Plasma Tv mount and shelving

From the first email conversation Wayne showed true professionalism. He wanted to know as much detail as I could provide. When he arrived he had floor mats, a vacuum and removed his shoes... this showed me he really wanted to take care while he worked. Through out the installation he asked me for input and explained why he was doing what he was doing while providing suggestions. He took extreme care while he concealed all the wiring, ensured everything was level and after he cleaned up he took additional care and cleaned off the 50" screen.

There were no hidden costs at anytime. He was upfront and honest throughout the process. I would recommend him to anyone and we are actually having him come back this week to mount our 50" 3D tv.

Thank you Wayne... very impressed.

TV and Home Theatre Installation

I am extremely happy with Wayne and HomeSmartZ. I had a large 60" TV installation; A relocation of my older 40" plasma Tv, both requiring brackets and my home theatre system needed to be reinstalled. Wayne is very thorough, meticulous, very knowledgeable, great work ethic and very prepared for any situation installing the TV. I needed the installation to be set up for easy use for some of my family that hates modern technology. Once Wayne installed all the components he spent the time to configure the system so anyone can use it with ease. Very much appreciated as everyone is very happy with the ease of use. I highly recommend Wayne for TV and home theatre installations. Don't buy the brackets as he will save you money as well.

Home Entertainment Installation

We needed to install our electronic equipment over our fireplace which had a 20 inch deep display area which needed to be closed off so the Television could be flush with the fireplace. We were also worried about where we would place all of our electronics in this very small space. We thought we would have to hire someone to close off the display area with drywall and studs and someone different to install the Television and electronics... but then we found Wayne. Wayne saw our vision and did an amazing job creating the perfect entertainment center for our small space, he knew exactly what we were looking for. His workmanship went far beyond my expectations and he took the time to do things right. I would have to say he is a perfectionist which is exactly what you want when you hire someone to do a job in your home!! Not only did he do a perfect job, but he had many useful recommendations when it came to selecting electronic equipment in our budget that would fit in well with our room and space. Wayne made our family room look amazing and we love coming down to it every morning!! Wayne is extremely polite, considerate, and professional, and his rates were very reasonable. I would highly recommend Homesmartz to anyone, and if anyone would like ask me any questions about it or see some pics, please let me know. Thanks Wayne!!

TV wall mounting, surround speaker installation, and set up.

Wayne installed four flat screen TV's plus in ceiling speakers for my main surround sound system. I was very impressed with Wayne's expertise, knowledge and overall work ethic. He was very meticulous and had many great suggestions of how to improve my setup, he is truly a pro at what he does. He kept coming up with ways to save me money on the install but never skimped on the quality of his work! I cannot say enough about Wayne, I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs his expertise. His price was very fair and reasonable and his quality of work the best I have ever seen!! I was so impressed with Wayne's work that I actually gave him a tip!!

Wall Mount and Sound Bar

Wayne has in-depth knowledge on the latest audio and visual products. He provides outstanding, professional service with a personal touch. He went well out of his way to accommodate my crazy experience and overall nightmare for a 60” Samsung LED. I dealt with a defective unit that had to be un-mounted for pickup and a new one remounted on separate days. Wayne didn’t hesitate to give me a helping hand to take down and hang my new TV and practically charged me nothing for this.
He has outstanding quality and pride in his work and is very detailed and precise. To be honest it’s like he’s hanging something in his own house and has a lot of price in his workmanship. My wife couldn’t believe how careful he was with everything and loved the fact he brought his own vacuum and cleaned everything up. She also loved the fact there was absolutely NO wiring AT ALL and he used wonderful faceplates for all the wiring that was run. His HDMI, soundbar brackets, surge protector power bars and audio cables saved me a ton of money and are exceptional quality. Overall Wayne provides amazing service.

Projector, speaker wires

Wayne did a wonderful job on installing the projector in the basement. He also installed some speaker wires and calibrated the sound to get the best surround sound possible. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. Great job.

Wall mount, sound bar, system setup

I was very impressed with Wayne. On his first visit to our home, he explained the process involved and provided us with several options/ recommendations with regards to setup. Before he came to install our unit, I had several question via email and he was quick to response. On the day of installation, Wayne did not rush the job. His work is accurate, clean and was constantly communicating with us. I would recommend his services to anyone ... THANKS A MILLION WAYNE!

Mount Surround Sound Speakers and optimize home networking

I stumbled upon HomeSmartZ on Kijiji when I finally decided running speaker wire through my post-construction walls was no task for me. I called Wayne who was pleasant to deal with right from the get go. He stopped by my house within hours of my call to take a look and provide me with an estimate. While he was looking around the house, I came to realize Wayne also provides home networking support. I'd been experiencing lag in that department so also asked for him to add optimizing my home networking to the work order.

On the day of the job, Wayne arrived on-time and well prepared for the task ahead of him. Wayne provided all of the hardware (Mounting brackets, wire etc.) My home was no easy job (No easy access points, irregularly shaped room etc.), but Wayne had all the tools required to complete the job. I'm extremely satisfied with the Speaker set-up. Wayne also provided post-install support and configured the system to sound great in my room. As for the networking, Wayne moved the location of my router (Office to Living Room), and created a network jack from an existing cat5 phone outlet. All of my Audio/Video components are not set-up via network hard-wire (All hidden), so no more lag when streaming. My Wifi is also better than ever thanks to the now central location of the WiFi router.

I would recommend Wayne and his services, without hesitation! I will use Wayne and HomeSmartZ in the future, that is certain.
