I had been without a working TV for quite awhile, and Samsung was scheduled to come mid-afternoon today. I was really hoping to be able to watch the 49ers game at 5:00 PM. Josh dispatched Eric and his helper (his delightful and very capable spouse), and they stayed until after 6:30 PM on a Saturday night making sure everything was perfect. They didn't just mount the TV -- they handled all the moving parts: getting the Samsung and Xfinity remotes working correctly, restoring soundbar volume control, troubleshooting connection issues, and reconnecting my Apple TV. Eric's communication was excellent throughout the day and the whole experience was beyond my expectations. Afterward, I looked at their website and realized how many different services they offer -- and that's their edge. You're not hiring "two guys who can hang a TV." You're hiring people who actually know how to make the entire system work together. Before you go with the cheapest estimate, consider everything beyond just hanging it on the wall. This team is worth it. These are the people I'll call every time.

Their security camera systems are high quality and exactly what we needed and are dialed in positioned exactly where they need to be, with easy access from both our office and our cell phones. That level of setup and functionality makes a huge difference in day-to-day operations. That kind of reliability is hard to find. Good people, solid work, and dependable when it matters.

He also conducted himself professionally. I never got the sense he was trying to upsell unnecessary work. In fact, he provided reasonable options (e.g., buy cables and TV mounts from him, or he could install equipment I brought myself). Prices for his own equipment and cables were good. Going forward, I'll hire him again for more Ethernet networking and security camera installation work. I recommend him! Update 2025-12: I had Vince return for ethernet fixing and security camera installation and he did a phenomenal job. We discussed the different locations for the camera to determine their trade-offs. The whole time, I felt like he was prioritizing what would work for me rather than what was optimal for him. He was professional, friendly, flexible, and patient with great attention to detail. He did an amazing job installing the camera. Will definitely work with him in the future. I recommend him without reservation. He will be our go to for ethernet, TV mounting, home audio, and home security installation.

This is a follow-up to my earlier review noting how responsive Brian was to my request for a quote…read moreto replace my 8 existing SDI video surveillance cameras with new HD-TVI cameras. Yesterday afternoon Brian performed the work and I could not be happier with the outcome. The camera replacements were not as straight forward as I had described. I had used silicon sealant around the base plates of my existing cameras which made their removal a bit tougher. The new cameras, although more technically advanced, were a lesser build quality then the existing cameras which added a bit of effort to their installation as well as their having shorter connect cable lengths. And, to top things off, the ambient temperature at my home hit 114 degrees during the installation. Brian made no complaints about the work or its taking longer than either of us anticipated but even offered to help me with some connection problems I was having with my new DVR as well as offering to assist me with a problem I was having with the system's app. I was not about to add any more work to his visit. And, Brian is simply really a nice guy. Hire him, you can't go wrong!

Mike said his guys knew their stuff through their experience with all sorts of installs, but I think he should have also advertised their level of effort. I went over the plan with the guys assigned to the job - Matt and Robert. They helped me tweak it in line with their professional opinion, the reality of the install, and how hide the ethernet runs. To my surprised, they offered to and spent the extra time to create runs inside a smaller attic to mount two of the cameras to leave no visible wiring to the device. Check the pictures for a few of the installs. I've given the cameras a few days to soak test against high load and moderately toasty temperatures outside (Lower conductivity and high data traffic to challenge the install.). So far it has worked pretty darn good on the first go. Beyond the install, Mike and the team respected my decision to acquire and manage my own cameras, poe switches, and VMS. They didn't attempt at all to make any sales pitches but did offer to help me acquire cameras if I needed their assistance to do so. I appreciate all of this because I know doing this kind of work for a residential building doesn't provide the best returns for a business and many have stopped offering wired camera install services - including the low voltage installers for my home! On top of that, they do this at a very reasonable price.
