PRE-WIRING

The primary benefit of working with a smart home integrator is the opportunity to pre-wire your projects before the drywall goes up. Homeowners expect technology that will work quickly, efficiently, and doesn’t clutter the space with visible components and cabling.

We can work with you to create detailed plans that take the architectural design into account, so the system works flawlessly the first time around. Homeowners benefit from increased property value, and you won’t have to re-work anything to accommodate their needs.

SYSTEM DESIGN

You can also benefit from understanding the complete system design. Wiring will hide behind drywall, but outlets, lifts, and architectural speakers require pre-planning and calibration to function correctly. By collaborating with a technology professional, you can design around the technology, and the devices integrate seamlessly with the room.

Additionally, many homeowners look for flush-mounted installations to avoid unsightly wall-acne. We work with specialized bracket manufacturers to provide the best possible look for every room of the new home construction. With your help, we can integrate the keypads and other controls to blend with the design. The homeowner will be happier, and you're ready to move on to your next project quickly.

HISTORY

If you’re building a smart home system, you want to work with someone who has a bit of history in the field. Not only does it indicate that they’ve completed satisfactory jobs in the past, but they also come to you with experience. A local professional is more likely to understand the needs of local residents. They can help suggest ideas that your neighbors are already enjoying, while still listening to you. Together, you’ll build the system of your dreams.

For more than 20 years, Echo Workshop has been serving the greater Houston area with AV and integrated technology solutions. We’ve seen devices and manufacturers come and go, and our experience has helped us partner with reliable companies that will take your home to the next level. And we have a proven record of collaborating with other local professionals like designers, architects, and builders for the best installation experience.

EXPERTISE

Any company you work with should be an expert in the field of technology. Of course, that may be hard to determine -- especially if you don’t know much about it yourself. Remember, you’re not looking for an expert on every manufacturer. You’re looking for an expert on the manufacturers and devices that can fit your needs. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. After all, it's your home system, and a good integrator wants it to be a practical part of your everyday life.

We partner with best-in-class manufacturers to provide you with the best and most versatile solutions. Our Tutorials page will show you how you can take advantage of your systems quickly and efficiently while providing you with easy-to-understand instructional videos.
