Lighting Design & Smart Control Add Style & Convenience

"We wish we had added a light over that corner," or "We should have put that switch on the other side of the room." 

These are among the most common regrets homeowners in the Fort Worth area express after completing a custom build or a major remodel. Typically, these realizations only surface once the drywall is finished, the furniture is delivered, and they’ve established new routines that reveal how they actually function within the home.

When relying on traditional electrical infrastructure, moving a switch or altering a light's behavior requires cutting into finished walls. It introduces dust and disruptions along with unexpected expenses.

Allied Home Technologies approaches residential lighting differently. Working with a dedicated technology advisor early in the planning phases unifies your illumination into an adaptable, software-based lighting control system. Our methodology changes the relationship between walls and wiring, unlocking an entirely new level of flexibility for your Texas property.

Outdoor Systems Provide Absolute Reliability Despite Intense Sun And Heat

In Fort Worth, outdoor spaces are extensions of our homes, quickly becoming restful sanctuaries or the primary venues for hosting the people we care about. As the Texas evenings grow warmer, the transition from your living room to your covered porch or screened-in room should feel effortless.

However, achieving a truly resort-style experience requires more than a wireless speaker, string lights, and an umbrella shade. It requires carefully curated technology integration that withstands the elements while enhancing your lifestyle simultaneously.

At Allied Home Technologies, we’ve spent nearly two decades being the premier technology advisors to homeowners in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, transforming their patio plans into reality.

A Proactive Partnership Between Your Integrator and Contractor is Key to a Successful Renovation

Remodels often focus on aesthetics. It’s easy to ignore what you don’t see. But every home renovation is an opportunity to make your space more beautiful, comfortable, and efficient. The most successful renovation projects prioritize the home’s nervous system early on. 

While many people think comprehensive technology installs are only possible during new builds, we always recommend planning smart home upgrades during a remodel. It’s a great opportunity to introduce new lighting, security, and entertainment features while reducing costs and protecting your home’s architectural integrity.
