Super dishonest... They will come to your house, the owner would come across like a super knowledgeable guy and quote you a job for a price, and then a month later it will be something else that is 50% more than what he originally quoted, and the worst part is that he never tells you that he is changing the price until he has already done the job. To give you an idea, this company charges 375 USD for a 15 min job to mount a 54 inches TV. Run away from this company! They will rip you off!
Description of Work: Terrible company and owner

After completing the 3rd consecutive job with you, I’m sorry that we couldn’t find resolution to your satisfaction.

Technician contacted me and came out to the office two days later. Surveyed the job situation and indicated he would put me on the schedule for the "first of the week". At the first of the week, contacted him and he indicated it would be Friday. Friday morning he called to say that he would be out at 2:00. At almost 3:00 he was not there. Given his history, I called the main office and cancelled the service. However, after several weeks of not being able to find another provider, I called this company today to see if they had someone to send. I was told that they were backed up for three weeks. Business is good!
Description of Work: Was to run an Ethernet cable in a small office and install camera.

They were responsive, on time and got the job done without any problems.
Description of Work: I have used them several times to run ethernet, speaker and Sat TV cables in my house. They have always been able to get cables into places I thought not possible. They have a fixed price per run so never had any surprises.

Initially, it started very well. Spoke with Chip. They were really responsive and great to work with. The pricing was reasonable. Provided 2 initial quotes. Unfortunately our budget changed due unforeseen circumstances, and thus I contacted Chip via phone for a 3rd and final revision. I apologized over and over that we were not able to do the full project, but I wanted to start with this 1st ($1000 worth of work), and then later upgrade. He said no problem, and would get back to me. After 2 weeks of not hearing back, I sent him an email asking for an update for the quote. He never responded. I went with someone else. The only reason they didn't get an and quot;Fand quot; was because of their initial responsiveness. They really could have just told me that projects below a certain amount are not what they do due to high volume or demand, or whatever. But to never respond back is really inappropriate. Their loss, as I ended up needing some new equipment because I didn't realize that my old equipment that I was trying to re-use to save money, had problems. So they would have ended up having a larger sale. Check out my other review on the company I did use. He told me that many AV companies want to upsell clients and want larger jobs. That many times they walk away from lower end jobs.
Description of Work: Initial Consultation: Came out and did a great job and analyzing our environment and providing recommendations on what we needed based on our home theater wants. Was VERY responsive to get here quickly to do that, and also consulted on how to run cabling on an exterior wall. Provided 2 quotes: an initial quote ($5208) and then a revision ($4373) based on our budget. Was very timely on those. Was supposed to provide a last and final quote and never did. (Approx $1000-1300)

I pretty much told the whole story above but I might add that the receiver I purchased from them I saw at Best Buy for $50 less. They never hesitated in matching that price. They (Wes) was always on time and very good at advising cool things I could do with the system we were setting up. I gave a B for pricing. I don't know if that is really fair to A+ as there hrly rate is in line with what others are charging but the cables, new receiver and time it takes to program all the macro's into the remote is not their fault. Nevermind, I just talked myself into changing the price to an A also. I used A+ Cable Runners back in 2008 and was very pleased with the work they did and refered several people to them. Nothing has changed, I still comfortably recommend them.
Description of Work: Copy remote programs from two universal remotes. Had to send one remote back for replacement and they would not guarantee the program would be converted over to the new remote. It's laborintensive and thereby expensive to program the remotes to do what all I want from them so with A+ having a copy it would be fast an inexpensive to transfer the copy of the program. In one room I had them replace a receiver and blu-ray DVD player and hook up everything HDMI. That meant new cable (expensive cable) had to be run from network hub. We also added a computer to the system in that room. This required two swithes be installed to accomodate the receiver, blu-ray, computer, cable box, x-box and playstation 3. This meant additional programing of the remote. When it was all done it exceeded my expectations, especially the computer. They also set up a printer with air print and eprint to my network in no time at all. Now I can print from any of the four computers, wireless laptop and wireless IPad. I know this is long but I wanted to show the versitality of their knowledge. There wasn't anything I asked them to do that they hasitated on and even offered valuable advise for things I hadn't even thought about.

Description of Work: I had purchased a satellite radio for my home but is was impossible to get a signal with the satellite receiver that came with radio. I called A+ Cable Runners and set an appointment for a few days later. Wes Reams was the technician. He installed a better receiver on the outside of my house and the signal is at max. Wes arrived right on time, was very professional, went over all the details of how he was going to fix the problem. Every thing was cleaned up when he left and I have outstanding reception. I would highly recommend A+ Cable Runners.

Simply stated the work was done expertly and efficiently and at a fair price. They showed up on time, did the work cleanly, were honest and helpful. What more could you ask? They communicated well and finished on time. They even went so far as to add cables to improve our home theater performance and even set up our pre-set radio stations. These guys are great. The work was done in an upscale finished home and was a great challenge. They never complained and handled it all very professionally.
Description of Work: Installed ceiling speakers and volume controls in existing home and home theater.

He came out the same day that I called him! He was very prompt and polite! He informed me that I didn't need to have all the work done that another company was telling me that I needed to have done. This was really above and beyond what I thought. He ended up calling that company for me! The price that I paid was worth every penny!
Description of Work: He came out to look at a problem that I was having.

Chip provided us with a written proposal. He explained in detail what we needed. We purchased a new A/V receiver, missing front center speaker, sub-woofer and universal remote. Chip and his team provided an excellent service for us and we are so happy to have such a wonderful sound system. Chip and his team are very knowledgeable, talented, honest, professional and you can tell they really love their line of work. Chip makes himself available anytime for questions or problems, which we have not had any problems. They even call to follow up on how our system is working and to make sure we are happy! That's rare these days! Chip and his team get an A+ from us! Thank you!
Description of Work: Installed multi-zone A/V receiver, center speaker, sub-woofer, calibrated all A/V equipment, programmed universal remote and impedance matching in-wall control knobs for all speaker locations. WOW! We are so happy with our new system! It sounds awesome and it is so easy to work and user friendly. The sound quality is unbelievable! We recently purchased a home that had existing speakers and thousands of wires hanging in a cabinet. We had no idea how to begin. I contacted A+ Cable Runners and made an appointment with Chip Rowell to see what it would take to get our receiver hooked up (we were not even sure if the speakers in the house worked). Chip showed up promptly as scheduled (actually early) and took a look at what we had in the cabinet. It only took him a few minutes to figure out what we needed. He said all the speakers in the house were of good quality. All speakers needed impedance matching volume controls to protect equipment.
