While your walls are open, we run infrastructure for your entire smart home — network, audio, cameras, security, and lighting — hidden cleanly inside the walls. Once drywall closes in, your options shrink and costs triple.
Pre-wire happens after framing, before insulation — typically a 1–3 week window. Already past that? Call us anyway, we'll tell you what's still possible.

This is your window. We run everything clean before insulation.
Still possible — but the clock is ticking. Call immediately.
Retrofit is possible but costs 3–5x more and never looks as clean.
Tell us your build stage — we'll tell you exactly what's still possible.
We have this conversation every week with homeowners who called too late. They were excited about flooring and finishes — completely fair. Nobody on the build team mentioned this step.
"Nobody mentioned the pre-wire. Now our cameras are on WiFi, half the second floor has dead zones, our TV wires are running along the baseboard, and the quote to retrofit audio in the main floor was $4,200 — for something that would've been $800 when the walls were open."
You move in, everything seems fine. Six months later: dropped video calls upstairs, lag on gaming, Ring camera at the back of the house going offline. You add a mesh node. Then another. Now you have three boxes with blinking lights and still inconsistent coverage — because hardwiring access points after drywall means cutting walls open.
You put cameras where you can reach power, not where you actually need coverage. The garage corner that matters stays blind. What does go up runs on batteries or has wires down your siding to a plug in the soffit. It works, but it looks like an afterthought — and every clip lives on Amazon's servers behind a monthly fee.
You settle in, start entertaining, and want music in the kitchen and on the porch. You call for a quote on in-ceiling speakers. The number comes back and you go quiet — because it now includes cutting drywall in multiple rooms, patching, priming, and repainting on top of the equipment cost.
This is the conversation we have with almost every new construction client. The box your internet provider drops off is not built to cover a modern home reliably — and most "solutions" people try after the fact are expensive workarounds.
We run the infrastructure for everything during framing. You decide what to activate now and what to add later — nothing is locked in at the rough-in stage.
Cat6 home-runs to every room, wired access point ceiling drops, and a dedicated equipment room. UniFi-ready from day one — no mesh nodes, no dead zones.
UniFi-ReadyPoE camera drops at every exterior corner, garage, and entry. Hardwired — no batteries, no WiFi dependency, unlimited local storage on your own hardware.
UniFi G5 / ELK M1In-ceiling speaker rough-in for every room you want music. Pre-wired for volume controls and a centralized amp location — zero visible equipment.
Sonance / DenonLutron-compatible wire runs for dimmers, keypads, and occupancy sensors. Control every light from one app — or a single button at the door.
Lutron-ReadyDoor contact, motion, and keypad rough-in at every entry. Pre-wired for electronic strikes and ELK M1 integration — add monitoring at any point.
ELK M1 GoldIn-wall HDMI, power, and Cat6 behind every TV location. Conduit for future wire pulls. No surface-mounted cable management in your finished home — ever.
Future-ProofThe framing phase is your only chance to do this cleanly, correctly, and at a fraction of the retrofit cost.
These are real reviews from our Thumbtack profile, where N-Home A/V is listed as TyGerr. Each one is quoted in full, exactly as the customer wrote it.
I couldn't be happier with the service I received from N-Home A/V! TyGerr did an absolutely beautiful job mounting my new 60-inch Samsung TV. The installation was flawless and seamless, and he went above and beyond to hide the wires, giving my setup a clean and professional look. TyGerr was extremely professional, respectful of my space, and made sure everything was perfect before he left.
Love my new tech setup including the rack that was so professionally built and set up. You can tell this was done by someone who actually knows what they're doing — not just someone who watched a YouTube video.
