Suggestions for house wiring?

I need to have 2-3 cat 6 lines pulled to each bedroom/living room, 5-6 cat 6 lines pulled for security cameras, and 5-9 speaker wire lines run for surround sound/outside sound.
Can anyone suggest a company to do this work for me? everyone I have contacted states that they will only do total home automation and will not run wires.
* the house is already built, must be insured and have a license
Thanks

Try a local electrician. Ask around or check out craigslist. We found a guy through a friend and I've had him do all of my wiring needs the past couple of years.

GM Cable in Baton Rouge has the contract with the state for that kind of wiring and they do good work. Not sure if they handle home installations.
You can get an electrician to pull the cable for you but most of them are clueless when it comes to Cat6 wiring standards. Buy the Keystone jacks and a punch tool and do it yourself if you want it done right.

You can't DIY, it is not rocket science.

An alternative for your cat wiring would be to use powerline networking. You can turn an electrical outlet into an ethernet jack. Works very well in my town-home where it wouldn't be easy to run cat lines through 3 floors.
