Smart home integration services

Whether you're starting from scratch or trying to make sense of devices you already own, we'll help you build a system that fits how you actually live.

Projects we handle

Whole-home network upgrade

Smart home devices are only as good as your network. We set up mesh Wi-Fi systems, run hardwired connections where it matters, and eliminate dead spots. No more buffering, no more dropped connections, no more "why won't this thing stay online."

Smart lighting

Control your lights from your phone, set scenes, or trigger them on a schedule. We swap out switches, set up smart bulbs, and configure everything so "movie mode" or "goodnight" actually does what you want. No electrician needed for most setups.

Smart home essentials

Locks, thermostats, shades, cameras, doorbells. The pieces that make your home actually feel smart. We install and connect them so they work together and you can control everything from your phone. Most people want a few of these at once, so we'll talk through what makes sense and tackle them together.

Unified control hub setup

Half your stuff is Apple, half is Google, and none of it talks to each other. We untangle mixed systems, set up voice assistants, and get everything working from one app or one command. Alexa, Google Home, Siri, whatever you use. No more juggling three different apps to control your own home.

Honest recommendations

We'll tell you what you actually need, not what costs the most. If a simple setup does the job, we'll say so. We're not here to sell you a complicated system you won't use.

Works with what you have

Already own smart devices? We'll connect them. You don't need to start over or buy into one brand's ecosystem. We make what you've got work together.

Real integration

Everything talks to everything. Lights, locks, thermostat, cameras, all controllable from one app or one voice command. No switching between five different apps.

Plain English setup

We configure the app, name the devices, and organize the controls so it makes sense to you. No cryptic labels or confusing menus.

Cleanup

We haul out the packaging, clean up the work area, and leave the space better than we found it.

Walkthrough and personalization

We make sure you know how to use it. Routines set up, voice commands tested, automations explained. You'll actually use this stuff after we leave.

Standard on every install

How smart home setup works

01

Reach out

Call, text, or send a few details through the form. Tell us what you're trying to do and what devices you already have, if any.

02

Consultation

We come out and walk through your home together. We need to see where your switches are, talk through what you want to automate, and figure out what system makes the most sense for you.

03

Order parts

Once we know the plan, we source the devices. You can buy them yourself or we can pick them up. We'll make sure everything's compatible before install day.

04

We install

We swap out switches, mount devices, connect everything to your system, and walk you through how it all works before we leave.

We work with what you've got

HomeKit, Google Home, Alexa, or some combination of all three. Whatever platform you prefer or already use, we'll build around it. And if you're not sure yet, we'll help you pick.

Don't see your brand? We've probably worked with it. Just ask.

Smart home installation pricing

Most smart home jobs come in around $200 to $400, depending on how many devices, how much configuration, and whether we're starting fresh or connecting things you already own. Whole-home setups with lighting, locks, and cameras typically run higher.

Phone estimates are free. Tell us what you're trying to do, and we can usually give you a ballpark before scheduling a consultation.

How we price

$200

First hour. Covers basic setups like a smart thermostat or a few switches.

$150

Per hour after that. Prorated to the quarter-hour, so you only pay for the time the job actually takes.

Free

Phone estimates. Tell us what you're trying to do and we'll talk through cost before any work begins.

* Travel fees may apply for suburb jobs.

Grant was a delight to work with. He was knowledgeable, responsive, punctual, and fixed my smart thermostat quickly. He also left the area clean. I'd be happy to use his services again!
