Davis Audio & Video

I do not typically post reviews, but felt compelled to do so for David Audio. This company does fantastic work and I am very happy that I decided to use them. We just bought a new condo and wanted to do a custom audio and video set-​up. David worked with me to customize a system that fit within our budget. His team did an excellent job on installing the in-​ceiling speakers and mounting our TVs. After the installation, David came by to personally show me how to use the equipment (he even waited patiently while we dealt with a couch delivery snafu). About a month later, Brady (who is great and did the initial install) came over to re-​program the system and re-​organize our equipment in a new cabinet. David and his team are really easy to work with and very accommodating. I highly recommend them!!!

Awesome! After several estimates… David Davis and crew did a spectacular job on installing home AV and Audio. When I have called with questions a team member shows up to help! That is going beyond the call of duty.

Unprofessional. I’ve called Davis 4 times now. Left a message the first time and he never called me back, 2^nd time I called I spoke to him and he said he would send me a quote but never did. Tried calling two more times and never got any phone call or email back. Not sure why. Perhaps he isn’t interested in my business because I’m Muslim? bold claim but I don’t see any reason why he hasn’t called me back and its been several weeks now. Screw him. There are a lot of others out there who I can call.

Zach is great. I’m a fairly demanding and tech savvy customer who enjoys a great deal of customization. Zach has been patiently putting up with me while working on solutions and getting evertything in my house set up just the way I wanted. I look forward to doing more stuff with David Audio and Video and I highly recommend them to everyone else!

Great guys — just had them set up a Sonos system in my house, and it is honestly the first time i have ever been excited about a home improvement. ask for David — he’s great and will set you up right. highly recommended!

Davis Audio did a fantastic job with both installing our surround sound as well as their professionalism and customer service. First, David, one of the owners, came to my house and gave me knowledgable advice, at a very reasonable price. We scheduled the job and the crew that came to install the system was prompt, curtious and professional. During the installation, one of the guys accidentally bumped into our light fixture, and broke it. Hey, accidents happen. However, David was more than happy to replace it, and did so in a timely manner. I would highly recommend their service.

I will definitely recommend Davis Audio and video. David is one of the best customer service people I have dealt with. If you are looking for your high end audio or video needs look no further and put your trust in David. I’m already planning my next deal with David.

I was really impressed with David and his crew. His initial consultation for my new condo was very thorough and he was able to anticipate what I needed. He thought of multiple ideas/​solutions for each need I had, and the results were excellent. He and his crew installed ceiling speakers, wall-​mounted several flat screen TV’s, and set up multi-​room audio, Sonos, and all my components (TiVo, AppleTV, BluRay, etc.). He patiently listened to and responded to all of my questions and thought of clever solutions I hadn’t thought of that made the results even better than I expected. He promises to answer follow-​up questions after the work is completed, and after the job was done he checked in with me to make sure everything was working as I expected. He even came to my house on a Saturday when I had a few questions shortly after the job was complete. In short, I was very pleased with his services and the results.

I would like to preface this by saying that I NEVER make recommendations online, HOWEVER Davis Audio & Video is one of the most OUTSTANDING A/​V installers I have ever seen.
We had them put in-​wall speakers on three floors (living room, outside patio, office and kitchen), wall mount 2 large TV’s, Sonos system — a total update to equipment, etc… I know they do much larger jobs, but the efficiency and thought that went into our system is just remarkable.
David’s installation team, could be referred to as engineers-​they were THAT good. Fast, extremely capable and phenomenally respectful they finished everything in about a day. They circumnavigated any issues with the greatest of ease… truly impressive. They were very punctual (I work in finance, so I have no tolerance for tardiness) and not once did I have to wait for them. They worked around my schedule — came in on short notice, weekends, etc…
David personally came to my home throughout the entire process, ensuring our comfortability with the install. He also sat there with me showing me how to use everything when it was done, and reinforced that I could call him anytime with questions. Other companies should take a page out of Davis Audio & Video’s book and learn how to treat their customers.
Their customer service and expertise are beyond reproach — in fact, I am already planning the next phase for the system.
It would be a mistake to choose someone else over these guys.
I look forward to working with them again soon.

It is unfortunate I did not get a chance to see their work as their reviews seem pretty consistent. My review is really for lack of follow up, not for quality of work. I was told I was getting a bid a week ago and still nothing. While I wanted to like these guys, the lack of follow up is really turning me off and not professional. My job was a very big job and I need a company who can perform and follow up as they say they will. I am a little more «old school» where I hold people to their word especially when they are trying to win your business.
Maybe this is a business where the client has to keep calling and once they start everything all works out well. But I want professionalism from the beginning and don’t think it is too much to ask for a business to follow up with a bid.

All five-​star reviews, and well-​deserved. David Davis and his crew did an incredible job installing in-​ceiling surround speakers in our new home. The job was a small one — especially compared to the whole-​house automation contracts they handle — but they treated us like million-​dollar clients. We highly recommend them for all audio-​video installations without question.

If you are looking for an audio/​video company in Chicagoland, stop looking. Davis Audio & Video just completed a pretty big job in our house (audio throughout the house, TV/​AppleTV/​TiVo, etc) and we could not be happier. The short review: incredible customer service, extremely knowledgeable staff and very fair pricing.
David’s consultation on what we wanted/​needed in the house was great. He was very clear in presenting options and pros/​cons of different equipment. He laid out the process and other than a little glitch (that was not their fault) everything went very smoothly. We now have the entertainment system and home audio we have always wanted.
Thank you Davis Audio/​Video!

I love technology, especially when it works. I wanted to have music through out the house and outside and have the system work with both my Bose system and with Wifi and my Apple products. And I wanted the TV mounted over the fireplace.
David came out to the house for a consultation and I explained what I wanted and he came up with a proposal that was fair and would meet all my needs. He even shared some new ideas about remote control options that will unfortunately have to wait for another time.
They installed the TV over the fireplace, mounted speakers in the different rooms, all the wires are completely hidden, everything works seamlessly and I couldn’t be happier. They even somehow improved the Wifi signal so it is stronger over the complete house.
These guys are awesome and would definitely recommend them for your audio needs.

Wow! From the walk-​thru to prepare the bid, to the follow up visit a few weeks after all the work was completed — and everything in-​between I was impressed. And I’m damn hard to impress.
David Davis was thorough knowledgeable and willing to work within our budget making good suggestions to help us get a lot of bang for our buck on our complete home audio and video system. Since they are a dealer, pricing on the SONOS components in particular was as competitive as we could find anywhere.
The installers/​programmers were on time, completely professional (you won’t feel at all uneasy having these guys in your house — even our usually wary dog decided after a short time there was no concern). They worked from the attic to the basement, and got everything running and tucked away, creatively solving problems and cleaning up after themselves along the way.
I have already recommended these guys to a friend.
I almost forgot, last but not least and the whole point of the this, we went from a disintegrated mess of equipment, remotes, docks, stand alone systems for each room to one completely cool integrated whole. The music system rocks and the video and surround sound are awesome! We’re really happy with the results!

Davis Audio installed our Audio Video System and the execution was flawless. We called and within 24 hours there was an initial consultation. Within three weeks, we had a complete audio video system installed in one afternoon. The techs were courteous, neat and very knowledgeable. Davis Audio even ordered a speciality piece of equipment for us at no extra charge. I would recommend them for any job, big or small!

Dave is awesome! Really easy to get a quick appt. He came to my house. He fixed my surround sound system in 10 min. I had been trying to get my husband to do this for years! Dave is friendly, knowledgeable and reasonable. Use them!

Davis Audio did all of our tv, stereo, control 4 installation at Racine Plumbing Bar & grill last year. Very professional and all work was done on time or early. They have come back as needed to help with any minor issues or questions I have had. They have a good team, besides just the owners.
I would highly recommend them for any bar or home installation. You can stop by the bar at 2642 N. Lincoln in Chicago to check out the work they did.

I met with the owners, David & Zach to discuss our home audio & home theater problems/​fears/​issues. They walked us through options for solving/​resolving these. I was really impressed with the depth of their knowledge and they made it very easy to understand. They got back to us a few days later with a proposal and met us in person so they could walk us through it. I thought it was great that they gave a price, not an estimate and showed us line item detail.
These guys brought drop clothes, plastic and a vacuum to control the dry dust. They even had their own garbage bags & cans.
I was shocked to see how clean their work actually is. No more rats nest of wiring. All of the wires were neat and even labeled.
It is hard to express what easy to use means, but I knew it was easy when my 65 year old mother came over and had no problem turning on the news. Several of my friends have similar home theater systems and that have been put in by other companies and they struggle to even use them since there are 5 different remotes.
These guys really went above and beyond. Helped us out with some wireless computer issues that wasn’t in the proposal without charging us extra. They always call back to answer questions, and this is after the job is done an paid for. Worth every dollar spent.

I would highly recommend Davis Audio for any size AV project you are considering. I spoke with several different AV companies and David at Davis audio was the most accommodating in terms of working within the budget I had in mind and in getting things done in a timely manner. He and his team also showed real dedication for the work staying well past when they had to on two occasions to get the job done right. They did excellent work and cleaned up any mess left. And to top it off their prices were very competitive with other quotes I received as well.

These guys are great. They worked with us to build a great home theater system that didn’t kill the budget.
We hated having 5 remotes on the table and never knowing which one to use when. They put in 1 remote that replaces all of them. It is so easy to use, even our parents and first time baby sitters have no problem figuring out the TV.
They also gave us whole home audio so we could listen to distributed audio throughout our place.
As a bonus, they were so neat and respectful. They never left a mess. Even my wife never complained.
You have to call these guys if you are thinking about anything audio or video in your home.
