If you're planning on remodeling a house, most likely you have several goals in mind for your new abode.  More than likely, you are updating kitchens and baths, as those are the areas that often get the most attention and return the most for your remodeling investment. If it's a full remodel, you may be gutting the interior or even adding on square footage, all of which is a significant project.

Regardless of the size of the project, any time you are moving walls, changing trim, upgrading electrical wiring, or replacing cabinets and plumbing, there is a perfect opportunity to install smart home automation.

Nothing updates a home more than installing current home automation capabilities. According to recent data from the National Association of Home Builders, 7-12% of home remodeling projects go to electronics.  Much of this is going to smart home upgrades in lighting, climate control, entertainment, security, and here in Texas, smart shading and pool control as well.

If you are planning a renovation or remodel in the Park Cities, now is the perfect time to integrate a smart home automation system to modernize your property fully.

We’ve written on these pages before about smart home automation systems.  Technology that makes it easier to manage your home’s functions, like security, lighting, climate, motorized shades, and entertainment equipment.  If it seems to you that home automation vendors seem more alike than different, you would be correct in that their shared goals are to make it easier to manage your home. 

All of the major systems provide similar functionality.  But there are differences in how they do it, and those differences can matter based on your lifestyle, the size and scope of your property, and how you like do things. 

Those differences can manifest themselves in the ease of setting up and programming the system, expanding it in the future, and the ability to integrate new devices and capabilities that are emerging every year.
