We were presented with automated digital rendition of proposal that turned out to be spot on. Digital proposal matched finished product adjusted for plant growth. Contractor used his crew that was experienced, polite, professional, organized resulting in quality work, that was cleaned up each day. Beds were well prepared, old dirt material was taken out of beds, going down foot and a half. New material tilled into soil, with top soil added and tilled before new plants installed. Quality plants used. Stone border was installed with rebar and mortared. Stone cut, installed, and treated to match home brick colors. One small 2 inch defect found in cement overlay after completion and payment was repaired immediately and to our complete satisfaction. More than a dozen neighbors have inquired about project. They saw the crew work and could easily tell the care taken and the quality result. We used most if not all of Clayton's suggestions in the project and are very pleased with the results. He knows what he is doing and he loves what he does. Good combination. They were happy with how it turned out and we were happy with the finished job. Absolutely love it. Plan on spending lots of time in our front yard enjoying our new landscaped yard.

Tx befuddles me, especially the weather. I contacted Ken through Angie's List. He came to my home, listened to my concerns and made suggestions that fit my budget and goals. He identified all plants on my property, pointed out poison ivy and cost-effective means to treat it. Needless to say, Ken knows his business, is very personable, and really listens. He also provides on-the-mark suggestions. Which leads me to Charlie, who with another guy (forgive me, I don't recall his name) came to check my sprinkler system and set up. Charlie was wonderful, immediately identified problem sprinkler heads and flow problems and pipe leaks, asking prior which I wanted serviced. I said all and was really amazed that the total cost was so low. They repaired a major water leak, replaced sprinkler heads, repositioned another head and ensured all systems covered appropriate areas and that the automated system was set up properly. Everyone was very professional, courteous and kind."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/plano/village-green-reviews-2181867.htm"},"position":5},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Cheryl's Executive Cleaning Services","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"TX","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Zachary J."},"reviewBody":"I found Cheryl's House Cleaning on Angie's list about 2-3 months ago. Since then we have had her cleaning our house every two weeks. She is GREAT! Very upfront with expectations of what you can expect as a paying customer and very honest. She spends a full 6 hours working at my home to get it in perfect condition. Each time she comes to our home we can't wait to get home just to see what it looks like. You may not think that sounds real exciting, but my husband and I work full time and lots of extra hours as well as raising 2 little girls, 3 and 5, who LOVE messy art projects. :) Sometimes they like to brush the mirror with their toothbrushes which I am sure makes for a good scrub in the bathroom. We also live in the country so dust is always a big factor in our home and with our 3 yr old having asthma detailed cleaning is very important to us. Cheryl does a fantastic job cleaning our home and I would recommend her to anyone and will continue to use her myself. What a relief when you come home to a perfectly clean home that as my daughter says when she walks through the door, \"Wow, Mommy it smells so clean and look it is like a brand new home in here! I love it!\" I think my daughter says it best.....if you go with Cheryl, you won't go wrong. :)"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/mo/ozark/cheryl%27s-executive-cleaning-services-reviews-6201094.htm"},"position":6}]}

FAQs for home automation service projects in The Colony, TX
The difference between smart home and home automation technology is that home automation is a more comprehensive home control system. It requires more expertise and work to install and set up, but homeowners have greater control over the various areas and functions in the home via their smartphone. Smart home technology is generally easier to install and set up. But it typically needs an internet connection to work as intended, which can limit functionality if there’s a disruption in internet service.
Home automation systems offer a wide range of automation products and services. Some of the most popular options include:
Cameras: $35–$350
Door and window sensors: $20–$100
Doorbells: $100–$350
Locks: $150–$400
Garage door openers: $150–$500
Lighting: $20–$100
Speakers: $30–$300
Outlets and plugs: $20–$100
Thermostats: $150–$300
Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors: $50–$150
Smart home hubs: $200–$900
Blinds: $50–$75
Appliances: $50–$3,000
Vacuums: $200–$1,200
Lawn systems: $80–$300
Wi-Fi and Mesh systems: $200–$500
Water monitoring: $100–$1,000
Home automation can be worth it if you’re looking for ways to make everyday home operations more convenient and controllable from a single hub integrated with your smartphone. You can select the different features and services you want to automate, ranging from exterior cameras to thermostats, to make this investment worthwhile by only installing services that are relevant to your household’s lifestyle. Plus, home automation can improve home security and eliminate daily inconveniences.
An accredited, licensed smart home specialist should install your home automation system. For example, a qualified smart home specialist will belong to an organization like the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association. Licenses for qualified technicians require the technician to demonstrate experience and pass state testing. If you’re ready to install a home automation system, consult multiple technicians in your area to compare services and prices and find the best fit for your job.
The average cost of a home automation system is around $950, but typically ranges from $200 to $1,700, depending on the brand, system features, system size, home size, and location. The highest-end home automation systems can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $150,000, including smart appliances like refrigerators, dishwashers, and ovens that require installing extensive wiring. Any subscriptions for maintenance services will also impact the cost of a home automation system.
