His team is technically proficient, highly responsive, very engaging, and dedicated to their craft. They continue to provide great service when needed (which fortunately is not very often) and are very professional in their approach to clients. First class product and team combined.

Dan is incredibly professional and responsive and takes the time to explain all of the technology that is being installed. His equipment prices are competitive and his expertise is not to be outperformed. We highly recommend Audio Visual Specialists. **★★★★★ — Alex Hoffer, May 2018** > As a business owner in the manufacturing space, I realize that things can (and will) go wrong in implementing any new technology. So what matters is how people behave in those instances. We chose Audio Video Specialists because we trusted that they would behave in a honest, responsive, and transparent manner. They did! And the install "problems" were extraordinarily minor. > Dan, and team, are extremely trustworthy, dependable, and responsive. More than that, there are no surprises or hidden costs.
