A complete home-network approach

How homeowners are resolving their network issues

Reliable home networks are built in layers: wire the devices that use the most data, improve Wi-Fi where people use multiple devices, then match the equipment to the home's speed and demand.

1

Add Ethernet for heavy-use devices

Hardwire devices that download heavily or use audio and video, including TVs, game consoles, streaming devices, and work computers.

2

Add Wi-Fi coverage where people use it

Install in-ceiling access points in areas where homeowners are most likely to use multiple wireless devices at the same time.

3

Upgrade the equipment to match demand

Choose routers, switches, and access points that support the home's internet speed, number of users, and real-world usage.

Ethernet handles the heavy traffic. In-ceiling Wi-Fi provides coverage. Properly sized equipment brings the entire network together.

Why $795?

Three approaches to home Ethernet—and why CATJACKS is the specialist.

The lowest quote can sacrifice planning and finish quality. The highest quote often brings commercial pricing and unnecessary complexity. CATJACKS is purpose-built for finished homes.

Low end
$400

Lower prices often come from treating a difficult retrofit like a quick cable pull.

  • Exposed wiring or direct holes may replace a carefully planned hidden route
  • Little time may be spent protecting the finished appearance of the home
  • Testing, labeling, materials, and future network planning may be limited
CATJACKS
$795

A premium finished-home installation without turning the project into a renovation or a commercial buildout.

  • Hidden routing planned specifically for finished homes
  • Professional Cat6 materials, termination, labeling, and testing
  • One specialist responsible for the route, network performance, and finished appearance
Commercial installer
$1,200+

Commercial network companies may bring commercial rates and methods to a residential retrofit.

  • Commercial labor rates for a project inside a home
  • Over-complicated designs and equipment beyond what the homeowner needs
  • Work may be assigned to subcontractors who are not finished-home retrofit specialists

Why $795?

CATJACKS sits between bargain cable pulling and commercial overengineering. The price covers specialized planning, professional tools, quality materials, hidden routing, testing, home protection, and one accountable specialist from start to finish.

Compare your options

Three obvious reasons general providers are a poor fit for difficult home retrofits.

Each trade has a place. Finished-home Ethernet retrofits require a specialist who understands hidden pathways, network performance, and the appearance of the home.

Homeowner proof

What homeowners say after the work is finished.

Real Google reviews from clients who trusted CATJACKS with their homes, wiring, and networks.

Built like it was always there

Seven new Ethernet drops. Two floors. No basement or crawlspace.

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.

Before
Before CATJACKS installation with loose network cables coming through the wall

A blank wall and a home with no wired network.

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.

  • No structured network enclosure
  • No central location for the fiber modem
  • No Ethernet at the planned devices
  • No basement or crawlspace for easy routing
CATJACKS Final
Completed CATJACKS structured media enclosure with organized and Velcro-secured network equipment

A complete wired network built into the 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.

  • Seven new Ethernet drops across both floors
  • Living-room TV, game consoles, projector, and two offices connected
  • Fiber modem relocated from the kitchen to the office enclosure
  • Cabling organized, secured with reusable Velcro, and serviceable
This was not an enclosure swap. It was a whole-home retrofit. The finished cabinet is the visible result of route planning, difficult two-story cabling, modem relocation, termination, testing, labeling, and clean equipment organization.
The obvious difference

Your home should not have to look worse to get better internet.

Most homeowners are forced to choose between weak WiFi, exposed wiring, or a large drywall repair project. CATJACKS is built to avoid all three.

A rushed installation
  • Wire left exposed or run along trim
  • Holes through floors or ceilings where they remain visible
  • Equipment placed where the installer can reach it fastest
  • No testing, labeling, or plan for future upgrades
The CATJACKS approach
  • Wire hidden through the home
  • Locations planned around appearance and everyday use
  • Every line tested before completion
  • Quality parts and a plan that supports future upgrades
DIY-friendly by design

Already chose your own gear? Keep your plan.

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.

You stay in control of the equipment.

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.

  • Cabling-only projects are welcome
  • Your network diagram or device plan can be followed
  • Ports can be installed for equipment you will configure later
  • Pull strings and extra capacity can be added for future DIY upgrades
  • CATJACKS can point out physical-route or network-topology issues before installation

Need a second set of eyes?

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.

  • Use all of your gear
  • Use part of your plan
  • Ask CATJACKS to improve the plan
  • Choose cabling only or a complete installation
Simple process

Three clear steps. One clean result.

Whether CATJACKS designs the system or follows your plan, the installation process stays simple.

1

Confirm the plan

We review your rooms, equipment, network goals, and the cleanest path before drilling begins.

2

Hide the work

The difficult work happens inside walls, ceilings, attics, or crawlspaces so the finished rooms stay clean.

3

Finish and test

The line is terminated, tested, labeled, cleaned up, and ready for your equipment or ours.

Cabling skill meets network knowledge

I understand both the path through the home and the network at the end of it.

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.

Field cabling experience Finished walls, tight attic corners, crawlspaces, exterior walls, floor-to-floor routes, cameras, access points, and network centers.
Technical network experience Switching, WiFi, PoE, topology, device placement, troubleshooting, testing, labeling, and performance verification.
One person owns the result The plan, drilling, routing, termination, testing, cleanup, and finished appearance stay under one specialist.
Technical enough to understand the network. Skilled enough to get the cable there cleanly. That combination is what separates CATJACKS from a general installer who only handles one side of the project.
Purpose-built for finished homes

Specialized tools reduce guesswork before the first hole is drilled.

Finished-home Ethernet requires more than a drill and a spool of cable. CATJACKS uses advanced mapping, inspection, scanning, fishing, and drilling equipment to plan safer routes and adapt to hidden obstacles.

🥽

Mixed-Reality Home Mapping

A spatial headset helps map room relationships, wall alignment, and possible cable routes across floors before drilling.

📡

Radar Wall Scanning

A professional wall scanner helps identify framing, metal, electrical wiring, and plumbing hidden behind finished surfaces.

📷

Inspection Cameras

Small cameras provide a view inside walls, ceilings, and concealed spaces to verify conditions instead of relying on guesswork.

🧲

Cable-Fishing Systems

Fish tapes, glow rods, flexible rods, magnetic tools, pull strings, and specialty retrieval tools handle different wall and insulation conditions.

🛠️

Specialty Drill Systems

Drill bits and attachments in many shapes, angles, diameters, and lengths make difficult attic, crawlspace, closet, and floor-to-floor routes possible.

Professional Cable Testing

Every completed Ethernet run is terminated, labeled, and professionally tested before the installation is considered finished.

Technology does not replace experience—it makes experience more precise. CATJACKS combines specialized equipment with years of retrofit judgment to protect your home and deliver a cleaner result.

Frequently asked questions

Seven questions homeowners ask before hiring CATJACKS.

Clear answers about pricing, wall damage, timing, equipment, testing, and what makes a finished-home specialist different.

Why does one Ethernet drop cost $795?

The price covers specialized finished-home route planning, professional tools, quality Cat6 materials, hidden installation whenever the home allows it, termination, labeling, testing, home protection, cleanup, and one accountable specialist responsible for the finished result.

Will you have to cut my drywall?

The goal is to avoid visible drywall damage whenever a safe hidden route is possible. CATJACKS first evaluates walls, ceilings, attics, crawlspaces, basements, closets, and existing pathways. If access is truly necessary, the options are discussed before proceeding.

Why should I hardwire devices instead of relying only on Wi-Fi or mesh?

Ethernet gives stationary devices and Wi-Fi access points a dedicated wired connection. That improves reliability, lowers latency, supports full-speed wired backhaul, and frees wireless capacity for phones, tablets, and mobile devices.

How long will my installation take?

A typical single-drop or modem-relocation project often takes several hours. Larger multi-room projects may require one or more full days. The expected scope and schedule are reviewed during the virtual quote.

Can CATJACKS install equipment I already purchased?

Yes. Compatible customer-supplied routers, switches, access points, cameras, racks, and other network equipment are welcome. CATJACKS can follow your plan, review it for problems, or recommend a complete solution.

How do you know it is safe to drill and that the cable works?

CATJACKS uses mapping tools, radar wall scanning, inspection cameras, specialized drilling equipment, and route verification to reduce risk around hidden obstacles and utilities. Every completed Ethernet run is then professionally terminated, labeled, and tested.

Why choose CATJACKS instead of an electrician, AV company, or commercial installer?

CATJACKS specializes in the combination of finished-home cable routing and network performance. General providers may be excellent in their own trade, but residential retrofits require a different approach: hidden pathways, home protection, practical network design, specialized tools, and responsibility for how the home looks afterward.
