Introduction: Hello I’m Sam A Mays III, Owner/Master Technician of SAM3 Audio & Video Installations. I opened for business in 2003 in Los Angeles, California. Since day one, SAM3 A/V Installations, believes that a successful company is built by consistently delivering the highest quality service, products and value to every customer. Now home based in Lithonia GA., and serving the metro Atlanta area, For the last 16 years, our growth has been determined strictly by job quality. With no sales force, it is our customers that have pushed us into a continuous growth cycle. We take pride in educating our clients in the current, cutting edge technology that is available so we can implement systems that fit their lifestyle. Due to the rapid changes in technology, we continually evolve our offered services in order to meet your needs. We don't bid projects where, going in, we know the cheapest bid wins the job. We will most likely never be the cheapest bid. Then again I was taught, "You get what you pay for".

Doug R.

Home Theater System Installation or Replacement

Sam accomplished a large list of AV installs in my new home, mostly equipment brought from my old house. 3 high-end TV wall mounts, surround theater system with elevated satellite speakers, 2 sound bar installs as well as a zone-switching device. He overcame challenges to successfully achieve our requested "no visible wires" install. Best of all, after tuning the main surround system the sound is excellent for multiple uses. He put in the effort to produce a great result! Thank you, Sam!

Fan Installation

I hired Sam to install a ceiling fan in my son bedroom. I contacted him earlier in the day and he was able to come out later that day. He was very knowledgeable. He even helped my husband fix our porch light that we couldn’t figure out we thought it may have a shortage. We will be using Sam again to mount our tv over the fireplace and I have gave his number to my mother and sister n law. Thanks again Sam👍

Fan Installation

He was responsive and showed up exactly when he said he would, which is not something you can say for a lot of contractors out there. When our old ceiling medallion would not fit our new fan, he immediately ran out to Home Depot and got exactly what we needed to finish the installation. Easy to see that he takes pride in his work and cares about providing a good product for his customers. We plan on hiring him again.
