We provide professional installations of structured wiring (Cat6, fiber optic, RG6), smart home automation, security camera systems, access control, audio & video distribution, TV mounting, whole-home speakers, and motorized shades. We handle both residential luxury homes and commercial projects, as well as new construction pre-wiring.

Structured wiring is the reliable low-voltage cable backbone (under 50V) that connects all your smart devices, networks, security, and AV systems without relying solely on Wi-Fi. It ensures high speed, zero interference, future-proof scalability, and rock-solid performance—essential in 2026 as wireless alone often leads to dropouts, latency, or security vulnerabilities.

Yes! Our headquarters are in Florida, but we travel worldwide with no restrictions to the entire United States, Spain, Colombia, Mexico, and virtually any other country. We’ve successfully completed international projects and handle remote consultations plus on-site installation as needed.

Costs vary based on home size, system complexity, chosen brands, and scope (e.g., basic security vs. full automation). We always deliver a clear, itemized quote after a free consultation—no hidden fees or fixed packages, because we tailor the perfect solution for your needs.

Small residential jobs usually take 3–7 days. Full-home automation, AV integration, or builder projects range from 2–6 weeks (including design, coordination, and testing). For international work, we streamline logistics to keep timelines as short as possible.

Absolutely—we are certified integrators for top-tier brands including Crestron, Control4, Lutron (lighting & shades), Sonos (audio), Uniview (security), and many others. We can also integrate or upgrade your existing gear from any compatible manufacturer.

We specialize in both. Whether upgrading an older setup (adding smart features or fixing Wi-Fi issues) or building a new structured-wiring foundation from scratch, we evaluate your current infrastructure during the free consultation and propose the best path forward.

Residential projects prioritize user-friendly luxury, seamless daily control, and aesthetics. For builders and contractors, we focus on clean, code-compliant pre-wire (low-voltage infrastructure), organized paneling, and tight coordination with your timeline and team to ensure smooth handover.

Yes—very secure. We implement industry-best practices: segregated networks (VLANs), strong encryption, regular firmware updates, and no-cloud-dependent options where possible. Privacy is paramount—your data stays private, never shared or sold, and we walk you through every security layer.

No. For existing homes, we use non-invasive methods like existing conduits, surface channels, or strategic wall openings for a clean, minimal-disruption install. New builds benefit most from pre-wiring during framing, but retrofits are common and effective.
