My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Hooked Up Installs
Home Theater & Automation Installers in Algonquin
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 9, 2013
“I worked with Brent and his team on a project where we integrated the swimming pool and spa controls with the homeowner's home automation system that was designed and installed by Hooked Up Installs. From the start, Brent and his company were first class. They were always on time and very responsive to any questions myself or the homeowner had about the control system. Once everything was installed, the homeowner was absolutely delighted to have the pool and spa controlled from any one of his in house control panels in addition to his iPhone and iPad. They also installed an outdoor speaker system that included speakers all over the back yard with an in-ground subwoofer that sounded unbelievable. This is a great system since the homeowner does a lot of entertaining.”
