Incredible, professional service! Tony is an amazing installer, and Brandon is a world class business man. They are the most reasonably priced AV installer in SoCal, especially given the quality of work. They mounted my TV, hid the wiring in the wall and installed a Ring doorbell camera for me. I will be using them for all my home needs and recommending them to others! read more

Brandon and Tanner were amazing! They communicated clearly, were super thoughtful in planning, and made sense of the messy wiring in our older flip home. Brandon built a plan around our budget and goals, pointed out smart upgrades, and was honest about what we could skip. Everything feels safe, functional, and customized now. Couldn't recommend them more! read more

Thank you so very much for your professionalism and honesty. Some fine tuning and adjustments to my existing system made all the difference. I am very grateful. read more

The work Brandon did was excellent, so quick and efficient. Hanging two TV usually take a couple hours, he was done within 1.5 hours. He removed and old 49 inch TV, relocated a 65 inch TV to the bedroom and hung a brand new 75 inch TV in the living room. I am definitely happy with the work. read more

My wife and I reached out to several businesses to get quotes for mounting our TV and soundbar, but after a couple of minutes on the phone with Brandon we knew we'd found the man for the job. He answered all of our questions thoroughly, listened to exactly what we wanted done, made great recommendations that steered us in the right direction, and his pricing was fair. On the day of the job, Brandon was so meticulous and professional -- for example, he went out of his way to mock up exactly where our TV would sit on the wall, helping us to pinpoint where everything would look its best. When he had to drill into our drywall, he cleaned up all the dust, probably leaving our place cleaner than he found it. Everything turned out great, and as a bonus, he made several suggestions about our home network and streaming setup that I've already implemented, and sure enough, it's made a big difference! Thanks for everything! read more

I'm writing this review after remaining silent for 2 years on the 'service' I received. I did this out of decency, because Brandon did give me a partial refund, and I respected that and wanted to avoid drama. But, I've reached out to him recently regarded an upkeep issue, and been greeted with absolute passive aggressive contempt and unwillingness to help in any way, so here is the full picture of what happened, caveat emptur: I had a dolby atmos system installed in ceiling. It involved installing the speakers and hiding several cables, then of course getting the system working correctly. Long runs of cables, AV receiver connects, etc. Brandon is extremely skilled at organizing the cables and troubleshooting the mounts. I can't fault him on that, and if you are looking for a simple mount, he's your guy and you will probably love him. See, I'm pretty fair, huh? But here's where the job went south. First, Brandon didn't really understand the concept of Dolby Atmos. He was in WAY over his head- I had done days of research, and he tried to gloss over the importance of positioning, and nearly put the front and back height speakers within TWO FEET of each other. To the point where the angle of the sound wouldn't make an appreciable difference on aural imaging. It was a lack of knowledge and a rushing mindset: if I didn't know my stuff regarding sound (Audio Degree, lots of AV forum and reddit perusing), I would have simply gone along with his plan. It would have seriously detracted from the efficacy and POINT of having a high end audio system in the first place. Why spend all that money on speakers if they aren't lined up properly? Brandon couldn't admit what he didn't know how to do, and this is my main recurring complaint with him. He's a builder who thinks he's an architect; he's a plumber who thinks he's a Water and Power Executive. He's a fairly bright guy who thinks because he's smarter than 80 percent of his competitors that his touch is the magic touch and the customers should shut up. Be wary, because he's a bit of a smooth operator. But let me continue. After I kept quoting my research until he finally agreed to install them in the best possible way, he continued with the job, mounting them as directed. Then we got to the set up phase. It was late in the day on day 2 of the install, and he wanted it to be OVER. So he glossed over the wiring; he connected everything, but when he left and I tested the sound, it wasn't really what I was expecting. Something was off. So I went into the menus in the AV receiver, and he had actually mis-wired and mis-labeled over half of the system. The set-up process allows you to verify each speaker is playing its appropriate role in the system (e.g. that a front right height speaker in the AV interface is in fact the speaker that is installed in your ceiling, towards the front of the system, on the right). He'd botched this, so fronts were operating as rears, sides were operating as fronts, etc. It was an aural nightmare! Again, who wants to spend this kind of money on gear and install just to have it absolutely butchered! So be warned. I painstakingly fixed it myself, not something I wanted to have to do for hours after that cost. But I got everything to line up. Last issue on that job: he fixed the drywall so poorly that Never. Even. Dried! I'd press my thumb into it and it would make an indent into the wall like putty! See the photos- it was hysterically funny what a 'Micky Mouse' job it was! He didn't know how to patch it, or mix drywall. He probably told me it wouldn't be perfect, but he'd match it as well as he could, but the issue is he didn't put up a WALL to fill the gaps, he put up SILLY-PUTTY! So, I ended up getting a partial refund for this, probably like 20-25 percent of the job. But, of course I had to hire a drywall pro to fix it, so I really didn't recoup that much. To recap: Brandon took on a job to install an intricate and technical Dolby Atmos System, he tried to cut corners on the placement (which is the ENTIRE POINT of Atmos), and he DID cut corners on the wiring, making the system ineffective without me fixing it, and he also totally botched the drywall repair, which made my living room look like an Architectural Frankenstein's Monster. This job was 1000% out of Brandon's League, and he took it on anyways because of the paycheck. As a customer, you don't know what you don't know, and poor, sloppy, lazy labor like this can easily slip through the cracks and just RUIN a system and negate the reason for installing it, because most casual listeners or movie lovers don't know what the system should be, and can't really tell if the sound is right or not. Brandon possesses many of the mounting and cable management skills for simple jobs, but not the nuanced understanding to solve complex audio problems, the patience to learn, or the willingness to admit what he doesn't know. For simple mounts, he's your guy. For high end stuff, look elsewhere!!! read more

Brandon is the guy for the job. Quick, prompt, efficient, professional, and cares about his work. I had him mount two 60+ inch TVs... one CONSIDERABLY older and heavier than the other. From giant swing mounts to flush mounts, it was no problem & he made the wiring look good. He took measurements, did math problems, and was helpful with figuring out where everything should go. He even mounted a large piece of art above the fireplace that would have taken me hours. Better prices than anyone else and an overall great guy. Look no further- you've found your guy. By the way- mounting TVs is the least of what he can do, when I need my house automated, I know just who to call. Thanks again for the great job and professionalism. Will recommend to friends and family. read more

Called this business to get cameras through my home and business. Brandon came out the very next week and installed for three days. He never complained and was always respectful and polite. He also was telling me about things I didn't even know about my own home. The cameras are installed completely professionally and hidden. Even the cameras that are noticeable, the cords and wires were hidden. He is easy to work with and even works with you about budget of types of cameras. He recommended some things for me and even told me where I could get it at the best price. I have 100% no complaints for or about him. read more

Update a couple months after my initial review. We absolutely love our setup. We had company over recently to watch the Grammys and then the Super Bowl and I can't say enough about how cool is it to watch special events on our giant screen, with surround sound. It really makes the party and everything is working great! read more

When I first moved to LA in 2012, Brandon came and hung my tv. He noticed my entire apartment was pretty ghetto rigged with wires everywhere and about 5 remotes. He made a one universal remote for everything, hid my wires, made sure my TVs and speakers were hung and anchored properly (I'm very scared of earthquakes knocking my TV onto my sleeping body!) and was super reasonably priced. I've moved four more times since and I use Brandon every time. Thanks again, read more

Brandon's awesome!! Knowledgeable, friendly, quick replies, good recommendations, fast, professional, great customer service, and just a nice guy all around. Will definitely use his services again. A+ read more

I've always set up my own TV but figured it was worth the time to look someone up and have it done for me. I came across Brandon on yelp and I was not disappointed. He was on time, clean and very professional. You can tell he knows what he's doing. He made sure my whole set up was perfect before he left and that's hard to find these days. I highly recommend him and will definitely be using him in the future. read more

Brandon came out and removed 3 tv's and rehung 3 others in about 2 hours. He did a great job and was very reasonably priced. I would absolutely call him again for other av needs. read more

Brandon came to the house a day after I reached out to him about an outdoor speaker system. He dug deep into what exactly I was looking for. I knew of a couple of must-haves and threw out some what-ifs. Coupled with the detailed questions he asked, he pulled together a proposal that spoke to exactly what I'd dreamed of. Installation began as soon as the speakers, amps, etc. arrived. All of the installation - hardware, wires, etc. - was so professional and even wires for the speakers are nearly invisible against our pergola. Bonus, he's just the nicest guy. Fantastic job and great value. Would we hire him again? We're already talking about another potential installation! read more

Nailed it. Brandon showed up on time, was courteous, even chilled with my 3 yo for a minute. He didn't try to upsell us a bunch of stuff, rather steered us away from wasting money. The job was a swivel mount for large TV, and it's perfection. He also looked at a few other network/wiring questions I had and gave some good advice (at no charge). All this with not knowing we're builders. I'll be using him up for future projects no doubt. PS. The whole on-time thing might not sound like much, but I've dealt with more contractors than I can count, and about 5% are on time. read more

I can't say enough positive things about Iron Lion and Brandon. He was very quick to respond to my inquiry made on Yelp. I recently requested quotes from four companies to mount my new 65 inch tv. He was the quickest to respond and we're glad he did. His prices are completely reasonable for his expert services provided. Everything was done very quickly and neatly, with no mess left behind. His knowledge goes way beyond the simple mounting of a television and he's answered questions that I've had after the job was done. You will get an education about technology that comes along with his service. His company offers way more than the typical tv mounting companies out there. Home security, networking, surveillance and audio visual are just some of his areas of expertise. If you're finally ready to step into the 21st century, this is the guy to call, you'll be glad you did! read more

Very responsive, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. Our AV set up is perfection and super clean. Highly recommend!!

Brandon is a superstar. If you need help with home theater equipment and installation, he's definitely the guy to hire. He assessed what we wanted, made equipment recommendations, installed our system and walked us through so we knew how to use all of the new technology. He's always prompt and professional, his prices are totally fair, plus he cleans up any mess created by his installations. I would give 100 stars if I could- definitely highly recommended! read more

Called today, Brandon proved to be exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable about our internet/home theater system and spent time advising me on how to address problems, and did this without any commitment to service our system. Clearly this is a company that "service" means something, and I will use them at the first opportunity. read more

Brandon was on time, professional, and knows his stuff! Would definitely hire him again!

So I needed to have two TV's mounted in my apartment. It consisted of taking one TV off of a mount and replacing it with another TV and then mounting that TV on a new mount. I got a quote from the same place that mounted my TV the first time and to do what I asked was going to be way too expensive. So I did a Google search and found Iron Lion A.V. I requested a quote and Brandon got right back to me. He gave me his number to call and I explained what it was I needed. He said he do it for cheaper than I was quoted. I booked the appointment and not only did he go above and beyond with my TV mounts by re-working my cable, buying the materials I needed to hide the cords and keep it neat and finding cheaper materials that I needed but he also made sure that I was completely satisfied with what I wanted by asking questions throughout the mounting process. If I could give 8 stars, I would do so. This is who you need to hire. Period. read more

Simply the Best! After numerous issues with big box retailers missing appointments, and giving me the run around I googled local audio and video installation and Iron Lion A.V. popped up. Right away I noticed the great looking customer photos of clean looking installation and their pricing which was very comparable to the big box stores that I had previously dealt with. I sent a message to Iron Lion A.V. from their website and was quickly contacted by Brandon. He was very polite and asked me questions to determine exactly the scope of my installation along with what equipment I currently have so he could properly quote me on the job. I ended up not having a few cables that were needed due to the height of where I wanted my TV to be mounted, instead of leaving the site to buy cables, Brandon had brand new cables at all lengths with him that I was able to add to the total cost of the job making it a seem-less experience. Thank you so much Brandon and Iron Lion A.V. for being very professional, on time and making my home theater not only look good and sound great but easy to work with my new universal remote control! (the wife loves it) Save your money from the big box stores and support small business like Iron Lion A.V.! read more

I reached out to several company ALL RIP OFF, EXCEPT THIS GUY!!! FAST RESPONSE, ON TIME, HONEST, REASONABLE & RELIABLE!!! Hung my 60" TV like a pro & didn't try to rip me off like the other guys. Highly recommend & no need for other quotes. Been there n done that! If you need your TV mounted, don't look elsewhere. Thanks again!!! read more

Brandon at Iron Lion is amazing! Helped me install my new 65 inch OLED display and it couldn't have been more painless. Total professional and great price. I will be using him for all of my installation needs in the future. read more

Outstanding! We had a problem with an ethernet connection and Brandon diagnosed and fixed it within hours of our calling him. He's super competent and efficient. It's so nice to get help from someone who knows what he's doing! read more

I first started using Iron Lion AV and Brandon about a year ago. He installed my tv's for my new home. Then from there Ive used him to create outlets, install outdoor speakers, create landscape lighting, install smart switches and various other things. Brandon is extremely professional, reliable and honest. I literally send him an idea or my vision and walahhhh he comes by and delivers exactly what I envisioned plus more. I will forever be a Iron Lion A.V. customer. If you have any home entertainment, wifi, lighting, cameras or lighting needs I would absolutely recommend Iron Lion A.V. read more

I just thought I would add to all the other glowing reviews. Brandon is a very professional installer and does good work. He removed my original surround sound speakers and replaced with an RSL speaker system (great local company) including Denon receiver. He then reconnected all my peripherals and calibrated everything.The job took longer than we both envisaged but his price was reasonable and he was neat and tidy. Highly Recommended ! read more

I was looking for someone that would be willing to come to my house and troubleshoot my turntable volume issue. I thought it was a receiver problem but I wasn't sure. Brandon was quick to respond and was interested in coming to see what he could do to help me. It's not easy to find someone who is willing to troubleshoot turntable issues. He reviewed the settings that I had on the receiver and tried different settings to increase the volume. It was better, and he spent a good deal of time discussing with me the different types of equipment that can be used with a turntable. He suggested that I might be happier with a standalone turntable amp that has adjustments for bass and treble and it's not integrated with the all encompassing AV receiver which doesn't easily allow for tone adjustments. After he left, he texted me several times over the next hour with additional thoughts he had about the sound level of the turntable. He suggested that I not activate the preamp that I had just gotten for over $300 and connect the turntable directly into the AV receiver. Instantly there was a resolution to the Turntable volume issue. His persistence in mulling over this issue was crucial to the resolution of the problem and allowed me to return the preamp since it seems I got bad advice from a previous tech advisor about needing it in the first place. I'm still considering a standalone turntable app but at the moment I am very pleased with the quality of the sound I'm now getting from my vinyl records. Brandon works by himself so it's not a big company with big overheads. He's pleasant and considerate. He's easy to talk to and kick ideas around with. He is a rare find, in that other people in this line of work do not want to do small projects and certainly don't want to deal with turntables. I feel comfortable recommending him to people who need help, tweaking their home audio system, and particularly if they have turntable issues read more

Brandon showed up on time, was clear and understood the project, kept me up to date on decisions and did an amazing job. We couldn't be more thrilled. Don't hesitate to hire Iron Lion, Brandon is passionate about his work and he's overall a super nice guy. read more

Can't recommend Brandon enough. Spent time cleaning up our media closet and reconnecting our surround system. Provided recommendations on what I would need for my optimal setup. Was super quick and cleaned up after he was done. His prices were on point and I'll definitely be calling Brandon for our future home audio and network upgrades. read more

The best!!! Brandon responded to my request very quickly. He told me exactly what things would cost, he communicated through the whole process. I was just moving in, so things were hectic on my end but he was GREAT about any curveballs. Really nice, reliable, professional and prompt. Definitely the way to go. read more

Bought a 55" Samsung and thought I'd give it a shot and mount it myself. Bought all the required tools and it turns out, like most men, I'm not has handy as I thought I was. Requested a quote on a Sunday morning and by Sunday afternoon my TV was mounted. Brandon was quick, friendly and professional. I highly recommend! read more

Where to begin? Brandon was without a doubt, the best installer I've ever used. I've had multiple TV's and theater systems throughout the years and have dealt with installers of various quality. Not to mention that he's a great guy, extremely personable and full of valuable information. PROS: - Responsive with communications - On time - Rates were much cheaper than competitors - Takes massive pride in his work (finishing plates, constantly vacuuming, cable management, etc etc) - Knows his stuff. He really does. Listen to his advice when purchasing equipment as he will not steer you towards the most expensive system but what really works for your room. Why get a gigantic surround sound system in a room/apartment where you cannot utilize it? - The result of mounting a 65" OLED and connecting 3 sources (Xbox One X / Apple TV 4K / Sony 4k UHD player to a Sony Atmos soundbar was flawless. HDMI master cable was installed in the wall (with finishing plate) as well as a power plug (with finishing plate). Super clean install, everything was measured to ensure proper height, distance, etc etc) CONS: - None. Nada. Zilch. I cannot recommend Brandon enough. Consummate professional read more

Brandon is a no nonsense professional and highly efficient and ethical with lots of patience to answer my many questions. The installation of my 65" LG OLED TV was done cleanly and neatly and you can tell Brandon is very customer service oriented, arriving on time and responsive. I would highly recommend him for any video/audio installation projects. read more

Brandon did a great job mounting 2 tv's in my house. I am going to have him back to do a wi-fi overhaul on my entire house!

I contacted Brandon for my cable installation since I just recently moved in to my new place and he was kind enough to txt me back right away and somehow explained to me over the phone some possible ways on how he can help me even if it was late night already.We set a schedule of visit the following day,he showed up on time.This guy is not just after the money though I know its business but he definitely has a passion on what he does.Very reliable and respectful.Professional and kind.I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends. read more

Honest, Fair price and very professional. Had him come to the house for 3 TV's. All came out perfect and was finished within a couple hours. Highly recommend! read more

I needed my TV and audio wiring (in and out of the wall) to be cleaned up and Brandon did a great job! He and his team were prompt, communicated well and left my house spotless! Brandon was transparent on the time it would take to do the job, and he met his estimate. The price was as we discussed before hand. I would recommend Brandon and Iron Lion AV for a new home theater installation, or upgrade to their existing system. Thanks Brandon! read more
