Wireless-First. No Construction Zone.

Most homeowners assume professional smart home technology means opening walls. It doesn’t. Modern wireless platforms — Ajax security, wireless Control4 lighting, battery and PoE shades — deliver every capability without the renovation, installed by one team from design through support.

Smart Home for Homeowners FAQs

Do I need to open walls for a smart home?

No — wireless-first design is the point. Ajax security mounts clean with zero drywall cuts, Control4 wireless dimmers replace switches on existing wiring, shades run on battery or PoE, and WiFi is engineered with strategically placed access points. Renovation is never a prerequisite.

What's the best first smart home project?

The two highest-impact entry points are security (Ajax installs in 1–2 days, complete protection immediately) and networking (a day's work that fixes dead zones and creates the foundation every later system needs). Both are standalone projects that integrate into a full Control4 system whenever you expand.

How much does it cost to add smart home technology to an existing home?

Focused entry projects — a security system, a network overhaul, a lighting package — typically start in the $3,500–$10,000 range. Whole-home Control4 systems run $25,000–$100,000+ depending on home size and scope. Free consultation, fixed proposal, tax included.

Will everything work in one app?

Yes — that's the difference between smart devices and a smart home. Every platform we install is selected to work natively with every other: Ajax security, Control4 automation, climate, lighting, and shades on one interface, not five separate apps.

Can I expand later without redoing anything?

Yes — that's how the architecture is designed. Start with security or networking, and every later addition (lighting, shades, theater, whole-home audio) integrates with what's already installed rather than replacing it.

What support comes after installation?

A walkthrough until it feels like yours, a 90-day workmanship warranty, and CURATOR remote care available for proactive monitoring — the team that installed it answers the phone.
