Home theater, smart home & AV services
Everything I install for Utah homeowners and home builders, with real starting prices on every one.
I'm Cameron. I design and install home theaters, and everything that connects to one, across Utah County, Salt Lake County, and Park City. Labor is $100/hr, most small jobs are a flat price, and bigger projects get an itemized written estimate within 48 hours.
Residential only: homeowners, home builders, and basement finishers.
The main event
Home theater
Dedicated theaters, basement media rooms, projection, and sound. This is most of what I do.
Home Theater
From a family-room upgrade to a dedicated 4K Atmos room.
- In-home walk-through and a design built for your room, not a package
- 4K laser projection or the right TV, sized to your seating distance
- Surround sound tuned by ear and by meter, not just turned up loud
Basement Theater
Turn the unfinished side of the basement into the best room in the house.
- A layout for the screen wall, seating rows, and speakers before framing is final
- Speaker wire, HDMI conduit, network, and power roughed in while the studs are open
- Projector and screen (or the right large TV) sized to the room
Projector & Screen
4K laser projection on a 120" screen, mounted, wired, and calibrated.
- Screen size and projector throw distance worked out for your room
- Ceiling mount into framing, with power and HDMI run inside the ceiling
- Fixed-frame, motorized drop-down, or ambient-light-rejecting screens
Surround Sound
5.1, 7.1, or Atmos with speakers in the walls and ceiling, tuned to the room.
- A speaker layout matched to your seats, not just the studs
- In-wall and in-ceiling speakers, or towers if you prefer the look
- One or two subwoofers, placed and tuned so bass is even
Around the house
Smart home, audio, WiFi, cameras & TV
Everything that makes the theater, and the rest of the house, work better.
Smart Home
Lights, locks, thermostat, theater, and cameras on one app.
- Smart thermostats, lighting control, and door locks
- Scenes and schedules that fit how you live: Movie, Goodnight, Away
- Theater, audio, cameras, and WiFi tied into one system
Whole-Home Audio
Music in every room and on the patio, on speakers that disappear.
- In-ceiling and in-wall speakers that blend in
- Independent zones: patio, kitchen, primary suite, garage
- Outdoor speakers built for Utah sun and snow
WiFi & Networking
Kill the dead zones. Built for 4K, work-from-home, and a full house.
- A network designed for your home's size and walls, not a guess
- Wired access points or true mesh, placed where they actually cover
- Coverage that reaches the basement, garage, and backyard
Security Cameras
4K cameras that show a face at night. No monthly contract.
- HD and 4K cameras with true night vision
- Placement that covers doors, driveways, and blind spots
- Local recording or encrypted cloud storage, your call
TV Mounting
Dead level, wires hidden in the wall, no anchors pulling loose.
- Mounted into studs or proper backing, not just drywall anchors
- Wires run inside the wall for a clean, cable-free look
- Fireplace, floating, tilt, and full-motion articulating mounts
LED Lighting
Warm, even, cool-running light that makes a house feel finished.
- Under-cabinet, toe-kick, and shelf lighting
- Stair, hallway, cove, and accent lighting
- Theater step lights and sconce scenes
Building new
New-construction pre-wire
For homeowners building and the builders and basement finishers building for them.
Pre-Wiring
The cheapest time to wire a house is before the drywall.
- Coordinated with your builder before drywall
- Cat6 or Cat6A network drops to every room that needs one
- Speaker, theater, and TV-location wiring roughed in

Questions I get all the time
Straight answers. If yours isn't here, just text me. I don't mind talking it through.
Who installs home theaters in Utah County?
Cam's Custom AV installs home theaters across Utah County, Salt Lake County, and Park City. It's owner-operated: Cameron Chidester designs the room, runs the wiring, installs the projector or TV and the sound system, and calibrates it himself. The business is based in Springville and has been operating since 2020.
How much does a home theater cost in Utah?
Most home theaters I build cost between $15,000 and $60,000. A living-room upgrade with a large TV and real surround sound starts around $10,000 to $15,000, a dedicated basement theater typically runs $25,000 to $40,000, and fully custom theaters run $75,000 to $150,000 or more. You get an itemized written quote before any work starts.
What areas do you serve?
I'm based in Springville and cover all of Utah County, Salt Lake County, and up to Park City and the Heber Valley. That includes Lehi, Saratoga Springs, Eagle Mountain, Vineyard, Provo, Orem, Highland, Alpine, Draper, Salt Lake City, Park City, and Deer Valley. If you're a bit outside that, just ask.
Do you only do residential work?
Yes. Cam's Custom AV is residential only. I work for homeowners, home builders, basement finishers, and remodelers. I don't take commercial jobs.
Am I working with a big company or an actual installer?
You're working with me: Cameron, the owner. You'll text or call the same number every time, I'm the one who shows up and does the work, and I'm the one you reach if you ever need a tweak later. No call center, no rotating crews.
What's your labor rate, and how do you quote jobs?
Labor is $100 an hour, but most small jobs I quote as one flat project price so you know the number up front. On bigger projects you'll get an itemized written estimate within 48 hours, with no hidden fees.
How fast can you get me a quote?
Text or call and I'll usually have a quote back to you within the hour during business hours, Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM. Bigger projects get an itemized written estimate within 48 hours.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Cam's Custom AV is a licensed Springville business (City Business License #5089319) and fully insured, and I'll send a certificate of insurance on request. Your walls, floors, and equipment are covered while I'm working.
Can you work with my builder or basement finisher?
Yes. I coordinate directly with your builder, finisher, or electrician, do the low-voltage rough-in after electrical and before insulation, and come back after paint for the install. Call me as soon as you have plans.
What happens if I need something adjusted after the install?
Just reach out. I stand behind my work and I'm local. If you need a preset tweaked or something moved down the road, I'll take care of you.
