Sharif is the best in the biz. I hired him to work on a home for a client. We needed 6 humongous TV's mounted and programmed, sound bars, ring alarm, gates and door locks, as well as hiding a million wires left out by the contractor. We ended up having to replace the internet, he helped with that as well...Sharif worked within the budget, we were in a a super time crunch and he made it happen. Didn't matter how many trips out or days needed to get the job done, he did it. Thank you Sharif! read more

The most unprofessional company I ever had to deal with. Sharif installed a $5000 cameras system at our hoa in Pasadena, now we need his support because one of his machine not working but he doesn't respond to our texts and calls. Please do not use this company if you want to avoid financial and time lost. read more

I hate to be the guy that writes a review of a service he didn't actually receive, but he needs this feedback and others need to be wary. I called Sharif and explained the job which involved mounting a TV, installing surround speakers, re-wiring cable. He scheduled a time to come to my house and showed up promptly, there's your 2 stars buddy. We went through everything and identified an issue with access to the attic. The opening needed to be bigger which I discussed having my handyman do, no problem. He even offered to re-route the cable access through the exterior wall to the attic which was great and something I didn't request. He gave me his business card and got my email address and said he would give me a quote tomorrow (Friday). Awesome, just what you want to hear. Except Friday comes and nothing. Ok, no biggie. It's a holiday weekend so on Tuesday after not hearing anything I call and leave a message and send him an email. NO RESPONSES TO EITHER!!! What happened Sharif??? Why did you waste my f'king time?! read more

Absolute genius! Nothing stumps this company. Sharif did all the set up of my home. They program all your remotes from A to Z. Everything works perfectly and sounds great. I trusted them with the advice for the right equipment. He helped me buy a new Yamaha amp. He integrated my Nintendo Wii, blue ray, cable box, Apple TV, security cameras, etc all into one remote. I have speakers in all rooms of my home and he has helped integrate those into my iPhone as well. Prices are extremely fair. I can easily say this is one of the BEST companies I've ever done business with. I really do appreciate everything. Next time I move, I will have them wire my home as well. read more

Sharif wired our whole house & property for security, internet & audio. Everything works great and he's very receptive & responsive to questions. The guys that work for him are great too. Aside from doing great work everyone I've encountered at the company are really nice. read more

My wife and I hired Sharif Jackson, the sole proprietor of Media Wiring Solutions, to serve as our "low voltage" contractor for the remodel of our home. We had him install camera, entertainment and lighting-switch systems for us. The lighting system involved the installation of numerous multi-button switches. Each must be programmed. Some of the buttons Sharif programmed work properly. Others don't. Sharif recommended that we purchase a particular security camera system, but after we purchased it he could not figure out how to get it fully functioning. Our entertainment system includes Apple TV, which Sharif installed. To operate it we found it necessary to first unplug and reconnect the device's power cord. So Sharif's work was shoddy and flawed across multiple installations. Aside from the defective installations, the mere act of working with Sharif was both difficult and frustrating. This is because he would often schedule dates to perform work for us that he would not keep. Worst of all, we made the mistake of paying Sharif in advance for work that had not yet been performed. (We had still expected him to resolve the earlier described installation defects). After we paid Sharif last October (2014) he cut off all communication with us and abandoned the job. Since then he has not returned any of my phone calls, e-mails, text-messages or correspondence sent by US mail. Too late, I discovered that the Web Site, Business Consumer Alliance rates Media Wiring Solutions an "F." The web site defines what that rating means. Here's the link: http://www.businessconsumeralliance.org/report/media-wiring-solutions-100081442 While it might be possible to excuse poor workmanship, the same cannot be said for a lack of integrity or character in the person you're hiring. If you're looking for a low-voltage contractor and are thinking of hiring Sharif' Jackson's Media Wiring Solutions, I urge you to keep looking. read more

We cannot speak highly enough about our experience with Sharif. His work was excellent and he is very honest and trustworthy. We had a very difficult install because our tv was not working properly with the receiver that I bought - still Sharif came back 3 times to make sure that our system worked as we wanted it to - the last time, he even went to buy a receiver that he knew would work. When I offered to pay him for his extra time, he refused the payment and said that he just wanted to make sure that we were satisfied. WE ARE! He also gave me great advice about what components to buy to get the functionality that I wanted (which included speakers throughout the house and yard and wireless controls). We'd hire Sharif again in a second! read more

If your looking for a company that believes in customer satisfaction and REAL work ethic...then Sharif is the guy. I have been using Media Wiring for the past 3 years and I can not rate Sharif high enough. He goes above and beyond the normal duties of an AV company with out even asking for payment on half of the stuff he does here. We are a large home with 19 direct TV receivers, Sirius in every room, sonance panels and remotes. He definitely knows his stuff. I do not know what I would do with out him. Prices are amazing, knowledgeable, courteous, trust worthy, strong work ethic and dependable. Thanks Sharif for all you do here!! read more

Sharif is a true professional! My appointment was at 9am, he arrived on time and willing to resolve my media/audio issues. My system, mainly the one on the patio, hasn't worked in awhile. Sharif analyzed the problem and fixed it! Now I can relax in my house and outside patio area with good audio sound! His professionalism and skill level is second to none! He also analyzed my system and advised me of what I need to maintain my "old" system for a long time. Thanks Sharif! PS-Being a female, at times I find that repair companies always try to overcharge and suggest I buy things I don't need, which makes me guarded! Sharif was a "true" professional with a moral compass! A rarity! The experience was pleasant. read more

Referred by an accomplished interior designer, expectations were set extremely high and Sharif far exceeded even those high standards! He was professional, punctual, cost effective, and most importantly delivered high quality work in wiring and mounting my 75" 4K TV and sound system. He truly went above and beyond and was a perfectionist in ensuring that I was 110% satisfied given that there were areas I felt were fine but he felt could be better and spent additional time ensuring everything was perfect which I greatly appreciated! The work speaks for itself but the customer service is what separates him from all others regardless of the industry...true best in class! Months after the install, I had an issue with my cable box that the cable company was unable to address and Sharif even spent time on the phone with me troubleshooting and fixing the issue! Highly recommend Sharif and Media Wiring Solutions! read more

I hired Sharif and his team to assist with deciphering some CAT5 wiring at a building my client purchased. As a fellow consultant, I appreciate Sharif's approach to solving to root problem, and quickly taking care of the problem. We are using ethernet and PoE on the runs, so ensuring every single strand was connected and terminated correctly was a must. Media Wiring Solutions fixed our problem right up, and we are online now, because of Sharif and his team! Thank you Media Wiring Solutions! read more

We recently moved into our apartment in Pasadena, and we had retained Media Wiring Solutions to wall mount 2 tv's, connect all the various devices, with hidden wiring. Prior to the date of our job, Sharif spent time on the phone with me, recommending certain devices I was interested in and also helped us arrange to coincide their arrival with the cable installer. They arrived exactly on time, did their job to perfection, spread drop cloths wherever they worked to protect the floors, and not only does everything work perfectly and look beautiful, even one headphone set that never worked properly before, now also works perfectly. And in addition to doing absolutely perfect work, and strictly adhering to the agreed price, Sharif and his asst. were an absolute pleasure to spend a few hours with. The beautiful photos on their website are a totally accurate depiction of the quality of their work. If you need work of this kind, do yourself a favor....hire them. read more

Reasonable price, skillful and knowledgeable. Its nice to work with a company that does what they say and more! Sharif and his team did an excellent job with mounting our TV above our fireplace, installing our surround sound system, mounting a 2nd TV, programming our universal remote and adding ipod docks throughout our house. I highly recommend his work. They also fixed some wiring problems another contractor and last home theater company couldn't. read more

Previous reviews have been right on point. This company does excellent work. They hung a flat screen tv and concealed the wires. I was very pleased with their professionalism and the work. They also helped clean up some work from a previous AV contractor (who I saw garnered only 21/2 stars on Yelp!). The owner, Sharif, is very knowledgable and very skilled at solving problems. I thought the prices were reasonable for the work completed. I highly recommend this company and would use them again. read more
