Smart Home Excellence, Built on Precision and Care

Our people, process, and technology define who we are.
We take pride in delivering award-winning smart home systems backed by exceptional client care and a commitment to continuous innovation

Who We Are

Graytek was founded in 2003 by James and Caroline Gray, combining deep expertise in technology, construction, and business leadership. Together, they built a company rooted in integrity, delivering smart home solutions with precision and care.

From day one, we’ve prioritized quality—earning a reputation for handling some of the most complex luxury projects across Vancouver, North Vancouver, and the surrounding regions. Today, our team works out of a 5,000 square-foot Design and Production Centre and includes over fourteen specialists in design, production, and programming.

Graytek is proud to hold more than 20 CEDIA awards and is recognized across North America for best-in-class smart home projects. We are a premier dealer for Lutron, Crestron, and Control4—bringing the industry's top technologies together to create high-performance, fully integrated systems for luxury homes.

Client care is at the heart of our business. Our dedicated 24/7/365 service team blends industry-leading software with proven processes and exceptional people to ensure your technology works exactly as it should—always.

We also invest in our team through the Graytek Training Academy (GTA)—an in-house initiative that fosters continuous growth, technical leadership, and professional development.
