I first used So Cal Installs way back in 2010 on one my second home It was a small job but Brandon accepted it and did a rock-solid job. Brandon treated the job like it was for his own home and I will never forget that. I love supporting small local business and its been awesome to watch Brandon grow thru the years. As the family needs have changed I've come to count on Brandon's expertise in all areas of home theater as we transitioned into larger homes and more complex jobs. This particular review is long overdue. Its been almost two years since I moved into my current home and Brandon did another clean job. One thing that's awesome about his service is his consulting alone is worth the price. I used to buy my equipment first but now I hold off to get his ideas on equipment, layout, etc. As life changes again, I'm getting ready for another move and feel lucky I have some one I can rely on to get the job done no matter how big or small. read more

SoCal Installs - Clean install no wires showing for audio, PlayStation and cable equipment. - Home Theatre Installation Near Me - San Diego, California

Dude knows his stuff! Total pro.. concealed all our TV and soundbar wires in-wall, and it looks great. Arrived on time, brought some help, got the large TV off the wall, and routed all the wires nice and tidy. Tight, finished, clean. Makes a big difference. Charged exactly what he promised. Came equipped with better cables too. Wealth of information, and generous with it. (Very COVID-careful.. all masks, all the time, no issue. We healthy and satisfied here.) read more

Branden did a fantastic job. No doubt he is a pro, nobody was more certain of their plan, and I called quite a few install services and handymen before I came across his information. So glad I did and I know who to call next time around. Electric needed to be run to hide the wires properly. Was done beautifully! read more

Brandon was great! He listened to my ideas, was responsive via email and text, worked with what I wanted, provided excellent guidance on what would look best, and accommodated all my requests to give me the perfect install. I had him install a Samsung Frame TV, hide the wires inside the wall, and also install a floating shelf unit under the TV to hide all electronic components. He nailed the no gap / flush mount of my Samsung Frame TV, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I also asked him to move the coaxial cable outlet to a different location so that I could hide it inside a storage closet, and he executed that perfectly as well. On top of all this, the price was affordable and very fair. Much lower than other places I looked into. I couldn't recommend Brandon enough. I don't write a lot of reviews, but when you have an experience this great - you feel compelled to let others know. read more

Brandon was great, as others have mentioned. He installed two tvs for us in Scripps Ranch. He moved one tv from a wall to above the fireplace. The installation was perfect and he patched up the wall as well. I was able to paint over it easily. He removed another tv mount from the upstairs bedroom and replaced it with a new mount. I paid a little more than I wanted to but that was my wrong expectation. Will definitely use Brandon again when I buy a bigger house in 2-3 years. Note: He also gave us great suggestions on how to set up our wifi with Google Home, and we took his advice. read more

This is the first time in a long time that can say that I can completely satisfied with any work I have had done. It was a surprise to me that it was difficult to find someone based locally that could do what we needed quickly. All I wanted was to move the 47" LG up stairs and replace it with a 55" Samsung 6350 covering less space on the wall. Scott & Brandon did a very clean no-wires showing wall mount - every one else including the Geek Squad would only hide the sat cable and power wires read more

What can I say, Brandon is genuine, professional and damn good at his job. I needed a TV mounted in my living room with an outlet installed on a wall 90 degrees from the wall where the TV was going. Brandon laid out his opinion for the best route and explained in detail his professional rationale for the decision. After that he was all business and worked quickly, and more importantly, in an organized and clean fashion. Patchwork was done professionally and you couldn't even tell he had touched the wall. Brandon cleaned up after himself and left the place good enough for even the pickiest wife (mine). Can't go wrong with Brandon. Give him a call. read more

Very skilled, and professional installation. Responsive, fair and transparent pricing, and a truly customer focused owner. Couldn't be happier with the installation of an 82" TV, and soundbar for my conference room. Highly recommended! A++ customer experience. read more

This review is written on behalf of Rudy Benavides which was a recent customer of SoCal Installs. "I originally arranged Geek Squad to install a 75 inch TV in the living room and 55 inch in the bedroom. They delivered the TV and saw the height of the living room which was over 20 ft high and at that point, they refused to install." "I contacted Brandon (the owner) the following day and he came out and did the complete installation within four hours." "As you can see it was a very unique location. He did an AMAZING job. Super friendly and very professional. I would highly recommend his company." read more

Wow, so incredibly happy we went with SoCal Installs. He showed up, with the mount I needed for my TV, setup, knocked it out, and cleaned up within 2 hours. First of all, the craftsmanship on the home was impeccable. We rent and our Landlord is in love with her home, so getting her to be ok with this move, cutting large holes in the wall for the cords then drilling more holes in the wall to mount the tv, was no easy feat. Once she saw the finished results, she trusted us enough to let us hang a couple other things around the house ;). Plus his rate was extremely competitive and when he was done, he said it wasn't as much work as he anticipated, so he gave me a discount. That's class. Seriously, his eye for detail is what made this such a successful install for us. Thank you SoCal times a million. PS. sorry this took so long to get up, it's been crazy around here. read more

It's no wonder socal installs continues to get 5 stars. They came recommended from an art hanging company whom I trust wholeheartedly. We texted an agreed upon time, he was prompt, very nice and made great recommendations on placement and logistics. The tv looks awesome and he went above and beyond in concealing the wires. I left him alone and went to work and returned to an awesome install. They definitely deserve all the 5 star reviews. read more

We wanted to mount a tv on our fireplace and weren't sure if there was brick behind the face of ours (which most companies said they wouldn't install on if this was the case). Brandon was very honest about the cost differences and said either way he would get the job done for us. Turned out there was brick behind and he was able to still run the cables through the wall and get the plugs installed behind the tv, along with an extra one on the ground behind our entertainment center. All around great work, we love the way it looks! read more

SoCal Installs - Our tv is curved so if it looks off center it's just the angle of the curve haha - Home Theatre Installation Near Me - San Diego, California

**This is high quality work at a very reasonable price** We have a weird 80's style nook that our TV barely fits in; and it's really low, so the kids are always messing with it and the components. Decided to have the TV & Sonos playbar placed above the gas fireplace about 4' away, and keep the components elevated inside a media chest in the nook. Brandon and his assistant came in and meticulously executed this job....they know exactly what they are doing. My favorite part about this team is they were very respectable in our home. They are clean and personable - we immediately felt comfortable with them in our home with our family and belongings. It was very much a pleasure doing business with these guys. read more

Brandon was awesome! Very helpful, professional and definitely knows what he's doing! We had our tv mounted over the fireplace and it looks terrific! Couldn't be happier! Thanks!!! read more

Brandon was very easy to work with and schedule with! This is actually our 2nd install with him. He was in and out in less than 2 hours. We needed longer cables to achieve our desired look and he had extras with him. Our TV looks amazing on the wall! Look no further if you are looking to have your TV professionally mounted! read more

SoCal Installs - Perfectly mounted TV! Thanks Brandon! - Home Theatre Installation Near Me - San Diego, California

We have tried other businesses to wall mount a TV and conceal the cables behind the wall, with disastrous results. Since finding Brandon, we have used his services twice - both with excellent results. If you care about a good job, without damage to your home or equipment, try Brandon. He will spend time to find the right solution - which may not necessarily be the quickest solution. read more

Brandon did an outstanding job mounting my TV above my fireplace. He was prompt and very competitively priced. He actually found a random live wire that had been left capped in the wall by the previous owner that he went ahead and removed as well (that could have been a fire hazard). If you're looking for someone to mount your TV and hide the cables in the wall then look no further. I'm very likely going to hire him again to do the same job up in my home office as well. I'd say that's the best sign of any business and that is the willingness to refer and to hire again. Best part was he was very genuine and I didn't feel like he was jerking me around trying to nickel and dime me. He was very clear about the price up front and that's exactly what he charged me after the install. read more

Brandon does excellent work. I would absolutely hire him again without any hesitation. Brandon mounted a TV for me above a fire place which was covered in tile. He was able to complete the job in 3 hours. He is extremely professional, respectful, and courteous. I would give him six out of five stars if I could. Thank you Brandon! read more

Brandon does a great job. We couldn't get the install I wanted and the install took forever, but it wasn't his fault. Price reasonable.

I'm not sure what more I can add to the numerous excellent reviews, but I'll give it a shot! I called Brandon on Saturday to see what his availability was to mount 2 flat screen TVs. I was more than pleasantly surprised when he told me he'd be able to schedule an appointment for Monday. His communication with me was flawless. When he arrived, I showed him where I wanted the TVs mounted. I had only planned on mounting one of them, so I only had one mount. Luckily for me, he had one in his truck and he charged me just over what he paid for it. This saved me from ordering an additional one and hence, not requiring another installation date and added expense. If you're mounting more than one TV, on the same date, he gives you a discount. I also had an Apple TV and Amazon Fire Stick I wanted to connect. Not only did he install both of them for me, he also took the time to program them & show me how they worked. I'm not the most technically advanced so his help with this was priceless. It's not every day you hire someone who does more than just what the initial call was for. I cannot recommend Brandon highly enough! read more

Brandon did a kick-a$$ job mounting my television (65 inch) and sound bar. It turned out way better than I expected AND at a very fair price. He took into account that I also wanted to hang floating shelves at some point and measured out the television against the wall to accommodate that future purchase so it would look "balanced". The set up is seamless with all the cords and cables hidden (exactly how I preferred); Brandon was able to install a new outlet behind the tv as well, and he set up the tv/cable/sound bar to sync with one another. The man is a true professional in every essence. read more

SoCal Installs - Excellent job, Brandon! - Home Theatre Installation Near Me - San Diego, California

We had a great experience with So Cal Installs. We moved into an new apartment that had an inlet/cove above the fireplace for your TV, however our 55" LED TV would not fit into that space. The space was also too deep for standard mounts to have enough arm reach. Best Buy wanted to charge approx. $650 for the mount and an install for this space. We could buy a new TV to fit into the space for that amount. It is an apartment, not a home and not worth $650 to install a TV onto the wall. With So Cal Installs we only paid approx. $250 for the mount and install. The team that came out, included the owner, Brandon. They were professional and did a great job. I would definitely recommend using So Cal Installs vs Best Buy. read more

When you want it done right, leave it to the pros. Our new home's layout and my husband's love for huge TVs required not one, but two 55" TVs to be installed on the wall. We made the appointment and everything sounded professional starting from the phone call. The day of the appointment came and they were done promptly and neatly. I was impressed. They provided mounts at a very reasonable price, along with cables and accessories needed. Don't hire just anyone for things like this, because it could become a headache. Hire the specialists. If (when) my hubby gets another toy to mount ...SoCal installers will be the ones we'll be calling for the job. read more

We would highly recommend using Brandon from SoCal Installs for installing your tv. He mounted the TV, the sound bar and hid all the wires .Very knowledgeable and competent, gave us some tips on using our new TV and some great advice on cutting the cost of cable. Great service. KENT & Marge read more

Just moved into a new home and wanted to mount my TV in the living room. I did look into doing it myself but I am no Bob Vila and I wanted it to look good. Brandon and another gentleman came out and did an excellent job. They kept me up to speed on exactly what they were doing and gave me some very helpful suggestions. They showed up on time and ended on time. We even talked a bit of football too. I really appreciate that sort of service. If you're nervous about mounting your TV yourself or just want it done right I would highly recommend using SoCal Installs. I know when I get a bigger TV I'll be calling them again! read more

Brandon just mounted our 55" TV above our fireplace and we are extremely happy with his work! Very communicative, willing to work with us and great at solving problems that came up! We will definitely be using him in the future! read more

Dave and his crew installed the wiring for my 5.1 sound system and projector. Even though the layout of the home was as unwelcoming as it gets for any kind of wiring, they still found a way to run the cables - they're completely invisible. All that in record time, and on budget. I should technically dock them one star due to communication issues - several times, my calls and emails would not be answered for three days. However, once they were on site, the work they performed was nothing short of five stars. read more

I had Brandon mount two T.V's for me and I couldn't be happier with my choice. He was very easy to work with and had great pricing. While he was in my house he was very friendly and easy to talk to which makes having a complete stranger in your house much better feeling. I am so happy with his work that I just called him to mount a new TV that we just bought. I would recommend and have to anyone that needs a Television mounted. read more

After an in house consultation with Magnolia (Best Buy), I was given a ridiculously astronomical quote to install two TV's in my new home. According to them, the lay out of my house would make it very challenging for them to hide the wires in my walls. Thankfully a friend of mine referred me to Brandon (So Cal Installs). Not only did he absolutely blow away Magnolia's quote by about 1/10th of the cost, he got the job done quickly and professionally. The guy even met me at Best Buy and spent 2 and half hours helping me pick out the right TV, sound bar, and accessories. To top it all off, he hung all of my guitars! Talk about going the extra mile to satisfy a customer. read more

Awesome job! This is exactly what I wanted! I was not sure who to go with but in the end I chose SoCal because the owner, Brandon, does the work instead of just someone who works at a company. He did a great job. This TV is mounted exactly how I pictured it. Thank you so much! read more

I can't say enough good things about Brandon and his work. It's been a few months since he mounted our tv over our solid brick fireplace, a job not many would do. We had other companies offer some ridiculous solutions for hiding the cables on a solid brick fireplace, in the end it was obvious only Brandon knew what he was doing. We couldn't be happier with his work. He was very professional, and very tidy despite all the dust that comes along with a job like this. His prices are also very fair. I would highly recommend him, especially if you're worried about protecting the aesthetics of your home. If we have another tv to mount, we're calling SoCal without a doubt. read more

Im writing this review for my father and his experience. Brandon delivers superior experience and knowledge. He is very affordable and friendly/professional. He took my fathers call the other afternoon and helped walk him through setting up his remote over the phone, no added cost and it wasn't a short phone call. He has helped us with a number of projects, and he will help us with more in the future. Brandon is your go to guy read more

Brandon agreed to install a new 75" Samsung TV on the wall where our Pioneer Elite 55" Plasma hung for 15yrs until it shut itself off. Brandon agreed to pickup and install the TV the next day. We purchased the TV at Costco where Brandon agreed to meet us at 2:30. Brandon arrived a1/2 hr. late at 3:00. He laid the TV down in his truck (we could have laid it in our Bronco but thought it had to remain standing up?) and delivered it to our house 5 miles away. He quickly unpacked everything, removed the existing wall mounted TV, commenting that the Dual Swing Arm Wall Mount (PDS2081 costing $599. in 2004) was probably worth more then the TV now. He searched around in his tools and could not find the right size bit for his drill, so we provided him one. He had difficulty locating the studs to mount the new brackets, making several holes behind the screen. My husband needed to help him mount the large TV on the bracket, which seemed to be a problem. He took several calls. He connected the TV to the DVD player using the preexisting accesses and outlets. He could not get the existing external speakers to work or the DVD player. He coaches his sons team and ran out of time, he was gone by 5:30 pm. Before he left he gave us a bill for $400. He explained it broke down to $100 delivery, $250 for installation and $50 for cables, for 2 1/2 hr job which included his phone calls, delivery time he charged $100 for and time packing up & writing up the bill? That was not what I expected. The main reason for the #2 rating is because we cleaned up after he left and the $599 mounting bracket was no longer there. We had all of the boxes and old TV still in our house?? I called Brandon and asked him to look in his truck for the Dual Swing Arm Mount. He told me he didn't have it and it was a 15 yr old piece of junk and he NEVER takes old brackets when he leaves, as a courtesy he checked and it was not in his messy truck. We thought it was trashed but amazingly the Pioneer Elite PRO1110HD TV was repaired. Picture quality is still better then the new Samsung Ultra 4K Q-LED we bought, although the new technology in the Samsung are far superior. We want to give it to the friend who correctly installed the speakers and DVD up to our new TV but unfortunately we no longer have the wall mount for the Plasma-TV. Brandon swears he didn't take it. I do not believe him, it is not here??? Brandon is not the quick, efficient installer he claims, his services are expensive, he is impatient and argumentative and our old wall mount was nowhere to be found after Brandon left. read more

Just wanted to update my review as we had these guys come out again to our home to install a TV and sound bar. They did a fantastic job and the drywall patching was perfect. You'd never even know there was a whole there. He was quick and cleaned up. He is always our guy for TV installations. read more

My girlfriend and I just moved into our new apartment and getting our tv installed was very important to both of us. I contacted Brandon and he came out the next morning. He was extremely fast with the process and the price was very fair. He even gave my girlfriend some tips on how to save money with our cable and WiFi. The TV looks better than we thought and we are extremely satisfied with how fast and efficient he was. Thanks again Brandon we are stoked about our new setup! read more

I have to honestly say that Brandon did an awesome job with my 65 inch and 42 inch TV. He's pricing was reasonable, did clean work with my wiring and was very flexible with my hectic work schedule. Got to give this guy a solid 5 stars for his work. I would recommend him if you need TV mounted. read more
