Residential & Commercial · Greater Houston

Technology, tailored to the space it lives in.

We design and install audio, video, lighting, networking, and security for the finest homes and businesses in Houston — powerful to use, and invisible until you want it.

What we do

One system for the whole property.

Nine disciplines, designed to work as a single, effortless experience — for a private home or a place of business.

Control

You're in charge.

Lighting, climate, security, and entertainment on one app, one remote, or your voice.

Audio

Soundtrack your moment.

Hidden, built-in speakers and indoor/outdoor zones — from one room to thirty-six.

Video

See it in vivid clarity.

Ultra HD distribution and the right screen and streaming setup for how you watch.

Lighting

Make your life shine.

Intelligent lighting that shifts brightness, color, and warmth to flatter every room.

Networking

Coverage that keeps up.

From basic Wi-Fi to multi-AP mesh — designed and secured for the speed you pay for.

Surveillance

Another set of eyes.

AI cameras with facial recognition and license-plate capture — search your footage in plain words, like “man in a red shirt with sunglasses.”

Access Control

Someone's always home.

Smart locks, gates, and video doorbells — grant access to the right people, anytime.

Climate

Energy management is easy.

Remote comfort plus safety automations — freeze protection, fire response, and alerts.

Power

Storms happen. Be ready.

Battery backup for critical systems through whole-home backup when the grid fails.

Every budget

Big or small, done right.

Not every project is a whole-home system — and we're glad to do the simple ones. A TV mounted clean and level, a soundbar that genuinely sounds good, a video doorbell that works every time. Years of doing this means we know which affordable products play well together, so you get something reliable and tidy without overspending. The simple stuff, done better than anyone.

Expertise

Programmers, not just installers.

There's a real difference between mounting equipment and engineering a system. We do the second — and when a Control4 system needs to do something off-the-shelf can't, we write the software to make it happen.

Certified Control4 Programmers

Both co-founders are certified to program Control4 — the deep configuration most shops outsource, we do in house.

Crestron Certified

Certified on Crestron as well, for the most demanding residential and commercial control projects.

Custom Software on Staff

A software engineer in house means custom Control4 software, built around exactly how you live or work.

Proof of depth

The same programming depth built the interactive tour of the Apollo Mission Control room at NASA's Johnson Space Center.

Residential & commercial lighting

Let us shed some light on your project.

Even if you never touch the smart-home side of things, lighting belongs in every home — it's the detail that quietly sets a space above the rest. Layered, well-placed light makes your finishes richer, your art sing, and your evenings warmer. The simplest upgrade with the biggest payoff.

Indoors, we design with Lutron — the gold standard in lighting and shade control — for dimming and scenes that feel effortless and look impeccable, from a single room to the whole house. As one of the largest Vantage dealers in Texas (the platform behind our custom install at the historic Ross Sterling Mansion) and specialists in replacing discontinued LiteTouch systems, there's no lighting control we can't make behave.

Outdoors, we bring the property to life after dark with landscape and architectural lighting by FX Luminaire ↗ — trees, façades, walkways, and gardens, lit exactly right. Honestly? Better lighting is the brightest idea in the house.

04

We're a call away for tuning, service, and upgrades.

For builders & new construction

Let's talk before the drywall.

The best systems start at the framing stage. We collaborate with custom-home builders and their trades to pre-wire and plan technology into the home from the start — so nothing is an afterthought and nothing is exposed.

What clients say

Trusted in Houston homes.

My installation and security cameras were set up to be user friendly, with a good comfort level. Thanks Wes.

I fought with Wi-Fi in my house for years. I tried every product at Best Buy — I wish I'd found you sooner. Customer for life.

We had a mess from another company. They came in and made it right — quick and professional the whole way through.
