He did a great job, but I think Tom at Villager AV is the best for this type work, he has all the brackets and coaxial. I used Tom for help in wiring a TV to the antenna in the attic.



Tom's last I checked, charged $250 to install a TV and provided the hardware and hid the wires, which is not easy and makes it look professional. I did it myself, I bought the bracket on Amazon for $27 for a 42" TV and $50 at Home Depot for a kit to hide the wires inside the wall. I wouldn't want to do a bigger size TV by myslef, also I had some problems when I ran into some metal studs around the top of the closet. I had to go higher than I wanted, but it came out good because the bracket was adjustable. Tom helped with the wiring and aligning my antenna in the attic, I had some bad coaxial that he discovered, he charged me $80.
I second the recommendation of Tom. He has done work for us as well and we were very happy with both Tom and the results.
