We are extremely pleased with our relationship with Gregg and Brad and the rest of the team at ELA. It's hard to summarize what has been an excellent multi year relationship so I will highlight what makes them exceptional. ELA adds value throughout the process. They listen well but Gregg in particular adds great creativity to the process enhancing the outcome. ELA recommends great partners to work with and integrates with them seamlessly. I'm not a contractor and this was invaluable to us. ELA proactively helps to ensure cost effective results. ELA backs up their work and are extremely responsive in after care. All members of the team are reliable and first class. ELA plans, prepares, delivers and documents extremely well.

Gregg and Brad are such great guys. They are professional and personable. They are reliable and likable. I really enjoyed working with them. They have a great ability to make sure that they have considered all aspects of the project and they make sure the client understands the issues/aspects as well. I enjoyed having them in the house and was entirely comfortable and confident in their decisions.

Brad, Greg and team are the absolute best! They had wonderful ideas for our home and provided the highest level of service of any vendor I have ever worked with. We have recommended them to many friends. There is no reason to look anywhere else.

Thank you Jill. Another great client that took the time to understand the system and parts involved. The full shade pockets we installed really came out great. A great set of photo's.

I generally do not write reviews of businesses I have done business with, but I will make a exception for ELA. We recently did a first floor renovation which included audio and lighting integration. With the help of the two proprietors of ELA were able to bring our 1940’s Tudor into the 21st century without sacrificing the original interior architecture. Both Brad and Greg were a pleasure to work with and very knowledgeable about the plethora of audio and lighting options. I highly recommend ELA for their low pressure approach, ability to help you narrow down what you need and highly efficient installations. Best of luck to you both.

Thank you Rich! It was fun working through the both phases of the project. The style and creativity you guys applied really came together.

Being a custom home builder, rarely do I find a contractor like ELA who is as professional as these guys are. From start to finish, Gregg, Brad and their installers are what I consider the "Gold Standard" for custom audio / video, home integration and custom lighting design and install. From the simplest to the most extravagant system designs, these guys deliver. Over the years I've worked with them, I am most impressed with how extremely detailed their proposals are, how they design each system with "ease of use" in mind and how they warranty their work. With how timely and clean their installations are, I just wish all of my subcontractors could be as reliable as Electronic Lifestyle Associates. Thanks guys and keep up the good work!

Patient, thorough and professional is how I would characterize the ELA Home team. They were truly terrific to work with on a new condo project that required a complete rewiring of sound, lighting and security systems (originally wired to a closet in the master bedroom, of all places). They were willing to work with myself (the designer) to ensure that all the wiring they did would not disrupt the design of each space. They were thorough and patient as they presented options along the way. In the end, their work resulted in a home that operates seamlessly for our client. I look forward to the next time we get to work together on a project!
