Six situations to wait

Selling in less than 12 months and don't currently pay a seasonal installer.

Roof is going to be replaced in the next 18-24 months-wait, then install on the new roof.

Active HOA litigation-get it resolved before adding visible exterior changes.

Stucco-only with no soffit AND complex multi-roofline-install is more expensive and result is less clean.

Renting and you don't have written landlord buy-in.

Total budget below $700 and seasonal-installer fees aren't a factor-buy a Govee kit and try it.

What we tell people in those cases
