Riviera AV helped move a 77" TV plus wall mount and Sonos Arc with such attention to detail and care, the finished product is PERFECTION! Without Kevin I would have had to watch my movers destroy my beloved AV equipment. Riviera AV just saved me by unmounting all their work and safely moving the TV, Soundbar etc to my new home. This is the 3rd time Riviera has exceeded my expectations. Somehow, they exceed my standard of perfection! read more

Riviera AV - 77" TV + retractable/tilt mount and Sonos Arc plus expertly hidden wires! - Home Network Installation Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Riviera AV was awesome to work with. Fair pricing, fast and clean TV install, and super friendly, professional guys. They even came back to help adjust the TV tilt afterward -- above and beyond service. Highly recommend them for TV, sound, or security installs in SoCal or Central CA. read more

The reason I gave them 3 stars is because they kept coming back . The reason for returning was due to the fact that they couldn't finish . We have them specifics as to what we were looking for . The owner came by and evaluated and said no worries , they could handle it . The job required hooking up 2 TV's , setting up a Sonos system that we updated to facilitate the working order of the equipment . 3 Google home pods; a DVD , VCR and 2 game stations . They came back 3-4 times as things did not work or they left a humble of wires . They ended up not coming back to finish the last Google home after saying they would and simply sent an invoice for work done . A suggestion , if you don't know what you're doing don't embark on the job hoping for OTJ experience . read more

We had a wonderful experience with the team at Riviera AV. We explained to Kevin, the owner, that we wanted a new surround sound system installed in our home. We really are not techies, so much explaining was done which really was helpful. The work was done quickly and efficiently by Kevin, Matt and Brian. These young men are fabulous and really know what they are doing. We love our new sound system! read more

I had an appointment with another company on a Friday afternoon, and when they canceled on me the second time, I was left trying to find a company that could come out ASAP to get my TV and soundbar installed. I came across Riviera AV and gave them a call on Friday around 4pm. I explained to Kevin what I was looking for and he asked detailed questions to understand what I needed for my project. When I asked about timing he honestly told me he was booked (which is understandable in short notice). However, not three minutes after we hung up, he called back and said he may have a solution and can make one of his guys available the next morning. He was able to set me up for the next day and he even postponed his plans for a Saturday morning to come down and get the job done. His availability, honesty, and "get-it-done" attitude is something that is hard to come by. He and his partner were professional, detailed, and gave me exactly what I wanted for my TV install in that room. I highly recommend hiring Riviera AV and I will be using them again for any other AV projects I have in the future. read more

Great communication, and timely responses. They did a great job of tuning my home AV system. Highly recommend!

Riviera AV helped our HOA wall mount a Samsung "The Frame" TV inside of our Recreation Room. They are A+ Quality and really know their stuff. They delivered on all the small details that we went over beforehand and then some. I highly recommend Kevin and his Team and I would not hesitate to call on them again in the future for our HOA's needs. His price was also very fair and reasonable. Thank you again for your help with our project and keep up the great customer service and quality! read more

Kevin and the team were excellent. They worked through a tough job at my place, drilling a complex triangle in our wall due to fire bars being placed inside the build. They were friendly, responsive, and kind. Treated our home with care and were attentive to things we cared about. Honestly, hard to not say they were perfect. Highly recommend for any TV mounting or other issues you may face !! read more

The guys at RIVIERA AV (KEVIN,MATT and BRIAN) are TERRIFIC!!! So knowledgeable, efficient, and so motivated to do it exactly as you want it..... And improve on that! I had them remove all my wired components and replace my surround sound and music with a Sonos system. Fantastic!!!! read more

I needed a TV mounted and cables run through a wall to a built-in media cabinet, so I reached out to these guys and they responded much quicker than the other companies and we're able to fit the project in on very short notice. The end result was professional and exactly what I asked for. They even helped carry down the previous media stand from our large flight of stairs to the garage afterwards. Reasonably priced and hard workers! Highly recommended! read more

I contacted Kevin after moving into a new home in the Goleta area, looking for someone to come out and check the networking of my new house. I am an avid video gamer and having a wired internet connection to my gaming PC is a MUST. Kevin and his crew came out and verified that our home (built in the late 90's) had adequate wiring to run the internet connection through a wall outlet in the room where the PC is located. Kevin was professional and every knowledgeable about his craft and his crew (sorry, I cannot remember his name) was very efficient and professional as well. Would recommend to anyone looking for help with home networking issues. read more

I had a small project but it was important it was done correctly. I talked him through the project on the phone and he was incredibly accommodating. He was incredibly helpful and understood what was necessary to make the finished project look neat and tidy. Cables that were loose and disorganized are now perfectly secure in their place and the new outlets are in the exactly where they're needed. Everything is technically correct as well, with proper bend radius, drip loops, caulking and slack where necessary. read more

Recently had them reroute my TV cables on my Townhouse that came loose and were hanging across my tile roof. They did a very professional job rerouting them under the eaves . I do suggest you get a firm price , prior to them starting the job. I was quoted one price and invoiced for a higher price. However we were able to work it out and compromise on an amount. All in all, a very professional experience with Kevin, the Owner. read more

wow wow wow. Kevin and his team are highly knowledgeable communicative friendly fastidious when installing your TV They will anticipate a variety of functional needs to consider when helping you figure out what mount to use and where to place it on your wall. Kevin has an astute understanding of current technologies and the systems and wiring needed to get your TV running well with your WiFi. Pricing was so reasonable I thought he made a mistake when he shared with me the total for installing two TVs. Kevin clearly loves what he does and it translates into high craftsmanship and a delightful experience for the consumer. Thank you Kevin!! read more

10 isn't close to how great these guys are. Efficient, trustworthy, courteous, friendly and more. They went above and beyond what we expected and learned so much. You can't find anybody better for any IT issues! Could not be happier! read more

These guys are awesome. Great communication, excellent work with the tv mounting and locating the studs. Will hire for future installs. Thank you!!! read more

Riviera AV - Tv mounted - Home Network Installation Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Kevin takes a ton of pride in his work and a courteous communicator. Everything was so efficient based on every service requested!

Was looking for support in mounting a new large flat screen and needed assistance with a bit of a tricky wire run and outlet installation. Was able to get a response from the team at Rivera AV within an hour and was scheduled the next day. The team showed up on time, prepared and friendly and completed the work with a top notch result. I would recommend Rivera AV without hesitation and will be having them back for some more work soon. read more

Kevin and his team are fantastic. Couldn't recommend them highly enough. They aided me with a tricky television install - a small job - but well more than I could handle. They did a wonderful job! read more

Kevin was prompt in getting back to me after I messaged him. He texted me when he was 10 minutes away. Very nice and knowledgeable. He assisted with my computer and dual monitors. I highly recommend him. read more

I was terrified when I realized that the 75" TV I bought was too heavy to sit on our media console, and was even more terrified to search for TV mounting companies online (that I'd never used). After seeing the great reviews about Kevin, I decided to give it a shot and WOW - I am beyond thrilled with the results. Kevin was kind and walked me through the process (he even let me text him some photos in advance), and gave me an accurate fair price estimate. When he arrived, him and his team blew me away with their professionalism and efficiency. They listened carefully to ensure we were getting what we wanted, and before mounting, made sure we liked the TV position. It was a tight fit in our small apartment space, but they made it work and result was a beautiful flat screen that we can enjoy forever. The thing that really blew me away was their professionalism and friendliness - they knew my husband and I were working remote while they were working and checked/alerted us before making noise to ensure it was ok and wouldn't be disruptive. In addition, they not only got our main TV set up (with molding), but were happy to help add molding on our second TV (after I asked if they had any extra!). Not only that, but we joked about some ethernet wire running on the ground, and they offered to fix that too! We were so happy, I wanted to give them both a big hug (but obviously didn't because of COVID). Last note - they are 100% COVID friendly, clean and incredibly kind. We haven't received this great of service in a LONG time, not to mention a HUGE weight lifted off our shoulders not having to stress about our TV coming crashing down. Can not recommend enough - they are the BEST. Thank you Kevin for all your help and saving our TV!! read more

Came out within the day to help me with my tv issue. Showed up on time and was very friendly and listened to my requests. Kept me informed on his arrival time. His team was very professional and worked quickly at getting the tv mounted and leveled! It made such a difference as the big box installer did not do it well and it would've been 2 weeks before they could get back out. Highly recommended and will be asking about installing smart lighting and security systems for our house. read more

Once again these guys came in and did there thing and finished the project less then an hour and set it up exactly how I wanted I was being picky but they reassured me it was no worry and got it done perfectly thank you guys highly recommend! read more

Kevin was very responsive and patient with my questions before the appointment. He and his team were punctual, polite, and orderly. It was clear this job (installing a Samsung Frame TV) was something they had done many times before. They communicated well and fielded my questions easily. They gave great advice and experienced, informed opinions on set up. Efficient but not rushed installation. Clean up A+. Very professional. Would use again and will refer! read more

Kevin and team did an excellent job hanging our new Frame over our fireplace where we had no electrical access, and where we wanted no visible cables. Kevin did a superb job understanding what we wanted and then he delivered exactly what we had asked for. He is timely, courteous, clean, and an excellent communicator. Also, his prices are reasonable. read more

I saw all the great reviews about Kevin and his team. Thought it seemed a bit too good to be true. Well, I can tell you the reviews are not overblown. They are great to work with, know their stuff, produce excellent results. We had them during the COVID19 scare and were nervous about having anyone in the house. Without any prompting or requests, they arrived with gloves, masks and shoe booties. If you need anything done with AV, Internet, Wi-Fi etc, don't hesitate to use them. read more

My housemate and I contacted Kevin at Riveria AV yesterday to find out how much he charged to mount our TV. We had contacted another business right before, and we were very impressed with the difference in communication between Kevin and the other business. Kevin was very responsive, professional, and reassuring. He fit us in less than 24 hours after we spoke to him and hung our tv this morning. Not only did he perform his job duties, but he made sure our wires were covered for aesthetic reasons and even helped moved our furniture back to the right spots. Great service. read more

Had an issue with my wall mounted tv, Riviera AV rearranged their schedule in order to accommodate my issue the very next morning. Did a very through service call. Would highly recommend. read more

I can't say enough good things about Kevin and Riviera AV! He was so patient in rescheduling my installation three times when Amazon lost the first soundbar that went with the new TV and kept changing the delivery date for the replacement. When it finally arrived on a Friday afternoon, Kevin made time to come to my house at the end of the day to complete the installation so it would be done for the weekend. Kevin took careful measurements and consulted me throughout the installation to be sure the final result was exactly what I wanted. When we realized we needed a longer cord for one of the connections he agreed to come back first thing Monday morning to complete the job. Kevin and the other installer were courteous, friendly and efficient. They put down blankets to protect the hardwood floors and cleaned up quickly when finished. They were also really nice to my dog :) Don't hesitate to call Kevin for your A/V needs! read more

Called to get a TV mounted above a fireplace. Kevin was extremely thorough in his communication when it came to measuring, the material he was drilling into, and finding the right anchors for the mount. He made sure to get confirmation before making any holes in the wall and explained what he was doing and why. They brought a blanket to protect the floor and a vacuum to clean up the area after they were done. Showed up on time, finished the job quickly, and super reasonable pricing. Highly recommend these guys. read more

I recently hired Kevin of Riviera AV to install a new tv mount in the bedroom and move my older large screen tv from the living room to it. Riviera then mounted a new large screen tv and soundbar to the existing tv mount in the living room. The work took longer than expected as they were unable to get the Samsung soundbar to connect to the new Samsung TV volume and talking to Samsung support was a waste of time. The conclusion was that even though both products were Samsung they were apparently not compatible. As a result, I purchased a newer version of the Samsung soundbar and Kevin was very accommodating, and fit me in to his busy schedule, and returned quickly to finish the job. In summary, Riviera showed up on time both times, took a lot of pride in their work and did an overall excellent job. Therefore, I would not hesitate to recommend Riviera for any AV work. read more

Just had Kevin install/mount 3 TVs at my parents home and we couldn't be happier with the amazing and custom work him and his guys did. Kevin is knowledgeable, down to earth and easy to work with. He is able to troubleshoot and provide cost effective solutions without compromising on aesthetics. Definitely would recommend and will be using this company in the future! read more
