Called Aaron a few days ago to inquire about having our TV mounted, which we've had for a while and…read morewanted to finally get up to clean things up. He responded quickly, showed up on time (early actually), and was extremely knowledgeable. Once he arrived, I explained that I had been going back and forth for months between upgrading to a soundbar with a sub or investing in a full audio system (receiver, towers, sub, etc...). We spent well over 30 minutes talking through the pros and cons of each, along with important things to consider like the size of the house and living room. Ultimately, I decided that I will be upgrading our current soundbar to a newer and nicer one in the near future. He was extremely polite and patient, taking the time to explain terminology and concepts in a way I could easily understand as we installed and set things up (picture and display settings, 1080p vs. 4K capabilities, audio/video/HDMI cables and what they do, device "switches," and how everything works together) as he was installing things so I'll be able to manage it myself down the road. And he came with mounts and equipment that was better than what I bought and was cheaper as well. I highly recommend him and will definitely be calling him again in the future.

The kind of service that Alex and Bay Area Smart Home offer was above and beyond anything I expected. I can't recommend them enough.

When we remodeled our house in 2 phases we wanted to upgrade our A/V and wifi across our entire…read morehouse. Alex and his team were flexible and incredibly knowledgeable with A/V systems and with Sonos especially which was extremely valuable as that is ultimately what we opted for. In phase 1 of our remodel, the VSS team helped us update our wifi and establish Sonos across our 2 most populated rooms and our back patio. (Their flexibility and patience shined here as they did not push to expand into additional rooms yet because they knew we were planning a Phase 2 remodel) Because they did such a stellar job on the Phase 1 and because they were so professional, fast and flexible we reached out and asked them to add Sonos speakers across the entire house, plus 1 Sonos "Move" so we'd have another outdoor speaker we could place wherever we wanted in the back or front yard when entertaining guests. VSS gets 5+ stars from me because additionally as part of Phase 2 they also identified and FIXED a deficiency in the wifi setup that was mainly due to a wifi service upgrade after they had completed Phase 1. This improvement to the wifi was incredibly timely given my 3 kids were (still are) all home doing distance learning because of Covid-19. If you have A/V needs, these guys are the best. I highly recommend them and they have secured a lifetime customer in me for the high quality of their work, professionalism and customer service. Big thanks to Alex for his patience to work with us through both Phase 1 & 2 remodels, and special thanks to Andrew & Rob on the wifi fix during Phase 2. You guys are the best, THANK YOU!!

This level of service sets a high bar.
