Highly recommend! He did such a great job mounting our Samsung Frame, soundbar, and rear speakers. We couldn’t be more happy…the set up looks exactly how we envisioned it. Prior to the installation he asked all of the right questions so he was readily prepared for the job which we really appreciated. He also was great at communicating until the job was complete.

Reviews
Would highly recommend R.A.V.E.!
Julius came in and fixed my problems with my home theater system quickly! Was very professional and informative. Would highly recommend.
Had a video doorbell installed. Easy and quick to schedule. Very friendly - helped me make sure the app was up and running.
Julius was fantastic to work with from start to finish. Communication before the project was seamless, and he showed up with a clear plan for how to complete our TV mounting. He worked quickly and efficiently, walked us through the estimate upfront, and then gave us an itemized breakdown of the final costs. Ten out of ten, would absolutely work with Julius again. Thanks!
Excellent communication, timeliness and professionalism. Will definitely hire again!
Mr. Randall contacted me quickly and asked appropriate questions to zero in on my needs. He was extremely knowledgeable and was very helpful w my Ring security products. He made recommendations that I was very happy with and offered to run to the store and pick up additional products to finish the job on the same day. He mounted all the products expertly and swiftly. He spent time making sure I knew how to work everything as well as making sure I was satisfied with all the camera angles. He even set up my old VHS player with the Smart TV for my grandkids! I was very pleased with the work he did as well as the products he purchased for me to improve my wifi and home security. I won’t hesitate to recommend him to my friends and family and certainly would hire him again. Jamie
I had a great experience with Randall. He was confident about the project I had for him that others were hesitant about and did an amazing job. He went the extra mile to prevent any unnecessary damage to the wall, pricing was fair, and I am very satisfied with the outcome.
He was extremely professional and responded to my texts very quickly. He was very precise when hanging my tv and made sure the project looks great at the end! I really appreciate him taking the time to clarify things and do a perfect job. He even connected a few extra devices I had around so I didn’t have to do it later :)
what a pro! TCL has an odd tv that does not use standard mount and he rigged something up to make it happen 10/10
Julius was incredible and very helpful! He walked me through how to use all the equipment and took great notes to send me afterwards. I love how my system is set up and the sound we get now!
He did a Fantastic Job!
My experience was pleasant start to finish. Julius was professional,adaptable,efficient, knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything to me. He installed 3 security cameras,my Ring doorbell and I couldn’t be happier.
My wife and I bought a mantel mount for our tv and quickly got overwhelmed. Julius came to our rescue and set it up quickly, thoroughly, and perfectly aligned with what we needed! Definitely would hire again, he did a wonderful job!
Julius wired up my old home theater receiver and then balanced the speakers (5.1) for the best surround sound experience for the room. It sounds great - thanks!
I had RAVE install 7 hardwire smoke alarms in an old house. Julius was great to work with. Showed up exactly when he said he would, explained the work and was friendly and professional. Great value for the work he did and I will be looking to him in the future.
The install went well from what I could tell at the time. One camera was not installed where I had intended it, After a couple weeks of poking around in places the install took place I have noticed some issues with excessive cat 5 cable runs. Leaving a huge mess of excess wire in my attic. One ca.era was literally 25 ft max from my NVR and 100' of cable was used. He doesnt cut cable to length and shoves the excess wherever he can hide it. I was nice and allowed him to do a couple unconventional temporary runs which made his install so much easier on him because im having my siding replaced next spring and can run the exposed cable behind the new siding. Today when I climbed up to plug in an external hard drive to the NVR I noticed he left a huge mess of drilled sheet rock and wood chunks all over the shelf as well as dust and debris on my NVR which I ended up taking down and blowing the crap out of the vent holes. Im angry because I was super accommodating to him and I should have paid more attention but I was trying to watch him and get things ready to leave out of town on a family emergency. I let shoddy work slide because we were in a hurry. The kicker was later that night when I got the bill he added $450.00 for "an attic run" he was in my garage attic which you can walk around in for a total of maybe 30 minutes and charged me $450 which was never discussed prior. All in I paid him $1625.00 just for the install of 4 cameras and a wireless doorbell. I was bent over good and just going to let it go but after today seeing the careless mess he made of my NVR, the mess in my attic, and the ridiculous amount of excess wire left hiding behind my TV I cannot recommend RAVE to anyone. Next spring when my siding is off the house I will rerun all the wiring and move the one camera to where I originally wanted it. I take most of the responsibility for not being a bigger ass but my wife and I weren't in a good frame of mind due to a family tragedy and we just wanted to get on the road. I had already cleaned up the mess before I decided to leave a review but here is an example of the excess wiring that was left. There was absolutely nothing custom about this install yet I was raked over the coals. A certified electrician that came over to install outlets in my back garage told me he charges $100 an hour and could have been done in 8 hours max.
Julius is awesome! Had to navigate an existing surround sound system to determine which pieces could stay and which needed replacing. He is super knowledgeable and was great at explaining how things work so I can get the best from my system moving forward. I will definitely be using him in the future and recommending him to everyone.
Unaccommodating and unprofessional. I paid $175 for a Ring solar panel install that took about 20 minutes, and it still wasn’t positioned correctly. Before the service, I explained in detail that the front of my home doesn’t get much sunlight and that placement would be critical. I trusted his judgment on where to put it — unfortunately, that was a mistake. The battery didn’t last a full day in the location he chose. He also assured me he would return to reposition it if needed, but now refuses to “accommodate my request” due to a busy schedule. That’s not standing behind your work; that’s poor customer service. If you can’t honor your own guarantee, don’t make the promise. It feels like he was more interested in quick money than in doing the job right. Save yourself the frustration — don’t hire him for Ring installations you could probably do yourself.
Great job and very profrssional and upfront with cost. Did a great job getting the cameras adjusted!
