Competitive pricing
We have worked hard to bring you the best products and the best service at a competitive price,which is a hard balance to find and maintain. For me, value is much more than price....It is a commitment to service, responsiveness, experience and a genuine interest in building relationships and not just sales. We sell some of the very best products available and of course we can match anyone's price. What we are offering is better service and better determination of what you really need.

Labor Rates:
| Project Consulting Only - $115/Hour |
| Existing Construction (Remodels) - This accounts for almost half of our work and is billed at the same rate of $115 per hour per installer. In spite of the wide range of projects that we've been involved in, it's difficult to predict the total number of hours necessary to complete the work. We can, because of our experience, give you a very good faith estimate based on the project and what you want to accomplish. We will always respect the time and expense and will try and keep you informed as to any changes. Good communication here is critical and something we work very hard to maintain. |

New Construction (Residential and Commercial) - $115/Hour per installer.
Our average new construction project is currently taking between 40 and 50
hours; however, we have taken on projects that took much less time and
others that have taken us more than 100 hours to complete, so the range is
quite wide. A good rule of thumb that seems to hold up over and over again,
is the square foot basis. The design and installation to completely
"future-proof" a home up to 3500 square feet will typically run $1.50 per
foot. Over 3500 square feet, the square foot rate drops to a $1.25 per foot and
this figure holds up well in homes as large as 10,000 square feet. If you're
not budgeting for at least this level of work, you're probably not getting
what you'll need. This includes all materials and labor to complete the
rough-in/pre-wire stage for TV, telephone, satellite, computer, audio/video
distribution as well as the materials and labor to complete the trim-out and
calibration of all these areas. The cost of equipment, speakers, controls
and miscellaneous accessories is additional - there's really no way to put a
square foot number on the various possibilities of these items. Obviously,
each home and homeowner is unique in their requirements and priorities, so
this is only offered as a basic guideline. Our experience has demonstrated
that the pre-wire stage is always worthy of thorough attention.
Technologies, never thought of just a few years ago, are now a reality and
what's coming is really unbelievable. If you are fortunate enough to be
building and have the interest in future-proofing your new home, this is the
place to start. You only get one good shot at it, so make the most of it.
Let us show you what is possible and what you should consider. Remember,
tomorrow will get here sooner than you think, so be prepared!
A side note: The trade currently involved in TV/Telephone/Computer is the
electrical contractor, and they are typically not interested or trained in
these technologies. We have worked with most of them over the years and they
will tell you themselves that they don't care about this area and are more
than happy to give it up! You have to care - it's your home, so get us, or
someone like us, involved; I can't emphasize this enough. The TV, telephone,
satellite, computer, automation and audio areas are not for the electrician.
You will use your TV and telephone more than perhaps anything else in your
home, and if you use a personal computer and/or a satellite system, you will
be spending a great deal of time with these products. Without the right
infrastructure in place, you may experience limitations in the future, so
again, pre-wire as much as you can. Let yourself go a bit in this stage - we
have found that people never regret allocating money to this area - make it
a priority, not an afterthought! |
