Who We Are

Buttonwood Communications was created by Brad Kersanske, who started the company with nothing more than a pickup truck, a toolbox, and the belief that technology should make life better, not more complicated. Over the years, Brad has transformed Buttonwood into a respected smart firm known for reliability, creativity, and a deep understanding of how people interact with their homes.

Brad remains closely involved in every aspect of the business, from design to installation to long-term service. His approach is simple: listen first, design carefully, and build solutions that feel natural, intuitive, and beautifully integrated.

Over fifteen years later, Buttonwood is proud to remain a founder-led company rooted in New England craftsmanship and personal service.

Our Philosophy

Technology should feel natural, effortless, and unobtrusive. Whether it’s lighting that shapes a mood, audio that fills your home, or a network that supports everything your family does, our work is guided by one principle:
Intelligent Technology, Inspired Design.

What We Do

We design and integrate systems that enhance how you live, relax, entertain, and secure your space. From architectural lighting and automated shades to high-performance Wi-Fi, home theaters, and security and fire alarm systems we bring every element together into one seamless experience.

Our Team

Founded in Boston and built on craftsmanship, Buttonwood’s team brings decades of field expertise to every project. Across engineering, programming, installation, and service, we are committed to quality, transparency, and long-term client care.
