Tom does great work. Would definitely hire him again for any AV project. I had provided him with some unfamiliar equipment (Down and Out Swivel Mount) and he installed the mount and adjusted it perfectly. He was more than fair with additional pricing since it took a bit longer than anticipated. He was extremely courteous, professional and very knowledgeable. I get comments all the time on how nice the installation looks and functions.
Description of Work: Mounting a large flat screen TV above fireplace.

I selected Audio Video Insight for my project after reading the other reviews on Angie's List. I am glad I did. Tom was very knowledgeable and I enjoyed working with him on the project. He has helpful in terms of placement for the four ceiling speakers and provided several brands with different price points to choose from. He installed the wiring and speakers all in one day and came back another day when I was ready to have the Sonos Connect installed. Overall, the project was within my budget even though I was concerned my budget might have been too low for the project. Having said that, I am sure I would have spent more money with a bigger shop. I would have no qualms about recommending Tom to my friends and family.
Description of Work: Sold and installed two pairs of ceiling speakers in vaulted great room, included wiring. Sold and installed separate volume switch for one pair of the speakers. Sold and installed Sonos Connect network audio player.

I had hired a contractor through HOME Advisor first, and he was a disaster. The contractor that I hired through Home Advisor never finished the job, never came back to correct his mistakes. Even though he said he would return the next day. I went to Angie's List to find a competent contractor. Audio Video Insight, LLC had many rave reviews, so I called them. Tom, from Audio Video Insight, LLC came to my home and had the job done in 30 minutes. He is a true professional and very knowledgeable. He is great!
Description of Work: I needed a contractor to hook up the Ethernet wires in the walls to the proper outlets, and connect the Ethernet to the modem.

Tom was able to arrange the consultation within a few days of contact, and once I decided to go forward with his recommendation, was able to install it within a week. His recommendation was exactly on point, resolved the issue with my outdated equipment, and was also extremely cost effective.
Description of Work: Tom came to my home to make a recommendation for my sound system, including in wall speakers. I had one component that wasn't working for me and wanted greater capabilities for online streaming services, as well as to be able to listen to iTunes through my inwall speakers. Tom recommended a SONOS system to replace my outdated component, and indeed, it is capable of doing all that I wanted it to do.

Tom is professional, calm and efficient. Put up with an old lady and explained everything. Had no problem answering questions, remained calm when he answered them again a week later. Would highly recommend him and his company. Very honest, and does not push at all to sell items.t

Tom was a pleasure to deal with. He did a good job trouble shooting some audio system speaker issues that we had. It wasn't complicated for him but would have been a mess had I tried to figure this out with all the wires connecting speakers, components, etc. I will use Tom again when we get a new A/V system for our home.

I had components that I wanted to reuse in an updated system, and be able to use all of my previous media, with an improved experience. Tom came out to our home and reviewed the existing components and what we wanted the completed system to do. He selected components that would work together with our "older" components and reviewed them with me prior to the purchase.. He then installed them, and performed a complete hardware set up. He worked with us on locations for surround speakers, somewhat of a problem in the room, and came up with a good solution. We checked that each piece worked properly before he left.
Description of Work: Installed new components to complete a full audio video system

Outstanding experience. This was our second time using Tom and I would use no one else. He is professional, on-time, and very easy to communicate with. He listened to what we wanted to do, gave his professional input, and completed the work just as we had hoped. He returns calls right away and makes you feel like he is an old friend - very easy to work with. We will be finishing the surround sound in hopefully the near future and I know without a doubt that Tom is the guy that I will call. My wife and I were also very impressed with a handwritten thank-you note that we received from Tom less than a week after the work was done. You will be very pleased with the work of Tom Kofski and Audio Video Insight LLC. Sincerely, Brian (Shakopee Area).
Description of Work: Tom mounted and hung two flat screen televisions in two different rooms. Tom also took a look at a pre-existing surround sound system to see the best possible way to complete the rooms.

Tom did a fantastic job. The room has a much cleaner look than when we started, and it has restored some sanity to this pair of parents who felt like their home was overtaken by children's toys!! Tom came to our house for an estiamte approximately 2 weeks before the job, and quoted us a price of approximately $750. He would run all wires behind the wals, transfer all stereo and TV receivers to the opposite side of the wall, and get it all working. Tom was very prompt and personable, so we immedieately signed. Tom showed up on the day of the install at the time promised, even after multiple e-mails (he is very accessible via e-mail or phone) changing up the time of the install to suit our needs. Tom spent about 8-9 hours at the home (a little longer than expected, but the I could tell the work was getting done RIGHT), walking me through the process the whole way. When it was all said and done, we were very pleased with the final outcome. In fact, due to the fact that we did NOT use a certain type of speaker wire Tom brought for this job during the install, our price actually came down below $700 (when does THAT happen?)! Would definitely recommend Tom and his work to anyone looking for a professional install of their equipment. Audio Video Insight did a great job!
Description of Work: Tom installed a flat screen TV and mount, surround sound speaker system, and infrared extender. The goal was to maintain a clean look to the room so all speaker wires needed to be run behind the walls, and all components needed to be installed in the room BEHIND the viewing area.

Please see above
Description of Work: I needed two flat screen televisions hung. Both 55 inch. One in bedroom above fireplace and other in family room in a entertainment center. The one in family room is a difficult project as size of tv and opening very tight. Also need to have on an extending/articulating arm. Called Tom and he quickly answered phone. Came out for estimate and emailed it within 24 hrs. Price was very fair for labor and parts He was flexible in scheduling as when our tv arrived by courier it was damaged in shipping. He was able to reschedule with us a few days later. Installation done very well and timely Very happy with all.
