Bring Your AV Into 2026.
Tired tube TVs, dusty AVRs, dead Sonos zones, projectors no one knows how to turn on. We retire dated audio and video gear and replace it with modern, integrated systems - Control4-driven, Lutron-aware, and built around how your family actually lives today.
Your AV Was State-of-the-Art. In 2009.
The receiver hums. The plasma drinks 600 watts every time someone leaves it on. Half the in-ceiling speakers stopped working years ago and the rest still work because no one's brave enough to touch them. The original remote is taped together. iPhones can't pair. The TV menu takes ten seconds to respond to a button press. None of it talks to your lighting, your shades, or each other. Modern AV is dramatically better - and dramatically simpler - than what's installed in your walls right now. We unwind the legacy mess, reuse the wiring that's still good, and give you a system that actually feels current.
Modernize What Matters.
Reuse What Still Works.
Three upgrade paths that bring legacy AV into the modern era - without ripping the house apart or replacing every cable in the wall.
Retire Old Displays & AV Racks
The plasma, the bulb projector, the 7-year-old AVR with HDMI ports that no longer pass 4K - out. We swap dated displays for current OLED, MicroLED, or laser projection from Sony, Samsung, and LG, and replace tired receivers with modern Anthem, Marantz, and Denon units that handle 8K, eARC, Dolby Atmos, and HDR10+ properly.
Revive Whole-House Audio
If your in-ceiling speakers are dropouts and your "wireless" hubs are e-waste, we can usually re-use the existing speaker wire and bring it into a current Sonos, Sonance, or Triad backbone. Streaming-first sources, instant phone control, every zone consolidated under one app - and your favourite room finally working in winter again.
Replace Five Remotes With One System
Modern AV control is the single biggest upgrade most homeowners feel. We migrate from outdated programmable remotes (or no control at all) to Control4 with intuitive on-wall keypads, phone control, and integration into your lighting, shades, climate, and security. Three button presses become one. Confused guests become comfortable guests.
Five Systems We Routinely Modernize. From the Wall to the App.
Refit the Theater Without Rebuilding the Room
Most legacy theaters fail because the gear in the rack - projector, AVR, sources - fell behind the picture standards in your living-room TV. We replace just the components that matter: a current Sony or JVC laser projector, a Marantz or Anthem AVR with full Atmos, and an updated source stack. Existing wiring, screen, and seating typically stay. The room transforms in a single weekend.
- Swap aging bulb projectors for modern 4K laser (20,000+ hour lifespan)
- Replace pre-2018 AVRs with units that handle 4K/120Hz, eARC, Dolby Atmos, HDR10+
- Rebuild the source stack: Apple TV 4K, Kaleidescape, Roon, modern game consoles
- Single-press Control4 "Watch Movie" scene replaces five separate remotes
Old Speaker Wire. New Brain.
The cable in your walls is almost always still good. What's outdated is everything it's connected to - the keypads, the matrix, the streaming source. We replatform to current Sonos Amp / Sonance DSP zones, layer in voice and phone control, and consolidate every dead-and-dying source under one app, one volume slider, one source picker.
- Re-use existing 14/4 or 16/4 speaker wire wherever feasible
- Sonos Amp, Sonance DSP, Episode, Triad - matched to your existing speakers
- Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Roon, AirPlay 2 streaming integrated end-to-end
- Per-zone control from phone, in-wall keypad, or voice - finally consistent
One Source to Every TV in the House
If you've still got cable boxes scattered through the house, or HDMI splitters duct-taped behind the entertainment center, you're fighting yesterday's problem. A modern HDBaseT or AV-over-IP matrix puts one centralized rack of sources behind every TV - Apple TV, Kaleidescape, gaming, satellite - all selectable from any room, all in 4K HDR with no compression and no signal loss.
- Replace HDMI matrices with HDBaseT or AV-over-IP capable of true 4K/60 4:4:4 HDR
- Centralized rack: one Apple TV / cable box / streamer feeds the whole house
- Re-terminate Cat6A or upgrade Cat5e where bandwidth has run out
- Engineered equipment closet with cooling, surge protection, and monitoring
Patio Speakers That Survive a Decade Outside
Most outdoor audio fails because consumer-grade speakers can't handle salt air, UV, and humidity. We replace failing patio and pool zones with marine-grade Sonance, Triad, and James Loudspeaker units rated for coastal South Carolina, plus dedicated outdoor amplification that doesn't degrade in summer heat.
- Marine-grade speakers from Sonance, Triad, Episode, James Loudspeaker
- Dedicated outdoor zones, separately controllable from indoor system
- Subwoofers and pendant speakers tuned for outdoor reverberation
- Amplification housed indoors with proper ventilation - not in a hot patio cabinet
One Remote. One App. Done.
The single biggest "wow" of an AV upgrade isn't the picture or the sound - it's the control. We migrate aging Crestron, URC, Logitech Harmony, or no-control households onto Control4 OS 3, integrate Lutron lighting and shading, and add Apple TV / Sonos / streaming services into clean, intuitive scenes anyone in the house can use.
- Control4 Gold-level installation with OS 3 - modern, fast, beautiful UI
- Lutron Caséta, RA3, or HomeWorks integration depending on home scale
- Phone, watch, in-wall keypads, voice (Alexa / Siri / Google) all unified
- Scenes that combine AV, lighting, shades, climate, security in one tap
Upgrades Are Harder Than New Builds.
We Specialize in Them.
Reuse What's Still Good
Speaker wire that's still in spec, in-ceiling drivers that still measure flat, conduit and pathways already in the wall - we test what you have first and only replace what truly needs replacing. Most of our upgrade quotes come in well below a from-scratch install because of it.
Live in Your House, Not Out of It
Most upgrades happen in occupied homes. We schedule in phases, dust-control rooms while we work, leave the kitchen and bedrooms running every night, and finish each space before moving on. Demo the rack on Monday, watch a movie in the new theater by Saturday.
Control4 Gold & Lutron Certified
The hardest part of any upgrade is making the new system feel like one cohesive whole - which is why we lead with Control4 OS 3 and Lutron lighting. As a Gold Dealer and Lutron-certified integrator, we deliver the unified, single-app experience that makes a 15-year-old house feel brand new.
No Subcontractors. Ever.
Every cable trace, rack rebuild, and calibration is done by our own technicians. The team that designs your upgrade is the team that walks into your house, and the team you call afterwards. Consistency, accountability, and one number to ring when you need us.
