Malibu wired is by far the best contractor that I have worked with since purchasing our home in Studio City. These guys use the best brands and have the the most high tech, state of the art equipment available. The home we moved in to had old outdated equipment. Vladimir and his team were able to utilize some of the existing wiring and completely update me with the latest cameras and Control4 home automation system. I now have an amazing setup with multiple rooms having home theater style audio systems. Since our initial meeting we have also added the Rachio 3 smart sprinkler system , 15 high definition outdoor cameras , Wi-Fi door locks on the from door and rear gates, multiple control4 switches and really awesome true audio outdoor speaker system with a 10in subwoofer buried in the ground - the sound is unreal! But beyond all the tech and sound Malibu wired has incredible attention to detail. At the end of each day they take time to clean up the job site and I'm not talking about sweeping the dirt in the corner. The guys made sure It was just about perfect, even better than how it was before they arrived. These guys are pros and it shows in their work. If you are looking for the best in Automation/AV/home theater look no further than Malibu Wired. read more

There is a reason all these reviews are from a long time ago. There is a reason that people feel good about getting a new system. I was partially happy because I had never experienced automation like this before that being said what was promised by Tommy and what was delivered wasn't the same then Vladimir and Tommy parted ways. Here I sit 5 years later and I have to buy an entirely new system (tens of thousands). They don't even work with the company they sold me anymore. They want to charge me to even look at my system and what isn't working when they can easily access it online through the app to see it is shut down. They won't respond unless they are paid. The system they sold me was apparently old when it was installed and it had a bad reputation for breaking down. This is why I highly recommend you go elsewhere. Just show you shiny objects but don't back them up!! I have to say Tony & Mheir the techs bent over backwards to help but the equipment that was put in wasn't quality and don't back it. This was all just a money maker for them (to generate house calls, subscriptions and upgrades). Beware! FYI. Don't trust them each person you talk to promises something different and it never happens!!! read more

These guys did a great job. The project was really complex and now I can finally say thank you all.

We hired this company last week and we had the pleasure of having Yarik and Tony as our technicians. They are truly GENIUSES. I've never met people who are so professional and knowledgeable in their field. They have come for four days in a row now and our home is finally coming together. Their installation skills are flawless. Everything looks so good! Thank you Malibu wired for hiring such top notch technicians. Everyone we've worked with from Malibu wired the last few days have been honestly amazing. Mher has also been amazing. He's been here every single day since Thursday and so lazer focused on his work. All of them have been so hard working and have gone above and beyond and exceeded our expectations. read more

MALIBU WIRED- you won my heart!! Andrew is the most sophisticated system designer I have ever met. He showed up promptly and spent the entire day with me going through every detail of my home and explaining to me details of the system. He was very knowledgeable and patient. He answered all my many questions very thoughtfully. He's so personable and down to earth. He even was able to squeeze me in to start installation quickly. I am going to refer him to all my friends. Truly the best sales experience because of Andrew! read more

My company just recovered over $824,000 that was lost to some online scammers all thanks to this pro hacker cyber ethiical hacker from the United state I promised to paste his contact all over the net so if you need help, contact cyber files on his EMAIL- (cyberethiicalhacker @ Gmail com). He rendered me a personal service of cloning an entire cellphone within 12 hours, I could monitor the entire phone on my computer read more

Andrew and his team always work above and beyond expectations. I have enjoyed their work from start to finish. And if I ever need a question answered, Andrew responds so quickly. Our home has never sounded so good. Of course it's a great thing to upgrade in general, and everything came with an explanation, every component was installed with care and deference to our needs. Truly, these are the nicest guys. I highly recommend them. read more

I contacted this company to have them do some work on our smart home and to improve on some of the hardware but after an in-home assessment they never got back to me!!! I was told they would and was hoping to have them take over our system bc they are so close to home but as a result of their lack of communication I've decided to go with Gizmo, another local company that provides the same service. I gave Malibu a chance but I was so disappointed in their lack of communication. When you have a smart home you understand the importance of prompt response from a company and Malibu did NOT provide such service. read more

Horrible customer service. Starts from CEO down. They upsell you all day long and when it doesn't work never follow up. Andrew will be your sales person who seems like he knows stuff. Only to find out it never works. Do yourself a favor don't hire these guys. read more

Malibu Wired is a professional and knowledgeable group to design and manage your AV and IT aspects of your home. We would highly recommend them. read more

Always responsive. Incredibly competent technicians and support. July 5, a Friday, of course they answered the phone and immediately provided trouble shooting. Great Control4 partner read more

We bought our home in LA having relocated from NY - we used Savant Systems equipment in NY, and they recommended Malibu Wired as a preferred dealer in my new area. Tommy, Vladimir and team did a bunch of work for me - TVs, security cameras, lighting, thermostats, and security system/gates, all tied into a new Savant control system which I can control remotely since I travel a fair amount. They did an amazing job! As with all these complex installations, they ran into the occasional problem along the way, but (a) were always responsive, and they came and went as they said they would, (b) didn't stop until things worked correctly and were set up the way I wanted, and (c) didn't nickel and dime at all - the price was the price. Highly recommended! read more

I couldn't find anyone that would come out and set up the Control4 system that had been installed in my new house. The original installer wouldn't even return my phone call. They had some ideas for upgrading the system, as I would expect. But some of the ideas seem very worthwhile and in the meantime my system is up and running after their visit! read more

I just had Malibu Wired/Vladimir completely redo the Audio/Video system thoughout my entire house. THEY WERE FANTASTIC! I have had way too many wiring tech disasters and it is such a breath of fresh air to finally be working with professionals that are at the top of their game. It is obvious that they are on the cutting edge of this technology. They were always on time, curtious, efficient and more than happy to take as much time as needed to get the job done and make sure I knew how to run my new and involved system. I am a Real Estate agent and now feel very confident to recommend Malibu Wiring to all my clients which is a big deal because any recommendation I make is a direct reflection on me! I used my new system last night and it was amazing. read more

Awesome company with Great customer service. I have mostly used them for installation of Survilance cameras throughout various properties. I had them install these cameras on over 9 of my properties around USC area and it's been one of the best thing I have done. I made a mistake of going with a competitor on one of the properties and that was a mistake. Vlademir was courteous enough to switch the service at a discounted price and now this company is doing all of our properties and more to come. Two of their service people Yari and Viktor are literally second to none. They got my vote 100%. Always ready to assist when we had issues with wifi or other related issues they were a phone call away. Thank you guys. M. Oliver K. read more

After months of intensive research to do a custom high end control 4 installation system I selected this company they did amazing job at my place I couldn't be more happy I never posted review before but there services was so incredible that I had to do it I highly recommend this company read more

I recently hired Skylink Communications to install a video surveillance system at my house and they did a fantastic job. All the video cameras and equipment were installed in a very clean and professional manner. The EyeMax DVR system they installed allows me to remotely log into the security system, via the internet, to search recorded footage or watch live feed. The system is great! They definitely go the extra mile to make sure the customer's happy. And if you run into any problems or have any questions after the work is complete they're very easy to get on the phone and quick to respond. They've also done a lot of A/V and home automation work for friends of mine and everyone's been extremely happy with them. These guys are great! You can't go wrong them! read more

I too am wondering who the people are who are giving rave reviews. Most of those reviewers are without a photo and have one review. That said, let this be a WARNING. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. We were promised a complete wireless home system - Sonos, Connect 4, etc. it has been 4 months and NOTHING works as it should. Each time (about 5 times) they've come out: Vladamir, Tom, and/or Tommie, they promise the world (that is after you've sent numerous text messages and emails (which they prefer over calling they tell you.) However when they are leaving saying everything works fine - the confidence they are NOT showing, should have been telling to me. But each time I fall for what they say. The recent visit, they changed our wifi name and password WITHOUT giving us any notice nor talking to us. We have three TVs and there is not one that works correctly. The Sonos sound system comes and goes. We have once again begun our text messages, emails, and phone calls over the course of a week. They are MIA. I wish we would have looked on YELP before hiring Tommie and Malibu Wired. He seemed competent with Vladamir behind...and the other crew. Lesson learned. Still trying to get our TVs working. Hope we do by the end of the year! Beyond frustrated. I thought people had more integrity than this in the day of social media and all. Common courtesy and customer service is not too much to ask, is it? read more

I am very glad I found Malibu Wired. After interviewing several companies to automate my house and add security cameras I selected MW based on their professionalism, experience and very competitive quote. Vladimir walked me through the whole process and suggested few cost saving tips. The entire MW team was extremely professional and completed all work within promised timeframe. I am very happy with my new automation setup and highly recommend Malibu Wired. read more

Vladmir is first class and did an amazing job of installing a control 4 system into my home. He explained the process and what was involved. He knows what to do to make it right. Most importantly he makes himself available to answer questions and is a straight shooter. I also want to give a shout out to Viktor who was an amazing super smart technician able to trouble shoot any challenges. The system is awesome and I can't say enough great things about Malibu wired. read more

PLEASE BEWARE! I don't know who's writing all of these positive reviews, probably the owners of this crappy business but they are BEYOND unprofessional! My first experience with them should have been a warning of things to come - BOY do I regret it now! Started out with a search on ServiceMagic to find someone to install 4 video cameras at my apt building in Hollywood, I promptly got a call from Vladamir, sounded like he was eager to come out and give me a free estimate so I booked it for Saturday at 1 pm, never showed up so I call him at 2;30pm and he said he was "sorry" but was at the aquarium with his family in Long Beach. I asked him why he didn't call me, he said he "forgot". I decided to look into other companies. A few months went by and I hadn't got the cameras installed yet due to finances so I went back to ServiceMagic and once again I get a call but this time from Tommie. I explained I would rather not do business with them considering how poorly I was treated by Vladamir and the complete disregard for my time. He apologized and offered me a "discount" for my troubles, he came out and gave me another estimate and after speaking with Tommie I felt better about going with this company. Three weeks later they come out and install the cameras, right off the bat I knew there was something wrong with one of the cameras at the back stairwell, it was extremely blurry and Tommie even acknowledged that this was not right, it should be a clearer picture so he has the guys come back out. These two guys spoke Russian back and fourth to each other and then called Vladamir, again speaking in Russian the entire time so I had no idea what they were saying but according to them - Vladamir was the "expert" and that he did not think there was anything wrong with the camera that it was the shadowing in the back of the building that was making the camera look blurry which I knew was COMPLETE rubbish considering that I had another camera in another area that had NO light and far more shadowing. A week later I have another camera malfunction over the parking lot, this time all I can see if a white ring around the screen, again the guys come out and see it and call Vladamir, this time Vladamir comes out himself and has the nerve to tell me that it is from the light on top of adjacent building next to us, I tell him there is no light on the roof of that building he insists there is, the next day I call the owner of that building and he confirms there is no light on the roof. I even went out at night and took pictures, NO LIGHT. I send Vladamir the pictures and I get NO REPLY FOR 4 DAYS, Tommie gets back to me after me calling and leaving THREE unreturned vm messages over a week and says they will replace. I make an appointment for them to come the following week at 11am, they show up at 4pm and when the guy shows up he does not have a ladder tall enough, funny because they had a ladder tall enough when the initially installed it! So they come back out and replace the camera ..wanna guess what happened next? The guy came out and said AGAIN that they forgot to bring a high enough latter! I told him I cannot take anymore time off work and they need to get this resolved once and for all! They came the next day 2 hours AFTER they said they would BUT they managed to replace the camera. So I have one camera that's blurry and one that has been replaced. Not even a few days after they replaced the camera over the driveway it starts getting static then a fluttering image! I call them and they don't have time until next week to see me so I email them video of what was happening. After calling several times and leaving several messages I finally write them an email explaining how completely unhappy I am at this disgusting level of service I am getting. I call Tommie and leave him a message and he writes me back an email saying he was sorry but they were at some technical conference. So the guys come back out and the tech acknowledges the fact that there is something wrong, he calls Vladamir and they start speaking in Russian which I cannot understand, so guess what they did? They go to the back of the DVR recorder and wiggle the wires on the back!! they say "that should fix it cause wires were just loose", I told him the wires were NOT loose as that was the first thing that I checked! In conclusion - I called them about 6 times and emailed them 3, I never heard back from them, they have never once tried to call or email me since then. I have 2 camers that are USELESS! This is NOT the end of this! I have documentation of EVERYTHING, the videos I took of the malfunctioning cameras, the emails with empty promises, the vm's! If anyone wants to see them PLEASE email me and I will show you myself! I just want to help others from being swindled like I was! MAYBE they are good at installing TV's, but they are horrible with cameras! Email me and I will show anyone who wants to see! read more

I have a moderate system that is just complicated enough to really have professionals tending too it. About two years ago it went down and what took me down was the controller. Now at the time, the dealer I was working with, which did a really great install, was not really helping me with my current problem. So I reached out to the manufacture, Control4. The Customer Advocate at Control4, Elliot was so personable and professional in helping me, he got me a new dealer, Malibu Wired and also was going to help with the problem with the hardware, which is Class A in backing up their quality. Vladimir of Malibu Wired showed up dead nuts on time and was able to exchange a power supply component in the controller, made sure everything was up and running and even save my programming "Project" into a file and saved it for future work and sent me a copy (something my original dealer did not do for me). This system is multi-room and had not been working all together for a very long time and you should have seen my face (as Vladimir saw it) as I heard all the components clicking on as he directed the system to come online. I had my jaw open looking up at the TV and ceiling as if God just spoke to me, I'm not kidding! Looking forward to working with them as I upgrade. I am up and running and I am very grateful to Malibu Wired and Control4. I am just a regular guy, I really don't do write-ups like this unless I really want some good folks to get the recognition that is deserved! read more

Skylink's licensed contractors came to do a wall installation my flat screen LCD TV, and I couldn't have been happier with the service. Setting up the appointment was a snap, scheduling was super easy, and then the contractor team that came to do the service was amazing: They were professional, on time, efficient, and friendly. Moreover, they did a great job with the install -- and even cleaned up after themselves. And the price was extremely fair. I had a very positive experience, and I'd highly recommend them for any TV installation needs! read more

They did a great job on my first house and that was the test. I moved a year later and wanted to go extreme on the Savant system through out the house. Hands down the best system for Apple base using. So I called Malibu Wired again and let them go to town on my house. What's great about them is that they do not sell cheap crap. Everything is A list gear. You will never find this equipment for your house in best buy or any other top line entertainment place. It took them a bit to get everything done cause it was a big job. At the end , the wife and I now have surround sound throughout the whole house and pool. Plus camera on front porch and iPad in almost every room to control that room. They will be doing my next house again. Thanks Vladimir read more

I bought a house in LA area but don't have a "network" yet so I used Service Magic to find these guys. Vladamir, Tommie, and Ivan did a great job. They don't nickle and dime you. They don't over price cables. They do a little extra above and beyond to keep you happy. Examples: Since I was running Ethernet and Coaxial cable from a central point in the house to various rooms, they ran double lines for me without making a big production out of it. I was a little tentative because they didn't test the Ethernet lines, so I asked Vladamir. He remarked that he has never gotten it wrong, but promptly went to his truck, got his test gear, and helped me label everything and never seemed frustrated with me. This was a small $1500 job (and $500 of that was speakers) and they still treated me like I was the only customer they had even though you know this is a boring, in-between jobs type of job for them. If you need work, call and talk to Tommie and he will get you going. Don't be intimated by Vladamir. I was and I didn't need to be. He can come across a little short on the phone or via email, but he is actually this really nice guy who wants to make you a customer for life. I plan to come back to these guys about this time next year with a bigger budget for some home automation I'd like to do. I hope you find this review helpful. Yelp has been really good helping me find contractors, a barber, restaurants, cleaners, and the like since I moved to LA, so I wanted to get on and start giving back. David read more

Wow, after 3 weeks, I suddenly got a text from Tommy and this is his advice to me - "If the appt was missed the mature thing to do it call and follow up, not go straight to the internet." So it is my fault for not following up on a missed appointment .... hmmmm Are you for real Tommy? you claim you lost your calendar but obviously you did not lose your text messages where we set up our appointment. But instead of apologizing, you want to start a pissing match. Good for you Tommy! I wish you great success in your business. read more

Skylink Communications did a great job! They came to my new house and gave me a great deal on TVs, AV equipment and a scalable home automation system. I say great because some of the other quotes I received were more than double their price. Not only were they prompt and reliable but they delivered on every single promise - in fact they even gave me a free itouch to play my music throughout the house. If I ever have any issues, I just call Vladimir who quickly helps me solve my issue. I have already referred these guys 3 separate times and all of my friends have raved about the great service and great prices. Call these guys for any of your A/V needs - you will not be sorry. read more

We entertain often and Vladimir and his team of associates continue to keep our home updated with the appropriate technology to get the maximum sound and clarity from our home theatre installation. The teams knowledge, creativity, and professionalism was amazing. I highly recommend Malibu Wired for your next install. read more

Just had a TV installed and some in ceiling speakers. Tommy did a great job organizing and scheduling the job and showed up on time. He quoted a price that seemed fair and I figured it would go up after the job was finished. Turned out to be exactly what he quoted. Vlad came out to oversee the install. He made sure everything was working. I changed my mind on a couple speaker locations in the last minute and they were very accommodating. I definitely recommend them for home stereo and tv mount installs! read more

Plain and simple, the customer service with these guys is absolutely horrible. Install work was fine but god forbid anything every go wrong with your setup. My advice is to RUN in the other direction form these guys. read more

These guys know their stuff and do a great job. I had a 50" plasma installed over my fireplace plus sound bar. It looks and sounds great!

We had our Control4 System installed by Malibu Wired. I found them on Control4 website. Tommy was our main contact person but during the installation process we got to meet Vladimir and the crew too. From start to finish Tommy and Vladimir were very professional, knowledgeable, punctual and pleasure to work with. Tommy gave us fair prices, started and finished the project at the promised day and even worked extra hours trying to fix some issue with our thermostat which was not related to Control4 (which he was certain of from the very beginning but never the less he spent his time trying to fix the issue for us). With zero attitude or complains. He never tried to sell us anything more than we needed, which was so refreshing (after dealing with so many other contractors who try to sell you anything you need or most certainly do not need). Always took his time to explain how everything works and replied in timely manner to all our emailed/texted questions related the project. We are very pleased with the work they have done for us. Everything is working great. They nicely organized the closet with all the wires that were not even labeled (our house was pre-wired by other company), cleaned after themselves and did a neat and nice job throughout the house (installing Control4 system on two floors, hanging 4 TVs, installing video cameras, upgrading internet network, installing home theatre and music system). I would definitely recommend them to my friends and family. Thank you Tommy, Vladimir and the crew! Looking forward to working with you again! read more

This company is great. Vladimir is trustworthy courteous and knowledgable. My wife found him through a friend when we were so frustrated with the old company we were using for our Control 4 system. Now our house works great, we understand how to use it - it's great. Vladimir always shows up when he says he's going to. He leaves the place spotless and he's even nice to our kids. Wish everyone who worked on our home was as professional as he is. read more

Vladimir was fantastic!! I'm a tech dummy and he super freaked my system. On time. Thorough. Awesome!

We just had our entire house re-wired. Malibu Wired did a great job. We are very happy with the service they provide. Reliable technology , they do call back almost instantly if there are any questions, overall very impressive service. Strongly recommend this company. read more

This business has bad customer service and left holes in my wall. They brought a grey mount instead of a black one. The owners promised they would come back and patch the holes and replace the grey mount to black but it never occured. Parts of my components still are still not hooked up and they never returned my calls. Go elsewhere. This company will jeapordize your stereo equipment. read more

dont use them omg dont..... i will be posting a very long detailed novella shortly
