Things went very well for Brian and me for these reasons. Brian met with me first to see what all the job entailed. Thank you I initially wanted to mount a large television over my fireplace and create a wireless effect. I was told by a best buy representative that this was an easy fix and could be done in a few hours. They were wrong. Brian stated the he could certainly mount my television over my fire place mantel, however it would include drilling holes up from the basement or outside my home wall through the living room wall and creating a electrical outlet in the center of the wall above the fireplace. OR Brian could mount the flat screen unto the wall, flush with the sound bar, on the mantel, snake the wires through he wall, out the bottom and plug it into an exterior outlet at the base of the wall. Easy breezy. And no wires. He did this for both tv's. He was punctual, friendly, we'll-informed, current without sounding cocky, and simply professional. I've already referred him to someone else. His attention to detail is appreciated. Thank you Brian it was great working with you.
Description of Work: Brian installed 2 tv mounts and 2 televisions. One television was a sixty inch flat screen with a sound bar.

He responded promptly and came very timely, which I appreciated since we were having an open house that weekend and wanted to show that all speakers worked. Sounded great after he finished and we very much appreciated being able to show prospective buyers that the sound system was an added bonus to buying our house. We will make sure to leave his information so that new homeowners will be able to get their TV and sound systems set up well. If we had a need, we would definitely use him again.
Description of Work: hooked up our in wall sound system after we had moved if out from an old entertainment cabinet and had lost our tags where we had marked it for hooking it back up. He go tall the speakers to wor, which we had not, and sorted out some in the basement.

I purchased the Big Deal for two hours of service. Brian was punctual and got right to work. One TV was mounted in the bedroom and he had to deal with some plumbing pipes in the wall which took a little longer. The entire job lasted about 3.5 hours. Brian was fair and only charged for an additional hour of work. We would use him again in the future.
Description of Work: We had two flat screen TVs mounted and the wires hidden in the wall.

If there is a way I could give Brian a higher rating than an (A) I would! He is just fantastic! I had an appointment with Best Buy to do this work yesterday .. Saturday ... and Best Buy just screwed up and never showed. I searched Angie's List and left a message for Brian. He called me back within a couple of hours and I said to him what happened with Best Buy and that I really need this done ASAP because I was having hard wood floors installed tomorrow. He made a special trip to come to my house on Sunday to get the job done! He was so professional and did just a perfect job. I am so glad that Best Buy screwed up. He ran wires through the wall without a mess on our new paint job and hid the wires. if you want a wiring job done professionally and speedy, he is "The Man"!

I used an Angie's list coupon for 2 hours of work ($100) plus 5 more hours at $75/hr. Brian, installed two 4-port modular jacks (RJ11 & RJ45) in the basement & converted 4 locations from RJ11/coax jacks to modular 3-port jacks (coax, RJ11, & RJ45). Brian neatly labeled all the connections & cleaned up everything. He had to go up into the attic to trace down the builder's mis-wiring. .
Description of Work: Split cat 5E eithernet (telephone) pairs to allow data & phone to be carried to 5 locations and attached to Internet router with patch cables. We ran into a problem as the builder spliced three cat 5E cables together, which should not have been done. This resulted in additional time to debug the situation. Terminated 4 coax RG-6 cables with F connectors.

The initial appointment went well. Brian arrived at the time we set up and proceeded to take very detailed notes about all the changes needed. Within a few days Brian emailed me an estimate. After reviewing three bids I decided to have EIS perform the work. Brian seemed to have a better handle on the task at hand; understood what I was looking for, and asked all the questions he could to make sure his estimate was accurate. We decided on a date for the services and since I was going to be out of town Brian asked if he could come a few days earlier to review what all needed to be done so there would be no questions when he arrived to do the work. On the scheduled day, Brian arrived when he said he would and worked steadily for 3 days to get the job done. Knowing this was a monumental task, I am extremely thrilled and impressed with the end result. All of the in wall outlets now have a consistent appearance with matching wall plates and blue data jacks for all of the new drops and the new wiring termination closet looks extremely clean and professional.
Description of Work: Moved 4 existing network terminations from first floor office to basement closet; added 6 network drops to first floor rooms and 1 network drop to second story master; terminated and tested all outlets to new patch panel in basement closet.

I am currently using Evolution Integration Services and everything has gone extremely well. Brian has been on time and he is professional and knowledgeable. Brian explains everything and is also very courteous. His services have been excellent so far, and I expect it will be upon completion of the job tomorrow.. Update... Our home theater system is now complete. I highly recommend this service. Total satisfaction on our part.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal to get some audio/visual installation services. I paid more than the initial price of the Big Deal, because I've requested additional services to be done. Brian put in a complete home theater system.

I bought the Angie's Big Deal from Evolution Integration Services for $100. I had purchased a new LG TV which was a loss leader at Kohls during the holidays. Upon getting it home and unpacked, I discovered there were not enough input/outputs on the back of the TV to make it compatible with my 20 year old "Home Theater" setup. I was totally confused. Then, when the deal appeared on Angie's List, I saw a possible solution to my problem. I contacted Brian and we arranged an appointment. He came on schedule and it took him almost 2 hours to solve all the problems but the entire system (Bose One speaker,wireless headphones, remote wireless speakers, dvd/vhs player, stereo and tv) works as an integrated system. He didn't try to sell me anything else. In fact, even though I was prepared to purchase a new receiver, he made it all work without any further expense. Brian is knowledgable and thorough. What more can I ask? I would use his services again.
Description of Work: He hooked up my antique home theater to a new TV. Quite a feat!

The challenge was making the system components work with both the Bose speaker and/or the surround system. The customer had all the cables and adapters necessary to reconfigure the system to make it all work. Only drawback is the number of remotes required to operate it all. Suggested that he look into purchasing a Harmony universal to help simplify system operation. Enjoyed the challenge and working with this customer.

Brian did a great job. He was very busy at this time of year but he still got us in before Christmas. He was very polite and nice and he was very efficient. I enjoyed chatting with him as hooked our new equipment up. He even supplied us some extra coaxial cable in order to make our cable box more flexible.

Brian was fantastic. He was very responsive via email when I asked him questions about setting up a time. He came out and did a no-cost site survey to see if he could even get a mount to work on our natural stone backdrop. The stones were uneven, making mounting very difficult. He came back a second time on the day we moved in and brought a mount to test. He said he would be able to do it and got started right away. With the TV being so large, my brother helped him with the mounting process. Brian even gave us a discount for that. He got along great with our family and was very personable. The mount that we ended up using was just a tilt mount and I told Brian that I was worried about being able to plug extra cables into it in the future. He came back out to help do an assessment to swap the mount to a full articulating mount. We decided that it wouldn't be the best idea so he helped me run some extra cables for the future at no cost. We will definitely call Brian again if we need help in the future.
Description of Work: Mounted our large television to stone above our fireplace. The mount was provided by Brian and was an additional $99. (I used an Angie's List Deal Coupon for two hours of labor for $100 which is factored into the total price above)
