Thermostat & wireless network

Wayne is AMAZING!!!
On his first visit - he was called to fix our NEST thermostat but ended up fixing a bunch of other problems we had. What a bonus!
The thermostat wasn't hooked up properly and he had it all figured out and working correctly in 10 minutes! Then when I mentioned issues we had with our air ducts, he made some suggestions that had that problem solved very quickly too. I then mentioned an issue with our wireless network and with some investigation on-line and trial and error, our network had much more range and stopped cutting out.
On his second visit - we called him back again because we were having issues with our wireless network again - only to find out that we had unplugged a vital component, but while he was here we discussed the possibility of hardwiring our Android box.
We loved the idea and Wayne hooked us up in about an hour. Since then, things work PERFECTLY.
I cannot say enough good things about Wayne and the service he provides. He is VERY smart, provides options for every budget and his pricing is extremely affordable.
I am so happy that he lives close because when we redo our basement, he will be the one we call to do all the wiring for the electronics and sound system.

Re-Routing of Cable for New TV

Wayne brought some new cable into our family room above the garage so that our family could enjoy our new TV. He also cleaned up the messy cabling job in the room done by the previous owners.

Wayne clearly knows his stuff. He achieved exactly the result we were looking for, and his work is super neat, clean, and professional.

He even took a significant amount of extra time time to help us get our new TV all setup and configured (for no additional fee), which we were not expecting.

On top of all this, Wayne is just a really personable, down-to-earth guy who is a pleasure to deal with. No nonsense - just outstanding quality of work and attention to detail.

I'll definitely be contacting Wayne again when I'm ready for some additional services like home security cameras, Ring video doorbell, etc.

If you need any kind of home theatre or security camera services, Wayne's your guy. All the awesome reviews you read here are the real deal. You won't be disappointed with Wayne.

Minimalist over the fireplace TV with wireless Sonos speakers

Wayne knows his stuff.
I wanted fairly extensive work hiding a previous hifi on addition to the current TV set up, to hide all wires & cables.
Excellent and meticulous work with attention to all details and cleanliness.
Wayne also helps with special pricing on the TV & Sonos surround system.
He also offered extra solutions for the home internet network.
Price below is with 65' Sony XBR & Sonos system (where most of the cost went).
Very happy & highly recommended.

Home Theatre System & 4 Nest Security Cameras.

Wayne from Home Smartz was absolutely amazing on the installation of our Nest home security system 4 cameras, as well as hooking up our home surround system with smart remote! I couldn't be happier. Price he quoted was bang on to the work done no surprise to the cost of installation and equipment. I would highly recommend Wayne from Home Smartz.

Wall mounting of TV with hidden cables and power source

Wayne was professional, courteous and completely prepared. He completed a full install of a TV, recessed power source and soundbar, with cables, in less than 4 hours. There was no clean up for us and he demoed all the features of the new setup. The price was right and we couldn't imagine better service.
