Quick Answer
What does a whole-home smart home installation cost?
Focused single-discipline projects (a lighting package, a security system, a WiFi overhaul) typically start in the $3,500–$10,000 range. Whole-home Control4 installations integrating lighting, audio, security, shades, and networking generally run $25,000–$100,000+ depending on home size and scope. Every project gets a free consultation and a fixed proposal — tax included, no ballparks. Rivas Technology Group is the South Sound’s only Control4 Gold Dealer — one team for automation, lighting, networking, shades, security, theater, and outdoor living, based in Kent, WA.

One Team for Every System in Your Home

Seven disciplines under one roof means your lighting was designed with your security in mind, your network was sized for your cameras, and your theater scene knows about your shades. No coordination between vendors — because there’s only one.

  • Systems that respond to each other natively
  • One app, one interface, one vocabulary
  • Start with one discipline, expand any time

Installed by One Team

Design, wiring, mounting, programming, and training — all in-house, all accountable, all to code.

  • No subcontractors on the work that matters

  • Same-team response, no ticket queue

Residential FAQs

What does a whole-home smart home installation cost?

Focused single-discipline projects (a lighting package, a security system, a WiFi overhaul) typically start in the $3,500–$10,000 range. Whole-home Control4 installations integrating lighting, audio, security, shades, and networking generally run $25,000–$100,000+ depending on home size and scope. Every project gets a free consultation and a fixed proposal — tax included, no ballparks.

Can you work on an existing home, or only new construction?

Both. Wireless-first platforms — Ajax security, Ajax LightSwitch, battery and PoE shades, Control4 wireless dimmers — make retrofits practical without opening walls. New construction lets us design infrastructure at the blueprint stage, which is always the better path when available, but most of our residential work is in finished homes.

Do I need all seven systems, or can I start with one?

Start anywhere. Most clients begin with the discipline that solves their biggest daily frustration — usually WiFi, security, or lighting — and expand over time. Everything we install is designed on the same Control4 architecture, so each addition integrates with what's already there instead of adding another app.

Why one integrator instead of separate vendors?

Separate vendors produce separate systems: six apps, three remotes, and finger-pointing when something breaks. One team designing everything together produces one system — your lights know when security arms, your shades respond to the sun, your theater scene runs the whole room. And when you call, the person who answers is the person who built it.

What areas do you serve?

We serve the greater South Sound from our Kent headquarters — Tacoma, Puyallup, Gig Harbor, University Place, Bonney Lake, Tehaleh, Auburn, Federal Way, Covington, Maple Valley, Sumner, Renton, and surrounding King and Pierce County communities.

What support do you provide after installation?

Every installation includes a 90-day workmanship warranty and a walkthrough until the system feels like yours. Our CURATOR remote care plan adds proactive monitoring, remote diagnostics, and priority response — most issues are fixed before you notice them.
