If you own a Crestron system and the company that installed it has closed, moved on, or simply stopped answering the phone, you are not stuck. This is some of the most common work we do. We take over orphaned Crestron systems across Seattle and the Eastside, learn how yours was built, get it fully working again, and modernize it on your terms.
We adopt systems left behind by installers who are no longer reachable, and become your single point of contact going forward.
Older Crestron hardware can be modernized, often while keeping the wiring and infrastructure you already paid for.
We diagnose what is failing, document the system properly, and hand you a home that works predictably again.
Bought a Home With Crestron Already Inside?
Whether you bought a home with Crestron already installed or your original company vanished, we can take it over, get it reliable again, and bring it up to date. One call, one point of contact, no runaround.
What Is Crestron Home?
Crestron Home is not a set of disconnected gadgets. It is a single intelligent operating system that brings lighting, shades, climate, audio, video, security, and access control together under one interface. One tap sets a scene. One app runs the whole house. Everything simply works the way you want it to, every time.
Crestron sits at the top of the residential automation world, trusted in the most demanding luxury homes. It is a professionally engineered platform, not a retail kit, and that is exactly where deep certification matters. Every Crestron Home system we deliver is designed and programmed by a Crestron Master Technology Architect and a Crestron Digital Media Certified 4K Engineer, the credentials that separate a polished, reliable home from one that only works on paper.
One System. Every Room.
Crestron Home unifies every system in your home under a single intelligent platform. Here is what it controls:
Smart Lighting
Precision scenes for every room and mood, automated schedules, and warming light that shifts through the day. Pairs beautifully with Lutron for the deepest lighting experience available.
Motorized Shades
Shades that follow the sun, protect your interiors, and drop to the perfect height on a schedule or a single tap. Coordinated with lighting for one seamless scene.
Climate & Comfort
Intelligent thermostat control that holds every space at the right temperature for the hour and the occasion, then ties into lighting, shades, and away modes automatically.
Whole Home Audio
Music that follows you room to room or stays locked to a single zone. Your favorite streaming services and playlists throughout the house, controlled from one app.
Video & Home Theater
Watch content and play games on any screen in the house. One tap dims the lights, drops the screen, and starts the movie. Cinema made effortless.
Security & Home Access
Real time views of your cameras, plus the confirmed status of door locks, alarms, gates, and garages, whether you are home or away. Peace of mind in your pocket.
Pool, Spa & Wellness
Pool and spa control, water features, and wellness scenes that use lighting, temperature, and acoustics to support your sleep, energy, and mood.
Voice & Quick Actions
Trigger any scene by voice through Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri, or with a single Quick Action that handles a dozen steps at once. The complex made simple.
Watch Anything. Anywhere.
One tap dims the lights, drops the screen, and starts the movie. Crestron Home ties your displays, projectors, streaming sources, and speakers into a single experience, so the technology gets out of the way and the moment takes over.
As a Crestron Digital Media Certified 4K Engineer, we design the video distribution behind the scenes correctly the first time, so 4K content reaches every display cleanly, with no guesswork and no compromise.
Why Certification Matters With Crestron
Crestron rewards expert design and programming more than almost any platform in the industry. The gap between a good Crestron project and a great one is entirely in the hands doing the work. Here is what you get with us:
Master Level System Design
As a Crestron Master Technology Architect, we plan every processor, network path, and control surface around your home and how you actually live in it, before a single device is mounted.
Precision Programming
The magic of Crestron lives in the programming. Scenes, schedules, and one tap actions tuned to your habits and tested in your home, not a showroom.
Certified 4K Video
As a Digital Media Certified 4K Engineer, we engineer the video distribution so every display and projector receives clean, reliable 4K, matched to the room and the content.
Existing System Takeover
We adopt and modernize Crestron systems left behind by other installers, keeping the infrastructure that still works and upgrading what doesn't.
A Home That Supports You
Your sleep, your energy, and your mood are shaped by your surroundings. Crestron Home orchestrates lighting, temperature, shades, and audio to support how you feel across the whole day.
Wake to a room that warms and brightens gradually. Wind down to soft, dim scenes at night. Hold every space at the perfect temperature for the hour and the occasion, all handled quietly in the background so you never think about it.

Everything You Want to Know About Crestron
Below are the questions we hear most often from homeowners researching Crestron or trying to get an existing system serviced. If you don't find your answer here, the consultation is always free and there's no faster way to get a clear answer than talking through your specific home.
My Crestron dealer is out of business. Can you take over my system?
Yes, and this is some of the most common work we do. We regularly adopt Crestron systems whose original installer has closed or become unreachable. We learn how your system was built, get it fully working again, document it properly, and become your ongoing point of contact for service and upgrades across Seattle and the Eastside.
Can you fix or upgrade an existing Crestron system you didn't install?
Absolutely. We service and modernize Crestron systems we didn't originally install every week. That includes replacing aging processors, updating or swapping dated touch panels, repairing broken scenes and dead keypads, and extending the system into new rooms, often while keeping the wiring and infrastructure you already paid for.
I bought a home with Crestron already in it. Where do I start?
Start with an assessment. We come out, learn how the existing system is configured, identify what's working and what isn't, and give you a clear plan. Many inherited systems just need documentation, updated programming, and a few hardware refreshes to feel brand new.
What is Crestron Home?
Crestron Home is a complete smart home operating system. It brings lighting, shades, climate, whole home audio, video, security, and access control together on one intelligent platform, controlled from a single app, touch panel, or keypad. One tap sets a scene, and everything simply works the way you want it to.
What is a Crestron Master Technology Architect?
Master Technology Architect is Crestron's advanced design and engineering credential. It signals deep expertise in planning, programming, and integrating Crestron systems the right way. Because Crestron rewards expert design more than almost any platform, that certification is the difference between a home that runs flawlessly and one that merely works on paper.
Can I try Crestron Home before I commit?
Yes. Download the free Crestron Home app on any Apple device and turn on the built in demo mode. It lets you explore the full interface, scenes, lighting, climate, and entertainment, exactly as they feel in a finished home, with no system installed. It is the easiest way to see how intuitive the experience is.
Does Crestron Home work with Lutron?
Yes. Crestron Home integrates with Lutron HomeWorks QSX and RadioRA 3. Many of our projects pair Crestron for whole home automation with Lutron for lighting and shading, giving you the strengths of both platforms under one unified control experience.
Can Crestron be added to an existing home?
Absolutely. Crestron works for both new construction and retrofit. Many of our installations are in existing homes, where careful design and a mix of wired and wireless devices add full automation without major construction.
What happens if the internet goes down?
Crestron Home runs locally. Your scenes, schedules, keypads, touch panels, and in home control keep working even if your internet connection drops. You lose remote access from the app while offline, but the home itself continues to operate normally.
Where do you service and install Crestron systems?
We serve Seattle, Bellevue, Medina, Mercer Island, Clyde Hill, Hunts Point, Yarrow Point, Kirkland, Sammamish, and Issaquah, along with projects across the Greater Seattle area and the Pacific Northwest.
