Mission statement: 

Technology in every room.

Vision statement: 

Our services are usually something people designing a home do not want to think about when configuring room sizes, Kitchen Cabinets, Bathroom Tiles, etc.. However, when the project is complete, the first thing they are usually asking about is the technology!

Company description: 

Owner Joe Calise has been in the electronics business since his High School days over 30 years ago. Joe and his team have worked on everything from Vehicles, Large Homes and Estates, Commercial Projects, Private Jets, and Large Marine Vessels. Keeping employees on board to stay consistent and familiar with customers is a key interest of our company. Relationships and volunteer work within the Interior Design community has brought Joe to leadership within the Interior Design Society, both locally and nationally. Technology needs to be included in every project, but typically should not be a focal point of the room unless the room is specifically designed for that purpose.
