What to expect from an IllumiTrim install, how long it takes for a typical home (usually 1–3 days), and the four steps from free remote estimate to your app walkthrough.
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.
Text a photo of your home and Colton sends a rough quote in 24–48 hours. No site visit, no pressure.
Colton brings live IP68 RGBW nodes to your actual eave and cycles 500+ presets so you see real color before deciding.
Color-matched aluminum track, sealed nodes, 12V wiring, and the Wi-Fi controller — installed clean and complete.
Colton stays on site and trains you on the app — scenes, scheduling, zones — until you are fully comfortable.
More roofline and eave to cover means more track and nodes to mount and wire.
Two- and three-story elevations require more access setup than a single-story ranch.
Dormers, steep pitches, peaks, and detached structures add detail work and time.
Front-only is quickest; a full perimeter with patio or pool areas takes longer.

Step one is free: text a photo for a remote estimate, or book the in-home demo. Colton handles every step personally — install in 1–3 days.
