Smart devices work far better on real wire than on borrowed Wi-Fi. OSB does the neutral wires, the CAT6 runs and the switch layout that make a Walpole smart home reliable instead of frustrating.
“Sparking outlet in the nursery. They came out the same evening, replaced it, and checked every other outlet on that circuit for free.”
“Fan on a vaulted ceiling that two handymen said couldn't be done. Right downrod, right box, level and silent.”
“Our panel was original to the house and completely full. OSB upgraded us to 200 amp, pulled the permit, met the inspector, and left the basement cleaner than they found it.”
Nine times out of ten there's no neutral conductor in the switch box — common in older Walpole homes. We either pull a neutral or fit a switch designed to run without one.
Yes. CAT6, coax and low-voltage runs are part of most smart home jobs we do.
We install hardwired cameras, PoE runs, and doorbell transformers sized for modern video units.
For anything that must not drop — cameras, access points, hubs — wired wins every time. Wireless is fine for lamps and sensors.
That's the ideal moment. Open walls make structured wiring dramatically cheaper, so call before the drywall goes up.
