High-Tech Living Experience

Island homes, connected and easy to live with.

We're a mainland team, and we travel to the San Juan Islands for projects, from full-time homes to vacation places on the water. Designing and installing home technology since 2009.

Technology that fits your island home

Island homes have their own needs. Many sit right on the water, and many are second homes that sit empty for weeks at a time. Internet can be hard to get, and the system has to be solid from day one. It needs good Wi-Fi from the house to the dock, cameras you can check from the mainland, and TV and music that simply work when you arrive for the weekend.

We're based in Mill Creek, and we travel to the islands for projects, including work on Orcas Island. One team designs, installs and stands behind every system, so it all works together and stays easy to use.

What homeowners say

“My wife & I have hired High-Tech Living twice- first to replace an old security system & improve the wifi at our old house, and, after moving recently, to do both of those at our new house, and also help set up our home entertainment system. They've been a pleasure to have around working on our house & their results have been great. You wouldn't believe how organized they've made the inside of our networking closet!”

San Juan Islands questions, answered

  • Do you work in the San Juan Islands?

    Yes. We're based in Mill Creek on the mainland, and we travel to the San Juan Islands for projects, including work on Orcas Island. We're available Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and meetings are by appointment.

  • What happens at the free consultation?

    It's one visit. We look at your home, ask how you want to use it, and talk through ideas, with no obligation. For island homes, we schedule the consultation by arrangement. If you'd like to go further, design is the next step. That's a paid phase where we write the scope, the equipment list and a proposal for you to review.

  • Can you get our island home online?

    Yes. Where cable or fiber doesn't reach, we install and set up Starlink satellite internet. Then we build a solid network inside the house around it, so the Wi-Fi reaches every room, the deck and the dock.

  • Can we keep an eye on the house when we're not there?

    Yes. Cameras, an alarm with professional monitoring, and leak sensors let you check on the house from your phone and get alerts if something's wrong, without having to make the trip.
