Home, Technology, & Systems Advisory
Helping people make smart decisions about their homes and technology - without overwhelm.
Our Role:
Home Technology & Systems Advisory
When projects, upgrades, or technology start to feel confusing or risky, I step in to analyze the situation, explain what actually matters, and help you move forward with confidence.
This is advisory work — not pressure, not upselling, and not guesswork.
What I Do
" I help people decide before they spend."
That includes decisions about:
-
technology and digital safety
-
home projects and upgrades
-
layouts, accessories, and functional design choices
-
systems that affect daily life and work
Instead of reacting later, we slow things down, look at the whole picture, and make informed choices.

Catio, Trim, Cabinetry & More!
Jeff Yates owner of Dynamo Contracting has performed several projects at my home. He built and designed a custom screened in porch/ Catio for me and my cats, painted the exterior of my home and added custom trim to the exterior windows, installed electrical fixtures outside and in, refinished cabinetry and is on my schedule to perform additional work.
After interviewing multiple contractors, I was fortunate enough to find Jeff who not only is knowledgeable and professional but in addition has the patience of Job dealing with clients.
He has always kept me informed and has been extremely helpful guiding me through difficult decisions. His quality of work is impressive and I have had so many compliments on his work! I highly recommend him and would have no reservations recommending him to friends and family.

Work & Experience
My approach is calm, honest, and practical.
I don’t sell fear.
I don’t chase trends.
I don’t recommend work that isn’t necessary.
If something doesn’t make sense, I explain it.
If something isn’t worth doing, I say so.
