?
+Most HOAs approve because our color-matched aluminum track blends into your soffit and is nearly invisible during the day. It looks architectural, not decorative. We can provide documentation to support your HOA application.
How long does installation take?
+Most homes are completed in a single day. We arrive, measure, mount the track, run all wiring inside the channel, install your lights, configure your app, and walk you through the system before we leave.
Can the lights handle Colorado winters?
+Absolutely. The aluminum track is mechanically fastened — not taped — and powder-coated for weather resistance. Designed to handle Front Range snow, hail, UV, and freeze/thaw cycles year after year.
What areas do you serve?
+We serve the entire Denver Metro area including Aurora, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Parker, Castle Rock, Littleton, Denver, Englewood, Lakewood, and Westminster.
