Upgrade Your Home Without the Construction Chaos
Add Smart Technology Without Upending the Home You’ve Worked Hard to Build
You’ve worked hard to create the perfect retreat for your family.
The open-concept living room frames Hawaii’s famous sunsets perfectly, the kitchen island draws friends like a magnet during dinner parties, and your master suite rivals those of the most luxurious resorts. So when you think about adding smart lighting, whole-home audio, or security systems, we get being scared you’ll have to tear everything apart.
Many of our prospective clients think smart home upgrades mean ripping into walls and living through months of construction dust. But as wireless technology improves, that’s not the case! Professional retrofits work with your existing space and deliver the same results as new construction, just without destroying what you've already built.
Smart Lighting Uses What You Already Have
Your current electrical setup gives you more options than you think. Modern smart lighting retrofits rely on wireless protocols that let you replace existing switches with keypads that pull up custom lighting scenes. You’ll also get access to a mobile app to manage existing fixtures.
The payoff? Lights that dim automatically as the sun sets over the Pacific. Dramatic lighting for entertaining. A home that looks occupied while you're traveling. All without changing how your spaces look.
Our lighting partner, Lutron, offers a wide range of wireless keypad options that connect directly to where your switches were, so there’s no need for additional wiring to get added functionality.
Whole-Home Audio Without Opening Walls
High-quality sound throughout your home doesn't require extensive rewiring. Today's wireless audio systems and compact speakers work with your existing architecture, using natural acoustics and built-in features to deliver exceptional sound while staying nearly invisible.
Soffits and built-in cabinetry work perfectly for discreet speakers. Outdoor eaves provide coverage for lanai areas. Wireless connectivity allows you to get sound from your sources to your speakers without extensive wiring.
Crown molding conceals what little wiring you do need. The system connects to whatever you already use—streaming services, vinyl, satellite radio. Play music throughout the house during dinner parties or pump energetic tunes by the pool. The technology feels like it was always there.
Network and Security Stay Out of Sight
Strong Wi-Fi and comprehensive security don't mean visible equipment cluttering your spaces. Retrofit installations place wireless access points and security components within existing infrastructure to maintain your clean aesthetic.
Utility spaces and closets house network equipment. Wireless cameras don’t require cable runs to share footage with the surveillance system, and indoor sensors fit into current outlets and switch plates.
Smart locks replace current hardware with minimal changes, and window and door sensors install without altering your home's appearance. You get enterprise-level security and fast internet everywhere, but guests never see the technology making it happen.
Skip the Construction Nightmare
Your smart home doesn't require starting over or living through months of upheaval. Professional retrofits bring luxury technology to your existing space while preserving everything you love about your Maui home.
