Well, it turned out other DVD's would play so nothing was wrong with the wiring. The DVD that wouldn't play in the Living Room player would play on the Bedroom DVD player. He offered to return because I had an issue with the switcher in the bedroom. However, he never returned, never answered my calls and even when Angie's List contacted him and said he would call me - he never did. Hey, whatever. Would I use him again - clearly he was knowledgeable- but lacked communication skills - so probably not.
Description of Work: I bought an Angie's List 'big deal' because I thought the wiring from my DVD player to the HDTV was incorrect because I had a DVD that wouldn't play. He looked over the wiring connecting the units and suggested - something about the DVD being created in the 'wrong' format.

Very disappointing that a highly rated provider couldn't even make an effort to return my call. Even letting me know he was currently backed up with work would have been better than no response at all.
Description of Work: I called provider twice at both office and cell numbers twice over two week period to schedule audio troubleshooting work. He never returned my calls.

It was very good. They were fast and punctual. They cleaned up after themselves. I didn't have to do any vacuuming or anything after the TV was mounted. It seemed like a reasonable price for what was provided. They showed up on time. They seem to know what they were doing and they dealt with me courteously.
Description of Work: I purchased a "Big Deal" for the services of Media Wiring Solutions. It went over the price of the "Big Deal" but only because I accepted an optional shelf accessory. They mounted a TV to the wall of my bedroom.

great! it was time-consuming to sort and reconnect everything up, but Sharif did a good job, and afterward took the time to go over the changes to the use of my remotes and the various options I now had with the bose being connected to my tv. An efficient and patient guy, he answered all my questions. well worth the $69 Angie's deal.
Description of Work: reconnected a bose sound system that I inherited with this house. had a few friends try this,but they couldn't figure it out.

Prior to the date of our job, They spent time on the phone with me, recommending certain devices I was interested in and also helped us arrange to coincide their arrival with the cable installer.They arrived exactly on time, did their job to perfection, spread drop cloths wherever they worked to protect the floors, and not only does everything work perfectly and look beautiful, even one headphone set that never worked properly before, now also works perfectly. And in addition to doing absolutely perfect work, and strictly adhering to the agreed price, The owner and his assistant were an absolute pleasure to spend a few hours with. The beautiful photos on their website are a totally accurate depiction of the quality of their work. If you need work of this kind, do yourself a favor....hire them.
Description of Work: We recently moved into our apartment in Pasadena, California, and we had retained Media Wiring Solutions to wall mount 2 tv's, connect all the various devices, with hidden wiring.

The service center took longer than expected to get the necessary parts. Mr. Jackson felt that since he quoted me ten days and the repair took eighteen days he was not entitled to any more money. When I hired Mr. Jackson, I did so through a $69.00 big deal from Angie's List. He is a gentleman who knows his business. I would definitely use him again.
Description of Work: Mr. Jackson came to my home for a consultation. He accurately diagnosed the problem I was having with one of my audio components. He determined that the best course of action was to bring the unit to a manufacturer's service center for repair. When the repair was done, Mr. Jackson brought my unit back to me, installed it back into my system and demonstrated to my satisfaction, that the unit was working perfectly.

It didn't. He never did the job.The provider showed up after I called him, said he needed parts and would email me and set up a time to do the job. He never emailed me or called me back. I called him twice and left messages but he never called back. He got my initial payment that I had to paid through Angie's list but never received service.

The experience was terrific. The work was completed efficiently and professionally. Sharif is very knowledgeable and also very clever at finding solutions. I liked that he explained the work and was confident I knew how to operate the components before he left. He helped clean up some of the wiring mess left by other AV contractors and made it possible to move my TV receiver to a closet out of sight. His crew was polite and cleaned up very nicely after their work. I would definitely recommend Media Wiring Solutions, and will use them again for projects in the future.
Description of Work: Sharif hung a flat screen television on the wall and hid the wires inside the wall. He also helped solve some other AV problems I had.

They were great. They were wonderful. It was really nice. The price was very reasonable for the work that they did. They were very thorough. They were good but not over the top.
Description of Work: Media Wiring Solutions did the lighting on the ceiling. They put new canned lights. They set up our television so that it would hang on the wall and put the wiring through the wall. They did all the electrical work.

The proprietor Sharif Jackson is extremely knowledgeable and proffessional. From the time whe had our initial consultation I knew he was the right person for the job. I had a previous conversation with a contrator regarding thsi and he did not want to touch it at all. This was a very detailed and labor intensive project that took all day....a very long day I should say. His team of workers were also very proffessional and respectful of my home. They were very clean and left the affected rooms cleaner than before the work. The end result was exactly what we discussed and what I was looking for. I am absolutely thrilled with the results and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for home theater work.
Description of Work: I am planning to install hardwood floors on my stairs in my condo. Unfortunately, previously cable installers drilled a hole from my downstairs closet through the stairs. I also had speakers installed in all upstairs rooms in which the speaker wire was also sent through the stairs. Additionally, previous installers left tons of uneccesary wired bundled up in a mess in my bedroom which was very unsightly. I hired Media Wire Solutions to reroute the wires so that I could get the hardword floors installed and to clean up all the uncessary wiring in my bedroom left by previous installers. My modem was relocated out of my bedroom to the first floor where all the main equipment is located. Lastly he installed a network box so that I am "prepared" for future network initiatives without the need for additional work.

I wanted to upgrade my 20 year old home audio system , which included hard wired ceiling speakers in and outside my home. I had already bought a digital receiver when I scheduled a consultation via website on a Sat. Evening. I got a call back within minutes and arranged for a consultation the following Monday. Sharif, the owner, arrived on time, and we discussed my "wish list." I explained that while I'm not an audiophile, I wanted to: Enhance sound of my flat screen TV, play music in selective interior and exterior areas, connect to my iTunes library, play Pandora and other Internet based sources, all for a reasonable price. He asked many great questions, and gave me recommendations which included setting up distinct listening zones to allow for simultaneous audio support--for example, one can watch a football game bit listen to music outside. He also noted recommended two different receivers at different price points, and I did end up making the swap for the less expensive one. Conclusion: the job was completed in 4 hours with a 2 man crew which Sharif supervised--they were clean and organized. Sharif personally set up the iPad app to remotely control the receiver to accomplish all that I wanted to do. Will absolutely work with Sharif when ready to expand/upgrade speakers.
Description of Work: Provide consultation services include advice on equipment selection. Replace existing hardwired speaker lines for existing speakers inside and outside home. Laid new speaker wire for future speaker expansion. Re-organized and re-connect existing components to new receiver, including DVD, TV, DVR, Wii, and satellite TV. Performed software upgrade to receiver. Set up iPad application with new set up and tested.

The system setup by Sharif was extremely well done. There were some issues with the hardware, which Sharif researched, and helped resolve. Once the hardware was working, Sharif was able to complete the installation. His work was very neatly done, with all wires hidden. He also proposed alternative solutions to improve the overall experience while respecting budget limitations. Sharif knows the technologies very well, as well as information sources to find solutions when problems arise. I would have no hesitation recommending Sharif or using his services again.
Description of Work: Sharif came initially to help with a home-theater setup issue, which he resolved efficiently and professionally. He then installed a projector setup to a home theater system, with surround sound.

We had an integrated media system in our last house. When we moved we wanted the same system. The Media Wiring Solutions (MWS) owner, Sharif Jackson, after understanding our usage patterns, talked us out of copying our old system and suggested installing the Sonos system. WOW!! What a good call. We did not know that we could have the flexibility that Sonos provides. It is incredibly easy to use - as a result, we use many more features of the system. It was also less expensive than our requested solution. The MWS team was quick, efficient and clean during the installation process. Installing speakers in the wall could have been messy, but they were very good at isolating the drilling or cutting activities and limiting the dust to a very small area - I mean a box or a small space enclosed with plastic. The clean-up necessary afterwards was minimal. Along the way, we made some modifications, and they were very flexible in getting exactly the system that we wanted - it was more important to them to get it right for us, than to follow the original plan. We really liked that. The price came in just as we expected. Since then, they have helped us add a couple other components that they originally suggested that we initially opted not to get. We should have listened the first time. After testing, we learned that one of the speakers did not work well. They came right out and replaced it. No questions asked. We did not realize that the system would work as well as it does. Our two-year old runs through the house singing the ABC song, the counting song, or any number of toddler songs. It is great.
Description of Work: Media Wiring Solutions installed a Sonos Multi-Room Music System in 8 rooms of our house and the patio, with in-wall speakers in each room, hung 5 TVs, installed a NAS (Network Attached Storage) drive for central storage and Music Server, installed and integrated the DirecTV service with the multi-room music service, installed blue-ray players, integrated the karaoke machine, installed wireless internet access points and wired CAT6 connections where needed, and installed an integrated wireless controller for the master bedroom. They made the whole-house music system work seamlessly controlled by either our laptops, I-pads, I-phones or the simple Sonos Controller.
