The Restrepo Group
A network of integrators. A portfolio of technologies.
The Restrepo Group is two things. A peer network of trusted integration firms who share engineering, resources, and expertise across regions. And a vetted portfolio of technology partners whose platforms we know at the engineering level. Both exist for the same reason: to deliver one standard wherever the project is.
The Network
Six firms. One standard.
No single integrator can be everywhere a luxury client needs them. The Restrepo Group is a peer network of trusted Crestron firms who share engineering, resources, and expertise so that a homeowner with addresses across multiple regions gets the same standard at every one of them. We work together. We help each other on bigger projects. We refer back and forth. When a Restrepo client buys a second home in the Caribbean, the Plains, or the Mid-South, the Group answers the phone.
The relationships behind these firms span years and shared work. The Group makes that infrastructure visible to clients and to the trade.

Trade Partners
The electrical and build team.
Engineering-led integration only works when the trades around it are at the same standard. Restrepo collaborates with licensed firms whose work the engineering relies on: a Bergen County custom-home builder who frames the structure with low-voltage and lighting designed in from day one, and licensed electrical contractors whose line-voltage work runs in lockstep with our rack and control specs across NJ, NY, and CT. One coordinated build, regardless of jurisdiction.

Vetted at the engineering level.
The Restrepo Group does not carry every brand on the market. We maintain relationships with a focused set of technology partners whose platforms we understand at the code, calibration, and commissioning level. Every partner in our portfolio has been evaluated against four criteria:
Reliability
Does it run without intervention? Can it be monitored and managed remotely?
Design Integrity
Does the hardware disappear? Does it respect the architecture?
Integration Depth
Does it work within a multi-brand ecosystem? Can we program it fully?
Long-Term Support
Is it maintainable? Will it receive firmware and software support for years?
We design and support complete technology environments built for long-term performance.
