Ethernet, Wi-Fi & Camera Installation in Edmonds, WA

Edmonds view homes are wonderful and wiring-hostile: plaster walls, vaulted ceilings, detached garages, and decades of additions. We do the careful retrofit work these homes need, routing cable through the paths of least destruction and keeping any opening to wall-plate size.

From the Bowl to Perrinville and Meadowdale, we install Ethernet backbones, wired Wi-Fi, PoE cameras and smart lighting — tested and documented before we leave.

The Bowl and the streets around downtown have some of the older houses in the area, with plaster walls and additions from several decades. Plaster needs a gentler approach than drywall, so we plan routes through closets, attics and crawl spaces first and only cut where there's no alternative. A plaster wall can turn a two-hour run into a half-day, and we'll flag those runs during the walkthrough.

Westgate, Perrinville, Meadowdale and Five Corners are mostly mid-century and later homes, many on hillside lots with view-side living rooms, daylight basements and vaulted ceilings. Those layouts spread a house across levels, and a router near where the internet comes in rarely reaches the far side. Wired access points on each level fix it.

Detached garages, studios and ADUs are common here. We connect them with buried outdoor-rated cable or a point-to-point wireless bridge, depending on distance and whether trenching is practical, and once the link is in, cameras and Wi-Fi in the outbuilding ride on it. For longer runs, fiber is an option; our Cat6 vs Cat6A guide covers where copper runs out.

Data cabling inside a home doesn't need a permit anywhere in Washington. Electrical work — a new circuit to a detached studio, an EV charger, a panel upgrade — is permitted and inspected through the city or Washington L&I, whichever has jurisdiction, and we handle it. Any trenching for buried cable starts with a utility locate (811) before digging. Edmonds is served by Snohomish County PUD.
