TV Wall Mount

Wayne provided top notch service and I am beyond pleased with the results. His expertise, knowledge, and passion was well demonstrated in the service I received today.

Wayne ensured I was involved in every step of the way and satisfied with the direction of the project. Wayne is well organized, thorough, and cleaned the area during and after the process.

The TV was mounted on the wall with a high quality system. The wires were concealed behind wall with the installation of a shelf for the cable box. Wayne skillfully put this together exceeding expectations in all categories.

I look forward to working with Wayne in the near future on other projects and would not hesitate to recommend him for related services.

Outstanding job!

CAT5 and COAX cabling, NEST Installation, TV wall mounting

Wayne was very professional, friendly, fair, knowledgeable, thorough and most importantly very good at what he does.

He provided a quote via email for what I described needed done, which was a fair price to begin with, but on installation day Wayne did a intensive walkthru and investigation of the home and advised there wad already some hidden cabling that I could easily reuse instead of running new lines for some of the areas which significantly reduced my costs.

The work Wayne did was professionally done and with an eye for detail. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again.

Mounting TV On Wall

Wayne came by my house to mount a TV on the wall in the family room. The cabling had already been done by the builder, so I figured this would be a fairly simple job. He was very professional and detail oriented. There were a couple of minor issues, but he solved them with ease. He actually saved me some money by suggesting a cheaper wall mount, which was comparable to its name brand counterparts. I will definitely call him again to mount a TV in our master bathroom.

Wayne’s work is excellent and I would recommend him to my family and friends!

Fireplace TV installation and surround setup

Assisted Review

An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.

Was looking for an alternative to the high prices that are charged in the "specialty type" electronic stores, and came across HomeSmartZ which not only beat their prices hands down, but received professional, courteous and timely service. Our technician, Wayne proved to be very knowledgeable in this area and beyond, in which he was able to offer a first rate installation for our tv, as well as our surround stereo system. You can tell he takes pride in his trade as it shows through his workmanship. Will definitely be using him in the near future and beyond and would highly recommend him.

CJ - Hope you enjoyed the surround system and patio speakers. Let me know if can help you with anything else, would love to try something from that smoker. BTW - wireless smoke alarms are now available for Honeywell or DSC alarm systems.

Home LAN wiring and setup

Wayne was extremely prompt in responding to my appointment request. He mapped out how he was going to run Cat5e cabling throughout the house, plus adding a wireless access point to an existing router. He is professional, persistent and patient. He even came back the next day to make sure that the internet signal was strong throughout each location in the house. He spent hours making sure everything was just right. I would recommend Wayne to anyone looking for networking/cabling/Home theatre/etc. etc. Great local Service

Home Video Installation

Wayne installed our TV on the wall over our fireplace. We couldn't be happier with the result and noted:

1) We had an older model mounting bracket which Wayne said would be fine… didn't try to sell us on the bracket he stocks.
2) Rather than staple an extension along the baseboard from our old cable outlet, Wayne ran a new line from the cable box in the basement.
3) He even helped us look for the mounting brackets for our sound bar, which I had misplaced.
4) As someone else noted here on Homestars, he left the place cleaner than it was before he arrived.
5) He even turned out all the lights in the basement before he left.
6) When I commented on what a great job he'd done, Wayne said "That's my thing… I do every job like I was doing it for myself".

Wayne is a class act. We wish him and Homesmartz much success.

Wall Mounts

Wayne came to my home and assembled two wall mounts in my home. He was very courteous and meticulous. He even cleaned up after himself from mess that the wall made. Wayne was very polite, knows exactly what he is doing/ talking about and affordable! I will be calling Wayne again in a few months for more electronic work around my home. Thanks Wayne!

Home theatre installation

On the recommendation of friends, we contacted Wayne to do the pre-wiring for wall and ceiling speakers just after the demo stage of renovating our basement. Wayne responded promptly and was able to accomodate our short timeline to get the pre-wiriing done before the drywalling began. Wayne worked well with our contractor, his crew and the electrician. Wayne returned to install the speakers, TV and all of the audio components in both the main area and the home gym. Wayne also suggested adding a couple of additional wireless routers in the home to increase our signal strength throughout the house and this has been very helpful with the use of WiFi for laptops, tablets, smartphones etc. I can't emphasize enough how organized, thorough and fastidious Wayne is with his work. I would not hesitate to use Homesmartz/Wayne's services again for any future wiring/security/computer/hometheatre projects.

Pre wire A/V and setup

Hired Wayne to pre wire for our basement reno and then setup everything after. From start to finish Wayne is great. Hired wired internet for us for our home theatre, setup all the a/v equipement, etc, all the things I just didn't have time for and now realize I am out of touch with, Wayne knows his stuff! I will be getting him back to do more!
