  Before agreeing to purchase anything from them, I would get a second opinion and research the actual dealer cost of the materials for your project. In addition to charging close to $20,000 in labor to basically put speakers in every room in a Manhattan apt and a projector and projector screen (for the projector they told me I needed to pay a separate contractor several thousand dollars for its installation) , mike and his staff also mark up the cost of the materials tremendously. For example, he tried to charge me $17500 for a SIM2 projector. The MSRP is $15500. I was willing to pay MSRP. I further researched the dealer cost of the projector and it was $10000. Mike thus was trying to make $7500 in markup on this one item in addition to marking up all the speakers (by over 40%) and other items. I then told him I would purchase the projector myself. He then went to add over $8000 to our agreed upon contract out of spite. He then made up fake labor hours (my building keeps track of hours every time someone enters my apt) and plagurized a design plan another vendor made and tried to keep thousands of dollars from the deposit that I already paid him. I am thus pursuing litigation and filed a complaint with the better business bureau. Buyers beware!

  Be careful dealing with AV Design & Integration in Elmsford, NY. We hired them to install an audio visual system at a cost of more than $110,000. They delivered and charged us for equipment we did not need, refused to take it back or refund our money. They failed and refused to correct obvious deficiencies in their work and we had to hire another contractor at a cost of $30,000 to clean up their mess at an additional significant cost to us. Hiring AV was a huge mistake.

  I worked for AV Design... the worst company I ever worked. They are incompetent and they don’t have a good management and engineering. They send me to work without engineering, NO real project manager. Very disappointing. When they hire you they promise a lot of things but you end to pay for drill bits and consumables from your pocket. If you have a car your mileage it’s a bonus. I work for AVDesign 7 months, it was enough to see a lot of incompetence and slack off experience. AVOID MIKE DEMELLO!!!
