Can you mount a TV on a stone or brick fireplace?
Yes, fireplace mounts are one of our specialties. We drill into stone, brick, and tile with masonry bits, route the cables inside the wall (not through a surface kit), and use mounts rated for the heat profile above a working firebox.
Do you install Ring, Sonos, Apple Home, and Google Home?
Yes. We install Ring doorbells and cameras, Sonos multi-room audio, and set everything up on Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, or Home Assistant, whichever hub your family already uses. We also install Ecobee and Nest thermostats, Yale and Schlage smart locks, Philips Hue and Lutron Caseta lighting, and Ubiquiti mesh WiFi to tie it all together.
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Yes. We hold a Texas low-voltage contractor license, are bonded, and carry $2M in general liability plus workers comp. Every install includes a 90 day workmanship guarantee.
How long does a typical TV or smart home install take?
Most single-TV installs take 1 to 3 hours. A multi-TV home with Sonos and security cameras is usually a single full day. Full smart home automation or home theater builds are scoped by room and completed in 1 to 5 days.
