How installation is sequenced on a Tracy home
Measurement comes first, then dry-fit, then fastening — nothing is fixed to fascia until the line is confirmed.
Dry-fitting matters on Tracy stucco elevations because the channel needs to track the existing trim reveal to disappear in daylight. Getting that wrong is what makes a permanent system look aftermarket.
Runs are tested individually as modules seat, so a fault is found on the ladder rather than at dusk.
What happens to your existing seasonal hardware
Clips, hooks and old strand mounts are removed as part of the Tracy install.
Most Tracy homes have a decade of shingle clips and screw hooks along the fascia. Those come off so the new channel line is clean.
If a previous installer left a competitor channel in place, removal is quoted case by case at the measure visit.

Straight answers on Tracy installation
- "Will you drill into my fascia?"
- Yes — stainless fasteners into fascia and framing, which is the only mounting method that survives Tracy heat and Altamont wind.
- "Can you install in December?"
- Yes, between fog windows, though scheduling is tighter. The rate does not change.
- "Do I need to be home?"
- At the start for the measure walk and at the end for handover; not for the middle of the day.
