Founded in 2015—but conceived long before—Kingwood Smart Homes (KSH) began as a high-end custom systems integrator and designer. What started with sourcing and installing cutting-edge equipment, quickly evolved into a deeper mission: bridging the gap between what clients want and what existing technology then offered.
We’ve grown into Houston’s leading innovator in home automation systems, not just through integration, but by pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Our strength lies in creating custom-tailored systems that fit your needs exactly—whether that means selecting the right components, engineering new solutions from scratch, or building our own silicon to outperform the “big names” at a fraction of the cost. We are your true adVantage, ahead of the Crest of the wave, and not looking 4 Control systems to sell you. We build them.
At KSH, we blend the precision of aerospace engineering, the simplicity of an iPhone, and the durability of poured concrete, and the interchangeability of legos.—into every system we design and install.
Deep down inside, you KNOW what is possible. Don’t waste your time looking for what’s possible, choose your own adventure.
If your project, or needs don’t fit into a standard box, maybe it’s time to build your own—with KSH. Let us engineer it; You’ll be glad you did!
