We hired Cable Shmable after looking at other home security options for our new house, and they did not disappoint. For us, they gave the best of both worlds: unified networking and home security, but also the best bang-for-your-buck technology with no long-term contracts. They came out for a free consultation, provided quotes with multiple options at different price points, and created a custom plan for our home that gave us an optimal networking setup. When they came out to do the work, they were friendly and professional and executed the job very cleanly. So far I'm quite satisfied with the results; the internet and UniFi system they installed has been great. Would hire again! read more

These guys are amazing. If I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would. I needed to run a fiber optic cable from the ISP junction box in the utility closet outside the garage to the soon-to-be office on the second floor. It's only about 15 feet as the crow flies, but there were lots of studs, joists, and built-in cabinets in the way. Both HOA CC&R and basic aesthetics say no to running cables along exterior walls - but that was the only solution the ISP installers were willing to offer. Enter Cable Shmable. Instead of giving a rough guesstimate, Karim came out in person to review the scope of work, propose a cable path, and provide a solid estimate. The very next workday, Alex and Yunus arrived to do the job. Having Alex and Yunus work on my project felt like being in a happy place. They showed up on time, brought all the right tools, gizmos, and materials, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. Their cabling expertise was obvious as they masterfully navigated the fiber through every obstacle and got it exactly where it needed to go. When they finished, the work area was actually cleaner than when they arrived. As a finishing touch, Alex and Yunus are genuinely friendly, easygoing people to work with. They listened patiently to my layman suggestions, explained the intricacies of fiber optics, and ultimately proposed, and implemented, a cable path that was both technically sound and aesthetically pleasing. The name Cable Shmable really fits. It carries an aura of ease and a true "can-do" attitude. When it comes to cables and networking, there's nothing these guys can't handle. I highly recommend Cable Shmable for all your networking needs. read more

I had an urgent need for a security camera system after a recent attempted break-in, and Cable Shmable was incredible from start to finish. From the moment I reached out, they scheduled the installation within a week, and the entire job was completed in just three days. They listened carefully to my situation, responded quickly, and made recommendations that were thoughtful and functional, not upsells. They even recommended fewer cameras than I asked for, which really built my trust. They also took the time to understand the aesthetic I wanted for my property and made sure everything blended in cleanly. Their cable management was beautiful, their installation work was flawless, and everything looked intentional and well-planned. In addition to the cameras, they also set up my access control system, installed my Wi-Fi access points, and installed my alarm system. All of it was done with the same level of care and attention to detail. You can tell they really care about their customers. Their pricing was very fair, and they even went above and beyond by helping with extra home-security improvements that were not technically part of the job. I feel so much safer now, and the whole setup including cameras, access control, alarm system, and Wi-Fi works and looks great. Highly recommend Cable Shmable to anyone looking for honest, skilled, and dependable security installation work! Thank you Karim, Alex, Sergei, and the entire crew! read more

Cable Schmable will be your go-to experts for constructing efficient, future-proofed home networking solutions. They helped me wire a new ethernet network after we bought a new house, offering practical advice that was budget conscious and effective. Lee did an outstanding job with excellent communication. Highly recommend them! read more

Had them install a full Unifi setup in our house. Everything works as expected and installation was extremely smooth

They did an outstanding, efficient and economical WiFi and security upgrade. Karim and the whole team were courteous and knowledgeable. You can't do better. read more

I recently worked with Cable Shmable, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Karim was responsive and professional, and he came out promptly to provide an estimate. His team handled the installation, and they were knowledgeable, efficient, and easy to work with. We were upgrading an outdoor security camera system that was about 10 years old, and I had no idea how much the technology had advanced. The new system is a huge step up. The 4K cameras are incredibly clear, even at night, and the AI features are genuinely useful. I can see which cars drove by, including license plates, track activity over time, and filter by people, pets, and more. The ability to scroll back through continuous footage on my phone is also a big improvement over our old setup. Most importantly, no recurring monthly monitoring fees. Overall, a very smooth process with a great result. I highly recommend Karim and his team. Update 4/6/26: A couple of weeks after installation, we ran into an issue when a new AT&T router disrupted the system. I reached out to Karim over the weekend expecting to hear back Monday, but he called right away (it was his day off) and walked me through a troubleshooting step. When that didn't fully resolve it, he came by the next day and fixed the issue himself. It's rare to find someone as responsive and committed to follow-through and 100% customer satisfaction as Karim. read more

Cable Shmable is the company you want to increase WiFi speed and connection expansion. Karim is very knowledgeable and his customer service is excellent. They designed a mesh network for my home that works beautifully. The WiFi connectivity and expanded coverage are very good. The system can be expanded if our needs change. Totally recommend these folks. read more

Really impressed with these guys. Came out quickly, no nonsense, no drama. Handled some tech changeover and various changes (smart home, cameras, nest, etc) Anything they didn't know they looked up. Got it done. I am very grateful. read more

Quality of work and professionalism was excellent. They worked with me to determine the best set-up for our security cameras and local storage solutions. The price was also reasonable for the quality of work delivered. Highly recommend! read more

Recently had the guys from Cable Smable update my home internet setup, installing wired network drops for home office + gaming and also adding a new wireless system. They did excellent work, designed everything according to my needs and budget, and worked hard on installation day to make sure my wife and I were happy, and also helped us get set up with a new provider. The price was very fair, and they were efficient, cleaned up everything, and were friendly and easy to talk with. I'd definitely recommend them. read more

Very knowledgeable team. They did great work and even looked at and worked on items outside the scope of the project. Highly recommend Sergei if he is available. read more

Very reasonable price. No minimum number of drops like other installers. They gave us exactly the system we wanted

Fantastic experience from start to finish! I hired them for CAT 6 cabling in my two-story home, and the team was professional, friendly, and super methodical, with great suggestions along the way. They finished the job with minimal disruption, their pricing was very competitive, and the quality of work was top-notch. I'll definitely hire them again and happily recommend them to anyone who needs network cabling done right. read more

Awesome service, they were great to work with. Very happy with my new home set up, and I appreciate being introduced to Ubiquiti!

Lee and crew were swift and precise in implementing a network design I made. They were meticulous and efficient in setting up cameras around the house and routing cables through floors. I would highly recommend the team! They know all the ubiquity equipment inside out. Karim was very transparent about the pricing from the beginning. read more

Cable Schmable came out today to wire my house and install a UniFi short stack (Cloud Ultra, Lite 8 PoE, several U7 Lite). The team showed up on time. Media enclosure, wall plates, wire runs, and WAP were neatly installed throughout. Great service all around. read more

Wow! I had installed an ADT "custom home" top of the line solution three years ago but the cameras were so lousy you couldn't make out faces, the playback app would only load half the time, and take 5-10 sec to render. Cable Schmable replaced all the cameras with much higher quality cameras that load almost instantaneously. They were extremely fair with their pricing, the utmost professional and epitomized the best in customer service. One of the best service providers I have ever hired. Bar none. They even stayed late on a Friday night to ensure they finished the job well. Highly recommend Kirill and the entire crew, with no reservations. After this experience, I feel like I got scammed by ADT, which is supposed to be the leading security firm. No comparison whatsoever. read more

I recently hired Cable Shmable to troubleshoot my slow internet, unreliable WiFi, and poor image quality on my LG OLED tv. They promptly made an appointment with me, gave me a next day appointment, and we had solutions that same day. My system immediately improved, and I've hired them to help with further improvements (for example, my TB is 4K but the receiver is old and not 4K, so the image quality will improve with a new receiver). Advice was solid, including highlighting how much improvement I would get with each potential upgrade, so I could decide how far to go. I highly recommend Cable Shmable. All the employees, and the owner, have been great. read more

I got an estimate for 6x of what I spent for re cabling and new mesh 7 wifi with incredible speed. Why would I pay 6x their price??

We recently bought a new house in Emerald Hills, torn inside out and beautifully renovated but 0 thought or effort was done for network cabling and security. In comes Karim, Alex, and their great team of technicians (Yurov, Sergi, Alex #2) with their problem solving and doing a clean, professional installation of: 1. AI Turret in front of the garage. 2. G4 Doorbell Pro + chime. 3. Two G5 Ultras in our backyard. 4. 3 Access points in the interior & one network wall port. It was especially impressive given that our home is predominantly made out of wood and no attic. Yet, they made it work by boring small holes into the wood to feed the Cat6a cable through and have nothing visible or exposed. We highly recommend them and would definitely seek them again for future projects. read more

On time, friendly, honest. Just got a quote from them, but Karim was great and I wouldn't hostage to work with them if I need networking work in the future. read more

Great work replacing my 9U wall rack with an 18U wall rack. The guys were extremely thorough checking all our coax connections, replacing any that were damaged or causing interference, and happy to answer any questions I had along the way. read more

(6) WOW! 5 Stars are simply not enough for the incredible experience I had with them. Their knowledge is truly top-tier. What impressed me most was how they presented clear options for my situation, explaining everything thoroughly without any pressure to choose one over the other. They empowered ME to make the best decision. A special shout-out to Karim - he is the definition of a consummate professional: knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely helpful. AMAZING service from start to finish. read more

I had an amazing experience with Karim and Cable Shmable. They helped install a UniFi door access & keypad, along with security cameras and ethernet runs. Everything was professional, and the end product works and looks great. They made sure the project would be a success from start to finish. read more

Astoundingly good service. Amazing value. I had Karim and his crew upgrade our home wifi to a mesh system, fix our failing Sonos system, and install a wired Nest doorbell despite our home's decrepit 100-year-old wiring. All systems are now working beautifully. I've worked with a lot of home/office IT professionals, and have never encountered any team as good as these guys. They talked me out of more expensive solutions and instead delivered the most cost effective approach. They left our utility room much cleaner and better organized than it had been. They troubleshooted integration issues with our old legacy systems. They were polite and charming. I will always go to them with any technical issue at my home or office. read more

Very transparent pricing, knowledgeable staff and was super thorough with the installation of a point to point WiFi bridge I had done to connect my house to my parents in the same court. Highly recommend! read more

Cable Shmable came by very very quickly after our coaxial cable got damaged and needed a new f connector. The job was very simple, but the technician was also kind enough to check other parts of the connection. Including giving us a new cable with better shielding. I highly recommend using them for any cable needs. read more

5/5 - Fast, professional, and well priced. Cable Schmable knocked it out of the park. They wired high-speed cable throughout our house and installed multiple cameras, access points, doorbells, and other security gear--everything works flawlessly and looks clean. What stood out: - Responsiveness: Quick quotes, clear scheduling, zero runaround. - Expertise: Smart design choices and a well-priced power package that fit our needs (no BS upsell and hardware was below MSRP). - Craftsmanship: Cables are tidy, labeled, and discreet; they patched and cleaned as they went. - Work ethic: The crew stayed late to finish so we weren't living in a half-done setup. Shout-out to Karim, Alex, Sergel, Yunus, and Li--professional, courteous, and organized from start to finish. If you want a reliable team for whole-home networking + security, ask for Karim's team at Cable Schmable. Worth every dollar. read more

Home network / wiring projects? Do not hesitate to call. I had a cat 6 line in my house that I discovered wasn't sending a signal properly. Rather than try to dink with it on my own, found Cable Shmable's incredible reviews and reached out for some help. Got back to me within minutes to setup an appointment, came out the next day, immediately assessed the situation and had it fixed IN UNDER TEN MINUTES. Karim was fantastic in helping me out. Fantastic option when something weird starts happening with your connections in your house. Highly recommend and will be reaching out about future projects (they wall mount TVs! :) ) read more

I needed low voltage for 4 outdoor unifi cameras, doorbell and 5 double cable drops to various places in the home. We needed to create a network closet to accomplish the retrofit to our older home. The team was highly professional, gave strong recommendations for the right combination of value and utility and were prompt with all communications. I could not be more happy with the end result. The work was done with the highest quality and the guys who did the work were tidy in their work and left the house in the exact way they found it. The price was fair, and lower than most other estimates - and I can't imagine others doing a better job. I will recommend Alex and the team to all my neighbors once they see our amazing network in action. read more

Strongly recommend if you are looking for a team that is punctual, clear in communications and expectation setting as well as transparent around cost and price. The estimate / quote process was quick and easy with a few routes to go. The work itself was done seamlessly with attention to detail and making sure that all the work done is future-proof as well. I could feel that they had a ton of passion towards what they are doing and it was such a great experience. The job was to provide strong internet to a pretty far away ADU + getting our home internet more balanced and strong + a security camera. Would definitely work with them again if we were to do anything more going forward as well. read more

They responded to the message very quickly, and scheduled a visit the next day to understand my request about the home internet setup. They offered either hourly rate or fixed rate to get all the jobs done. The quote is compelling so I decided to move on right away. On the service day, Alex and the other technician came. They tested all the existing ethernet/coax cables and labelled them properly. They also cleaned up my messy penal box and re-organized all the cables to make them look nice and clean. They set up my mesh routers and points (with wired connections if possible) to make sure every corner has great wifi coverage and speed. With their help, my home wifi got a huge upgrade! Highly recommended! read more

I wanted to run a few ethernet lines throughout my house, and the team at Cable Shmable made the process quick and easy. I'm very pleased with how everything came out. The cable runs and faceplates look great, and everything was laid out exactly as I described. It's also worth mentioning that I was able to get an estimate and the work completed very quickly, well ahead of my expectations. And everyone I spoke to was very communicative, punctual, and friendly. Absolutely recommended! read more

We have had the pleasure of working with Aleksandr on several projects for our business, and each experience has been nothing short of outstanding! The quality of work is truly top-notch, which is why we keep hiring him again and again for new projects. Most recently, Aleksandr installed a new network rack for us, terminated over a 100 network drops throughout the building, and patched everything perfectly. The job was incredibly neat and professional, with meticulous attention to detail. All our phones, computers, printers and security cameras are running flawlessly. Aleksandr installed 11 security cameras and his expertise and efficiency made the entire process smooth, and everything was up and running in no time. We were so impressed that we hired him for another project, and once again, Aleksandr delivered with speed, skill, and a friendly attitude. I genuinely enjoy working with him! Responsive, professional, and incredibly skilled. Highly recommended! read more

We had a new ubiquiti G3 intercom system installed in our building and the experience was great. The team showed up on time and did everything pretty quick and clean. They explained how the system works and made sure it was running before they left. The price was fair as well. read more

Karim assisted me with my home security system. He was prompt and quickly analyzed the issue that needed to be corrected. I heartily endorse Karim and Cable Shamble for the high quality of their expertise and customer service. read more

I had an excellent experience with Karim & Alex from Cable Shmable. Alex came out for a site visit and stayed for over an hour just evaluating what needed to be done and discussing options. I received a proposal that evening and with small modifications, we scheduled the work for a few days later. It was a complex job that took more than 8 hours to complete because of our house layout..we ended up relocating our Comcast box adding new incoming coax as well as fiber cabling (for future protection and upgrade). We then hardwired all of our Orbi mesh network router and satellites to a new 2.5G switch so that we get amazing WiFi coverage throughout the house. They added several new network wall jacks and cleanly hid all the wiring in our subfloor and crawlspaces. They also added power for the rack itself. At the main router we are exceeding the Comcast promised 2Gbps/350Mbps for network perfomance. They used all sort of cable monitoring tools to test the lines and made sure that there was as little interference as possible. They laid out new Cat-7 cables, added a new Gigbit switch, a 6U rack and labeled everything clearly. I'm so happy with the service and they are so smart and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend them. They know their craft! read more

We had to move our home office to another room. I know we needed to get out Xfinity WiFi configured better. I look on yelp, saw Cable Smable had great reviews and gave a call. Aleksandr came out, almost immediately, to give an estimate. I told him what we were looking for and he gave some insight on different ways we could go. He told me about a house wide Mesh network... well most of it was way over my head. I got the estimate later that evening. When we set up for Aleksandr to return, they were very accommodating. We moved the office, Aleksandr showed up the next day. He ran new cables, installed cable outlets, cleaned up the mess that Xfinity created, programmed the mesh network. It all works great, the office is a little more streamlined and I got a strong home WiFi. Thank you Aleksandr and Karin. Great work! read more

Karim and his crew were fast and efficient at installing access points throughout our home. Everything is working perfectly now I would I highly recommend these guys! Also the price was reasonable for the job. read more
