Santa Clarita Homes and Business Parks

Santa Clarita is spread out, built mostly in recent decades, and full of two-story homes in planned communities. Nearly everything I would do here is shaped by that: newer stucco houses with large attics, long floor plans and a lot of people working from home.

Two stories, one router

The typical newer home here has the router downstairs, where the cable came in, and the bedrooms and office upstairs. The signal barely makes it. With roomy attics and straight walls, I can run wired access points to both floors. Often the work is quick compared with older houses, because I can walk across the attic and drop cable into each wall.

What the builder left behind

Some homes have structured wiring panels in the garage or a closet. I check whether the cable is real ethernet or coax, whether it is connected at both ends and whether it can be used. If it can, I save you running new cable. If it cannot, I tell you.

HOA communities

Many neighborhoods have HOA rules about exterior changes. I ask before mounting a camera on the front of the house, and I keep hardware at the eave line and cable out of sight. Most of the time a camera at the door and one on the garage are fine.

Home offices and media rooms

A dedicated wired line to the office, another to the TV and console, and a wired access point in the middle keep the main network free for phones and tablets.

Valencia and Newhall

Valencia’s business parks and the older storefronts in Newhall hold small offices, clinics and shops. I set up the network closet, wired desks and cameras on entrances. For a warehouse-style unit, I plan cable along the roof structure.

North on the 5

Santa Clarita is a good drive north of Van Nuys, up the 5 or the 14, so I schedule the walkthrough to cover the whole property in one trip. Write or call to start.
