What areas of Houston do you serve?

We serve luxury homeowners throughout the greater Houston metro, including River Oaks, Memorial, The Woodlands, Tanglewood, Sugar Land, Katy, and Bellaire. We also travel for large-scale projects across Texas and 12 states.

How long does a home automation installation take?

Timeline depends on scope. A new construction integration typically runs 4–8 weeks for rough-in and 2–4 weeks for trim-out and commissioning. A retrofit project in an existing home typically takes 2–6 weeks depending on complexity.

Do you work on new construction and existing homes?

Yes. We work on both new construction projects — where we can integrate the system from the ground up — and retrofit installations in existing luxury homes. New construction typically delivers better results at lower cost.

What control platform do you use?

We are an authorized Crestron dealer and specify Crestron for most luxury residential installations. Crestron is the gold standard for ultra-luxury homes, offering unmatched reliability, customization, and longevity.

Do you provide ongoing support after installation?

Yes. We offer ongoing service and support relationships that include remote monitoring, firmware updates, system changes, and on-site service. Most clients maintain an annual service agreement.

What does a luxury home automation system cost?

Investment varies significantly based on scope. Entry-level luxury systems typically start at $50,000. Full-estate integrations with dedicated home theater can range from $150,000 to $1,000,000+. We provide detailed proposals after a complimentary consultation.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer Crestron home automation installation in Houston?: Yes — Auman and Associates is an authorized Crestron dealer serving Houston, TX and the surrounding metro area, including River Oaks, Memorial, The Woodlands, Tanglewood, Sugar Land, and beyond. We design, program, and install complete Crestron Home OS 3 systems for new construction and retrofit projects.
What zip codes and neighborhoods do you serve in the Houston area?: Our primary service area covers Houston proper (including 77007, 77019, 77024, 77056) and extends throughout the greater Houston metro — The Woodlands, Sugar Land, Katy, Pearland, and Friendswood. We also serve clients statewide and across 12 states for large-scale luxury projects.
What does a luxury home theater installation include?: A full home theater installation from Auman and Associates typically includes acoustic room design, 4K or 8K projection or LED display, Dolby Atmos surround sound with in-ceiling and in-wall speakers, a dedicated media server (Kaleidescape), motorized seating, automated lighting scenes, and full Crestron control integration — all calibrated by our certified technicians.
How long does a smart home integration project take?: Project timelines vary by scope. A single-room automation or theater installation typically takes 1–2 weeks. Whole-home smart home integration for a new build or major renovation is typically planned over 4–12 weeks, coordinated with your builder or general contractor. We provide a detailed project schedule during the design phase.
Can you upgrade or reprogram an existing Crestron system?: Absolutely. We specialize in upgrading legacy Crestron systems to Crestron Home OS 3, replacing end-of-life processors (CP4R v1→v2), and migrating older AV distribution platforms (SWAMP24x8, MD8x8) to modern IP-based systems. We also retrain homeowners on updated interfaces and add new devices to existing systems.
What is the difference between home automation and smart home integration?: Smart home devices (smart bulbs, voice assistants, Wi-Fi thermostats) operate independently and are controlled through separate apps. Home automation — the kind Auman and Associates installs — unifies every system in your home (lighting, climate, security, AV, shading, locks) under a single, professionally programmed control platform like Crestron. The result is seamless, reliable automation that works without a phone in your hand.
