Bay Area Wire Guy

Stereo and Home Theater Systems

About us

James Miller has personally planned the low voltage designs in over a thousand custom homes in the bay area, from log cabins to 10,000 square foot mansions. My 10 years as a low voltage sales consultant at HomeTech Solutions & 7 years in audio, video department at the Good Guys Inc. has given me the knowledge & understanding of all residential technologies that go way beyond just voice, video & data. A solid understanding of today’s high tech AV gear, flat screen displays and the many ways to distribute digital music & video is key to providing the wire backbone of today’s custom homes in the Silicon Valley. Homes wired by the Bay Area Wire Guy use all open standards and are not engineered to a spec requiring proprietary high priced distribution techniques. The home owner will be able to easily integrate any technologies in the future with ease. ​ I take no shortcuts on low priced web stuff when it comes to parts either. The Bay Area Wire Guy uses a hybrid of Open House, Channel Vision & Leviton, picking only the best of each line to come up with a great looking structured wire panel & quality trim-out thought the house. Many of todays integrators focus on selling high prices equipment and AV gear. The Wire Guy focuses on simply wiring the home for any and all technologies and provides a simple approach to gradually implement “tech” as the homeowners need grow or until the budget allows. ​ I have a list of contractors that refer me to their customers as they know these decisions can be overwhelming. I will work diligently with all customers to assess their low voltage needs.

A couple of weeks ago, I purchased a new 65” TV directly from Samsung & was suppose to get “white glove” service (delivery & installation). When the delivery was scheduled, only 1 person showed up to carry the TV into the house (really???) and then didn’t even know much about TV electronics to set it up (just needed it plugged in & a couple of cables reconnected from the DVR/video player). A bit frustrated that now I was going to have to hire those squad folks to come out get my TV working & spend money I hadn’t anticipated (remember, minimum rates apply) so was sharing the experience with my work colleagues. One of them recommended a place in Cupertino that might be able to help – but they couldn’t – but they did recommend James, The Wire Guy… So I called him – and what a hero. Told him my problem & he said it just sounded like a connectivity issue… very simple. He told me to call him when I got home & he would walk me through the process over the phone – so I did. And within 5 minutes my TV was working and James didn’t even have to come out and didn’t charge me a dime. Now that’s what I call a class act. James didn’t know me from Adam and I wasn’t acquainted with body he knew either – but yet he took the time to do me a favor. James is definitely in my contact list now & I will use him in the future for paying jobs – and I’ll also recommend him to everyone I know. James, you rock.

These guys are the best! The team, lead by James, came over and inspected the house to determine how to not only fix the bad job that was done previously, but also completely wired the entire house for cable and internet. Once onsite, work was done very professionally. They were very attentive to details and worked extremely well as a team. The complete wiring of every room, and also removing previous remnants of the old job, was done in 1 day. I am very please with the work.
Description of Work: Install cable and Ethernet wiring in home. Home is older home that had bad installation of cable from previous installation.
