Why Structured Wiring


Every System. One Visit. Before the Walls Close.

Structured wiring is the most practical investment you can make before a renovation finishes or a new build closes. One planned rough-in covers every low-voltage system in the home: Cat6/Cat6A data network cabling, hardwired Wi-Fi access points, multi-room audio, security cameras, outdoor speakers, and smart home control pre-wire. All of it terminates at a central rack or panel, labelled, tested, and organized so future changes are clean and fast without touching the walls again.

The alternative costs more, looks worse, and limits what’s actually possible. A surface-mounted camera cable, a wireless mesh node on a shelf, a speaker wire along a baseboard: these are the symptoms of wiring that wasn’t planned when the opportunity was there. Structured pre-wire eliminates all of them at the source.

Why Home Office Wiring Matters More Than Most People Expect

Many homes across Stonehaven, Glenway Estates, and Summerhill Estates have finished basements or second-floor offices used daily for remote or hybrid work. A wired Ethernet drop to your desk is the most reliable upgrade you can make. Video calls stay stable, uploads don’t stutter, and your work performance stops depending on Wi-Fi signal conditions between floors.

  • Dedicated Cat6 desk drop with no shared bandwidth from the rest of the house
  • VoIP phone and printer connectivity wired alongside the main data drop
  • Wired ceiling access point for stable laptop and mobile coverage in the same space
  • Isolated VLAN for work devices to keep business traffic separate from home use
  • Rack-mounted UPS option to keep the network live through power fluctuations
  • Clean, hidden routing throughout — no cables across doorframes or along baseboards

Network & Data Cabling

Cat6/Cat6A home runs to every endpoint that matters: desks, TV zones, equipment closet, access point drops. Each device gets a direct, stable connection with no interference from shared wireless congestion.

Wired Wi-Fi Access Points

Ceiling Cat6 drops for UniFi or Eero APs on each floor, hardwired backhaul, no wireless hops. Coverage planned from the floor plan so every room performs consistently, not just the rooms nearest the router.

Multi-Zone Audio Pre-Wire

Speaker wire to in-ceiling and in-wall locations for indoor and outdoor audio. As a Sonos Gold Dealer, we plan the rough-in so zones are ready to equip on your schedule, without opening any walls later.

Security Camera & Doorbell Wiring

PoE camera drops, doorbell cabling, and NVR routing built into the rough-in so installs are clean. Adding a camera later is a port assignment at the switch, not a new wall run through finished rooms.

Outdoor Audio Pre-Wire

Deck, patio, and soffit speaker wire runs hidden during the build rather than surface-mounted after the fact. Outdoor entertainment that looks deliberate and permanent from day one.

Smart Home & Automation Wiring

Pre-wire for Control4 automation, motorized blinds, intercom, and doorbell systems so control points land exactly where they’re needed rather than where a retrofit forced them.

Professional Networking Services


Network Wiring, Managed Switching & Wi-Fi Access Points

Pulling cable is only the first half. The second half is active equipment: managed switches, access points, and rack infrastructure that determines how well your physical network performs under real load. SetupTeam handles the complete scope. We supply, install, and configure the full stack so you receive a working, tested network, not a wired shell handed off to someone else.

Patch Panel & Managed PoE Switch

All Cat6/Cat6A home runs terminate at a central patch panel. A managed PoE switch powers access points and cameras from the same cabling infrastructure with clean labelling and organized routing throughout.

UniFi & Eero Access Point Setup

AP placement is designed from your floor plan with hardwired ceiling drops on each level. SSIDs, VLANs, and seamless roaming are configured before we leave so you stay connected moving between rooms.

Camera & NVR Integration

PoE camera drops connect to dedicated switch ports. NVR is rack-mounted and integrated into the network, organized and labelled so future camera additions require no new cabling runs.

VLAN & Traffic Segmentation

Work devices, smart home gear, cameras, and guest access separated on distinct VLANs. Your main network stays clean and fast regardless of how many IoT devices or kids’ devices are connected simultaneously.

Rack Build & Cable Organization

Patch panel, switch, NVR, and audio gear organized and labelled from top to bottom. Every connection documented and serviceable by any technician in the future, not just the one who installed it.

Outdoor & Garage Connectivity

Hardwired outdoor-rated APs extend coverage to garages, backyards, and covered patios. Consistent signal to every corner of the property, not just wherever the exterior walls happen to stop.

Wiring for the Way These Homes Are Used Today

The established neighbourhoods across Stonehaven, Glenway Estates, Summerhill Estates, Armitage, and the Fairy Lake area are home to a high concentration of residents who shifted to hybrid or full remote work and haven’t looked back. These are 2,000 to 3,500 sq ft two-storey detached homes with finished basements, and most were wired for a world where one computer sat in a spare room. That’s not how they function today.

One household might have two people working from separate offices, children remote learning, 4K streaming on multiple TVs, security cameras, a smart doorbell, and a smart thermostat running simultaneously on infrastructure that was never designed for it. A retrofit structured wiring job changes all of that. New Cat6 home runs, hardwired access points on each floor, and a centralized rack bring the home’s physical infrastructure in line with how it’s actually being used.

Established Areas — Retrofit Accessible

Homes in Glenway, Stonehaven, and Summerhill Estates typically have accessible attic space and utility routing options that allow clean retrofit cable runs across multiple floors. We assess routing before quoting so you know what’s involved before any work starts.

Newer Infill — Pre-Wire While Walls Are Open

Newer construction in Armitage and along the Davis Drive and Leslie Street corridors may still have renovation windows available. Pre-wiring before drywall closes is always the most cost-effective path, and that window doesn’t stay open long once construction moves forward.

How It Works


From Site Review to Tested, Live Network

Every project starts with a clear picture of the property, the systems you want wired, and where everything will terminate. We work across pre-construction, active renovations, and finished retrofits, adapting the routing approach to what the property allows without compromising the finish.

01

Site Review & Drop Mapping

Floor plan review or on-site walkthrough. Drops planned for data, APs, TV zones, cameras, doorbell, audio zones, outdoor speakers, and home office endpoints. Rack location and routing confirmed before any cable is pulled.

02

Rough-In with Clean Routing

Cables pulled to a central termination point using attic access, utility chases, and planned wall pathways. Retrofit routing minimizes wall cuts. Pre-construction timing coordinates with your renovation schedule.

03

Termination, Config & Testing

Every run terminated, labelled at both ends, and tested. Active equipment installed and configured. Network live and verified before we leave. You receive a documented, working system, not a handoff to sort out.

Common Questions


Network Installation FAQs

Questions we hear regularly from homeowners and businesses across South Simcoe and York Region.

Fast internet at the router doesn’t guarantee stable speeds at your desk, especially when your device connects over Wi-Fi through two floors and a finished ceiling. Every wireless hop between your device and the router adds latency and reduces available bandwidth. A dedicated wired Ethernet drop to your desk removes all of that. Calls stay stable because the connection no longer depends on signal conditions inside finished walls.
Yes. Retrofit runs in finished homes are possible in most cases depending on construction type, ceiling materials, and where utilities run. We plan the routing before pulling any cable to minimize wall cuts and keep the finish clean. In most two-storey homes a desk drop to a finished basement or upper-floor office can be completed with minimal disruption.
“Mostly works” describes wireless backhaul exactly. Mesh nodes without a wired connection share their radio for both client traffic and backhaul, so coverage looks good on paper but degrades under real household use. Structured wiring with hardwired access points on each floor converts that mesh into a fully wired backhaul system. Performance becomes consistent and reliable rather than dependent on conditions between floors.
We route through existing attic access, utility chases, and wall cavities where possible, keeping drywall cuts minimal and patching cleanly where unavoidable. The approach depends on your construction type, insulation, and where runs need to terminate. We review routing options before quoting so you know what to expect before any work begins.
Retrofit pricing depends on routing complexity: how far the run is, what’s in the way, and whether the equipment area can accommodate the termination. Single-room retrofits and whole-home pre-wires are priced differently. Share your property type and what you need wired and we’ll give you a precise number based on actual scope rather than a general range that may not reflect your home.
Yes. A home office rough-in typically includes multiple drops at the desk: one for the workstation, one for a VoIP phone, and one for a printer or secondary device. Each gets its own dedicated port at the switch, which keeps traffic clean and avoids the performance issues from a shared consumer switch or daisy-chained setup.
Yes. We run speaker wire to planned ceiling and wall locations during the rough-in so the infrastructure is in place when you’re ready to equip it. As a Sonos Gold Dealer we plan zones that can activate on your own schedule. Outdoor deck and garage locations can be included in the same visit without any additional wall work later.
Yes. Homes in established neighbourhoods are generally well-suited for retrofit wiring, with two-storey construction and attic access options that allow clean cable routing across floors. Older construction sometimes needs more routing planning, but it rarely prevents a clean outcome. We assess access before quoting so you have a clear picture upfront.
Homes from that period typically have Cat5e at best, which handles 1Gbps over shorter distances but wasn’t designed for today’s device density or bandwidth demands. We install Cat6 or Cat6A for all new runs. Cat6 supports 10Gbps up to 55 metres and is the practical standard for residential use today. Cat6A extends that to 100 metres and is the better choice for longer runs or future-proofing against higher-speed ISP services.
A pre-wire in an open-wall renovation for a home around that size typically requires one full day for rough-in, followed by a second visit for termination, labelling, and testing after walls close. Retrofits in finished homes take longer depending on routing access. Projects with additional systems, cameras, outdoor audio, and smart home pre-wire add scope accordingly. We provide a realistic timeline at the quoting stage based on your layout.
