Elite System Design began in 2009, but I have been in the custom Audio Video field in SW Florida since 1998. Elite was formed with a new way of doing business in mind. Instead of high dollar big AV companies why not a more reasonable priced AV company that can provide the same level of service. Super Service Winner from 2015. Call us today to set up an appointment to discuss your issues. Make sure you view the many photos of work done for other homeowners by clicking the photos in the image gallery.

John Tucker was terrific, very responsive and professional. He is extremely knowledgeable with regard to all AV technology. Our end product was great, just the right amount of high tech and ease of use. I felt his pricing was fair and competitive.

During John's initial visit, he understood my needs, offered some electronic product suggestions and had a proposal to me that evening. The work was completed to my satisfaction at a fair price. John is not only very professional but he was extremely patient as he explained the new equipment, how it interfaced with my iPhone and iPad and answered my many questions concerning the equipment. He is easy to work with, respectful and takes pride in the final results. I am certain that if I have any further questions about my installation he will respond accordingly.

Description of Work: "John Tucker helped solve a problem with my home TV systems. He was able to troubleshoot and isolate the problem quickly and bought his partner back the next day to replace a key component. They both worked very efficiently and completed the job very well. |I would have no problem in recommending John and Elite System design."

Fantastic results!
Description of Work: John Tucker came to to see our installation while the home was under construction. He outlined all the work that was required for complete audio/visual wireless system, security cameras, TV monitors, including all prewiring. He oversaw the builder's prewiring and mapped out locations for speakers as well as providing the speakers during construction phase. He was very knowledgable, responsive and a perfectionist.

When I emailed John our possible choices and ideas (Sony TV, a Klipsch sound bar, and sony Blu-ray), I asked for his professional opinions on our choices, as we were open to input. His response was "This project is heading down a road I neither agree with or wish to be associated with. For this reason I am going to pass on installing this system. Best of luck." I appreciate John's honesty and his responding to me quickly---which is why I gave him a C on professionalism and responsiveness. However, his response seemed to me unprofessional. I don't know with what he disagreed, as he didn't say. I am glad he was direct, as in the end we now have a great installation from someone else; we have a Sony tv, blu-ray player and sony 7 sound bar with wireless subwoofer, all of which are wonderful, look and sound great, and allow us direct internet access for amazon prime, Netflix, Pandora, etc, in addition to Bluetooth streaming. A chair we thought would be in the way of remote functionality was addressed easily and poses no problem at all. Maybe John wanted us to spend more, maybe he wanted it to look how he wanted, maybe he didn't like we were two women, maybe he decided our project was too small. I wouldn't know as he didn't say.
Description of Work: John met us for a scheduled initial appointment. He was on time and did take the time to listen to our needs. We only wanted a Blu-ray, a 55-inch TV hung in a corner with a sound bar mounted underneath, with wires hidden in the wall. It was for our second home, so we didn't need anything fancy. He said he was a Sony dealer and we thought we wanted all Sony equipment. As the initial appointment we on, he seemed less than enthusiastic. I asked him if he was okay with doing such a small installation. He said he was. He said he was not familiar with the Sony sound bars, and he suggested a custom built sound bar the would match the TV size exactly (a sound bar that would then also need an amplifier), or a Sonos system, both more than we needed and Sonos not allowing Bluetooth pairing.

I wanted to take a moment to respond to my most recent review. I did decline this job as it is my right, just as it is your right not to hire me. At the end of the day, all I did was take time out of my day to drive to their home (free of charge) to meet / inform the potential clients on a proper system. 90% of my work is in Naples and these ladies were in Ft Myers, which is fine, but I also think about long term customer service after the install and due to the fact I was not entirely sure how well the components they picked out would work together and the fact it would not be easy to quickly return to service this home I simply passed on the job. I hope any potential client would look at the total work of all my reviews and notice that the only mark lower than an A or B were the two jobs I decided not to take. I have a passion for my work and a good eye on what works well and looks proper together. If the job is outside my comfort zone I would rather be honest and pass than to do the install and never return calls for servicing the job later.

At first, it went really well. John stated that the work to be completed was to be done on only Saturdays. Our schedules were tough to get an appointment due to his busy bookings. Months go by, and after trying to reschedule again, John left me hanging, and said he was no longer interested in doing the work for me. Very disappointed, as I waited to get him to help me out with my problem. And now I am left finding a new provider. This is only my 3rd review, as I normally don't have the time to leave one, but felt inclined to do so. Again, very disappointing for an angies list provider to do something like this, especially after a quote was given.
Description of Work: John came out for an estimate and was very friendly. He later sent me a quote for the job to be completed.

[removed member name] is deffinantly entitled to his opinion and I repect that. After a struggle to schedule the job it was rescheduled by [removed member name] and my work load is much heavier in the seasonl time. This left me with no openings. I would ask you look at my entire field of reviews and base your judgement of my company off several clients and not just one.

It went very well, he was very helpful try to help us fix what we had and pointed out the equipment that was not working. He drove all the way from Naples to CapeCoral for the appointment but he did not charge us a cent. I would highly reccomend him to anyone in need of his services. m
Description of Work: John showed up right on time and looked at our system, it soon became apparrent that what we had and wanted was not the type of work that he speciliazes in. He performed no work but helped us to understand what we needed and the best place to go for help.

I have not a single negative to say about any of this. John is as professional as they come. Perfectly punctual, knowledgeable, helpful and patient as can be with our learning curve. Much of the work was done while we were not in Florida. We gave him a key to our home and he informed us when he would be there, a review of what he had done, when he would be back again, and any issues he resolved, etc. Entirely trustworthy! If you want THE BEST set ups for your home entertainment systems, John is absolutely THE person to contact. We give him the highest recommendation imaginable! Can't say that about too many service people in Florida, but John is absolutely deserving. Don't waste your time and your dollars anywhere else. Seriously.
Description of Work: Completely installed new Samsung TV, 2 receivers, SONOS system and lots of speakers, integrating DVD system, ROKU, programming of multiple remotes, DirecTV integration, Comcast internet integration Lots of equipment and lots of work!

John was so courteous and gracious and incredibly patient getting on the line with Apple Service for us (he knew far more than they did about the installation end)-- not trying to talk us into buying anything new and working to find ways to make what we had work. Now that we know him, we're thinking about some other improvements in our home electronics. And, although he's set up to do really big jobs, he's there for you on the smaller stuff as well. We really appreciated that and we'd call him again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: After several other providers had failed, John figured out how to get our aging TV system going so that we could watch streaming Netflix and do Apple rentals.

Installation went very well. John knows his stuff. He is also very neat. I found John on Angie's list. What I took away from the reviews was that he really knew his stuff but was a little on the high side. All I wanted to do was enjoy my TV's without aggravation due to technical problems. There have been none. Everything is so easy to work. Computer type remote makes multiple boxes easy to control. I can't tell you how responsive he is to call backs because I haven't had to call back. The Sonus bars are expensive with great sound. You program them from your phone or iPad. John will go over that. You can get streaming audio from anywhere. I found I could get all my Boston news stations plus the radio stations in Boston that broadcast the Patriot games. Big plus I wasn't expecting. All in all I was very pleased..
Description of Work: Provider bought for us, 2 HD Samsung TV's large screen, 2 high quality Sonus sound bars, Apple TV bx and Blue Ray. Also Computer type remote control, and all cables necessary for installation. All part of the price. Equipment was then wall mounted, remote was programmed and we went over the use of the TV's

We had a mess of a system. Nothing worked together correctly (TV, audio, DVD, cable box, multi-zone speakers). The kids could get it all programmed with much effort, but as soon as they left nothing worked. We called Elite, John came out, gave us an estimate to fix it, and while it was more than I thought we would have to spend, there was a lot of stuff involved and if you want it done right it you have to pay the price. Everything went fine on the job. John showed up when he said he would and did what he said he would according to the estimate and it all works great. No complaints, fine job.
Description of Work: Installed my 2 TVs on the wall, fished the cables through the wall, supplied and installed a sound bar driven by my receiver & a universal remote (that works!). Made it all look neat and tidy. Got it up and running and trained us so that even my wife could operate it!

We had one issue with installing our ceiling speakers one person made a misstep on my dry wall. Elite System Design hired the right drywall person to fix the issue the drywall person did an excellent job fixing my ceiling. The best part is no one was hurt.
Description of Work: Elite System Design installed and setup two TV's both wall mounted, Receiver, Blu-ray Player, Remote Control and Comcast DVR. They installed five speakers in our main living /media room for a 5.1 surround sound also, installed two 8" outdoor speakers for our outdoor TV and Media Center music. They did an excellent job on everything. I would hire them again to do any of my A/V work.

John was recommended to us by a local interior design firm, and he did an excellent job. He hooked everything up as requested, hid the cords and components beautifully and practically and left detailed handwritten instructions about how to use everything. He was great to work with.
Description of Work: John hooked up two televisions to digital cable boxes and DVD players, added "cat-eye" detectors so the remotes can be used without opening cabinet doors to the boxes inside. (The cat-eye devices are expensive, which is why the cost was on the higher side.)
