Permanent holiday and accent lighting, quoted from the same measurements as gutter protection
Permanent roofline lighting hangs on the same eaves the gutter guard goes on, so its footage is the same number. The house is already measured: the eave runs on the drawing, EaveDrop's feet per side and story, and the estimator's gutter protection lines all carry it. A lighting quote reuses the gutter footage instead of a second trip up the ladder. Only gables or rakes — the sloped edges, where no gutter runs — need adding if the customer wants them lit, and EaveDrop already tells those edges apart from the eaves.
The estimator has its own Lighting section: lighting footage per foot, the control box, a booster box, extra zones (two are included), a Wi-Fi extender, an outlet, attic, extended-jump and wall-fish labor, and taking down or re-hanging lights that are already there. Pick the housing for each story and its color, and the quote goes to Salesforce under its own lighting bundle, read back like any other. On the drawing, tap Lighting on a run to count the same line under lighting too, so Exhibit and quote agree. Selling gutter protection and lighting on one visit is one measurement, one estimator and one install conversation.
- 1The eave runs already measured for gutter protection — the drawing, EaveDrop and the estimator
- 2Gables or rakes: the only runs to add, and only if the customer wants them lit
- 3Footage, boxes, zones and housing in the estimator's Lighting section, sent to Salesforce as its own bundle
- Measure the house once — EaveDrop or the drawing — exactly as you would for gutter protection.
- In the estimator, open Lighting and put the same eave feet on Lighting footage. Add gables or rakes only if they are lit.
- Pick the housing and color for each story, then the control box, any booster box, extra zones and labor.
- On the drawing, tap Lighting on the runs it covers, so the Exhibit matches the quote.
What it does, step by step
- Measure the house once, with EaveDrop or the drawing, exactly as for LeafFilter.
- Permanent lighting hangs on the same eaves, so the eave feet are the lighting feet.
- Only gables or rakes are added, and only if the customer wants them lit. EaveDrop already tells them apart from the eaves.
- In the estimator's Lighting section: lighting footage, control box, booster box, extra zones (two included), Wi-Fi extender, outlet, labor, and taking down or re-hanging existing lights.
- Pick the housing and color for each story. The quote goes to Salesforce under its own lighting bundle and is read back.
- On the drawing, tap Lighting on the runs it covers so the Exhibit matches the quote.
Time it saves Estimates
| Task | By hand, typically | With the app, typically |
|---|---|---|
| Measuring the roofline for lighting | 20–40 min, or a second visit | Already measured for LeafFilter |
| Quoting lighting with gutter protection | A separate quote and system | The same estimator, same visit |
Typically 20–40 minutes per house that gets both.
Typical estimates, not guarantees.
Errors it prevents Guesstimates
- Lighting feet that don't match the gutter feetBoth come from the same measured eave runs.Guesstimate: fewer re-measures
- Salesforce build doesn't match the sheetLighting goes through its own bundle and is read back to the dollar.Guesstimate: about 1 a month avoided where lighting is sold
- Gables lit that were never pricedGables and rakes are a separate, deliberate add.Guesstimate: fewer install-day surprises
Time figures are typical estimates for an active rep, not guarantees. Error figures are guesstimates for a rep closing about 10 jobs a month. Both vary with the rep, the office and the job.
Who it helps
- The repA second product on the same visit with no second measurement.
- Office & installersLighting jobs arrive built and checked like gutter jobs.
- The customerOne visit, one measurement, one install conversation.
- The managerMore revenue per appointment from work already done.
