What Clients Say About R&D Audio Video
I had a great experience working with Dan. He installed my entire Sonos audio system, including soundbars in the living room and bedroom, in-ceiling speakers in the living room, and speakers on my patio and deck. He also supplied and installed my new Samsung TV. The installation was clean, professional, and everything sounds and works exactly as it should. Dan is knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and easy to work with. I highly recommend him and will definitely use him again for future projects.
Dan and his team did a great job on my theater room. It looks and sounds amazing! I wish you could hear it!!
Dan and Nate from R&D Audio and Video did an excellent job mounting my TV above the fireplace. Even though it is probably one of the more challenging materials to mount it on -- my fireplace is stone veneer -- they were fast and triple checked their work. They also ran cables behind the wall. I impressed at how professional they were and how quickly they were able to come out. They even followed up with me a few weeks later to make sure everything worked okay because I didn't have the correct audio equipment to test the cables while they were in my home. Overall, I would rate their service five stars.
Dan and Nate did an outstanding job setting up our home av system. Thoughtful cost effective solutions that look and sound great. Can’t see a wire or box anywhere. Follow up and communication were excellent. Very highly recommended!
Dan Donovan and his crew were awesome. On time, great communication and competitive pricing. They took the extra time to do an amazing job for me. They get my highest recommendation!
Reasonably priced for a cat5e retrofit, communication was clear and emails returned pre/post install in a timely fashion. Highly recommended!
Quick, competent and affordable -- can't ask for more than that!
My T.V. Looks great on the wall and I can’t see any wires! Thanks R & D!
R+D are great. Clear communication, showed up right on time and the installation looks great. Highly recommend.
R&D A/V has been great to work with. I’ve hired and worked alongside them with Rose City Tech for low-voltage wiring, camera installs, access points, TV mounting, and related A/V work. R&D is reliable, knowledgeable, and do clean professional work. I appreciate having a team I can trust to help execute projects properly and take care of clients well. Highly recommend Dan and Nate.
Dan and his team are great. I’ve had him install/uninstall/Install from 3 different homes and they’ve always been responsive, quick and professional. Will always use R&D, couldn’t be happier. The picture is the latest install.
Hey Dan and the other person who was with you today. Thank you! Thanks for the amazing job you guys did. The TV looks beautiful on the wall. I unfortunately wasn’t able to be home when you came but my wife was and she said you guys did amazing job. We are super happy with the work and job you did for us. I’ll be recommending you to anyone and everyone I know has a TV or is getting a new one. Thank you again! Now time to kick back relax and watch my favorite movie Pulp Fiction!
Dan did a great job installing our new TV and integrating the Yamaha surround system. Dan wall mounted the TV, speakers and IR extender with all the wires hidden in the wall! It looks great, I will definitely use R&D for all future AV needs.
Dan and his team made the whole audio video installation experience easy. He was quick and efficient with his time. I would definitely recommend his services to friends, family and colleagues.
These guy's did a fantastic job. Very clean and quick. Dan showed up on time and was very friendly. He hooked up some rear speakers for me and calibrated everything. Super good pricing. I highly recommend.
Dan did everything he said he would do, did it when he said he would do it, and did a clean, professional job. He also has a great attitude and willingness to provide 100% satisfaction.
Great experience, and would highly recommend! Will definitely keep them in mind if I ever need any more work done.
Had a great experience very timely and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend.
