Wiring Issues
Older homes often lack neutral wires needed for smart switches.

Camera and doorbell mounts that won't loosen or lose alignment.
Proper Smart Lock Fit
Smart deadbolts must line up perfectly with the strike plate to lock automatically without jamming.

We install all major smart home ecosystems (Ring, Nest, Ecobee, Lutron, etc.).

Replacing a standard deadbolt, aligning the latch, and setting up the connected app.

Check Wiring
We check compatibility (like looking for a neutral wire or testing transformer voltage).
Mount & Wire
We wire and physically install the smart lock, doorbell, or switch.
Connect App
We get the device connected to your home Wi-Fi and paired with your phone app.
User Demo
We show you how to lock/unlock, view feeds, and adjust settings before we leave.
A Note on Older Simi Valley Homes
Central Simi Valley and Santa Susana homes from the 1960s–70s sometimes lack the neutral wire some smart switches require. If you're planning a smart switch upgrade and have an older home, mention it when you call — we can check compatibility before you purchase a device that won't work with your existing wiring.
Neutral Wires
Smart switches require continuous power to stay connected to your Wi-Fi, which is why they require a white neutral wire. Standard switches only break the hot wire.
Do you set up the app, or just install the hardware?
Both — a smart device that's physically mounted but not connected to your phone or home network isn't actually functional yet. We complete the app pairing and basic setup as part of the install, not as a separate step you're left to figure out.
Complex Setup Scope
We handle standard device installations and app configuration. Complex, multi-device home automation programming, managed mesh network setups, or structural rewiring are outside our handyman scope.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to buy the smart device myself, or can you supply it?
Either works — many customers already have a specific brand in mind, and we're happy to install what you've purchased or recommend options.
Will my old deadbolt door work with a smart lock?
Most standard doors are compatible, but we'll check the door prep and existing hardware before installing to confirm fit.
Can you set up voice assistant integration (Alexa, Google Home)?
Basic pairing, yes. Complex multi-device automation setups may be outside a standard install visit — ask when you book.
What if my home doesn't have the wiring a smart switch needs?
We'll tell you before installing, and can discuss alternative compatible devices or what additional wiring work (which may need a licensed electrician) would be involved.
