Default Adding Cable Outlets

I am looking for someone that can add cable connections to a cement block built home.
I have a bedroom and lanai that I did not have the foresight to have them put in when built.

Any recommendations will be appreciated.

Thanx in advance to those who will respond.

They can easily be install, but only on inside walls. Outside walls have no access from the attic with a block and stucco house.

Call Gary or Lou Ann 352 753 1298

They use to work for Clear Link and they are excellent. I have used them in both of my homes.

Called this number and was told it was incorrect. Maybe they changed it. Has anyone else used these people and know the number? Thanks!

We've used Donnie Hickey, owner of Precision Sound.. 352-267-4799. He's done our house and Mom in law's two houses. Does a great job.

Actually, if you're really careful, you can add them to the outside walls. The hardest part is physically getting out to the outside edge of the attic space, and it is a two person job, but it can be done.

I found the name Alan Byer on TOTV and gave him a call. Came over and moved the wiring up the wall, installed a recessed wall outlet, and mounted the television. Going to have him install lighting above and below the kitchen cabinets when we return. He's very reasonable and does professional work. Highly recommend!
