About Us

Who We Are

The End Result, Always in Mind

Since 1998

Since 1998, SoundVision has designed and installed home entertainment and control systems that are simple to use, blend seamlessly with your home’s décor, and are built to last. We are dedicated to giving our customers the best value in home entertainment and control by providing the industry’s best service, featuring only the best products, and hiring knowledgeable staff.

Our design, engineering, installation, and programming processes always begin with the end result in mind. These processes and practices are just part of our broader philosophy: completely understand the client’s needs, and be the most professional contractor on every project.

What Drives Our Process

Our Vision

Our vision is to be the most organized and efficient company in the industry. We will clearly define success for each position, process, and project.

Our professional staff will be equipped with the documentation, tools, and training they need to be successful. We will provide the best work environment, compensation, and recognition to attract and retain the best people.

We will provide a superior level of service and value that keeps our customers and colleagues referring their friends and clients.

Our defining ethos

Our Mission

SoundVision is a team of well-trained professionals whose purpose is to integrate lifestyle-enhancing technology into discriminating customers’ homes.

We focus on aesthetic impact, we design for intuitive operation, and our methods promote trouble-free system performance.

Our goal is to provide systems and experiences that exceed expectations and result in strong referrals.

What We Stand Behind

Our Core Values

The promises that shape how we design, quote, install, and show up in your home.

  • Lifetime Warranty

    We’re proud to offer a lifetime warranty on all our workmanship. We hold our systems and workmanship to the highest possible standard: lasting forever. We only want to create work that can stand the test of time, and we stand behind that philosophy so you never have to worry about your system.

  • Low Price Guarantee

    We stand behind a low-price guarantee on all our products to help offer a level of value you won’t find anywhere else.

  • Easy to Understand Proposals

    Our customers should understand exactly what they are paying for. Our proposals are broken down by room and subsystem with line items for each piece of equipment and the labor. You know how much each room and each subsystem costs installed, and it’s easy to add and remove systems — like a buffet menu. You just select the systems you want.

  • Designed Around Reliability

    We design systems with reliability in mind, using as few parts as we can so there are fewer places to fail. Your system should be simple enough that it works every time. If it ever needs repair, we will service it. We keep your records no matter how old the project, which helps us expedite repairs.

  • Customer Centric

    We believe in serving, not selling. We listen to what you need — you know what you want more than anyone. Then we share the possibilities, including ones you may not have known were possible. We’ll break each option down by installed cost, and you tell us which solution fits your budget and lifestyle.

  • Utmost Professionalism

    We work in an industry where we change how our customers interact with the most personal space in their life: their homes. We take special care at every step to adhere to a strict standard of conduct, keep you as informed as you wish, and treat your home with the utmost respect.

How We Work

Our Process

From the first referral to the last walkthrough — and the next friend you tell.

SoundVision’s four-phase process cycle: Referral, Develop, Design, and Install.
  1. 01

    A Referred Customer Contacts SoundVision

    You contact SoundVision based on an enthusiastic referral from your friends.

  2. 02

    We Listen

    We are ready to hear what you really want for your home or project. At SoundVision, we build our reputation around delivering exactly what you desire.

  3. 03

    Explore Options

    We work with you to understand the features, level of performance, aesthetics, and ease of use you desire for each system.

  4. 04

    Determine Scope and Budget

    A scope of work and preliminary budget is prepared. SoundVision is dedicated to delivering systems and experiences that exceed your expectations while meeting your budget.

  5. 05

    Determine if SoundVision Is a Good Fit

    SoundVision is not necessarily the best fit for every project. At this point we determine whether everyone’s wishes will be satisfied if we move forward.

  6. 06

    Enter a Design Agreement, Design the System, and Create a Proposal

    Regardless of size, all SoundVision projects include a room-by-room system overview, line-item proposal, and equipment specification sheets, showing you exactly what to expect from your completed system.

  7. 07

    Review and Modify as Needed

    Upon completion of the design phase, you will meet with a SoundVision designer to go over the proposed system. Our goal is to give you what you really want, so any necessary changes will be made.

  8. 08

    Engineer and Install

    Our staff of CEDIA-certified engineers and technicians work in tandem to design and install your new system.

  9. 09

    Test and Verify All Systems

    We test and verify that every button of every system works as designed. We then walk you through everything, ensuring that it’s intuitive and easy to use.

  10. 10

    A Satisfied Customer Refers SoundVision to Friends

    Based on your positive experience, you refer SoundVision to your friends. We aim to have you so excited with your new systems that you can’t wait to show and tell everyone you know.
