We first hired Jim when we moved into our home, and again three years later when we needed new equipment for a home theatre set up. Jim is the ultimate professional. I am completely comfortable with him in our home, trust his advice completely, and know he's thinking about the best cost-effective solution. I do not feel like he's pushing the most pricey fabulous upgrades when that's not what we were seeking. He's so knowledgable and helpful. I can't thank him enough, or provider a greater recommendation for A/V support. Thank you Jim!!
Description of Work: We needed to replace a AVR, set up a remote signal for our Roku remote to the equipment in a closet and adjust the projector for a brighter clearer picture on the screen.

Description of Work: Great job. Installed a drop down mount over fireplace. So it’s up in the day and can be pulled down to eye level to sit on sofa. It’s got hydraulics; sick Total pro and nice guy.

They were very professional, they took time to explain what they were going to do and made sure that all the settings were correct. They made no mess and were very respectful of our property and we are very happy with the quality of the TV picture.
Description of Work: They calibrated our 2 flat screen TV's
