Custom Home Theater & Smart Home Installation in Salt Lake City

From Avenues plaster to East Bench basements, I design it, wire it, and tune it myself.

Salt Lake is a mix of hundred-year-old homes and brand-new ones, and they need different approaches. In the Avenues and Sugar House it's plaster walls, brick, and no attic to speak of. On the East Bench and in the newer infill homes it's basements and open floor plans. I take on both, and I'll tell you up front which kind of job yours is.

I'm based in Utah County, work in Salt Lake regularly, and don't charge a travel fee to get there.

Residential only: homeowners, home builders, and basement finishers.

Local notes

Old walls, new builds, and everything between

Custom home theater in older Salt Lake homes usually means the basement: thick walls and small windows make a good theater room, and the unfinished mechanical space next door gives me a way to run wire without opening plaster.

For smart home work, I install wall control panels and keypads so lighting, audio, and the theater can be run without hunting for a phone.

Cameras and networking are steady work everywhere in the city, from brick bungalows to downtown townhomes.

What I actually run into in Salt Lake City

Security Cameras in Salt Lake City

Salt Lake is two cities stacked on top of each other, and camera work reflects that. Up in the Avenues and Federal Heights you've got 1900s brick homes with plaster walls, no attic access to speak of, and porches that face steep, tree-lined streets, so I'm running exterior conduit clean along trim lines and picking lenses that don't blow out under a single old streetlight. Down in the newer downtown builds and the Sugar House and Daybreak-style developments, the framing is easy but the HOA rules and shared exterior walls are not, so I plan camera placement that covers your driveway and package drop without pointing into a neighbor's window.

If your place is in an HOA neighborhood like Daybreak or one of the newer East Bench developments, I'll aim cameras to cover your property without crossing into a neighbor's yard, which keeps you off the HOA board's radar.

TV Mounting in Salt Lake City

Salt Lake has two kinds of walls and they fight you in opposite ways. The pre-1940 homes in the Avenues and Marmalade are lath-and-plaster — the studs are real full-dimension lumber, they're often spaced at odd intervals instead of a clean 16 inches, and plaster crumbles if you drill it wrong. A $30 no-name mount and drywall screws will pull straight out of that wall with a 65-inch TV on it. I use toggle-backed lag anchors into the actual framing, and I drill plaster slow with the right bit so the face doesn't blow out.

If your place was built before the 1950s in the Avenues or Marmalade, tell me when you text — plaster-and-lath walls take extra care and I'll bring the right bits so I don't crack your original wall.

Salt Lake City: common questions

Home theater and smart home questions from Salt Lake City homeowners. Anything else, just text me.

Do you offer custom home theater services in Salt Lake City?

Yes. I design and install custom home theaters in Salt Lake City, including the Avenues, Sugar House, and the East Bench. Most projects cost between $15,000 and $60,000, and you get an itemized quote before work starts.

Do you install smart home control panels?

Yes. I install wall-mounted control panels and keypads that run lighting, audio, climate, and the theater, along with the one-app setup on your phone.

Can you mount a TV or run wire in a plaster-and-lath wall?

Yes. It takes the right anchors into the studs and more care than drywall, so it's quoted at $100 an hour. I'll show you the wire path before I start.
