How a job goes
Consult, design, install — then stand behind it
“We consult first, design thoughtfully, and deliver solutions that are built to last,” is how Justin describes the order of things.
Consult
Justin asks what you want each room to do and looks at what is already there. The old Avant site put the order plainly: consult first.
Design
The wiring, the rack, the speakers, the screens and the keypads are drawn as one plan before anything is mounted.
Install
Floors covered, cable hidden, the space left clean. Then a walk-through of the system before the crew leaves.
Stand behind it
Support on site, or by phone, text or Zoom when a fix does not need a visit.
The 100% satisfaction guarantee
If you are not completely satisfied with your installation, we will do everything we can to make it right.

Reviews
What customers wrote on Google
He doesn’t just install equipment—he thinks through how everything should work together and makes the technology feel effortless.
They put blankets down to protect the floor and leave the space cleaner than when they arrived!
He never tries to upsell me and provides exactly what is promised.
In addition to tightening up our initial Control4 home automation installation, Justin helped us cost effectively expand what the system controls.
Hired Justin to complete a job multiple installers declined due to me needing two TVs installed 10 feet high.
As a local realtor, I am so happy to have a team I can trust wholeheartedly.
