Individual smart devices installed and configured — no whole-home integration. Good starting point for homeowners new to smart home tech
Whole-home smart lighting with dimmers, schedules, and scene control — including circadian lighting for health-conscious homeowners
Multi-room streaming audio — listen to different music in each room or sync the whole house. In-ceiling speakers or Sonos-based systems
From a clean TV mount with hidden wiring to a fully dedicated 4K cinema room with Dolby Atmos. Calibrated to your specific room
Professional-grade camera systems, smart locks, and video doorbells — installed cleanly with no exposed wiring and integrated into your smart home
All systems unified under one platform — lighting, audio, AV, climate, security, and energy management. One app controls everything. Matter-compatible for future expansion
Running wire through open walls during a build costs a fraction of what retrofit wiring costs through finished drywall. If you're building or renovating, now is the time to rough-in
More zones means more equipment and more labor time. A single-room home theater is a different scope than whole-home audio in an 8-room house
Lutron smart lighting runs $80–$150/switch vs $15 for basic smart switches. The difference is reliability, local processing (no internet required), and build quality. We'll tell you where premium matters and where it doesn't
Clean installs with hidden wiring take longer than surface-run cables. We always do hidden wiring — it protects the system and your home's resale value — but it's a real labor cost that cheaper bids often skip
Every system we install gets properly configured and calibrated to your space. Audio calibration, display calibration, and scene programming take time — but they're the difference between a system that actually performs and one that just technically works
Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and Lutron all have different cost structures. We recommend based on your existing devices and long-term goals — not brand loyalty
A renovation is the cheapest chance you get to wire a finished home. When walls or ceilings are already open, running Cat6, speaker wire and low-voltage cable takes far less labor than fishing it through finished drywall later.
What moves the price: how many rooms and drops you want, whether the walls are open or finished, how far each run is from the network rack, attic and basement access, and how much of the work has to fit around your contractor’s schedule. Bring us in before drywall goes up and we can rough-in everything in one visit.

Yes — and the data in 2026 is clear. Professionally installed smart home systems add 3–5% to home resale value, according to multiple real estate market studies. With Lancaster County's median home price at $364K (up 4% year-over-year as of mid-2026), that's a potential $11,000–$18,000 in added value at sale.
78% of buyers say they'd pay more for a home with smart features already installed. Professionally integrated systems — with hidden wiring, calibrated audio, and a single app controlling everything — command more than DIY setups with visible components and fragmented apps. Security systems and energy management consistently top buyer preference lists.
If you're thinking about selling in the next 3–7 years, a smart home investment often pays for itself at closing — and you get to enjoy it in the meantime.
