Perfected Innovations has perfected the craft of ripping people off!
Unprofessional and did not deliver what was promised. Overcharged and took advantage of a senior citizen that did not know better. Full on Bait & Switch!
At the end of the installation I knew something was wrong when they told me the final price was nearly $1,000 to simply mount two TV's. They did not explain any extra charges "upfront" and I never authorized them to do extra work nor agree to pay extra. Only at the end, they convinced me that they had do all this extra work, so I reluctantly paid them. I contacted a property inspector (not a competitor) to come to evaluate their work and confirm my suspicions.
Here is what happened;
Perfected Innovations did not arrive prepared. They had to go to Home Depot for screws and then charged an extra $85 for the screws and stud backing even though I purchased a bundled "all-inclusive" package. The stud backing was not installed as claimed, but charged for. They also told me there was a structural steel column behind the wall where I wanted the TV mounted and they could not drill into the wall. Instead they said they would need to install an articulating arm mount that I did not even want or agree to pay extra for. Found out there is no structural column behind the wall exactly where I wanted the TV to be mounted in the first place and now have cables running across the floor to the TV which is installed in the corner of the room making it difficult to view from my bed which is in the center of the room. The builder of the condo has the original cable outlet in the center of the room exactly where the TV is supposed to be installed.
I contacted them to come back and run the cable behind the wall (which again is supposed to be included in the package price) and they said it would cost another $280 to do this. I also contacted them to address all of my concerns stated here and they completely blew me off.
Here is a summary of extra charges that were supposed to be included in the package:
$180 extra for the articulating arm mount.
$85 for screws and backing.
$38 for an HDMI wall mount, again this was supposed to be all inclusive with the package I purchased and not an extra.
$40 in extra labor fees
Overcharged sales tax by 1% and ALSO charged sales tax on labor.
Bottom line, they charged nearly $1,000 to install just TWO flat screen TV's (one 40" and one 48") with poor workmanship and exposed cables running across the floor. See photos!
Avoid at all costs!!! Use a professional company and not fall for their all-inclusive packages and "extra" bogus charges.
Also reporting them to the State Board of Equalization for tax fraud & the BBB.

Reply to your ridiculous rebuttable:
This not a case of a "bad apple". This is a review from a legitimate customer with a valid complaint.
I am a small business owner as well and would not treat a customer like this. If you had simply replied and addressed my concerns, none of this would be happening right now. Ignoring a customer and instead just replying with lies to a valid Yelp review from a real customer is absolutely terrible customer service. This is not the way to run a business. Your rebuttal is comical and shows how bad your customer service truly is.
Photoshop, really?!?! I don't even know hot to use Photoshop and what would be the point? I just posted another photo showing both the TV and the cable box and wires which you claim I removed.
Why would I slander a company? What do I have to gain? I am not a competitor; I am a customer posting a valid review. If I were abusing the chargeback system, I would have initiated a chargeback for the ENTIRE amount. When you IGNORE customers, Yelp and disputing a bill are a LAST RESORT. Wake up!!!
You're missing the point! An articulating mount was NEVER requested or ordered!!! The agreement was to simply hang 2 TV's with your flat screen installation package, NOT have an articulating mount hung in the corner of the room off to the right where I have to turn my neck to watch TV and it looks like a hospital room. You lied about not being able to hang the TV in the PROPER location, which is directly in front of the bed, in order to charge more, take advantage and upsell to me. The TV can absolutely be mounted right where it is supposed to be (directly in front of the bed, not in the corner) with no exposed wires. You padded the invoice with extra charges that were totally unnecessary so that you could make more money. Now you want an additional $280 on top of the nearly $1,000 paid to come and hide the wires, which was supposed to be part of the package in the first place. Your customer service or lack thereof is absolutely atrocious. You were nice before you got the money...but then afterward, you blew me off hoping I would just go away. Just TERRIBLE!!! read more
