My nephew has an AV business in California and was up visiting us in Portland. He convinced us it was time to upgrade our sound system, television etc. . We had wanted to do this for some time, but kept putting it off. We knew we'd need to find someone really good and it felt daunting to start the search. My nephew evaluated our needs and then researched finding someone local he felt would do the best job for us. He found Matt, interviewed him and recommended we try him. One of the things he said about Matt was that he knew what he was doing and was extremely professional. . In my opinion, there was a lot to do, but Matt made it seem very doable. He was extremely knowledgeable about all of the product choices he suggested and helped us understand pros and cons to each one. We had to upgrade our cable hardware with Comcast and he provided a punch list for us so we would understand what to ask for. He assured us he would come behind them and make sure everything was done correctly and cleanly, and he did. Installation day was long but interesting. We have a 1929 house that always provides challenges, but Matt worked with his assistant efficiently and patiently. He was meticulous and focused. Matt is someone who does not give up easily. He is thoughtful and wants to make things work, even if challenges are presented. We are extremely happy, the outcome has been beyond anything we expected. He has been very responsive if we every have any questions regarding operating any of our equipment. . He was reasonably priced but I honestly would not have flinched knowing what I know now. He is a gem and we feel fortunate to have found him. I am very particular, more than most people. He exceeded my expectations and I would strongly recommend anyone using him. Tough to find people with Matt's work ethic and passion for what he does. read more

Contacted Matt with Hook Me Up Solutions after seeing a glowing review from my one of my neighbors. Matt provided a loose estimate over the phone for what I could expect for the mounting of two flat panel televisions. Matt and his assistant arrived promptly (after sending an ETA vis text message) and quickly set to work. Matt kept me informed of things that could be done in addition to mounting the television (hiding wires, installing wired internet to the televisions, etc) and appraised me of what the cost would be prior to any work. Matt showed me an outline of where the televisions would be and after our approval, went to work. The entire installation went "no muss no fuss". Matt cleaned up all debris and the televisions looked great. Once our furniture went in, we quickly found that our main television resembled the front row of a movie theater and was not very comfortable to watch. We also found that the main television had no hard-wire internet connection (Comcast came after the television mounting). I contacted Matt again and he came by the next day. Matt informed me that he could lower the television but I would need to pay for a different mount (power supply and junction box in the way). No problem as this was not a fix of something that Matt had done wrong, merely a preference on our part. Matt diagnosed our hard wire internet problem and fixed it while at the same time making all of our telephone lines "hot" allowing the placement of the telephone anywhere in the house. Television was at a much better placement for the room after lowering. Matt then only demanded the $45 dollars for the mount. I was blown away. I gave Matt more than he demanded as I wanted to compensate for his time and effort. Great guy and great local company. Will use again and recommend highly. read more

I had been wanting a new DVD and sound system for a long time but was overwhelmed by the options and the thought of taking my old one apart and getting the new one installed wad daunting so kept putting it off. Finally I contacted Matt and he came to view the area so he knew what would work best in my apartment and what kind of a sound system I was looking for. He then sent me several options that I was able to review and contrast - and once I decided on the DVD/sound system I wanted and let him know - it was there the next day!! It was so awesome not to have to worry about the install. Matt was very deliberate and careful, showing up with all the right tools and carefully taking everything I had down without scratching, breaking, or tearing up any of my furniture or existing equipment. The install went very fast and he was able to split the LAN internet cable so that I had direct hookup to the internet for both my computer and my sound system! So the "smart" functions on the new DVD sound system not only LOOK amazing, but they run incredibly quickly and smoothly on the internet connection and wow the sound! It was really nice to know that he was taking everything seriously, where the speakers would not only work best but look best, and how carefully he re-attached everything including the cable boxes and existing equipment so that the finished product looked good and I had no cleanup or fussing to do afterwards. He went through the set-up process of the new DVD player/sound system and helped me get certain things set up and showed me functions I would haven't even known about. Definitely recommend - he is responsive, quick, clean, and very thorough and it took the hassle out of this whole process. The pricing is very competitive as well. read more

I'm nothing close to a techie. So, in my research of an AV company to get speakers and tv installed I went right to Yelp. I heard some horror stories from friends and neighbors from lazy and un professional companies. When I looked up tv installation, I saw hook me up solutions, and gave them a call. He answered and was very professional and polite; i'm not used to this for this type of work. He recommended that a visual survey would give me an accurate quote. He rolled out the same day, actually 2 hours later. Took a look around, asked me questions on what I normally use the tv for, ect... He left and said he'll send an email over with the quote within 5 hours, and he sent it back in 3. I agreed to the price, and scheduled out the next day. This is a dream come true, the job was finished within 6 hours, nothing damaged, very clean work, wires hidden, cables organized, even cleaned our tv, vacuumed, swept up his crews mess, and sat down with my wife and I a few tips on our Comcast remote and electronics care. Comparing this to a cable company install, i'm in a wow! This was the best installation I've ever had. read more

Had Matt out with his crew to install a Wilson cell booster in my home. They showed up on time ( unusual for most contractors) and were very professional. The install included outside and attic hook ups. Our power was out at the time but they came prepared so it didn't effect the install. When power came back on he finished up. All messes were cleaned up and he noted to my husband a few spots that needed to be sealed from a previous direct tv hookup. While he was here I asked for a battery back up and power protector for my computer and T.V.'s. as the current surge protectors were not up to par. Matt returned later in the day to take care of it all for me. I have never been so pleased with the quality of work, and scope of knowledge. I now have 4 bars on my cell where I had 1 sketchy one before. Power goes out I will still have internet thanks to battery back up. I would highly recommend him . I plan on having cameras put in soon and will definitely use Matt. This has truly been my best experience with anyone doing work for me. THANKS MATT ! read more

I found their ad on Craigslist, which always makes me a little nervous. But, after reading all of their high Yelp reviews, I decided to take a chance and call them. SO GLAD I DID!! Matt was able to assess my complex AV needs over the phone, cut me deals on all of the components I purchased from him, and was able to come over and do the job the next day! He and Clint showed up on time, knocked it out in a few hours, and were even courteous when my obnoxious Labs (sorry about the chewed rolls of electrical tape!) harassed them throughout their time here. Later that night, I was having intermittent audio issues when watching Netflix, so I emailed Matt. He emailed back right away, helped me troubleshoot the cause and, once we determined it was a faulty optical cable, he scheduled a time that worked best for me, to come back out and run a new cable, free of charge. To summarize: they're very affordable (cheaper than Best Buy), punctual, talented, and stand by their work. Not sure why you would use anyone else! read more

This is my first review written, but the 2nd time I've used "Hook Me Up Solutions" to complete my home theatre installation and setup. Matt Alloway (Owner) and Wyatt were very thorough and meticulous when installing my 65" UHDTV. First and foremost Matt would review the work to be completed. Because I'm not an expert in A/V, Matt was very helpful in making height suggestions for the TV as well as updating component firmware. An additional TV was installed in my great room living area and the previous setup was hideous. With Matt's expertise, he installed a new in-the-wall TV mount. You cannot go wrong with this company. Matt is customer-focused, responds quickly... I texted him the night before Thanksgiving and within 2 minutes, he called me! OUTSTANDING!!!! You need an A/V solution, call "Hook Me Up Solutions"! I guarantee you will not be disappointed!!!! read more

Matt and his team have done 3 different jobs for us. He is thorough, explains things so anyone can understand and treats your home and equipment as if it were his own. Matt worked within our budget and time line. His team is equally important to comment on, in the fact of treatment of our home and equipment. They come prepared and ready for anything. Great guys!! I have purchased equipment from him, had it installed and they also fixed many existing issues I had. Matt made recommendations on equipment and how to tackle problems.with several options so that the installs fit my needs and budget. I come from an electronics background and can promise he knows his tech stuff. I would not hire anyone else to work on my home . Our lives have improved by his genius with the internet and knowledge of products. look forward to phase 4!!!! read more

I am totally suspicious of a business with nothing but five star reviews. I always wonder if a bunch of friends and relatives aren't stuffing the ballot box. I don't give five stars out very often. Hook Me Up Solutions is the real deal. I called Matt out to resolve an issue with my A/V receiver and subwoofer. He not only fixed that issue, he then checked every aspect of my installation including my smart panel. He suggested a couple of low cost cable upgrades, and new digital splitters in my smart panel. These are things that should have been done correctly with the original installation. The result: problem solved. Plus, my picture and sound are noticeably better in every room and my internet is faster. Matt is super knowledgable, meticulous, and very reasonably priced. Five stars well earned. read more

We had the pleasure of engaging Hook Me Up Solutions recently after moving into a new home. Matt and his team (Paul and Mark) are consummate professionals and simply a joy to work with. We were interested in upgrading and extending our wireless network, revitalizing a home-wide embedded music speaker system, installing cutting-edge TVs as well as improving exterior networked camera coverage. Matt listened carefully to our needs, devised a plan that addressed them and then put that plan into action efficiently and with meticulous attention to detail. Moreover, Matt ensured that proactive measures were deployed without prompting so that our new system was flexible and expandable in the future. We cannot recommend this firm highly enough. You get what you pay for and these guys know their stuff. read more

Highly recommended! Matt was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I had Matt come out originally to add some 'wall fishing' to run one line of Ethernet cable from the basement to the upstairs office. He was wonderful about giving me all my options and in the end, he put in four different Ethernet port in different spots in my house. I have both home computers hard wired, my television hard wired and an extra port for possible expansion. He also moved my model to a more central location which gives me better wifi coverage. Finally, he moved my cable receiver which saved me the $50 Comcast would have charged to come out. He moved all the furniture, vacuumed and left the house clean. The work he did looks great! I'm very happy with his work and would recommend him to my friends. read more

I wanted to install my 50" plasma tv over the fireplace and connect a 7.1 sound system for home theatre. I called up Matt and despite his tight schedule was there by 7pm the same day. I told him upfront that as part of remodeling work my contractor might do the work and I may not need his advice. Not to worry, he gave me lot of useful advice and questions to ask the contractor. He also followed up with an email quote the same night before midnight since I was meeting the contractor the next day. He was not pushy in selling me his services I ended up using my contractor but I was thoroughly impressed with the promptness and honesty of Matt. If I were to make some changes or have any future needs, I would contact Matt first. read more

Matt of "Hook Me Up Solutions" did great job installing new security system on exterior home which is then monitored on TV and computer. The installation required special tools that needed to be rented to get the rock done. I have stone siding and Matt concealed all exterior cables plus a full 360 degree coverage. He suggested IP cameras for a clear picture and I can see everything so clearly. Having an eye on my house gives me ease of security and comfort. Already caught 'two bad neighbors' messing in my yard and cats pooping in my rocks, must think I have a giant kitty pan. Thank you Matt, well done!!!

I called hook me up solutions to mount my t.v. on my wall. Matt answered the phone himself and was very informative. He asked me questions about what I wanted and a few details about my home and gave me a rough estimate over the phone and said he can be more precise when he comes to do the install. He was able to come in the next day and mounted my t.v. Matt really knew what he was doing and was able to finish the job in 3 hours and it looked great and all the wires are hidden in the wall. He also stuck with his original quote so there was no surprises or hidden fees. I highly recommend Matt with hook me up solutions for any tv stuff! read more

Hook Me Up Solutions did the wall mount installation and cable routing for my new 65" flat screen TV. During the consultation for the project, Matt offered us a number of options and recommendations - laying out the advantages and the cost, so that we could make the best decision for our needs based on our budget. Matt is a consummate professional - whether working with his customers or instructing / coaching his employees on the job, he makes sure the job is done right. If you are looking for a friendly, professional company that treats your home like their own then give Matt at Hook Me Up Solutions a call! read more

I called Matt when I was having trouble with the audio on my home theater system. Having purchased the components from different places, I was getting the runaround from the manufacturers. Matt instantly knew what was wrong, and told me that the Yamaha receiver and the Samsung TV don't always "play nice" together. He offered to come out at 8pm that evening (great service!) or I could purchase a cable and told me how to connect it myself. I chose to do it myself, but I would definitely call him without hesitation if I needed help with my system again. read more

It's always hard deciphering truth from fiction on Yelp, but Hook Me Up Solutions is great. Matt and his team are totally legit. They were on time, professional, very courtesy and polite. What really impressed me was his patience and knowledge for all our questions. It took me a few weeks before deciding to go with them and I am happy I did. He provided good opinions and sound advice when it came to choosing the right equipment. I am very happy with his work and would recommend him to anyone. read more

This guy knows his stuff! I had Matt come out and hook up my receiver to my surround sound. He is very professional and he even dusted my TV stand. Great service and reasonable pricing. He was prompt and knowledgeable. He programmed my remote and showed me exactly how to use everything. I will definitely use his service in the future. I highly recommend Hook Me Up Solutions! read more

This company earned my 5 stars for sure! They are not only great at their skill, but their customer service is amazing. They are just good honest people who take pride in their work. I am a new business owner myself and I have had several bad experiences with other companies that we hired through the start up of our business. Hook me up was in a class of their own. We loved them. read more
