History

Established in 2005.

Our business started when the owner moved from General Contracting to his longtime passion of home electronics. When the technology of flat screens and home theater was peaking, it was his pleasure to help those customers find a better solution of installation than just overpaying where they got their products. So cal Installs was created with over 6 years of home building and carpentry work backing up this new niche.

Installing TVs over fireplaces and installation of home theater quickly became our primary work and 6 years later we are one of the biggest TV installers in Southern California.

Now we install TVs for thousands of residents, many of the armed forces bases in So Cal, along with a long variety of our local businesses such as SDSU, UCSD, Mueller College, USMC at Camp Pendleton, MCAS Mirimar, Macy’s, and many, many more.

NO job is too small, so please call us and get professional advice and help on your new TV or home theater.

We found Brandon and this amazing company online after researching for a while the best options to mount our TV and run cables correctly as the previous owner was out of code. We called So Cal Installs and Brandon said he was available the next day!
He came in and assessed; he was the most personable and honest person! We were told that we couldn’t use the mount that was left behind by the previous tenants by a competitor and that we would have to buy a new mount. Brandon saved us a TON of money because he was able to use the mount.
He mounted our TV, centered it precisely, ran the cables to code, and cleaned up the space to make the area look perfect!
I will go around town and recommend So Cal Installation to anyone who needs anything because Brandon will not only save you money compared to the competitors but do an amazing job with a smile on his face!
Thank you!!!

We have tried other businesses to wall mount a TV and conceal the cables behind the wall, with disastrous results. Since finding Brandon, we have used his services twice — both with excellent results.
If you care about a good job, without damage to your home or equipment, try Brandon. He will spend time to find the right solution — which may not necessarily be the quickest solution.

Brandon was excellent to work with. He made an appointment with me quickly, was on-​time, and completed the job well in the allotted time frame. He replaced a bad HMDI cable that another installer had installed. The other installer would not return my calls after I told him the cable needed to be replaced. The replacement required removing our 65″ TV from the wall, routing the cable through a brick wall above our fireplace into our attic and then down another wall, and then reinstalling our TV. He was quick, competent, and tidy. He did a good job cleaning up after himself which my wife really appreciated. I highly recommend.

Brandon installed two wall mount TVs for us. and did an extraordinary job. He is very customer focused and knowledgable. He had great attention to detail — from centering the TV on the wall and in relationship to the furnishings in the rooms, to insuring that the area remained clean. I would highly recommend him and would use him again, without hesitation in the future.

I wish I could give a 10 star review!!! Everything about my experience was amazing. I was given a quick and easy estimate over the phone and was able to schedule the install the week of Thanksgiving. When the owner arrived he started the job and was efficient, professional and courteous. When the job was nearly complete he pulled the new TV from the box that I had yet to open only to discover it the screen was cracked. This was a TV I ordered on super clearance and it was no longer available from the store. Instead of leaving with a job half finished for me to deal with getting a different TV, he actually helped me deal with customer service, got the retailer to agree to exchange my TV for the next best model with no increase in price and helped me return and exchange the TV at the store!!! All of this the day before Thanksgiving!!! He then finished the precision job and stayed far later than expected. Amazing customer service on all accounts! If you need a TV or home theater installed, So Cal Installs is who you should call! I will be referring him to everyone I know!!!

I would give more stars if I could. After Best Buy messed up and was unable to install my TV above the fireplace, I called Brandon and he installed the same day as my call. His work was incredible and he did better job for less than Best Buy had quoted me. I highly recommend So Cal Installs and will use them again in the future. I could not be happier with their service.

When we got our 1st flat screen 5 years ago, I did all the research and it was clear then that SoCal Installs was the company to use. When I needed a new TV setup last week, no research was necessary, I just called Brandon at SoCal Installs. I knew from the first install that the work was top-​notch and the price was fair. Save yourself the time of figuring out who to use for your next system install and just call SoCal Install.

Initially I bought my own bracket and my father-​in-​law was helping me hang my 60 in. flat screen t.v. over the fireplace. After really considering the quality of work I wanted and realizing I wanted a clean professional finish, it was a no brainer to find a professional. I did a lot of research when I decided to get my t.v. mounted over my fireplace. Because this is going to be seen by everyone that walks in my house. Therefore it was important for me to get it done right the first time around. After reading around 50 reviews on Unilocal from all the different install companies, I narrow it down to about 3 businesses. After speaking to all 3 owners it was easily apparent that Brandon, Owner of So. Cal Installs was the most knowledgeable and what I liked even more is that he personally does the install. In my opinion there is something to be said about pride of ownership. Not to mention I believe in supporting the small businessman. Brandon was patient even though I had a million questions. He answered my questions as if it were his house he was going to do the work on and that made me very comfortable because I knew he would hang my t.v. as if he were hanging his own. Brandon did an amazing job, he hid all the wires inside the wall and all you can see is the 60 in screen hanging like a picture frame. Now after all of that he also helped educate me on the satellite t.v. equipment that I have. It was outdated and insufficient for the needs I have and was an eye sore with all the hanging wires. After learning about my equipment and what I needed I called Directv and with Brandon’s help I was able to get Directv to schedule an appointment and come upgrade my equipment and Brandon helped me get a discount of over $ 100 on my bill. Even though that’s not part of his job he genuinely cared about what I was getting because I was a customer of his. I knew from the beginning he was the guy for the job but I got way more than I bargained for. He also stayed late and finished the job correctly even though he had another appointment to get to. He has integrity and clearly takes a lot of pride in his work. He responded to my call for a price quote pretty fast, honored his price quote even though he was faced with some tough and unexpected challenges. All my future home installations will be done by So. Cal Installs.

Brandon from So Cal Installs did an excellent job mounting our television above the fireplace. He was able to schedule an appointment quickly, he had the best price by far for an installation above a fireplace, and the job looks great and makes the room much more livable.
From my research, I learned that mounting TV’s above a fireplace can be difficult (i.e, managing corners, electrical, gas lines, avoiding the chimney, etc.), but Brandon was able to work quickly and efficiently.
Other companies offered a certain price, then later tried adding additional hidden fees. Brandon stuck to the same price that was quoted from the beginning.
In addition, I had purchased a mount before Brandon arrived and then learned that it was not compatible with my TV. Brandon was able to provide me with the correct mount on the spot and sold it to me for a great price.
I would highly recommend Brandon and So Cal Installs for a professional job at a great price. It will clean up the room, provide better sight lines toward the TV, and allow you to get rid of tacky wires all over the place. Using So Cal installs was a no brainer… great reviews, and the best price.

Brandon quickly replied to my call, and gave me a quote over the phone, We set up an appointment, he came out, spent about 3 hrs doing the install, and it turned out great! He even gave me a discount on the bracket required for the soundbar. He did a particularly nice job of routing the wires up behind the TV and in matching the surface texture of the existing wall in places where patching was necessary. I recommend Brandon to all my friends in the area, as he’s honest, straightforward, and delivers a quality product.

So Cal Installs was great! They came at the time promised and installed my 65 inch TV with sound bar over the mantel. They hid the wiring so that it looks very clean. The owner and installer Brandon also noted a problem with the original mount (on how I wanted to use it) and offered a great solution.
I would highly recommend So Cal Installs to make a very professional installation that you will be very happy with.

We needed a new 75 inch TV mounted on a stacked stone fireplace. Brandon and his helper were both timely and efficient. They even saved us some money by recommending an alternative mount that worked perfectly for our situation. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Brandon and his assistant Scott installed our 50″ flat screen above our fireplace. When we moved into our house, Time Warner was unable to get a signal because there was an issue with our cable wiring. I had no idea what the issue was and Time Warner couldn’t tell me. I called So Cal Installs because it sounded like they have experience with electrical issues. Brandon was able to figure out the problem which was a bad connector somewhere inside the wall between the attic, the second story, and our first floor where the TV was being installed. He stayed at our house for 6 hours until 9pm to get our TV installed, wiring repaired, and he hooked up our cable box, sound bar, and programmed our remote. My husband was happy they were willing to work late and get the job done that day. All the ugly cords are hidden and the tv looks great. The cost ended up being more than I thought because of the bad wiring installed by previous owners, but it was worth it because if I had to get an electrician, I’m sure I would have paid much more.

This review is written on behalf of Rudy Benavides which was a recent customer of SoCal Installs.
«I originally arranged Geek Squad to install a 75 inch TV in the living room and 55 inch in the bedroom. They delivered the TV and saw the height of the living room which was over 20 ft high and at that point, they refused to install.»
«I contacted Brandon (the owner) the following day and he came out and did the complete installation within four hours.»
«As you can see it was a very unique location. He did an AMAZING job. Super friendly and very professional. I would highly recommend his company.»

I highly recommend So Cal Installs/​Brandon. I found him online and called to get some detailed information on mounting three televisions in my new home and he was so patient with me as I explained what it was that I wanted done. When he came out to the house the day of the install, he used his expertise in suggesting which mounts would work best for each television/​wall and I love how they all turned out. I had a 47 inch, 55 inch, and 60 inch mounted in the home and each one came out looking fantastic. Brandon had a worker cancel on him last minute so he had no assistance yet still came out and worked all day long to make sure that the job was done and done correctly. Not only did he do an excellent job but he cleaned up after he completed the work. Everyone who comes out to the house comments on how flawless the televisions look. I highly recommend So Cal Installs if you want your televisions mounted by a professional, efficient, trusting, & hard-​working worker like Brandon. I would be happy to be a reference for this company and will be using them in the future!
Thank you Brandon!

This is the first time in a long time that can
say that I can completely satisfied with any
work I have had done.
It was a surprise to me that it was difficult
to find someone based locally that could
do what we needed quickly.
All I wanted was to move the 47″ LG up
stairs and replace it with a 55″ Samsung
6350 covering less space on the wall.
Scott & Brandon did a very clean no-​wires
showing wall mount — every one else including the Geek Squad would only hide the sat cable and power wires

I couldn’t be happier with the work done for me. I had a 55″ TV installed above our fireplace. They were quick, efficient, and clean. The actual owner of the company was who installed my TV which made me feel confident he would do a good job.
The process took about 3 hours, all cords were hidden completely from view, the new power outlet was put in, and the mount and TV were installed flawlessly. All holes were patched and are barely noticeable. The TV is perfectly level and hung at the best height and tilt. Exactly what I wanted. He gave his professional opinion on every step, while also allowing me to make the ultimate decision.
Brandon was thorough and walked me through the process from beginning to end, allowing me to ask questions and answering them before taking action. He was friendly but professional. (One of the nicer people I’ve met/​worked with in San Diego so far)
He also took the time to hook everything up after, ensure it was working properly, and showed me the basics of my TV before leaving.
I’m very glad we went with a professional team like So Cal Installs for this project. I’m very pleased with the results. We would definitely use them again.
Pros: fast, clean, left no-​mess behind (they even vacuumed!), professionally done, good patch work, friendly team, beautiful install
Cons: No real cons, they were later to the appointment than scheduled but they called ahead of time to let me know and confirm with me it was okay, which it was. They didn’t leave till almost 11pm but it was done and done well around my work schedule so I was happy. Only other con was it was a bit more expensive than I was originally quoted but that was because it took longer than they thought due to the wall structure, and I needed longer HDMI cables that I realize I needed. I was glad they had those with them to purchase and I’m sure they were reasonably priced at $ 40 per 15-​ft cable so definitely no complaints. It’s not cheap, but it’s well worth the price and you couldn’t get a better or faster job anywhere else. :)
