Andrew and his teammate were knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. They made it easy to finally get my theater setup the way I intended. In 4 hours I had my 85” TVmounted and my 5.2 theater wired into the walls. I would definitely hire them again!

Don’t you love it when you tell someone what you need and want and they do it exactly as asked (or maybe better)? Andrew came out to look at the job, listened to what I wanted, gave me his professional advice and got right back to me with his estimate. Everything was ordered and installed perfectly within days. He installed/hung our tv, hooked up our receiver and existing ceiling speakers, ordered and hooked up center and side speakers and programmed everything. Great value, service and professionalism. We’ll definitely use him for any future projects and refer him to any family or friends.
Details: TV • Not sure, need professional's help to decide location • Receiver • Speakers • In-wall speakers • Yes, I need to conceal wires/cables • Drywall • No, I will need the professional to purchase the equipment • Residential

Certificates for Crestron, Lutron programming.

I started out in this field as a contractor for Cox. After that I was a Lighting Programmer, then worked for a few AV companies in Scottsdale AZ. Now I have started my own business.
