Excellence Audio Visual

These reviews seem fraudulent. We hired Barry to install a sound system and cameras in our commercial space. In writing, we agreed to pay a large 50% deposit upfront and then the remaining 50% within 5 days of completion. The NIGHT before the job, Barry demanded another $6,000 (25% of the job) to cover the cost of equipment. His behavior was always "off" but became more erratic and stranger in past few weeks. I feel like I was completely scammed.

Back in the summer we hired Mr. Barry, owner of Elite A/V of SW Florida, to install multiple TVs and related home theater equipment, receivers, mounting equipment at our commercial facility. What started as a straightforward job turned into a complete nightmare. Instead of setting everything up properly under our accounts, he slyly registered all the equipment in his own name and Gmail address. Now, weeks later, we're stuck battling manufacturers just to regain access to gear we paid for outright! Barry has ghosted us?no returned calls, no emails, nothing. We foolishly paid him in full upfront, only to get shoddy, half-baked work that left us high and dry. This isn't just poor service; it's unethical and feels like a outright scam. Do yourself a favor: Research this guy thoroughly and steer clear. We're filing complaints with every board we can find. Total waste of time and money?stay away!

Barry has been in the business for a long time and is a true professional in his field. He did wonderful job installing my TV and sound system. In addition when I experienced an issue with the TV, Barry was right there to help me deal with the manufacture to get the issue totally resolved. I would highly recommend Barry for TV and sound installations.

He was on time, did the work quickly, cleaned up, did a great job.

Excellent work!

Barry was extremely knowledgeable about the type of outdoor tv we needed and what the process would be. He was prompt with delivery, did the installation quickly with no mess and made recommendations about other AV items for our home - without it being a sales pitch. Would highly recommend this company and will be using them again

Barry & his co-worker were on time and completed our project quickly and efficiently. We are so pleased with their work! Would absolutely recommend Elite A/V based on our experiences & their professionalism!

Excellent service, punctual and quick.

Excellent in every way

Professional and attention to detail.

It was perfect - on time, top notch execution, friendly, responsive. Will hire again!

on-time and professional

great work

He was fast and did a good job but I did NOT like the last minute extra charge of $25 above the quoted rate. I was quoted $100 and offered to pay in cash. When he arrived, he said that the swivel wall mount would be an extra $25. Had I known ahead of time, then I would?ve just booked it through Costo?s TV mounting service which is only $100.

Barry was efficient, knowledgeable and very reasonable for the 65â tv mount and sound bar job. He also had a few items in his truck that we didnâ t have to complete the job. His helper was also very helpful showing us how to maneuver through apps and channels with the remote.

Very good. Showed up, which puts him ahead of many other contractors. Showed up exactly on time which is practically unheard of in SWFL. I take away a half a star because they were supposed to bring an electrician who did not show up.

Barry was timely, experienced and did a great job x 2!

All went very well

Great guys and professional . Workman ship was prefect and on time as they promised. Highly recommended. Doug

Barry was very professional on time always kept me informed . They did a great job at a fair price . i would use them again . Doug

They arrived on time and were done in less than 1 hour. The work performed was professional and saved me some money over more renown companies such as Best Buy. After the installation they made sure to clean the work area. I was very satisfied with the work performed and would highly recommend them to anybody.

Great service. Great price. Professional.

Barry West came, evaluate my situation, then let me make the decisions. I recommend he and his company.

Elite was responded quickly to my work request. Came on time, was professional and knowledgeable. In addition to working on electronics this company will hang pictures, mirrors, etc. Would not hesitate to hire them again.

Fast, efficient and very friendly!
