Frank did two jobs at my house today. One was to install a new coaxial outlet in a closet; this was a bit tricky since it meant coming up through the basement floor. He figured out how it should be wired and completed it successfully. He also installed a Nest outdoor camera on the exterior of my garage, which required drilling through stucco and running the camera wire to the power source.
I was very impressed with his work. Frank is knowledgeable and creative with his solutions. He verified that everything was working and cleaned up before he left. I'd hire him again for any wiring job I had!

This was a great experience - turned around my wiring installation in less than a day. Extremely professional, high quality work, and had all the right tools even though the job was a little difficult due to the age of the property.

Frank was quick to respond, flexible and the final results were as expected. He is knowledgeable about mounting and was able to address our messy situation with sub-par electrical access and missing mounting bracket parts. We weren’t able to have the perfect install with concealed cords without electrician which was out of budget, but Frank made it appear much cleaner and less noticeable. We are happy with the results. I would call him again in the future.
Details: Wall mount above fireplace • Not sure, need professional's help to determine • No, would like the professional's help in selecting a mount or stand • Tilt • DVD/Blu-ray player • None

Frank elegantly and masterfully solved my wiring problem. He correctly predicted some of the potential surprises that might emerge when he got into the wall & attic, but was able to overcome them without fuss. He flexed with some evolving objectives and communicated clearly and often, working around some external schedule complications. I'd be very glad to bring Audio Visual Etcetera in again, the next time I have a wiring challenge.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We scope every project in writing before any work begins - no surprise charges. For installs over California's $1,000 service-work threshold, we design the system and coordinate with a licensed C-7 low-voltage contractor for the install, then return to program, test, and certify it. Ask about current discounts when you request a quote.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start with a walkthrough or virtual consultation to understand your space and goals, then provide a written scope and design - RF surveys, drop schedules, and rack plans where relevant - before any cable is pulled. Once approved, we install (or oversee our licensed install partner), then program and test every system against the platforms you actually use before handing it off.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Founder Frank Simeon has 20+ years of hands-on experience in low-voltage systems and network infrastructure. Our team tests every Cat6A run with a Fluke LinkIQ tester, and for projects requiring TIA-568 certification we use a Fluke DSX certifier and deliver full documentation. We're also authorized dealers/installers for Lutron, Ubiquiti, Netgear, and Lorex.
