Frequently asked questions
When should I schedule a pre-wire?
After framing and rough electrical, and before insulation and drywall. Reach out as early as possible so we can plan locations with you and your builder.
Can you work with my builder?
Yes. We coordinate timing with your builder or general contractor so the low-voltage work fits the construction schedule.
What does a pre-wire cost?
Residential pre-wire starts at $600 and commercial pre-wire starts at $999. Final pricing depends on square footage, the number of drops and the project scope.
Do you handle commercial pre-wire?
Yes. From offices and retail spaces to warehouses and mixed-use developments, we install scalable network, Wi-Fi, camera and access control wiring.
What is low-voltage pre-wire?
Low-voltage wiring carries data and signals rather than household electricity. It covers Ethernet, security cameras, Wi-Fi access points, TV and audio wiring, and smart home devices. Pre-wire means running it while the walls are open, before insulation and drywall.
What is included in a new construction pre-wire?
Typically Ethernet (Cat6 or Cat6A) cabling, security camera wiring, Wi-Fi access point locations, a structured media panel, conduit for future expansion, TV, audio and smart home wiring, fiber-ready pathways, and cable labeling and documentation. Your quote lists exactly what is included for your project.
Why pre-wire before the drywall goes up?
With the walls open, cable can be routed cleanly and out of sight. Adding wiring to a finished home usually means cutting into walls or running visible raceways, so pre-wire is faster, cleaner and more cost-effective. It also leaves you with no visible cables and better Wi-Fi coverage.
How do I decide where wiring drops should go?
Start from your floor plan. Think about where the TVs, home office, gaming and media areas, Wi-Fi access points and cameras will go. We review the plan with you and your builder, suggest locations, and mark everything so the walls are ready before they close.
