We've used Elijah and his team twice now for our business and couldn't be happier. The first job was a bigger one -- 5 Lorex cameras wired 50+ feet through a drop ceiling, 3 speaker installs, a TV mount, and an iPad mounted into the wall. Everything was done neatly and exactly how we wanted it. A year later when we needed another camera added, he was the first person that came in mind to do the second job. He is easy to work with -- professional, communicates well, knows what he's doing, and gets it done right. Would recommend him to anyone needing electrical, wiring, or mounting work. read more

The service was excellent. The technician was on-time, professional and friendly. He removed an old mounted big screen from a wall mounted and installed a new one. In addition, he placed the old one on a tabletop mount kit so we could use it in our guest room. We will definitely use this service for any future needs. read more

We needed an update with our ethernet installation. Elijah did a wonderful job in setting up more space so that we can have better airflow, as well as helping us update our switch. We would definitely love to do business with him again and we strongly recommend his service. Thanks again, Elijah! read more

I had an amazing experience! I honestly had no clue what I was doing, but he was so patient, accommodating, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything step by step and made sure I felt comfortable and confident with each decision. You can tell he truly cares about helping people and knows his stuff. Would hire again. read more

Requested outdoor tv mount above fireplace on stone veneer. Service was quick. Mount is stable. Pricing was the best quote.

Elijah did an outstanding job with us installing a Samsung Frame Tv. He gave us excellent guidance on the cable management box for installation and took no offense when I second guessed him and we went with his recommendation in the end. He took the time to run through the set up of the system and download the xfinity stream app which allows us to return our cable box. All in all an excellent experience. read more

Elijah is a nice guy with a wealth of knowledge. Excellent communication from initial phone call to our in-person appointment. Being early stages for a home entertainment system he gave me a bunch of ideas and links to products. read more

Truth be told, I'd give this more than 5 stars if I could. Elijah was super responsive, answered all my questions, and helped set up our TVs with professionalism and ease. I highly recommend this business, and I'll definitely continue using their services in the future. Thanks, Elijah, for going above and beyond with your customer service. read more

Elijah is responsive and personable. He is very knowledgeable and the quality of his work is top notch. I had 3 main concerns that he fully resolved my home. He fixed a terrible job (TV/sound bar mounting) a previous contractor had done and spent time explaining the finer workings of my home theater system. His prices are reasonable too. Most definitely, I will hire him again. Look folks, I can go on and on and blah blah blah, but am sure you get the point. He is experienced and is a master of his craft. Give him a chance, he won't disappoint. He gave me excellent service! read more

Went above and beyond for fixing a fragile Ethernet situation. Answered all my questions. Highly recommend and will repeat service when there's an issue. read more

Awesome work. Does not make excuses for things he didn't know about. Very honest trustworthy and most importantly fair. Thank you for your service sir read more

Fantastic service. Highly recommend Make Places Smart. Booked on Yelp and Elijah was out within 3 days fixing my audio issues.

I highly recommend this business! He was on time and very friendly and professional, and went above and beyond on the projects even when encountering unexpected issues due to the existing setup not being done correctly by the previous installers. He did a perfect install and mount of our new Frame Tv and routed the wire through the wall for a totally clean look, mounted another tv, and replaced/fixed an issue with our Ring doorbell. Prices were very reasonable and in line with other quotes I received. Great service! read more

I used Elijah to diagnose and trouble shoot a problem with my older Denon AVR. He was prompt in setting up an appointment and came over on time. His diagnose confirmed what I had thought. He recommended several new alternative AVR models some less expensive but worth considering. I ended up buying an new Yamaha AVR and soft baton remote. He came over and installed and set up my system. Kind of complicated 7.1 with also whole house audio. I had an issue using my older Sony TV with the Y - AVR but he was able to fix and get it working without my getting a new TV. He is super nice, pleasant and easy to work with. I would highly recommend him for similar work on a home theater system or home audio system.. read more

I've used this business's services before. Recently called this place for some cable tv and tv apps questions. Left message to return my call to set up an appointment. They never did. I think the reason he ignored me this time was because he/they wanted for me to give their business a 5 Stars on Yelp for which I only gave 4 Stars. More businesses should compete with these guys so that they won't monopolize the industry. read more

Elijah is the best! He went above and beyond with the task of installing an outdoor security camera. Not only did he install it with ease, he was professional, caring and patient. He even came back a few days later with a doorbell and installed it at no charge. Just plain awesome! read more

Elijah does great work. Was on time, prepared, and did a great job giving advice on our tv height. Also had screws to assist in the install which i apparently had lost. Really appreciate his help. Highly recommended. read more

Elijah was extremely easy to work with, available quickly to get our 3 network drops put in without issues. Upfront with costs and expectations, extremely flexible with availability. Price was great, Elijah is hardworking and will use him again and refer him to any opportunity that come my way. Thanks Elijah for coming out so quickly to get the drops installed! Runs inside the walls, very professional! read more

We had a great experience with Make Places Smart! I reached out to a few people to give them an idea of our project and ask for some quotes. Elijah was the only one who I could tell read every part of my message and responded to each question. A few others (who shall remain unnamed) would only respond to one part of my message which meant that I had to then send multiple messages to ask the same questions over again. So, right off the bat - he was the easiest to communicate with and he also responded promptly each time. We had a two-part job. The first part of our project involved light switches that control five pocket lights in our living room. A few years ago, we had a different electrician put in three more lights on the other side of the room (we only had 2 lights before and they were only on one side of the room). At the time he told us it wasn't possible to get all five lights on the same switch and he busted open the wall and put in a second switch (without asking us where we'd like the switch). Much to my chagrin, he put it about 6 inches away from the other one leaving an odd gap in the middle, and to add insult to injury the switch on the left controlled the right side of the room and the switch on the right controlled the left side of the room. It drove everyone nuts, and the two switches didn't match at all and weren't lined up with each other. For three years, I've been upset every time I stared at that wall! So, I had initially asked Elijah if he would simply be able to move one switch over and swap them so they could at the very least sit on one single two-gang plate and at least be matching styles. But, he did ONE BETTER - he got all five of the lights on to the same switch which is what we wanted in the first place! The second part of our project involved mounting our TV onto the wall. The TV is large and heavy and awkward. Elijah told us which type of mount we should purchase in advance and then he swooped in and was able to mount it onto the wall and drop all the cables behind the wall in about an hour. Elijah was super easy to work with. He was able to schedule around our availability. And his rates were very reasonable and competitive. I would recommend him to anyone needing AV/Electrical/TV Mounting help! I'm really loving the way it looks and is all cleaned up and organized now and the single switch outcome is just the cherry on top that was a very welcome surprise. read more

Bought a $4k Samsung Frame 85" and thought I could mount it by myself, but when it arrived, I quickly knew I was in trouble... 100lbs and wider than I could hold! I jumped on Yelp to ask for quotes and these guys responded immediately and said they could do it for $150. 2 gentlemen showed up on time, were polite, smart, friendly and worked well together to assess the situation, measured accurately, and completed a complex installation without mistake. As a perfectionist, I highly recommend them! I insisted to pay them $200... well worth it. read more

My wife and I were preparing to move into a home in Lincoln Hills and needed to have our Dolby Atmos system replicated from our Elk Grove home we are leaving. i called Elijah and he was able to quote me a very reasonable rate over the phone and made an appointment for the install. He arrived on time and ready to go. He is very pleasant and personable, and really knows his craft. There were a couple of issues with the install, (not on his part) which he quickly came up with a remedy and worked through it to perfection. He also gave us a great deal on 3 ceiling fan/light installs which he took care of same day. One of the fans was missing a part, and he gladly came back once I had it to polish off the job. Very smart and talented. We highly recommend Elijah for all your technical installs and needs. I will call him again for sure. read more

We recently moved to Sacramento,. Our sound system was packed without labeling the cords, that happens. We chose Elijah and we are so happy with his work. He figured out how to put our system together even better than it had been before. He completed the work,quickly, efficiently and kindly. He helped us also get our PC and TV up and operating in about two hours. We will certainly hire Elijah again. read more

Elijah was very friendly and helpful as well skilled when installing & integrating the components for ease of use.

He responded quickly, was able to come to my home right away, handled the questions well, and came up with what needed to be done! My wifi set up was partially down, and my Sonos was not showing up on the wifi. The setup was as he discovered password protected, which I did not know, and had an extra component to it that wasn't clear. I got him with the person who had the password, and he figured it out in a short time and it is now fixed. Very smart, professional and so nice to work with. I will only use Elijah going forward. Highly recommend. read more

Elijah is the best! He's super professional, knowledgeable, and punctual! He's your low voltage guy! I would definitely want to work with him again in the future. He installed our coax cable and cat5E wires. His pricing is very reasonable as well. Thanks Elijah! read more

Elijah was beyond wonderful. Trustworthy, honest and practical. He installed 4 Bluetooth speakers and an amp on our back patio. He also gave me an exterior outlet on the wall so I could plug things in and lastly installed a ceiling fan light combo for the warm Sac summers. He gave me the items to buy on Amazon and was here in just a day or two to install. He taught me how to use everything after as well. I would highly recommend his services and will be using him again for an exterior TV on our back patio. read more

Make Places Smart - Mounted my tv on the stone with no real issues, even did the sound bar for me. - Home Theatre Installation Near Me - sacramento, California

Used for tv and sound bar mount. Great work at reasonable price. Also was flexible with existing mounts to position tv accordingly

Incredibly knowledgeable, professional, efficient and timely. Mounted my TV flawlessly and very quickly. Thank you so much for your service!

I am so happy with the work Elijah did! Look no further if you are looking for professional service and a professional job. I messaged him at noon on a Saturday and he was at our house within a couple of hours. His price was also very competitive. He is so friendly and very knowledgeable. I'm glad we went with him because he was lightning fast. It took him 45mins to have our 75" tv up and mounted while I'm sure it would have taken my husband a couple of hours (lol). We will definitely be using him again for other tv mounts throughout the house. read more
