Spacing
Distance from the wall
Distance from the wall changes the size and shape of each light’s wash. Placement needs to suit both the soffit and the guidance for your model.

Before mounting starts
Before we install your Govee lights
Govee kits differ in length, components, mounting requirements, and controls. We start with the instructions for your model, then check how it will fit your house.
Model
The kit name and generation determine which instructions, included parts, limits, and connection steps apply.
Surface
Soffit material, cleanliness, transitions, and the intended mounting area all influence preparation and attachment.
Light runs
We measure the eaves, peaks, and gaps between roof sections to work out where the lights and extensions can run.
Power + control
Outlet access and a suitable location for the controller and power supply are part of the installation plan.
Installation considerations
Placement, mounting, and controls
We check the mounting location before attaching the lights. That helps keep spacing consistent and avoids surprises at corners or between sections.
Continuity
Corners and separate roof sections
Peaks and gaps may need additional planning or compatible extensions. We check these before the installation starts.
Setup
App and controller setup
Let us know about existing connection problems or weak outdoor Wi-Fi. App setup and connection requirements vary by Govee model.
Finish
White light and color settings
If you plan to use white light between holidays, mention that when choosing a model. Color and white-light options depend on the system.

Govee installation questions
Questions about Govee installation
What should I share before requesting a Govee installation estimate?
Include the Govee model you own or are considering, your ZIP code, and clear photos of the roofline. It also helps to show possible power locations and note which elevations you want included.
Does the exact Govee model matter?
Yes. Run limits, included components, extension rules, mounting guidance, and app features can vary by model. The installation plan should follow the instructions for the exact product rather than assuming every Govee kit works the same way.
Why plan placement before mounting the lights?
Placement affects how the light washes the wall, how evenly the points read from the street, and whether the system fits the available runs. A planned layout also helps identify corners, transitions, power access, and model limits before installation begins.
Can you help with Govee app setup?
Ask about setup for your specific model when requesting installation. We can discuss pairing, controller placement, and any existing connection issues as part of the work.
