What if my house doesn't have soffits?

This is extremely common in the Bay Area, especially on mid-century, Eichler, open-beam and tile-edge homes. We fabricate a custom mounting board or channel along the roofline so the lights have a proper straight surface to attach to.

Can you install mounting boards?

Yes. Custom mounting is a core part of our service, not an exception we charge around.

Where should Govee lights be mounted?

Usually under the soffit or on the fascia along the primary rooflines that define the front elevation, with the light source set at a consistent distance from the wall so the wash is even. The right placement varies by roof detail, which is why we plan each home individually.

How much does professional Govee installation cost?

Every home is different, so permanent-lighting installations are custom quoted based on roofline length, accessibility, mounting requirements and the system being installed. Schedule a free in-person consultation and we'll evaluate your home and provide your options.

Mid-century modern and open-beam homes are everywhere in Lafayette, along with traditional two-story homes and heavily remodeled properties. Open-beam rooflines are the classic case where a mounting board makes the difference between a clean install and a crooked one.

Installation considerations in Lafayette

Exposed rafter tails and open beams require a fabricated straight mounting surface.
Steep driveways and hillside access affect equipment planning and scheduling.
Tree cover means we often prioritize gable peaks and entry elevations over full perimeter runs.

Custom mounting in Lafayette

Where a roofline has no ideal attachment surface, we fabricate mounting boards or channels and paint them to match your trim — the difference between lighting that looks built in and lighting that looks stuck on.
