Smart Home, Lighting & AV in Ridgewood, NJ.

Cave Group does. We are a Lutron Gold Dealer and Crestron Elite Gold Partner with an office in Fairview, in the same county. In Ridgewood most of our work is retrofit: lighting control, shades, audio, and networks added to older houses without disturbing their interiors.

It depends on the size of the house and how much of it is being renovated. RadioRA 3 suits a house where the switches are simply being replaced. HomeWorks is for larger houses and for projects that include shades, many keypads, or centralized panels. We can tell you which applies after a walk-through.

Usually, with care. We choose locations where the framing allows it, cut once, and use speakers that are plastered over or sit behind a very small grille. In a room where the ceiling should not be touched, we use discreet wall speakers instead.

Exterior changes in a local historic district can require review, so we check with the village before mounting anything that is visible from the street, and we choose small cameras and paint-matched mounts. Interior work is not affected.

Yes. We assess and document what is there, recover or rebuild the programming, replace what has reached end of life, and bring the system under a Cave Watch support plan, so the next problem has a phone number.
