Smart Home & AV Installation in Mission Viejo
Retrofit done cleanly in established neighborhoods, without opening finished walls.
Working in Mission Viejo
Most of Mission Viejo was built between the 1970s and the 1990s, which makes almost every project here a retrofit, and retrofit is a genuinely different skill from wiring an open frame. The houses are solid and well laid out, but they were built long before anyone was thinking about structured cabling, and the wall cavities reflect that.
The good news is that this era of construction is very workable. Accessible attics over most of the plan, generous closet stacks, and consistent framing mean we can usually get cable exactly where it needs to go without a single drywall patch. Where a run genuinely isn't feasible, wireless lighting control and RF shades cover it, and we'll tell you which is which before you commit to anything.
Around Lake Mission Viejo and up in Canyon Crest, the lots get larger and outdoor living becomes the focus: patio audio, landscape lighting on the same control system as the interior, and camera coverage that reaches the full perimeter rather than stopping at the back door.

“I had the pleasure of working with Ashkan on multiple AV installations in the past 10+ years. His team performed a complete update of the media room which includes a multi-screen projection home theater, music server, whole house audio, dedicated 2Ch HiFi system, as well as Crestron automation for AV, lighting & shades. The most recent project is a second HT AV system for the family room/kitchen remodel. It's a complex installation & we're very happy with the job. Ashkan is always professional, responsive & reliable with excellent after sales/installation supports. Highly recommended.”David NgOrange County · Home theater & whole house audioVerified Google review
“I have worked with Ashkan Baghaee for over seven years. He and his team installed and since have maintained the AV, WiFi, and camera systems at our house. They at all times have been effective, professional, and responsive. I have recommended Ashkan to numerous neighbors, friends, and relatives, and those who have worked with him have provided very positive reports. I will continue to recommend Ashkan to anyone in need of his services.”Don DickersonOrange County · AV, Wi-Fi & camerasVerified Google review

Which neighborhoods in Mission Viejo do you cover?
All of them, including Lake Mission Viejo, Canyon Crest, Casta del Sol, Palmia, and 2 more. If you're just outside the city limits, ask, because we cover the surrounding communities too.
What does a project in Mission Viejo usually involve?
Most of Mission Viejo was built between the 1970s and the 1990s, which makes almost every project here a retrofit, and retrofit is a genuinely different skill from wiring an open frame. The houses are solid and well laid out, but they were built long before anyone was thinking about structured cabling, and the wall cavities reflect that. We start with a free on site consultation so the proposal reflects your actual property rather than a generic package.
How quickly can you get out to Mission Viejo?
Usually within a few days for an initial consultation. We're based in Orange County, so we're not driving in from another county. That also means we're around for service after the install, which matters more than most people expect.
