I found out about Total Tech AV from Yelp, and got through to the owner on my first call. Jordan the owner was friendly yet very fair in his quote.

Fortunately the new TV, a Samsung, was able to use the same mount as the LG it replaced. The technicians were personable and skilled.

Port City Sound and Security

Everyone beware. My…read moreexperience with Port City Center during a major renovation was deeply disappointing and remains the single worst part of the entire project. They operate strictly as order takers and plug and play installers not designers, not system thinkers, and not problem solvers. There was no meaningful effort to understand how the system would actually be used, no optimization of what was being sold, and no evidence of technical mastery beyond basic installation. What was ultimately delivered was poorly specified, incorrectly configured, and difficult (if not impossible) to properly service or program. Even more concerning, there appeared to be little understanding of the equipment they were installing or how it should function in a real world environment. The result: a significant amount of money spent on systems that were either unnecessary, inappropriate, or never fully operational, and ongoing frustration trying to make them work. If you are looking for a partner who can thoughtfully design, program, and support an integrated system, look elsewhere. This was a costly mistake, and I strongly recommend others avoid repeating it.

*Update: The owner called me and we spoke about my situation. They addressed my concerns and we…read morecame to an understanding. I had a terrible experience with this company due to their complete lack of pricing transparency. I scheduled a technician to reprogram my remote for a new receiver, expecting a minor service. I was shocked to receive a bill for $271.51! At no point during the scheduling or service process was I given an estimate or informed of any potential costs. I contacted the company to dispute the charge, as I would never have agreed to the service at that price had I known. They eventually offered a meager $50 discount, which I reluctantly accepted just to be done with the situation. This company's practice of performing work without disclosing pricing is unacceptable and a complete rip-off. I strongly advise looking elsewhere.

In the past 1.5 years I had to call you tirelessly for you to repair the horrifically dysfunctional home A/V system that had 23 episodes of disrepair costing us more than $7,000.00. Your most recent estimate for yet another $2,202 -- was to finally repair the lemon AV system you installed. Unfortunately you could not be bothered with our never-ending repair calls. The end result was your refusing to repair our system because "You did not feel comfortable with how you were being treated?!!!" We did all we could to be loyal customers in spite on the constant aggravations with repairs, and invasion of privacy. You both will learn some basic business lessons the "hard way." I'm so very disappointed in your disrespectful behavior -- especially when you know I have acute back and neck pain causing sleep depravation.

He left a mess everywhere. We were cleaning up small pieces of copper and trash for days. Even after I pointed out the mess he was making, his response was "oh my trash box has a hole in it." Did he bother to clean it up? Nope. The job was simple - replace regular switches with smart switches. To say the job was over his head is an understatement. At one point I had to step in after he wasted hours of time (which I got billed for) and redirect him before he went crazy. And instead of calling for help and having a more experienced tech help, he just painfully attempted to deal with it. Once he lost it, the job went down hill from there. He replaced switches I didn't want replaced and the hole project turned into a pathetic mess. For example he put a switch in a spot that never had a switch to start with... I had to hire another electrician to come in and fix the issues they created.
