Residential IT · Smart Home Installation

A smart home that actually works when you walk in the door.

Lighting, shades, audio, cameras, and locks that work as one system, not five apps that fight each other. We design it around your home, build the network underneath it, install it clean, and show you how to run it. Lutron, Sonos, and Ubiquiti, done by someone who'll pick up the phone after.

// What we install

Five systems, one home that runs them.

A real smart home is a handful of systems working together on a foundation that holds. Here's what we install and integrate. Pick one system or do the whole house, the approach is the same: do it right so it keeps working.

01
Lutron

Lighting & shades

Lutron lighting control and motorized shades. Scenes for morning, evening, away, and movie night. Dimmers that don't buzz, shades that move on schedule or with the sun, and switches that still work like switches for guests who don't want an app.

02
Sonos

Whole-home audio

Sonos audio done properly: the right speakers for each room, wired where it matters, grouped so music follows you through the house or stays in one room. Set up so anyone in the family can play something without a support call.

03
Ubiquiti

Cameras & security

Ubiquiti camera systems with local recording, so your footage isn't locked behind a monthly subscription or lost when a cloud service shuts down. Placed for real coverage, cabled for reliability, and viewable from your phone wherever you are.

04
Access

Smart locks & entry

Smart locks, video doorbells, and garage control that let you grant access without handing out keys. Codes for family, temporary access for guests or service people, and a record of who came and went.

05
Foundation

The network underneath

The part most installers skip and every smart home depends on. A proper Ubiquiti network with coverage in every room and on every device, so the system stays reliable instead of dropping off the WiFi at the worst moment.

The difference

Integrated, not improvised

The point of all of this is that it works as one system you can actually use, and that there's someone to call when you want to change it. That's the difference between a smart home and a drawer full of half-working gadgets.

// Why a professional install

DIY smart home gear works. Until it doesn't.

Individual smart devices are easy to buy and easy to set up. The problem is what happens when you have a dozen of them: each on its own app, half of them dropping off the WiFi, nothing talking to each other, and no single way to control any of it. The honeymoon ends the first time a houseguest can't figure out how to turn on a light.

A professional install solves the system, not just the devices. The right network underneath, devices chosen because they integrate, one way to control everything, and someone who knows your setup when you want to change it. That's what the $1,200-and-up actually buys: a smart home that stays smart.

// How a project works

Walkthrough, quote, clean install.

I

In-home walkthrough

We come to your home, look at the space, and talk through what you actually want, room by room. We assess your existing network and devices and figure out what's worth keeping. No charge for the walkthrough.

II

Written, itemized quote

You get a quote that breaks out equipment and labor, with a timeline. You know exactly what you're paying for before anything is purchased. If you want to phase the project across a budget, we'll plan it that way.

III

Clean install & handoff

We install it properly, cable what should be cabled, test everything, and then sit down and show you how to run it. The install carries a warranty, and we're a phone call away when you want to add or change something later.

How much does smart home installation cost?
Smart home projects start around $1,200 and scale with scope. A single-room lighting or audio setup sits at the lower end. A whole-home system with lighting, shades, audio, cameras, and access control runs into the thousands. We do an in-home walkthrough first and give you a written, itemized quote before any work or purchasing begins, so the number reflects your actual home and what you actually want, not a guess over the phone.
What smart home brands do you install?
We standardize on systems that are reliable and serviceable: Lutron for lighting and motorized shades, Sonos for whole-home audio, Ubiquiti for cameras and the network backbone, and quality smart locks and thermostats. We deliberately avoid cheap devices that depend on flaky apps or stop working when a manufacturer shuts down a cloud service. If you already own smart home gear, we'll tell you honestly what's worth integrating and what's better replaced.
Why hire a professional instead of doing it myself?
DIY smart home gear usually works in isolation but falls apart as a system: devices spread across different apps, half of them dropping off the WiFi, nothing talking to each other, and no one able to fix it when it breaks. A professional install means the right network underneath it all, devices that genuinely integrate, a single way to control everything, and someone to call when you want to adjust it. The difference shows up the first time a houseguest tries to turn on a light and can't.
Do I need to upgrade my WiFi before a smart home install?
Often, yes, and it's the step most people skip. Smart home systems live or die on the network underneath them. A house full of smart devices running on the basic router from your internet provider is the single most common reason a smart home feels unreliable. We assess your network during the walkthrough and, if it needs it, build a proper Ubiquiti backbone so the system has a stable foundation. If all you need right now is better WiFi, we also do standalone home networking.
Can you install smart cameras and home security?
Yes. We install Ubiquiti camera systems with local recording, which means your footage isn't held hostage by a monthly subscription or lost if a cloud service shuts down. We place cameras for real coverage rather than blind spots, run proper cabling where possible for reliability, and set up remote viewing on your phone. Smart locks, video doorbells, and access control can all be part of the same project.
Can you work with my builder or during new construction?
Yes, and it's the ideal time. During new construction or a remodel we can run cabling in the walls before they close up, which makes for a cleaner, more reliable install and avoids surface-mounted wire later. If you're building or renovating in our service area, get us in early. We also handle full structured wiring for new builds.
How long does a smart home installation take?
A single-system install like lighting or audio in a few rooms is often a one-day job. A whole-home project with lighting, shades, audio, cameras, and a new network usually spans several days, depending on how much cabling is involved and whether it's new construction or a retrofit into a finished home. We give you a realistic timeline in the written quote so there are no surprises.
