Smart Home Technology in West Los Angeles
From Cheviot Hills renovations to Sawtelle smart home upgrades — practical, design-conscious smart home systems for West LA's most active renovation market.
Premium Home Automation Services in West Los Angeles
West LA is one of the most active service areas we work in. Cheviot Hills, Beverlywood, Mar Vista, Sawtelle, and the Westwood-adjacent residential streets are all full of older single-family homes getting renovated for current owners. The smart home work tends to be practical, design-conscious, and right-sized — not the estate-scale work of Bel Air, but real systems that deliver on the homeowner's expectations.
Common architectural styles in West Los Angeles

West LA projects share a common thread: the renovation. Most homes here were built in the 1950s through 1970s, and the current wave of work is updating them for modern living. That means we're typically working alongside an architect or GC, and the earlier we're involved the better. Pre-wire planning, equipment locations, and lighting design done before drywall closes lead to dramatically better results than retrofitting after.
Projects we typically do in West Los Angeles
Cheviot Hills and Beverlywood family renovations
Cheviot Hills and Beverlywood are full of mid-century and traditional homes getting major renovations and additions for growing families. We're typically called in alongside the architect and GC to design Control4 or Savant systems, Lutron lighting, distributed audio, and integrated cameras and security.
Sawtelle and Mar Vista smart home upgrades
The Sawtelle and Mar Vista neighborhoods have a wave of older single-family homes getting modernized. Common scope: Control4 brain, Lutron lighting, key-room audio, smart cameras, and a real network upgrade. Budgets are typically more practical than Brentwood or Bel Air, and we size scope accordingly.
Pre-wire and technology planning for active renovations
West LA has one of the most active renovation markets in the city. We're often called in early — during plans or framing — to design conduit, equipment locations, and lighting layout before drywall closes. The result is a clean install with no surface-mounted conduit and no compromises later.

Why LA Techs in West Los Angeles?
We're a CEDIA member and authorized by Control4, Lutron, and Savant — and that matters. It means we've passed the training, we have direct manufacturer support, and we're accountable to a higher standard. We're not a generalist AV company doing smart home on the side. This is all we do, every day, throughout West Los Angeles and the rest of LA.
The full scope of what we cover: whole-home automation, home theater and distributed audio, cameras and security, networking and WiFi, lighting control, motorized shades, and climate automation. One team. One system. Everything works together — because we designed it that way from the start.
New build, gut renovation, or a targeted upgrade — we've done all three throughout West Los Angelesand the greater LA area. We work directly with your architect, GC, and interior designer. The wiring gets planned before the walls close, not after. That's how you end up with a clean install instead of surface-mounted conduit and regret. Schedule a consultation and let's figure out what your project actually needs.
"We bought a fixer in Cheviot Hills and brought LA Techs in during the framing phase. Everything got planned in — wire, lighting, audio, cameras. The end result is exactly the kind of clean install you can't get if you wait until after drywall."
— Felix and Mateo Brogan-Hall, West Los Angeles Resident
