How to read them

Every case study opens with the short version and an at-a-glance strip: town, project type, timeline, systems, investment range. Then the story in four parts, a system overview table, photos, and the questions that project raised. Find the one closest to your house and you will know what to ask us.

More coming

We are writing up Grosse Pointe, Franklin, Orchard Lake and Canton projects next, and adding video to the theaters. If you are a client who would like your project told, with no name attached, we would love to.

Questions about the case studies

Why publish case studies?

Because the decisions matter more than the photos. Each one walks through the room, the problem, what we chose and why, the timeline, and an honest investment range, so you can find the project closest to yours.

Are these real client homes?

Yes, every one. We never publish client names. Towns, project types and the technology are real.

Can I see a project in person?

Sometimes. Several clients are happy to host a visit for a serious prospect, and a few of these systems live in Jonathon’s own home. Ask when you book.
