The process to create a Control4 “Certified Showroom” is a several months process. The company has been working on this initial initiative for 9 months according to Brad Hintze, Control4’s Senior Director of Product Marketing. “This first group spent between $4 to $5 million in upgrades.”
Those upgrades included reworking lighting, installing high-end appliances, and custom seating.
