About
Ideal Installs is a North DFW-based AV and low-voltage integrator focused on two areas: luxury home theater design and commercial security, AV, and network integration. We are not a handyman service. What we build: • Dedicated home theaters and media rooms ($10k–$150k+) with Dolby Atmos, 4K laser projection, acoustic treatment, and full Lutron/Control4/Savant/Josh.ai automation. • Commercial access control, IP surveillance, conference room AV, and structured cabling for offices, retail, warehouses, and multi-site operations across the DFW metroplex. We specialize in Ubiquiti UniFi, Verkada, Avigilon, and Axis deployments. With 900+ five-star Thumbtack reviews and Top Pro status, we have the experience, team, and insurance to handle projects other integrators decline. We're a real business with licensed, insured technicians — not a side hustle. Every project starts with an on-site consultation and a fixed-price proposal. No hourly gotchas. No surprise change orders. We show up when we say we will and stand behind the work. Typical residential project: $10,000 – $100,000+ Typical commercial project: $15,000 – $500,000+ Free consultations for qualified projects. Ask us about new-construction pre-wire packages.

Thought I had left a review for this company but realized I hadn't. This company is the best of the best with any type of installation and/or other services needed. They had previously came to install outdoor cameras around my home and though its been a couple of years or so, it still works like fine wine without any hiccups. If I ever have any problems (existing) and/or need new installation, this will be the company I will be reaching out to and so should you because they stand by their word and deliver high quality service at an affordable price and make sure the customer is happy at the end. Long overdue review, sorry. By the way I've referred several family and friends of mine to your company since the work was done and I'm sure a few of them may have used you guys for their work. All I can say is thank you, Ideal Installs, and I am sure I will be back in the future if I need you guys again. Cheers, Pranit.

Brian made the process of upgrading the cabling in my house very painless. He was prompt and thorough. The project was completed on the same day and the work was done well.

I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent service I received from your technician, Isaiah Ortega. Isaiah was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He took the time to identify several options for the installation of my Cat 6 cables before making any cuts or creating holes in the wall. He was also very patient and answered all of my questions thoroughly. I was so impressed with Isaiah's work that I will definitely be recommending Ideal Installs to my friends and family. I will also be using your services again in the coming weeks for POE camera installation and surround system speaker wiring. Thank you again for the outstanding service.
