A & B Custom Cable

We had put up with a cable running across our living room floor for about a year and wanted to place it under the floor. They dropped around the day after we called and fixed it no problem at all for $ 100. Pretty awesome considering the time and work involved in drilling and adding additional cable. Super nice guy to boot. Great to have such a good local business. Highly recommend.

Well, the address I had for this place was on N. Clark in Uptown/​Ravenswood… but the phone number is the same, so my info may be wrong.
We moved into our place a couple months ago and just haven’t gotten our TV hooked up. The previous owners had a kind of custom set up created, so we couldn’t get it all hooked up on our own. I called last weekend and they were available to come out within three days; we set up an appointment for the day before Thanksgiving — we wanted to be able to watch the parade and football games while working on our meal!
They guys (one of whom was Andy Blue, the General Manager) came out and spent about 4 hours getting the TV cables snaked through the wall and the TV mounted, and properly hooking up the cable, DVD and VCR. There were some problems with getting the sound and picture right, and we were missing at least one cable, so they needed to run out and get some supplies. When they were having problems, they even called a past employee who was able to offer his expertise; as I understand it (my boyfriend was home with them), this ex-​employee even came over and helped get it all figured out and set up.
I expected that the whole thing, from start to finish, would be something like an hour. When I found out it had been 4+, my blood pressure went through the roof as I considered what the cost could possibly be. For the two guys who came out (not counting the ex-​employee), at 4 hours, the charge was $ 250. I was completely floored — I expected it to be twice that at least when I learned how long it took. It was absolutely worth it to have them come out and set it up for us, and I’m so glad I can watch the game on something larger than my 19″ TV!
