Structured Wiring · Residential
Network, theater, audio, and camera wiring run through open studs, labeled, and ready for whatever you add later.
$150–$250 per drop
If you're building, this is the one to get right. The cheapest time to wire a house is before the drywall goes up, so I work with your builder to pull speaker, network, security, and AV cable to every room you'll ever want it. Get it done now and you're not fishing walls or running ugly cord covers five years from now. It's the single smartest low-voltage decision on a new home.
Residential only: homeowners, home builders, and basement finishers.
What you get
Here's exactly what you get when I handle your pre-wiring. No surprises, no corners cut, and the place left cleaner than I found it.

How a project goes
Same order every time, so you always know what's next and what it costs.
As soon as you have a floor plan. I mark every drop, speaker, TV wall, and camera, and send back a plan-based quote.
We walk the framed house and mark locations with tape and a Sharpie: where the TV goes, which wall the desk is on, where you'll want music.
After electrical and plumbing rough-in, before insulation. Usually weeks 6 to 12 of the build. Everything home-runs to one panel.
After paint: wall plates, terminations, testing, and a labeled panel with a map of what goes where.
Here's what I'd run in any new Utah home, whether or not the equipment goes in right away:
Call as soon as you have plans, and no later than framing. The window I need is after electrical and plumbing rough-in and before insulation, usually weeks 6 to 12. Miss it and every run becomes a retrofit.
I do residential low-voltage only: new homes, basement finishes, and remodels. One point of contact from the plan review to the labeled panel, for you and for your builder.
Tell me about the room and I'll send a straight quote, usually within the hour.
Good to know
Straight answers on this one. Anything else, just text me.
A whole-home pre-wire in Utah typically runs $3,000 to $8,000, or about $1.50 to $2.50 per square foot. Per network drop it's roughly $150 to $250. Retrofitting the same wiring after drywall costs $10,000 to $25,000 or more.
After the framing and rough electrical, but before insulation and drywall, usually weeks 6 to 12 of the build. Reach out as soon as you have plans and I'll coordinate with your builder.
Yes, and it's the best time. I rough in speaker wire, HDMI conduit, projector power, and network to the theater or basement so the equipment can go in whenever you're ready, with no drywall cutting.
Yes. It's a fraction of the cost when the walls are open, about 40 to 60 percent less than retrofitting. Even if you're not installing gear yet, the wire in the wall means you can add a theater, cameras, or wired WiFi anytime.
Yes. I coordinate directly with your builder and electrician so the low-voltage rough-in lines up with the schedule and stays out of the other trades' way.
