Building or Remodeling? Here’s How Barney Miller’s Can Help
When planning a new build or remodel, many homeowners and businesses overlook one of the most critical aspects—technology integration. Whether it's a home theater, whole-house audio, or smart office solutions, getting the technology right from the start can make all the difference. At Barney Miller’s, we specialize in creating seamless, cutting-edge home and office technology experiences. Here’s how we can guide you through every phase of your project, ensuring a smooth and successful integration.
Plan Early to Avoid Delays
One of the most common mistakes people make when building or remodeling is waiting too long to think about technology. Planning ahead is key to achieving the results you envision. This includes considering how you want to control your lighting, audio, and video, and where you want your devices. Early planning allows for better coordination with other aspects of your project, such as electrical and HVAC, so that everything works together seamlessly.
Set a Realistic Budget with Our Calculator
Budgeting for technology can be challenging. Many factors come into play, including the scale of the project, desired features, and level of integration. To simplify this process, Barney Miller’s offers Barney’s Budget Builder, a planning tool that will help you get a clearer picture of the investment needed to meet your goals. This helps ensure there are no surprises down the line, and you can allocate funds to achieve the best results for your space.
Choose an HTA-Certified Professional
Not all technology integrators are created equal. It’s important to work with an HTA (Home Technology Association) certified professional like Barney Miller’s. Our certification means we adhere to the highest standards of quality, reliability, and customer service. We understand that your project is an investment, and our expertise ensures that your home or office technology will meet your needs for years to come.
Wiring Is Still Essential
In an age of wireless technology, it’s easy to assume that wiring is no longer necessary—but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Reliable and high-speed performance often depends on a well-designed wiring infrastructure. From home theaters to office networks, wired connections provide stability and speed that wireless alone can’t match. At Barney Miller’s, we take care of wiring during the initial phases to ensure your systems are robust and ready for the future.
Our Process: From Design to Service
Technology integration is more than just plugging in devices. It involves a comprehensive process to ensure everything fits perfectly into your home or office environment. Here’s how we make it happen:
- Design Phase
During the design phase, we work with you to understand your vision and goals. This phase includes determining the locations of speakers, screens, control panels, and network equipment. Our team collaborates with architects, designers, and contractors to ensure that the technology blends seamlessly with the overall aesthetics and functionality of your space.
- Rough-In Phase
The rough-in phase is when we install wiring and infrastructure before the walls are closed up. This is a critical step, as it lays the groundwork for all the technology to come. Our team ensures that everything is properly wired, labeled, and ready for the next stages, so you don’t have to worry about redoing work later on.
- Trim-Out Phase
Once the walls are up, it’s time for the trim-out phase. This involves installing and configuring outlets, speakers, and other visible components. It’s where your vision starts to take shape. Our focus during this stage is on precision and attention to detail, ensuring that every component is installed correctly for optimal performance.
- Final Install Phase
The final install phase is when we bring all the components together and ensure everything works as it should. We set up and tested all systems, from audio and video to lighting controls and security. Our goal is to make sure that your new technology is user-friendly, intuitive, and ready to go from day one.
Ongoing Service and Support
Even after the installation is complete, our commitment to you doesn’t end. We offer ongoing service and support to keep your systems running smoothly. Whether you need help with updates, troubleshooting, or simply want to explore new features, our team is always ready to assist. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we’re here to make sure your technology investment continues to enhance your life or business.
