I attempted to contact the service provider over a 6 week period. Mike’s voicemail is not set up so leaving a message was not possible. When I finally got in touch with Mike he gave me several bogus times I should call him to set an appointment. After a brief conversation with another Home installation service he explained that the remotes that were installed by Mike & Unique wiring solutions were basically overcomplicated junk that required service calls just because. The tech instructed me to invest in a Logitech ultimate remote and hub. I am super excited to get rid of this garbage system and start working with a competent Home AV technician.
Description of Work: I needed to get my remote programmed and a new receiver installed for the new 4K TV I purchased. The home I purchased 3 years ago was wired by unique wiring solutions.

I was extremely happy with the project. Mike and his crew customized the placement of cameras so that I had the coverage that I needed ( I had lots of cameras installed). The camera quality is excellent. Mike was very through in all aspects of the project to address all of my security concerns including the addition of extra lighting. Mike was very clear and patient in describing all the tech aspects of at the hardware and software so that it was very user friendly. I feel very confident and secure with this new system and Mike has been available to come back and service his system when necessary. I am a very satisfied customer.

Mike did an excellent job. In this case he had to work with wood paneled walls. He came up with a way to wire the room without destroying the paneling. He is knowledgeable and very easy to work with.

I had Mike come out a couple of years ago to install two outdoor speakers for my patio. I had a good experience, so I decided to see if he could provide a quote to install the wiring and wall plates for four surround sound speakers in my family room. He did not respond to my vm or email.

Outstanding! See above review.
Description of Work: Mike did an outstanding job in connecting speakers in various rooms to my home theater system. He was prompt and very courteous. He had to optimize the complex wiring connecting satellite TV, cd/DVDs player, an auxiliary amplifier and other components. He was very competent and gave excellent instructions in how to use. I will definitely call him back for future work.

Mike was great. He arrived on time and spent 2 separate full days working on whole house wiring in 2 houses. One house was relatively straightforward. The other was a 100+ year home with lathe & plaster walls that was pretty challenging. He rose to the challenge in both cases. He really knew his stuff. In addition to doing the basic work, he did the small things like hiding wires and arranging the wiring so future users of the wiring can easily understand the organization.

The TV wires were challenging and he was persistent and creative to find a way to get it done without leaving me with any drywall repair. For the dining room he ran the wire thru the laundry ceiling, then down thru the crawlspace, then up thru the wall next to the stair and finally out into the dining room. For the living room, he went thru the laundry ceiling, thru the ductwork in the ceiling, and up into a coat closet, then out into the livingroom. These were not easy paths to identify but he refused to give up until he found a way. Thur it all he was in good humor, energetic, respectful, and open to hearing my ideas. His price was more than reasonable since I agreed to wait until he was coming down to this are on another call. I would definitely use him again.
Description of Work: Mike ran a new antennae wire to each of two rooms for my new TV's and also a cable wire for my computer to my home office.

We explained what we needed over the phone and Mike was able to answer all of our questions and even offered up suggestions. When he arrived, he was prompt, professional, and extremely neat. After the job was done, he was thorough in explaining what he had done, how things worked. I would recommend Mike to do any wiring / electrical work in your home. He was meticulous with all his work and clean-up.

Description of Work: Mike installed 5 speakers and added an outlet to the wall behind the TV. He ran all the speakers behind wall, down to the basement and back up to the family room where the components are.

Mike is a very pleasant, knowledgeable, and responsive person. He asked me questions about what result I hoped for when he finished the job. He met and exceeded my expectations. He worked very quickly and efficiently and I felt his charges were very reasonable. I would certainly use him again and I am very happy to highly recommend him.
Description of Work: He hooked up my dvd and Cd players along with hooking up a speaker system that was there when I moved into my present house. In addition he applied the receiver that I already had from my previous house so that I could use the amplifier for the tv, cd player, and dvd player.

Mike is very thorough and professional. He installed my flat panel TV on the wall, and provided all the necessary wiring. The installation of all wires were done inside the wall. Excellent work! Mike made room in his schedule to come over and perform the installation even though he was very busy with other projects. He goes out of his way to insure the customer is satisfied. I would definitely use Mike again.

Mike was great. After initial phone calls during which I described the scope of our installation (home theater wiring and set up), he responded with a respectable price that he stuck with after the job was complete. During the install, they were punctual. I'm very satisfied with the final product and would use them again.

Mike called me back after I had sent an email and left a voicemail about the work I needed done. We talked about the work on the phone in detail and he agreed to come out to take a look at the work involved, as mounting over the fireplace was going to require some additional work. He was able to come out to the house and complete the work with just my wife home in about a half a day. It looks great and their work was very professional, my wife was very pleased with how courteous he was and the fact that they cleaned up afterward. I ended up buying the TV mount from him as well as some longer HDMI cables. His price was very fair, I would highly recommend Unique Wiring and would definitely use them again.
