CAT6 data drops, speaker pre-wire, security camera rough-in, and home theater wiring — installed cleanly during new construction or renovation. Every cable run clean. Every endpoint labeled. Designed for how you'll actually use the home.
Running a single CAT6 drop to a room during rough-in costs roughly $80–$150 in labor. The same drop after drywall — fishing cable through walls, drilling through fire blocking, patching two holes — costs $400–$800. Speaker wire for a room that will eventually have in-ceiling audio costs $50–$100 to pre-wire before drywall and $600–$1,200 to retrofit after. The right time to wire a Lancaster County home for the next 30 years of technology is now, while the walls are open.
Every package is designed before the first cable is pulled. We produce a cable schedule your builder can reference and an as-built diagram after installation.
Wired ethernet to every room that matters — home office, bedrooms, living room, media room, and anywhere a streaming device or smart TV will sit. All runs home to a central patch panel. 10-gigabit capable. No WiFi dead spots, no buffering, no bandwidth sharing with your phones and tablets. This is the foundation of a reliable smart home network.
14-gauge or 16-gauge speaker wire rough-in to ceiling locations for future in-ceiling speaker installation — living room, kitchen, master bedroom, outdoor zones. We place rough-in boxes at the ceiling speaker locations and home the wire to the amplifier location. When you're ready for audio, the wire is already there.
CAT6 cable runs to exterior camera mounting locations — front door, driveway, garage, rear of home — all terminating at the equipment rack location. Each run includes a conduit stub at the exterior so cameras can be mounted cleanly without exposed cable. Covers IP camera systems (Hikvision, Reolink, Ubiquiti) and smart camera ecosystems (Ring, Arlo, Nest).
Complete home theater rough-in including HDMI and speaker wire runs through the wall to all surround positions, TV location wiring with in-wall HDMI conduit, and a dedicated AV equipment location with power and conduit back to the main run. We design the speaker placement for your room geometry and run wire to the exact positions before drywall.
All low-voltage runs terminate in a central media or utility room location — a structured media center enclosure or custom rack where your router, switch, NVR, and amplifiers live. We design the panel location for access and airflow, label every run with a permanent cable schedule, and leave you with documentation of what goes where. Every future installer who works in your home will thank you.
Everything above in a single coordinated package: data, coax, speaker, camera, theater, and motorized shade pre-wire, all designed together so nothing conflicts and every future installation goes in cleanly. We work with your builder or GC to schedule during the right rough-in window, produce a complete cable schedule, and leave as-built documentation. This is the foundation that makes every future system installation faster and cleaner.
Once drywall goes up, the cost of wiring right goes up 3–5×. Tell us where you are in the build and what systems you're planning — we'll produce a pre-wire plan that fits your timeline and budget.
