University Place Smart Home Specialists.
Chambers Bay · Cirque Drive · West UP · South UP. One of Pierce County’s most sought-after communities — established homes, Chambers Bay views, and homeowners who expect precision. Control4, Ajax, AVA, and enterprise networking installed by the same team that designed it.
A Community That Demands a Higher Standard
University Place has a distinct character — established well-built homes, strong community pride, and residents who know exactly what they want. It’s also one of Pierce County’s most underserved markets for premium integration: companies that credibly handle this quality either don’t serve the area or charge a premium for the Seattle commute.

- Enterprise WiFi for multi-level bluff properties
