Everything homeowners, new-home buyers, and builders ask me. If yours isn't here, just text me.
Good to know
The basics
Pricing, service areas, licensing, and how I work.
What areas do you serve?
I'm based in Springville and cover all of Utah County, Salt Lake County, and up to Park City and the Heber Valley. That includes Lehi, Saratoga Springs, Eagle Mountain, Provo, Orem, Draper, Sandy, South Jordan, Salt Lake City, and more. If you're a bit outside that, just ask — I usually make it work.
Am I working with a big company or an actual installer?
You're working with me — Cameron, the owner. You'll text or call the same real number every time, I'm the one who shows up and does the work, and I'm the one you reach if you ever need a tweak later. No call center, no rotating crews.
What's your labor rate, and how do you quote jobs?
Labor is $100/hour, but most small jobs I quote as one flat project price so you know the number up front. On bigger projects you'll get an itemized written estimate within 48 hours — no hidden fees, no surprise line items.
How fast can you get me a quote?
Text or call and I'll usually have a quote back to you within the hour during business hours. Actual scheduling depends on the job, but I move fast.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — licensed and insured in Utah, and I'll send a certificate of insurance on request. Your walls, floors, and equipment are covered while I'm working.
Do you clean up after the install?
Always. Shoe covers on, drop cloths down, and I leave the space cleaner than I found it. Hidden wiring, leveled mounts, and nothing for you to deal with after I'm gone.
Do you work on new construction?
Yes, and it's one of the smartest things you can do. If you're building, get me in before the drywall to pre-wire for network, speakers, theater, and cameras — it saves thousands versus retrofitting later.
Do you handle HOA approvals for exterior cameras or mounts?
I do. A lot of Utah neighborhoods — especially places like Daybreak and the newer Saratoga Springs and Herriman communities — have HOA rules on exterior work. I place things to stay within the rules and can help with the approval paperwork.
Do you install Starlink and rural internet?
Yes. Out in spots like Eagle Mountain and the Heber Valley where cable doesn't reach, I mount and align Starlink and build the whole-home WiFi around it so every room gets a strong signal.
What happens if I need something adjusted after the install?
Just reach out. I stand behind my work and I'm local — if you need a preset tweaked or something moved down the road, I'll take care of you.

Building or buying a new home
What to wire, what it costs, and when to bring me in.
What should I wire before drywall in a new home?
The essentials: Cat6A network drops to every room (two per bedroom, four in living areas), a central wiring closet, ceiling drops for WiFi access points, speaker wire for whole-home audio and theater, PoE lines for security cameras and a video doorbell, conduit from basement to attic for future upgrades, and a neutral wire at every switch for smart lighting.
Is pre-wiring a new home worth it?
Almost always. Pre-wiring during construction runs about $3,000–$8,000 — roughly 1–2% of the build — while retrofitting the same wiring later costs $10,000–$25,000+. That's a 40–60% savings, because the walls are already open.
How many ethernet drops should a new home have?
A good rule of thumb is two Cat6A drops per bedroom, four in main living areas, two per office, plus a ceiling drop for each WiFi access point. Most modern Utah homes end up with 20–30+ total drops, home-run to a central closet.
Cat6 or Cat6A for a new house?
Cat6A is the 2026 baseline — 10 Gbps to 100 meters, better PoE heat handling for cameras and access points, and ready for Wi-Fi 7 and Matter. It's a small upcharge now and it future-proofs the house.
When do you need to come out during the build?
After electrical and plumbing rough-in, but before insulation and drywall — usually weeks 6–12. I walk the framing with your builder to lock the wiring-closet location, cable routes, and speaker and mount positions.
Can I add smart-home features after the house is built?
Some, yes — but the wiring is the expensive part to add later. Running cable during framing costs a fraction of fishing finished walls, and some runs aren't even possible after the fact because of fire breaks. Pre-wire now, add the gear whenever you're ready.
What does new-home pre-wire cost in Utah?
A typical whole-home pre-wire package runs about $2,500–$4,500; larger or more complex homes $4,400–$15,000+. Per network drop it's roughly $150–$250. You'll get an itemized quote before I start.
Do you work with my builder?
Yes — I coordinate directly with your builder and electrician so the low-voltage rough-in lines up with the schedule, respects the other trades, and passes inspection.

For builders & contractors
Takeoffs, per-plan pricing, scheduling, and getting me on your bid list.
Do you coordinate with our electrician and other trades?
Yes. I walk the plan with your electrician to align rough-in, respect trade boundaries and box/mud-ring placement, plan neutral wires and conduit pathways before framing closes, and flag conflicts on paper during design so they don't become change orders at rough-in.
Can you price per plan for our production communities?
Yes. Send me your plan set and I'll produce a takeoff and a fixed per-plan price for each floor plan, with volume pricing across the community — predictable, repeatable low-voltage numbers you can drop straight into your budgets and options sheets.
Are you licensed and insured to work on our jobsites?
Yes. I carry the required low-voltage licensing plus general liability and workers' comp, and I provide a current certificate of insurance, W-9, and references on request so your estimating team can add me to your approved trade-partner list with no friction.
Who is our single point of contact on a job?
Me. One dedicated point of contact who owns scheduling, on-site coordination, documentation, and punch-list — one number to call and one company responsible for the low-voltage scope from pre-wire through trim-out and testing.
Do you do plan-set takeoffs from our drawings?
Yes. I take off directly from your plan set to quantify drops, device locations, and pathways, then return a clear bid broken into materials, labor, and scope so you can see exactly what's included and compare apples to apples.
Can you handle both production and custom homes?
Yes. For production builds I standardize a repeatable per-plan package and hit volume schedules; for custom and luxury homes I collaborate early on design, layout, and component placement so the infrastructure is built in during rough-in rather than retrofitted later.
Why should our low-voltage go in before drywall?
Running structured wiring during rough-in costs a fraction of a post-drywall retrofit, avoids opening finished walls, and lets the home ship move-in ready. Integrated smart-home wiring also helps homes sell faster and command a premium — which protects your margins and your buyers' experience.
How do we get you on our bid list?
Send me your plans or a request to bid and I'll return a takeoff-based quote, my COI and license, and references from other builders I partner with. Text or call 801-735-8056 to start.
