After nearly eight years, it was time to perform a "technology remodel" on this home. We upgraded nearly every facet of the system, including new TVs, lift mechanisms, audio/video equipment, lighting controls, and a slick new Apple based automation and control system. The client now has simple control of nearly all the technology in their home from an iPad, iPhone, or wireless remote. We also included bullet-proof WiFi and a robust computer network, so they can enjoy ultra-fast internet and seamless connections throughout the home.
