Cody and the Reference AV team were fantastic. We had trouble getting a WiFi signal throughout our 110+ year old house in Des Moines.

They partnered with an electrician, scheduled it all and they showed up on the same morning to get the job done. We love it!

Cody and Chad at Reference are the best. They are patient, especially since I’m illiterate when it comes to technology, and very helpful.
