Motorized shades, or in this case, drapes.⁠
⁠
A simple feature that can completely change a home.⁠
⁠
Scheduled to adjust throughout the day, they bring in natural light when you want it and create privacy when you need it, all while keeping the space clean and intentional. ⁠
⁠
No more manually adjusting the drapes.⁠

5 Reasons You Should Always Install Tech Into A New Build ↓⁠
⁠
1. Cost efficiency → Running wiring before drywall is significantly easier and more cost-effective than retrofitting later.⁠
⁠
2. Better performance → Pre-wiring for AV and networking to shades creates a stronger, more reliable system throughout the home.⁠
⁠
3. Clean design → No visible wires, no clutter. Everything is built in and intentional.⁠
⁠
4. Seamless integration → Lighting, audio, video, and security all work together from day one.⁠
⁠
5. Future-ready → With the right infrastructure in place, your home can adapt as technology evolves.⁠

What’s work without a little fun?⁠
⁠
Every quarter, we take a day to step away from our projects and come together as a team. It’s a mix of learning, giving back, and making time to enjoy the people we work alongside every day. We call it Lelch Day.⁠
⁠
This quarter, we had the opportunity to take the team out to a Minnesota Twins game against the Mariners.⁠
⁠
At Lelch, we believe in building more than just great projects. We want to invest in our team, create meaningful experiences, and stay connected to the communities we’re part of.⁠
⁠
It’s something we look forward to every quarter.⁠⁠⁠⁠

Lighting is about layering, control, and knowing how a space needs to function throughout the day.⁠
⁠
The same room can feel completely different depending on how the lighting is designed and used.⁠

We’re ready for summer in this beautiful home⁠
⁠
Natural light moves effortlessly through the space during the day.⁠
As the evening settles in, layered lighting takes over, adding a more intimate atmosphere throughout the home.⁠
⁠
A seamless transition from day to night, designed to feel as good as it looks.⁠⁠⁠⁠

This is why our AV projects can take up to two years ↓⁠
⁠
In larger custom homes, AV is part of the construction process from day one.⁠
⁠
It starts in pre-construction, coordinating with architects and builders to define system layout, wiring paths, and head-end locations.⁠
⁠
During framing, everything is pre-wired using a home run approach. Running audio, video, and network infrastructure throughout the entire home before drywall.⁠
⁠
From there, it’s phased. Infrastructure gets installed, finishes go in, and then equipment is brought online once the space is ready.⁠
⁠
The final step is programming and calibration — integrating control systems, tuning audio, and making sure everything performs as intended.⁠
⁠
A well-designed AV system is built into the home.⁠⁠⁠⁠

Deciding between a home theater or media room? Read this…⁠
⁠
Most people picture a custom theater room. A dedicated space for movie nights, fully immersive and built for that cinematic experience.⁠
And for a long time, that was the standard.⁠
⁠
High-tech theaters with surround sound and projectors became a staple in luxury homes. But the way people live has changed.⁠
⁠
Today, many homeowners are leaning toward more flexible, multipurpose media rooms. Spaces with natural light, blackout shades, and setups that work for more than just movies.⁠
⁠
Something you can use every day, not just once in a while.⁠
⁠
At Lelch, we design both, focusing on how the space will actually be used, not just the technology inside it.⁠

To us, the most important feature in a home is lighting.⁠
⁠
Lighting shapes how your home feels. Bright light helps you work, cook, and stay productive. Soft, dimmed light helps you unwind after a long day.⁠
It sets the mood for movie nights, dinner parties, and quiet evenings at home.⁠
⁠
Great lighting should never be an afterthought. It should be an experience.⁠
⁠
That’s why we partner with integrators like to create lighting and automated shading systems that adapt to your lifestyle and enhance natural light throughout the day.⁠

The art of the [process]⁠

Come with us on a recent walkthrough to see a sneak peak of a new custom home we’ve been working on! ⁠

A dedicated AV closet is the backbone of a well-designed smart home.⁠
⁠
It’s where all of your home’s technology lives together in one protected, ventilated space, keeping everything running smoothly.⁠
⁠
This is where the wiring for your:⁠
⁠
• cameras⁠
• lighting control⁠
• televisions⁠
• speakers⁠
• gaming systems⁠
• security⁠
⁠
all comes together behind the scenes.⁠
⁠
Beyond protecting your equipment, an AV closet keeps technology out of sight, allowing the home’s design to stay clean, intentional, and uninterrupted.⁠
