How to Choose a Permanent Lighting Installer in Arizona

The installer matters as much as the product. Use this checklist for every permanent lighting installer you evaluate — including AE LEDs.

What to compare

Use the same criteria for every permanent lighting brand or installer you evaluate. Confirm current specifications with the manufacturer and installer before signing a contract.

  • Active Arizona ROC license and current insurance
  • Daytime close-up photos of finished fascia from local installs
  • Written product specification (model, warranty, manufacturer documentation)
  • Written install workmanship warranty and labor coverage
  • Service-call response time and process
  • Roof type experience — stucco, tile, flat roof, parapet
  • References from prior Arizona customers

What the manufacturer controls vs. what the installer controls

The manufacturer controls the product spec, color science, and product warranty. The installer controls channel alignment, wire management, transformer sizing, weatherproofed connections, and post-install service. Both matter — and they are evaluated separately.

Questions to ask before you sign

Print these and use the same list for every quote.

  • Which product are you installing on my home and what's the model number?
  • What's the parts warranty, the labor warranty, and who handles service calls?
  • Can I see daytime close-up photos of finished fascia from a local install?
  • How is the channel fastened on stucco, fascia, soffit, or tile-roof eaves?
  • What happens if I replace my roof later?
  • Is there a subscription requirement to keep the app working?

FAQs
Is one permanent lighting brand objectively better than the others?+

No single brand is the right answer for every home. The right product depends on your roofline, the installer who is fastening it, and the warranty and service behind it.
