Common Questions
Frequently Asked
How much does a typical project cost?
Projects range from $50K for focused single-room installations to $500K+ for whole-estate automation. During the Discovery Call, the firm provides honest guidance on budget alignment before any commitment.
How long does a full installation take?
New construction projects typically run 4–6 months from design to handover. Retrofit projects range from 2–8 weeks depending on scope. The firm coordinates with other trades to minimize disruption.
Do I need to be home during installation?
No. SilverGate coordinates with your estate manager, assistant, or household staff. Most clients spend zero time on-site during installation. A principal manages every detail.
Can I phase the project over time?
Absolutely. Many clients begin with core infrastructure (networking, lighting, climate) and add entertainment, security, and outdoor zones in subsequent phases. The initial design accounts for future expansion.
What happens if something breaks after installation?
Concierge Care clients receive priority response. Most issues are resolved remotely within hours. For on-site visits, a principal arrives within 24–48 hours for Chicago-area clients.
Do you work with my architect and builder?
Yes. SilverGate coordinates directly with architects, interior designers, builders, and electricians. The firm provides detailed drawings and specifications to ensure seamless integration with construction timelines.
