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.

I'm very happy with the job. I needed to install an AVR and wanted all the wires hidden. The installer did the wiring inside the walls, and installed all speakers. There was no damage to my walls, he cleaned up after himself. The price was well worth it. They're very professional, do high quality work, and respect your property. Will definitely hire them again for other projects.

Details: Home theater (TV or speaker system) • Install new wiring • A few wires • House

Brian and team actually had issues troubleshooting my AV system, however I was very impressed by how Brian handled the situation. He was open, honest, and quickly refunded me for not being able to diagnose my problem. This is a sign of a great business owner and I would definitely which out to him again in the future.
