Michael helped greatly during the design / construction phase to explain system features and recommend features to make our living experience that much better. The end result was fantastic and we could have not done this without him! We now have a user-friendly, fully automated home automation system which controls every key aspect of the home at our fingertips! (Lighting, Alarm, Cameras, HVAC, Window Shades, A/V, etc.) Controls cannot be any easier, may that be via Control4 touch screens throughout the home or using our mobile devices besides multitude of programmed features the team had put in per our request that runs daily. Through various installations all the way from framing to build completion we had the opportunity to meet most of the Launch staff members. An excellent group of highly professional, honest and hardworking individuals. Anyone looking for a Home Control-A/V contractor, for either a new build or an existing home; look no further!! Launch and the team will not disappoint. We look forward to working with Launch and Michael for years to come! **★★★★★ — Julie Sambuco, Jan. 2019** > Launch is honest, timely, professional... incredible. We have used them on three homes over the last 10 years. On a recent home remodel, we called Launch in early to plan for our AV. They did not try to oversell; when we said we were unsure of security camera's they gave us just the cost to wire since is really expensive to do later, and never pressured us to buy anything. We ended up integrating their camera's into the solution, and are super happy we did! The AV solution they provided is easy to use and works amazing. One thing that sets Launch apart is the service! The scheduling itself is easy and professional, but it is the technicians that just keep coming back to ensure that your system is working, that other vendors (like Direct TV) integrate correctly, that your phone is working with the system perfectly. It is just incredible that you have a contract, and find a company like Launch that goes way above and beyond what the contract says. Always with a smile and expertise. So, thank you, Launch **★★★★★ — Gay Fontanesi, Jan. 2019** > I highly recommend Launch Systems. > From the initial estimate to completion of the project, all was professional, stress free, and completely first class. The owners of the company and ALL of their employees make sure you, the customer, is confident and well informed. I will always recommend Launch and strongly urge future customers to rest assured they will be more than pleased with the final product. **★★★★★ — Anne Storm, April 2018** > Launch is fabulous! We hired them to initially install our sound system and just lately to upgrade the system. They were so professional and efficient. They worked within our time frame and did an excellent job. After it was installed, Kevin came and made sure we knew how to work the system before a party. Best customer service I’ve ever experienced!! **★★★★★ — Narendra Patel, Dec. 2017** > Launch did all the audiovisual for my custom built home in Newport Coast. 15,000 square feet house with lots of outdoor space. Launch did all the initial wiring, purchased and installed all equipment, and then integrated everything to work seamlessly. From my phone App, I can control all lights, music, landscape lights, exterior lights, exterior heat lamps, all A/C units, water fountains, pool, spa, etc. > > The entire team is extremely talented and professional. Price was fair, given the high quality of work and equipment. Very patient in teaching us how all the technology works. **★★★★★ — Dennis B, Aug. 2017** > These folks are the best. Besides being nice and friendly, they are knowledgeable people in all domains and provide service promptly. I had a music and video full home entertainment system installed by others that was regularly problematic for about the first two years following its installation. The Launch System technicians reconfigured the home system and fixed the problems permanently.. I have no hesitation in saying that when the Launch Systems technical people leave, your problem is fixed. Yes, I tried others before I found Launch Systems, but they did not provide a level of service at the vastly higher level provided by Launch Systems. And, there is definitely no going back to the others. **★★★★★ — Bill Vosseller Custom Woodwork, March 2016** > Ron Rawson and Launch have installed audio systems in many of media units I've build. I am always confident in referring them to a client. The expertise and customer service is second to none. > You can always count on these guys for the best. > BILL VOSSELLER CUSTOM WOODWORK **★★★★★ — ccormie, Dec. 2015** > We have used Launch for multiple projects and have referred them to friends and family. They have always been on time, courteous and professional. Michael specifically was so helpful in talking us through options to scale our projects to fit our budget and was exceedingly patient when we were uncertain about the project scope. We found the staff to be very knowledgeable. We love our Sonos system and would highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — jkalman6, May 2015** > Launch Systems designed and installed "enterprise class" Wi-Fi in my home. I have 3200 sq. ft., split-level, house that had multiple dead spots, despite a network of consumer routers and extenders that I had rigged. I can't say enough about Michael and the team. This system is blazing fast and our three Apple TV's, Slingbox, and multiple iPads, never ran faster. **★★★★★ — dalegiali, Sept. 2014** > My wife and I hired Launch (Michael Kravets) to install automation in our brand new home. Michael met at the house before we even moved in and began the planning process. Michael explained in very understandable terms they types of things they could provide. Never pushy; just informative. We planned the house out and Michael provided a very clear and detailed project plan, with precise estimates. We now have an incredibly user-friendly and technologically-advanced home automation system (Control4) that controls our TVs (our Launch contract included purchase and installation of 4 beautiful HD 3D Smart TVs), housewide music (receiver, blue ray, SONOS, Pandora, Rhapsody), alarm, HVAC, lights, front door, and garage door. The TVs look fantastic and all the equipment is neatly organized in racks that Launch made. The music sounds terrific. Everything is programmable and can be controlled from handheld remote controls, wall-mounted control panel, smart phone, laptop, and notebook. As soon as we have our yard done, we will have Launch connect the pool/spa equipment, outdoor lighting and outdoor music integrated to the system. We could not be more pleased with the result. The system is everything we could have hoped for, including true ease of use, and some incredibly useful and efficient ways to go about watching TV, listening to music, using lighting, setting home alarm, etc. We also cannot say enough about Launch. A group of really smart, really hard working, really responsive and really nice guys. They embody the true meaning of customer service. Price you ask? Let's just say we believe we received full value for the cost . Of all the decisions we have made with the new house (and we have made many), hiring Launch is, without question, the best one. **★★★★★ — manclark, Sept. 2014** > The Launch team installed a huge system in my home and very complicated system for my entire office and conference rooms. I have as most people have had horrible experiences with companies that look good and can hang or install whatever you want in your house. However, IT NEVER WORKS RIGHT OR SOUNDS RIGHT. I cant tell you how much I've spent having different companies do it right "or attempt to" > > Launch not only installed everything perfect but even the items I didn't replace are working finally and the sound is PERFECT!!! > > The one thing however that is the best about these guys is that they will come back and train, adjust, fix, anything you need until you are totally happy. > > Launch beats all the others out there... **★★★★★ — thekeeper1, Aug. 2014** > From the moment I decided to install a wireless sound system in my new home, the company Launch and every employee was consummately professional from the beginning to the end of the project. > The quality and language of their presentations, their sales staff, and their technical staff was beyond reproach. > What I personally liked was that I was told, there may be wireless concerns within my home and where I live but I was counseled in a conservative manner which I really appreciated, by Michael Kravets. > I was able to do a less costly first installation, but immediately realized that I had more serious issues that they had uniformly presented to me, so I had them return to construct the most efficient audio and visual system that I have used in my life. > From Patrick and Alex, the installers, to Michael Kravets, and their most efficient and responsive support and staff, I would and I do recommend this company for any and all your viewing and listening needs. > Every call, every email, every service call(of which was rare) was met with an immediate response. > I cannot say enough about how good, efficient and personable, this company is, thus I would use them again and I refer them to all my friends and neighbors. > We love our Sonos system, our television, and everything that we operate for our viewing and listening pleasure. > It made our home complete. > Thank you Launch.com! ## Selected projects -

[launchav's ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/15577256/list/launchav-s-ideas) — 3 ideas [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/launchsystems) ## Community Q&A **Q: What is the material of this deck?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Unfortunately I do not have an answer for you because we are an A/V and Smart Home company who worked on that home. However, the builder is on Houzz as well. Click here: Domaen **Q: What color and brand of paint was used on the exterior of this house?** *(in Photo Questions)* I love that taupe color with the white trim with the stone! Classy! A: Hi Renee: I honestly don't know what the paint is on the house. The General Contractor has moved out of town so I cannot ask him. **Q: How much for this home?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: This home sold for about $6 million **Q: cabinets console** *(in Photo Questions)* Where did you get the cabinets under the tv? and Can you get them in a different color? A: This was custom designed and manufactured by Domaen Design (http://www.domaen.net) **Q: TV over the fireplace. Yes or no?** *(in Polls)* What do you think about having the TV over the fireplace? Are you against, or for it? Vote and tell us where your TV is currently placed in your home. If you have photos, post those too! A: They look awesome above fireplaces, however, they are not as nice to watch. Simplest answer I can give. Make sure it is framed or hidden if you do..... **Q: Layout for Living Room/Family Room....** *(in Design Dilemma)* My husband and I recently bought an old center hall colonial home. The living room is really used as our family room as it is the only large room in the house. However its shaped like a long rectangle with a fireplace and tv centrally located and double archways leading into the room with a railing. I'm finding it really hard to figure out what kind of furniture we should put in here and the layout being that it is so long. We want it to look really nice but comfortable at the same time since it is the only room to really relax in. Please disregard the round table as it is not usually there. It was left over from a party we had. We have been going back and forth between 2 sofas across from each other with 2 chairs next to it, a sectional, a couch against the railing, a square coffee table, a larger rug etc. We really want to make the most of the space. Help! Any recommendations are welcome! A: Just came across the picture of your living room. From an A/V standpoint, you should really think about hiding that cable box under the TV and "Flattening" the TV on the wall. We all know how TV's are the new centerpieces for any family gathering room. However, when purchasing a home like this, I would think about hiding the TV completely. One thing that would look good in that room would be using a Vision Art type product. When no one is watching TV, the room will look much more "old school" as it should, instead of having a giant black box in a formal Living Room on the wall.
