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.
Nine disciplines, designed to work as a single, effortless experience — for a private home or a place of business.
Lighting, climate, security, and entertainment on one app, one remote, or your voice.
Hidden, built-in speakers and indoor/outdoor zones — from one room to thirty-six.
Ultra HD distribution and the right screen and streaming setup for how you watch.
Intelligent lighting that shifts brightness, color, and warmth to flatter every room.
From basic Wi-Fi to multi-AP mesh — designed and secured for the speed you pay for.
AI cameras with facial recognition and license-plate capture — search your footage in plain words, like “man in a red shirt with sunglasses.”
Smart locks, gates, and video doorbells — grant access to the right people, anytime.
Remote comfort plus safety automations — freeze protection, fire response, and alerts.
Battery backup for critical systems through whole-home backup when the grid fails.
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.
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.
Both co-founders are certified to program Control4 — the deep configuration most shops outsource, we do in house.
Certified on Crestron as well, for the most demanding residential and commercial control projects.
A software engineer in house means custom Control4 software, built around exactly how you live or work.
The same programming depth built the interactive tour of the Apollo Mission Control room at NASA's Johnson Space Center.
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.

We learn the space and how you live or work in it.
A clear plan and proposal — equipment, layout, budget.
Clean, precise work by our own team, finished to last.
We're a call away for tuning, service, and upgrades.
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.

Design and installation across 27 communities, from River Oaks to The Woodlands.

We're small and senior on purpose. When you call, you reach the people who design and program your system — and answer the phone themselves.
Tell us about your home or business and what you'd like it to do, and we'll follow up to schedule a consultation. Prefer to talk? You'll usually reach Brenda, our office manager, first.
The employee tools — including the password generator and, soon, scheduling — are moving behind a secure sign-in. We're building that next. Check back shortly.
Your 24/7 portal — instant answers, online service scheduling, and an AI assistant for your system — is launching soon. In the meantime, call or text (713) 955-5908, or send a service request.
