Smart Gadgets You Need To Have For Your Seattle Dream Home

The Greater Seattle Area is one of the best places to live in the United States. As someone who loves living near Seattle, I can tell you that being able to call this place my home is an amazing privilege. The area’s culture, climate, and even its coffee make it a desirable place for anyone to live in.

Seattle also has a reputation for being one of America’s fastest-growing tech hubs. Everything from the city’s public transport system to even the houses is state-of-the-art. If your home doesn’t have certain modern features, you’re missing out on some useful quality-of-life improvements. This is why you need smart home technology.

What Are Smart Gadgets?

Smart home gadgets are devices that rely on the internet for additional functions. Being connected to the internet allows these gadgets to communicate directly to your smartphone. This lets you control and communicate with them almost instantly from wherever you are in your house, which lets you do all kinds of things that make your life as a homeowner much easier.

There are dozens of smart home technology options that you can have in your house. If you’re looking to build or modernize a house in Seattle, WA, you should consider adding these hi-tech, smart home gadgets:

Smart Heating and Cooling

Being in the Pacific Northwest, the Seattle area gets a lot of rain throughout the year. You can also expect the temperature to get hot and dry during the summertime. This makes having a proper temperature control system in your house an absolute necessity. Trust me when I say that you don’t want to have to deal with the area’s hot or rainy days without a working thermostat.

One of the biggest advantages of having smart home heating is how easy it is to use. You can control your house’s temperature with just the tap of an icon on your phone or even with your own voice. These features will greatly improve your quality of life by making it incredibly simple to change your house’s temperature. With smart heating, you’ll be comfy and warm even during the chilliest weather conditions.

Smart Security Systems

As a homeowner, keeping your home safe should be one of your top priorities. Fires, floods, and break-ins are real threats that your house should be prepared for. Having a good security system in place will make you feel secure from any kind of home threat.

Most burglars will avoid a house with some form of security and will run away at the sound of an alarm. In case a burglar does break into your home, smart security systems have modern features like high-resolution, wide-angle cameras, voice recognition, motion sensors, and one-click connectivity with local authorities that make them leagues ahead of traditional home security options.

Many smart security systems will also have built-in features for detecting smoke, fires, and floods. Having these in your house will ensure that you’re prepared for disasters, whenever they may come.

By installing smart security systems in your house, you can sleep soundly at night knowing that your home is protected by state-of-the-art technology.

Smart Entertainment Systems

TVs and speakers have been a living room staple for decades. With smart technology, home entertainment has improved so much from before. Whether you’re watching a movie, video, or live Seattle Seahawks game, having smart home entertainment systems elevates your viewing experience to a different level.

Some smart home speakers have become so advanced that they can fill a room with sound despite only being the size of a water bottle. This would let you save space on what would be a cluttered console table. When paired with high-definition smart television, you could have a great time watching your favorite shows, movies, and videos from the comfort of your living room couch. With phone and voice control, you would never have to worry about losing the remote.

Reza replaced siding and rebuilt a deck. He was always courteous, informative, communicative. The workmanship of his team was excellent and proceeded as plan. I was very happy with Reza and strongly recommend him. He was a pleasure to work with

There is no job Rez construction can’t do, big or small. We had him design and install a new waterproof room deck (old one began to leak), install new roof, install new windows and doors (he made us custom flashings), install new siding, create drainage, concrete work and much more. Reza’s keen eye for engineering quickly identified the areas that were problematic in the home and he rectified the issues. He took his time to send us lots of pictures to explain the situation, and patiently waited as we went back and forth, brainstormed ideas for what we might want to do with this space and researched several products for the unique applications. We felt so comfortable and confident in his work throughout. His tradesmen are genuinely craftsmen. It is totally worth being patient and waiting to do the job right! They care about their projects and it shows in the attention to detail. We will be enjoying our serendipitous spaces for decades to come. Thank you!

Reza was one of only a few General contractors who agreed to help us navigate the uncertainties and perils of renovating a 1920 ‘sold as is’ beach house in the middle of a pandemic in 2020. Noone could possibly predict what a massive undertaking this would become, and Reza stepped up to the challenge. His unique combination of skills in project management, engineering, and experience with both new construction and renovating very old homes made him the perfect person to take on this challenge. We only knew to expect the unexpected, and Reza managed to guide us through the process, both emotionally and financially, as we were going from a ‘remodel’ to a ‘gut-and renovate’, to a ‘rebuild’. Throughout the process, Reza’s project management skills and engineering expertise ensured that we would have a dream home that was safe and secure for our future. Most contractors would have run for the hills or cut corners to save time and trouble. There is no problem that Reza and his team can’t find a creative solution for, and this house has put them all to the test! He genuinely enjoys problem solving and coming up with the best solutions for both the design and the functionality of the house. He communicates clearly and consistently, sending photos and updates along the way, and will go out of his way to make sure the quality of the workmanship is top notch. His technical skills are only surpassed by his ability to manage people and maintain positive relationships with neighbors. His calm, patient and practical approach has been critical during this major project that has spanned over 2 years. His courtesy and close supervision have navigated some rather tense situations in a tightly packed waterfront area, where space is incredibly tight. Throughout the process, Reza not only takes care of the customer, but he also takes care of the neighbors and the community, and everyone is better for his commitment to excellence.

We had a 2nd floor addition project that added a new office and master bathroom to our house. The project had a number of challenges due to how the first floor was constructed years ago. Reza patiently and effectively solved each challenge and gave us great confidence that our new structure, as well as our existing structure, were built to a high standard of quality and safety. Throughout our project Reza proved himself to be very open, sincere, and knowledgeable, and we are thrilled with what he's helped us build for our home.

Working with Reza has been such a refreshing experience: he has been clear, communicative, easy to reach, and very pleasant throughout our remodel project, working through permitting issues and being flexible around my schedule. Have been very happy to work with him and will do so again the next time we have a project like this.

I had solicited Rez Construction to replace (4) large, leaky windows and they were attentive, communicative, responsible, and transparent throughout the entire project. I am writing Rez Construction another contract with week because of their excellent work and would recommend them to others as well!

I had a major home remolding completed by Rez Construction last year including complete kitchen, bathrooms and roofing and I was so satisfied with the time to complete, the cost and more importantly with the communication throughout the project. I highly recommend Rez Construction to anyone who wants to do major remodeling, new build or addition. Best value and best result!

Rez Construction completed final remodel work on my house that I sold. My project was fit into his existing schedule and the work was completed on time. The work involved the all important front entrance. Double doors were installed but that installed rebuilding surrounding area. The finished job was professional and attractive. I found Reza to have expert knowledge in all areas; carpentry and building, flooring, painting. I had excellent communications at all times and as I could not be in town when the work was being done, this was very important. I highly recommend Rez Construction.
