How happy you are with some contractor is sometimes not defined by what they did well but defined by how badly they messed up. While I appreciated his input during the design phase and his work ethics, the mess on a couple of camera installs has left a completely bad taste. When the pre-wiring was done for the security camera, I don't know why the pre-wire had to be right next to the light. Jacob apparently thought that it was going be a sconce - but communication is important. Don't assume - if not sure, ask. So his pre-wiring would be fine if it was a sconce but definitely not OK for the flood light. Even after that happened, I knew that there is no way the camera would fit. And I told him that it would be OK to have the wire come down and then mount the camera below the light. I was really surprised when he told me that he was able to fit the camera and the light. When I checked later, I was shocked at what was done. Not only the floodlight jammed into the camera doesn't look nice, it also cuts off all the light to that side of the house. When I mentioned this issue, he offered to fix it but at this point I don't know how one fixes this since there are additional holes drilled into the siding and the rock that would be visible to make the thing even worst. I certainly did not expect this level of goof up when you pay a professional to do a job. One other thing to add is that when the pre-wiring was done, he kept talking about using toning to figure out the location. Fortunately, I had taken pictures to help with that - otherwise I think he would be spending a lot more time to figure out the speaker locations. This was my time getting a home built - so I did not know what to expect but I would that a professional would know to take some good pictures/measurements so that the finish phase is easier. read more

Jacob knows what he is talking about - meticulous, knowledgeable, respectful, friendly - my go-to for networking for sure! Thank you for coming to our family's rescue! read more

I hired Jacob 3 times, first time for wiring cat6 cable for whole house + ubiquiti cameras, 2nd time smart light stuff, and lastly mounting 75" TV. He's very friendly and professional, and organized our cables really well. Our house had lots of old wires, essentially every owner did some new wiring but never removed old ones, it was a big headache and Jacob cleaned them all as part of job without much additional charge. He also respond to questions very quick and provides great suggestions. Highly recommended! read more

Connected Integration - Home Automation Near Me

Connected Integration have done 2 projects for me over the last couple of years and I've been thrilled with the results, both times! The crew from Connected Integration is professional, on-time, highly communicative, and fair on price. They completed each project beyond our expectations - and without a wire in sight in the finished results! Our first project was indoor, where Jacob and team provided free consultation on various options. Together, we chose the perfect plan to install audio & video for our new house in Folsom. We went with a large screen TV over the fire place, speakers in the ceiling, and as a Sonos Sub for bass. Our ceiling speakers were installed in very tricky locations, but somehow Connected Integration was able to work magic, without any unnecessary cutting of the ceiling or walls. Our second project was audio, video, and internet access points outdoors for our new backyard. Jacob and the Connected Integration team installed an incredible sound system, including four speakers and booming bass, as well as an outdoor TV with cable box, hung from our pergola. The finished results are fantastic! I highly recommend Jacob and the Connected Integration team. My wife and I are very happy we chose them for our home upgrade and we think Connected Integration is a great local company to support! read more

Very happy with the camera security system installed and with the service from Jacob and his team. They made the whole process easy and exactly as we wanted. Thank you!! read more

Jacob is awesome and a perfectionist in the very best way! He installed electrical outlets in several places in our home and suddenly we became cord free! He mounted our tv and soundbar on the wall perfectly center, and stowed our cable, and gaming boxes in a closet, out of sight! He also installed a Schlage door lock, Nest thermostat and set up a Wink hub so that we can control everything with our phones! He made sure to explain thoroughly how everything worked and all the options we had with the app. I am so happy we put out trust in him! If you need any tech upgrades contact him, you wont be sorry!! read more

Jacob and Alex did a fantastic job on my installation of my home stereo equipment. They were very professional and they arrived on time. They did a fantastic job and I could not be more pleased with their service and quality of work. They are the best contractors that I have been associate with. I highly recommend Connected Integration. Dale read more

Jacob worked with me over text to try and solve some problems I was having while installing my Nest. The issue ended up being with my HVAC system and not the technology but Jacob helped me in every possible way that he could! We text back and forth for a few hours as he guided me to test different options to get things up and running. Since the problem was with my HVAC system I need to seek a different kind of professional, but Jacob helped me as best he could free of charge. I will definitely be relying on Connected Integration for any future technology needs in my home! read more

We had Connected Integration run network and coaxial cable throughout our home for security cameras and general use. Jacob came up with a proposal based on our input and had helpful suggestions along the way. When it came time to run the cables, he and his team were able to hide almost all of them in the attics and walls so that they weren't an eyesore. Highly recommended! read more

Jacob has been my go-to sound integration person for the last 5 years! As others have said, he is a perfectionist but more than that he cares about his clients and goes above to be sure your system is giving you what you want! The first time he came to clean up an old system. Then we had him come back to extend our wi-fi and we decided we needed a new receiver. He installed that and updated our harmony remote! I contact him whenever I need help! He always responds promptly! Can't ask for better service! read more

Jacob and team finished a professional pre-move-in installation at our new home installing 6 cameras and enhancing our internet to assure complete coverage for all cameras. From the moment I initially made contact with Jacob my intuition told me he was the real deal - and he never ever, even for a second changed that feeling. He keeps his word, describes exactly the process, does an excellent professional installation and ends with a thorough training session. He is so easy to talk with, and I regret guessing he was older than his actual age, but in my defense he has wisdom beyond his years. Don't hesitate to use his services. read more

I had a 65" tv installed with sound system in my living room and I am very satisfied. CI supplied the SONY components and although expensive you get what you pay for and after several months every thing still works great. read more

Highly recommended. Commercial or Residential, Jacob is fast, precise and does quality work. From the start, the level of detail Jacob puts in, was shown from Step 1, the proposal he made for us was very detailed, his final total cost wasn't more than his provided quote, and the communication from start to finish was stellar. I will be reaching out to Jacob for future work in the Sacramento Area. read more

If you're considering the installation of audio and video and are in need of support, don't hesitate in calling Jacob from Connected Integration. Working with Jacob has been terrific! His knowledge, support, and professionalism are certainly a plus! Jacob took the time to understand what my "vision" was, as well as provide some direction of what would work well for what I was trying to achieve. Jacob has supported my audio and video "transition" in a couple of phases, while pre-planning for additional future phases. Jacob has been very responsive, has been able to complete the projects on-time, on-budget, and the quality of work is fantastic. I highly recommend Jacob and Connected Integration, and I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to him with future technology needs. read more

On August 19, Jacob and his assistant installed a complete 5.1.2 home theater system for me. I used Jacob's company to purchase all of the audio and video components. He also ran 14 gauge speaker wire in the ceiling to replace the 16 gauge wire the home builder had previously installed. I began corresponding with Jacob last March regarding my home theater plans and he was always very responsive and personable and he helped me tremendously with selecting the TV and everything else for my system. All of the products were purchased through Jacob's company. Jacob was very timely, very thorough, and did a great job of cleaning up when he was finished. The job included mounting the 75" Samsung QLED TV on the wall and it looks GREAT (with no cords or wires showing). He is a master at "wire management" so that you barely see any of the wires connecting any of the speakers or any wires going into or out of the media cabinet. All-in-all, it was a very "clean" install. He also honored COVID-19 restrictions by wearing a mask during the entire time he was here. He not only installed the system, he also set everything up (including programming the remote) to be sure that everything worked (and sounded) like it should. Although it wasn't part of his contract, he set up my RING doorbell, too! I am so very pleased as to how great the system sounds and looks. Jacob is extremely knowledgeable regarding the products he installed for me. I cannot recommend him highly enough. read more

I would recommend Lo Vo Sol to anyone in need of home audio, networking or home automation installation or troubleshooting. It is clear that Jacob has an excellent technical background and he's passionate about his work! Also, I asked him to get a ton of work done in one day and he did it with a smile! Great customer service! read more

I wished we found Jacob before hiring the other AV contractor. We would have saved a lot of money and time. Jacob and his partner knows what they are doing. Jacob is great on follow through and does great work. They adjusted and installed our TV mounts, fixed our Universal Remotes, installed Nest cameras, security system, and door bell. Reworked our network in our brand new home as our internet was very sluggish. Due to Jacobs help, we are on our way to having an automated smart home. He helped us install switches and outlets to work with the Wink system that I can control from my phone, as well as, install keyless entry locks and garage door openers that are also managed through my phone. We upgraded our whole house to the Sonos sound system with Alexa assistant that everyone in the house can enjoy. Finally, all those ugly wires in our house are hidden behind the walls, so every rooms looks seamless and clean. If you call another contractor and they say it can't be done, then call Jacob and he will find a solution for you. Even if they quote you a lower price, you will take a chance that the job will not be done right. read more

I am working on a small bedroom that is being converted to a "man cave" with multiple uses. Because of the small size of the room and the husband's wish for a large TV, I decided that having one installed on the wall would be the best solution. I was very fortunate to find Lo Vo Sol who did a wonderful wonderful job installing a TV on the wall. In addition to installing a 55" TV that they purchased at my request for no additional cost, they helped me to decide on the proper size of TV that would be appropriate for the room. They also installed a wall console I purchased to hold other TV equipment. Their installation of the TV and console looks fabulous with no wires showing as I requested and is their regular practice. What was really great is that the owner and his assistant were so informative that the husband asked for their advice on additional equipment. They made me comfortable having them in the home owners house. One thing that was very important to me is that they were very business-like and provided all information in writing and a written contract that reflected the changes that I requested. Their charge for their work was very reasonable and competitive. Finally, they made sure the room was in as clean a condition as it was when they arrived. I would certainly hire them again for similar work and refer them to other home owners. read more
