OUR PROCESS

Expert planning. Thoughtful engineering. Passionate construction. All of these things are needed to help deliver the best experience to all of our customers. Whether it's being guided through our showroom by a dedicated salesperson, you welcoming one of our technicians into your home for an in-person consultation, or carefully planning, engineering, and construction of your custom smart home solution, we take pride in providing the best service possible. From start to finish, you can expect nothing but an exceptional experience from all of us at Custom Residential Systems every time.

Consultation

We have consultants available to visit your home to evaluate your proposed entertainment area and to make recommendations on home entertainment products and/or custom installation solutions. Call or visit us to setup your in-home consultation. We will work with you to come up with a date and time that works with your busy schedule. We want your input so that we can come up with a custom installation that fits your needs, lifestyle and budget.

System Design & Engineering

During system design & engineering, our team is working from construction plans and your approved scope of work to complete a comprehensive design within budget. Along with a full set of design documentation, we are typically collaborating with your builder, designer, and other trades to ensure our work is well thought out and captures any changes as they arise. Through our process, you can feel confident that we’re creating a custom solution that will give you the best experience possible.

Lighting Design

Our in-house lighting experts will create an efficient and elegant lighting solution that illuminates your space for function and aesthetics. We consult and collaborate with architects, engineers, interior designers and general contractors. You’ll receive documentation for fixture specifications, placement, and electrical plans. Combining our technical acumen and sensitive design techniques the light will beautifully elevate the experience of your space. During post-installation we focus and aim fixtures to optimize how light strikes objects and surfaces.

Project Management

When implementing technology in a home or business there are a lot of moving parts as we coordinate multiple subsystems and roll them into one whole-home or business system that is easy to use. This includes collaborating with your build team, scheduling the phases of your installation appropriately, being flexible and agile when the conditions at the jobsite changes, and ensuring our technical team has everything they need. This is the role of our project management team—get it done on time and on budget.

Installation

An integral part of our commitment to deliver best in class systems for the modern smart home is the diligence and honed skills of our highly trained technical team. With years of education, installation experience, and troubleshooting we are able to implement complex systems in the home that operate easily, efficiently, and are consistently creating raving fans out of clients and design-build partners.

Programming

Making sophisticated technology easy to use and simple for any user requires advanced work on the back end. Control systems bring together sub-systems such as audio/video, media, lighting, and more. Each system speaks a different language, but our programmers translate everything together so it speaks one language and can be controlled easily. Even with great equipment, the programming ultimately determines the intuitive operation. Our programmers balance the technical know-how with the human element so it's easy to use.

Service & Support

We want to ensure that you receive the best customer experience, but that doesn’t just end when your system is installed. Technology changes over time and can often require service or maintenance to continue operating at its best. We are your technology partner and are here to help with everything from maintaining your existing system to helping you optimize with the latest technology available. We are always here to provide expert advice, quality service, professional installation, and the best experience possible.
