Whole-Home Wi-Fi Coverage

Smart homes are only as smart as their Wi-Fi. We walk the house, map dead zones, and place access points where they belong. Ethernet backhaul where it counts, mesh only where it makes sense. The result: strong, even coverage for streaming, work calls, cameras, consoles, and automations.

  • AP placement & channel tuning: Avoid interference, sticky clients, and random drops.
  • Ethernet backhaul: Wired links between main points so your mesh doesn’t crawl.
  • Roaming that works: Devices move room-to-room without clingy disconnects.

Smart Home Devices & IoT (Done Safely)

Thermostats, locks, bulbs, plugs, speakers, cameras — they’re convenient, until they’re misconfigured or clog your Wi-Fi. We handle pairing, apps, routines, and security so your smart home feels invisible in the best way.

  • Smart thermostats: Install, wiring check, app setup, schedules (Morning / Away / Sleep).
  • Locks & doorbells: Code setup, guest access, notifications that make sense.
  • Lighting & plugs: Room-based scenes, sunset/sunrise automation, vacation modes.
  • IoT segmentation: Put smart gadgets on their own lane so they can’t see laptops or family photos. See Network Security & Hardening.
  • Guest Wi-Fi: Easy to share, isolated from your private devices.

Doorbells, Cameras & Alarms

We keep the safety gear boring and reliable. Clear notifications, clean wiring, and sensors that talk to the right hubs without drowning you in false alarms.

  • Video doorbells & cameras: Power, Wi-Fi/PoE, motion zones, privacy zones, and recording retention configured correctly.
  • Smart smoke & CO detectors: Placement and setup so alerts go to the right phones.
  • Water leak sensors: Under sinks, near sump pumps, around water heaters — quiet until they matter.
  • Local or cloud recording: NVR, microSD, or vendor cloud — we’ll help pick what fits.

TV Mounting & Home Theatre

From a simple living-room mount to a full movie room. We handle the heavy lifting, cable clean-up, and AV tuning so picture and sound feel effortless.

  • TV mounting: Stud-secure, centered, and level. For 60" and smaller indoor sets, mounts start at $89.99.
  • Larger / outdoor mounts: Heavier sets and outdoor brackets are $149.99 and up; oversized or specialty mounts are quoted after we see the wall.
  • Soundbars & surround: Mount, balance, and tune soundbars or 3.1/5.1/7.1 systems to the room.
  • Projectors: Ceiling mount, alignment, and input setup starting at $149.99.
  • Cable management: Basic tidy is included in our bundles; in-wall routing is quoted based on wall construction and access.
