CATJACKS installs the wiring your home needs—whether you want a complete system or already chose your own router, access points, cameras, switches, or network plan.
The office wall started completely blank. CATJACKS routed new cabling throughout the home, relocated the fiber modem from the kitchen, and built a clean network center in the office.
There was no enclosure, no central network location, and no existing path through a basement or crawlspace. The project had to be planned and routed through a finished two-story home.
Seven new drops were routed to the living-room TV, game consoles, projector, and two offices. The fiber modem was relocated from the kitchen into a structured enclosure placed exactly where it belongs in the office.
Most homeowners are forced to choose between weak WiFi, exposed wiring, or a large drywall repair project. CATJACKS is built to avoid all three.
Some clients want CATJACKS to design the full network. Others already researched every device and only need the difficult wiring completed cleanly. Both are welcome.
Bring your own UniFi, Omada, Eero, Deco, Orbi, Reolink, Ring, gaming equipment, switches, racks, or other compatible gear. CATJACKS can install the infrastructure without forcing you into a product package.
You do not lose control by asking for professional input. CATJACKS can review placement, PoE needs, switch capacity, network layout, and the physical path through the home.
Whether CATJACKS designs the system or follows your plan, the installation process stays simple.
We review your rooms, equipment, network goals, and the cleanest path before drilling begins.
The difficult work happens inside walls, ceilings, attics, or crawlspaces so the finished rooms stay clean.
The line is terminated, tested, labeled, cleaned up, and ready for your equipment or ours.
CATJACKS holds the honest middle on purpose: qualified for finished homes, insured, experienced, committed to quality parts, and accountable until the job is done right.
Lower prices often come from finishing the job as quickly as possible.
A clean finished-home installation without turning the project into a renovation.
Higher quotes often rely on opening the walls to make the route easier.
One end costs you in quality. The other can cost you in drywall, cleanup, and a painter. CATJACKS holds the honest middle on purpose: qualified for finished homes, insured, experienced, built around quality parts, and committed until the job is done right.
The difference is not whether someone owns a drill. It is whether one company combines clean retrofit skill, network design knowledge, specialty tools, proper testing, client-owned gear support, and responsibility for how the home looks afterward.
| What matters | CATJACKS | Electrician | Audio / Video | Handyman |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary specialty | Finished-home network retrofits Clean hidden wiring and a working network are treated as one project. |
Power, circuits, panels, lighting, and electrical code work. | TVs, theaters, speakers, and equipment packages. | General household repairs and simple installation tasks. |
| Hidden wiring | Core service Routes are planned through walls, ceilings, attics, crawlspaces, closets, and floor systems to protect the finished look. |
Often drywall-dependent Direct access may mean more wall openings. |
Surface paths are common Raceway, exposed cable, and holes through floors, ceilings, or closets may be accepted. |
Tool-dependent Clean results vary with the individual’s retrofit experience and specialty tools. |
| Network topology | Designed with the cable Access-point placement, PoE, switching, uplinks, device limits, and future growth are considered before the route is committed. |
Usually outside the core trade A cable may be installed without planning the network using it. |
Knowledge varies and may center on the AV products being sold. | Usually limited Compatibility and topology may be left to the homeowner. |
| Your own equipment | Fully DIY-friendly Use your own UniFi, Omada, Eero, Deco, Orbi, Reolink, Ring, rack, switch, plan, or compatible equipment. |
May install the requested cable or outlet, with limited network review. | Often sales-led May prefer a specific brand, package, or ecosystem. |
Usually flexible, but product compatibility knowledge varies. |
| Parts and testing | Quality materials + proper qualification Correct cable, terminations, labeling, testing, and documentation are part of the finished result. |
Strong electrical test practices; network qualification equipment and standards vary. | Quality depends on the company, package, and products selected. | Higher mismatch risk Low-quality parts or basic continuity testers may be used. |
| Home protection | Part of the service Route planning, floor and furniture protection, careful drilling, fire-blocking, clean staging, and cleanup are treated like work in my own home. |
Professional protection varies by company; repair trades may still be required after access cuts. | Often clean around visible equipment, but hidden routing may prioritize speed and accessibility. | Varies greatly by the individual and scope. |
| How you are charged | Clear result-based pricing You are paying for the completed clean installation, not watching an hourly clock run during a difficult route. |
Often hourly, so difficult access can increase labor cost. | Frequently bundled with equipment, design, and product markup. | Usually inexpensive, but scope, parts, testing, and finish quality may be less defined. |
| Best choice when... | You want the complete finished-home result Hidden wiring, tested performance, network understanding, premium care, and freedom to use the gear you prefer. |
You need electrical power, a panel, a circuit, or licensed electrical work. | You want a turnkey theater or AV package from one equipment provider. | You need a small general repair or a straightforward mounting task. |
Real Google reviews from clients who trusted CATJACKS with their homes, wiring, and networks.
CATJACKS was built from experience on both sides of the wall. I have worked as an internet installer, security installer, new-construction cabling technician, and network support professional. That background matters because a clean cable route is only half of a good installation. The cable also has to land in the right place, support the right equipment, carry PoE correctly, and fit the home’s long-term network plan.
I personally study the home, work through the difficult attic or crawlspace route, install and dress the cable, terminate it, test it, and verify that it supports the system you are building. You are not hiring a salesperson who sends an unknown technician. The person planning the result is the person responsible for delivering it.
The full video shows the planning, hidden work, and finished result inside a real home.

The price reflects a completely hidden route whenever the home allows it, quality materials, proper termination, real cable testing, labeling, network knowledge, construction knowledge, home protection, and responsibility for the finished result.
The goal is to avoid drywall cuts whenever a clean hidden route is possible. CATJACKS uses the home’s walls, ceilings, attic, crawlspace, basement, closets, and existing pathways before treating drywall damage as the answer.
Those shortcuts are avoided whenever a hidden path is possible. The service is designed around a finished-home result that looks built-in rather than added afterward.
Yes. Completed lines are professionally terminated, tested, and labeled before the installation is considered finished.
Yes. Existing cables can often be identified, terminated, labeled, tested, connected to the correct equipment, and turned into a working home network.
Often, yes. Relocating the network starting point can remove equipment from the wrong room, make existing Ethernet usable, improve equipment organization, and create a better network layout.
Yes. Hardwiring access points or mesh nodes gives them a real wired connection back to the network. Hardwiring TVs, consoles, computers, and other stationary devices also reduces the load on WiFi.
Yes. CATJACKS installs the hidden Ethernet route and can mount compatible ceiling access points in locations planned for both coverage and appearance.
Yes. Compatible PoE cameras and doorbells can be installed with hidden network cabling, proper placement, testing, and a clean finished appearance.
