Assess Your Needs

Whether you're craving cozy movie marathons in your home theater or planning epic outdoor bashes with your loved ones, having a clear idea of what you want will help you find the perfect AV company to suit your needs.

Research Local Companies

Begin your hunt for the top AV companies in Northeast and Central Ohio. Keep an eye out for those with rave reviews and stellar reputations. Don't forget to peek at their portfolios to see the quality of their work and their level of expertise.

Check Credentials and Experience

Now that you've got your list of potential AV companies, it's time to delve into the details. Check to ensure they've got the proper licenses and certifications, and aim for companies with lots of experience. Whether you're into home automation or want the ultimate AV setup, finding the right match cannot be overlooked.

Review Solutions and Showroom

When browsing through AV company websites, keep an eye out for those showcasing their various solutions and offering visits to their showroom. When you contact them, request examples similar to what you're looking for to gauge their abilities. Seeing similar projects will give you an idea of their skills and help you decide if they're the right fit for your home installation. 

Get Multiple Quotes

Before you settle on anything, it's wise to gather quotes from a few different AV companies and see how they stack up. Be sure to give each company all the ins and outs of your project so you receive a spot-on quote. Keep in mind that going for the cheapest option might not give you the best results. Take a good look at everything they're offering before you make your final call.

Ask for References

As you're narrowing down your options for an AV company, it's a great idea to get in touch with some of their previous clients. Having a chat with them can provide you with valuable insights into their firsthand experience and help you make your final decision. 

Read the Contract Carefully

Before you make the big decision, you should thoroughly review the contract from the AV company. Make sure everything is clear, including the pricing, services offered, and payment terms.

If you're ready to start your next AV project or if you have any questions, feel free to reach out. The Sound & Vision team is here to assist you every step of the way. You can reach us through our contact page, or you can connect with our staff using the chat box at the bottom of your screen. We’re excited to help you begin your AV journey!
