Introduction

I care about the people I provide services for and I believe in the products and solutions that I offer. I do my best to satisfy the clients needs and offer alternatives so they are informed and can make the appropriate choices. I have two favorite parts of my job. The first is being able to use the newest technology on a daily basis. The second is seeing the same excitement I feel in my clients faces and hearing it in their voices after simplifying their electronic life and giving them the home entertainment they want and deserve.

Hired on Thumbtack

Joe went above and beyond to do the audio and video work we needed done in our home. He installed the 65" television and sound bar above the fireplace, reconnected the wiring for the the audio so the speakers and surround sound worked properly and he programmed the universal remote control. Finally, we really only need the one remote now. I wanted the job done asap and Joe met my timeline and came back as scheduled the next day to finish the work. He treated the job and our home like it was his A couple of examples of his diligence was insuring the TV mount could handle the combined TV/soundbar load (it couldn't) and he called Bay Audio to confirm wiring the soundbar so the center channel speaker wouldn't be damaged. He is very honest and fair with his pricing - it was a T&M job so he deducted ALL of his time spent dealing with another customer issue while he was on our job. It is a practice you would expect but isn't what my experience has been with another A/V technician. I will use CAV Installations again in the future and highly recommend this company and specifically Joe. Thank you!

Joe did a great job getting our surround sound up and running. He even went so far as to work with the manufacturer of the receiver and Sirius radio to be sure we got the service we wanted. He came back a second time to be sure everything was working correctly. The job cost what was originally quoted, no adjustments.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Basic systems are priced pretty easily and a quote can be given over the phone. But for more complicated systems a site survey and consultation is highly recommended. I usually break down the pricing as well as I can without making it overly complicated. There are many options available in any potential electronics installation and I make sure the client is aware of them. I also make sure the client knows that after they have received the quote that I am available (and it is recommended) to talk to them and explain the quote and why I recommended certain products or systems.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am constantly going to trainings on new products and services. I frequent online forums to read about other peoples issues and learn from them, as well as post my challenges and successes. RSS news feeds about the latest technologies keep me up to date on whats new and what coming. However I find the best way to keep up on the ekectronics market is to be out in the field working and getting hands on experience with the technology people want to use.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Hire a pro. Someone who does this every day and someone who is up on the latest technology and available products. You don't want to spend money to install a system that is all ready obsolete.
