If you need help with AV in your home or outdoor area, this is the guy to ask. Excellent work, and went above, and beyond finding a place perfect surround sound audio system for my home, basement theater, in addition to screen, projector, the whole gambit. Is very responsive to answer questions, and even came back another day after everything was set up to ensure it was working properly. He was even able to install new smart light switches and almost 100 small LED lights throughout my house. Couldn't ask for better business.

Hear from our happy customers
I had a pretty annoying situation with some remotes and volume control through different systems where nothing I tried seemed to solve the problem—real anxiety-inducing stuff. Grant was fantastic at troubleshooting and helping me fix a couple of other things (one I didn't even know I had done incorrectly). Overall, I very much appreciate his help!
Was great to write with, really could tell he cared about the quality of his work and always asked if I was happy with it before moving on. My tv was especially difficult to hang due to only one stud being able to work and he did a great job figuring it out!

We serve the entire City of Chicago and the surrounding North Shore suburbs. Common city neighborhoods include Andersonville, Bucktown, Gold Coast, Hyde Park, Lakeview, Lincoln Park, Logan Square, Old Town, Pilsen, River North, Roscoe Village, The Loop, West Loop, and Wicker Park. Suburban areas (subject to a travel fee) include Evanston, Glencoe, Glenview, Highland Park, Kenilworth, Wilmette, and Winnetka.
For projects within Chicago city limits, there's no additional travel fee. For suburban locations or areas outside the city, a travel fee may apply to cover transit time. We always discuss this upfront during the initial consultation, so no surprises on the final invoice.
Yes. Phone estimates are always free. Tell us what you're looking to do or send a few photos of the space and we can usually give you a number if we have enough detail about the project. For more complex whole-home jobs, an on-site visit may make more sense. If that's the case, we'll discuss any costs upfront before scheduling.
Yes. We mount TVs on every wall type common in Chicago homes, including drywall, plaster, exposed brick, tile, and stone fireplaces. We'll assess the wall and use the right hardware to get a secure, level mount.
Either way works, though we usually recommend you purchase the equipment yourself after we tell you exactly what to get. For TV mounts, we stock professional-grade brackets and can bring one that fits your setup. For audio and home theater, we can point you to receivers, speakers, and amps, or source quality used gear at a fraction of retail if budget matters. For smart home jobs, we'll recommend switches, thermostats, or cameras based on what works best with your setup. If you'd rather we handle the sourcing, that's fine too. We'll pick it up locally or have it shipped to you.
Yes. We aim for a setup where cables and equipment stay out of sight when the space allows. For TV mounts, we run wires inside the wall or use painted surface channels. For home theater and audio, we tuck receivers and amps into cabinets or closets and conceal speaker wire runs. For smart home jobs, we choose devices that blend in and keep switch plates uniform. The goal is technology that works without cluttering up the room.
Yes. You don't need to replace high-quality built-in or bookshelf speakers to get modern convenience. We use streaming amplifiers (Sonos Amp, WiiM) to bridge legacy wired hardware to phone-controlled apps. You keep the sound quality and gain the easy control.
Ideally during the open-wall phase, before drywall goes up. That's when we can pre-wire for speakers, internet drops, and lighting control. It's significantly more cost-effective and completely invisible once the home is finished. If you're moving into a home with existing smart systems you don't understand, we can help you get oriented and set up.
