Actually, I've delt with Galaxy home solutions and they are great as electricians but their low voltage team can basically install ethernet wires for you which you may or may not need. I hate to say this but I wouldn't go to them for network advice. For that, I and several here on this site can help you better since we probably have more experience in that area. I also know trusted people who can professionally install network systems for you if needed.

If you live here in the Villages, remember almost all homes are single floor homes and not multifloor like where we used to live, which makes these new Wi-Fi Mesh systems easy to install and get 100% coverage without a lot of work. You can also use Ubiquiti and set up an access point system but in my personal opinion that's way overkill unless you have a special situation like you want a locally hosted camera and video door bell system that they offer or want to "play" with the ubiquiti system and learn more about networking as a hobby. There are pros and cons to both systems and each person's home and specific needs may require one system vs another. In most situations I've found a good Wi-Fi 7 router and mesh system placed in the proper location will give you close to 100% coverage in homes here in the Villages. I hope this helps.
