Tacoma Deserves Better Than Big-Box Integration

Tacoma is a city in transition — historic neighborhoods being restored, new construction rising along the waterfront. The smart home market here has been dominated by companies that treat Tacoma as the bottom of their service map. We built our South Sound presence specifically to change that.

Control4 Gold — Not Entry-Level

Gold is the advanced tier — higher training requirements, manufacturer testing, and demonstrated capability on complex multi-room systems.

  • When your home has four floors and twelve zones, basic certification isn’t enough
  • Advanced drivers and dealer-exclusive tools
  • 30+ years combined integration experience
  • Programmed right the first time, built to run for years

Ajax Security — The Real Upgrade

If you’re considering Ring, ADT, or a local alarm company, Ajax is a meaningful step up in every technical category.

  • Encrypted wireless with frequency hopping
  • Photo-verified alarms and cellular backup
  • AI cameras and 24/7 professional monitoring
  • Native Control4 integration — one app, not two

South Sound Local — Not Seattle

Based in Kent, invested in Pierce County. Rapid response, local permitting knowledge, and every person on your project a full-time employee.

  • 25 minutes away — no Seattle scheduling delays
  • We know Tacoma’s housing stock and permitting
  • Zero subcontractors — one accountable team
  • Transparent menu pricing — the number doesn’t change

Every System. One Team. One Architecture.

Six disciplines designed together — by the same South Sound-based team. No subcontractors, no hand-offs.

Across Every Tacoma Neighborhood

From historic North End mansions to new waterfront construction — Tacoma's housing diversity is something we design around, not away from.

Historic · Residential

North End

Tacoma's oldest and most prestigious residential neighborhood. Victorian and Craftsman homes requiring wireless-first design, retrofit lighting, and security that respects historic architecture.

Historic · Residential

Stadium District

Dense historic residential adjacent to downtown — smart home retrofits, Control4 integration, and enterprise WiFi for older construction where structural limits demand creative design.

Waterfront · Residential

Ruston & Old Town

Waterfront properties with premium home profiles — outdoor audio, motorized shades managing western Puget Sound exposure, integrated Ajax security, whole-home Control4.

Residential

Proctor District

Established upper-residential neighborhood — whole-home smart lighting, motorized shades, Control4 integration, and enterprise networking for well-appointed single-family homes.

Residential

West End / Westgate

Quiet established neighborhoods — retrofit automation, security upgrades, and network overhauls for families who want technology that just works.

New Construction

South Tacoma & Midland

Newer builds that are pre-wire ready — blueprint-stage design, structured cabling, and full Control4 architecture from the ground up.

Tacoma Smart Home FAQs

Do you serve all of Tacoma?

Yes — every Tacoma neighborhood, from North End and Stadium District historic homes to Ruston and Old Town waterfront properties, Proctor, West End, South Tacoma, and Midland. We're based in Kent, 25 minutes up I-5, which means rapid response without Seattle scheduling delays.

Can you install smart home technology in Tacoma's historic homes?

Absolutely — it's a specialty. North End and Stadium District homes require wireless-first design: Ajax security and LightSwitch over the Jeweller protocol, battery and PoE shades, and Control4 wireless dimmers, all installed without cutting into plaster or disturbing historic millwork. Where wiring is possible, we route through basements, attics, and existing pathways.

How much does a smart home installation cost in Tacoma?

Focused single-discipline projects (a security system, a lighting package, a WiFi overhaul) typically start in the $3,500–$10,000 range. Whole-home Control4 installations run $25,000–$100,000+ depending on home size and scope. Every project starts with a free site visit and ends with a fixed proposal — tax included, no surprises.

Why choose Rivas Technology Group over a Seattle integrator?

We're South Sound-based and Pierce County-invested — not commuting down from Seattle. That means faster service response, familiarity with Tacoma's housing stock and permitting, and long-term accountability. We're also the South Sound's only Control4 Gold Dealer and one of the only Ajax-certified dealers in Pierce County.

Do you handle both new construction and retrofits in Tacoma?

Both. New waterfront and South Tacoma construction gets blueprint-stage design and full pre-wire; historic and established neighborhoods get wireless-first retrofits with minimal disruption. Same team, same architecture, same one-app result.

What about commercial projects in Tacoma?

Yes — commercial AV, surveillance, access control, and networking for Tacoma businesses is a core practice. See our Tacoma Commercial AV page or the commercial hub for the full catalog.
