Roger was punctual and he did the work exactly as agreed. He also finished before the time that he had estimated so we ended up paying less than we planned which was a pleasant bonus. We would recommend Roger to anyone. He is not just knowledgeable but truly honest, which is important to us.

Prompt, courteous and professional. Roger did a fabulous job for us. Our new cabinet set up provided limited working space and Roger was able to get everything set up, wires hidden in the wall, and working great. He also helped to explain how to use the remotes and access applications. We will be replacing another tv in the bedroom and plan to have Roger back to wall mount that tv as well. Highly recommned.

Working with the Theater Doctor was great. Our broken theater projector was so old, it was cheaper to replace with a new and improved projector. The Theater Doctor answered all of our questions and was great to work with!

He did a great job and I have already recommended him to two of our friends. He made it look easy and took his time to do it right. Thank you Roger. I know I can count on you for future work.
Description of Work: He advised us on which TV and mount would be best for our home. He placed the direct tv box out of sight, mounted our new TV to the fireplace and made everything work like magic. It is so be autiful . He was a professional every step of the way.

Roger did a very nice job but became a bit pressed for time toward the end. I wish he could have stayed an additional 20-30 mins to recalibrate the various sound zones but overall a good experience.

I appreciate your review. I apologize for seeming in a bit of a rush. You Angie's List people keep me really busy! You had told me over the phone when we scheduled the appointment that you needed the job done by noon. So, I got there a half hour early to try to complete on time. As it was, I finished at 1 PM, and was late to my next (Angie's List) appointment with no time for lunch. I would be more than happy to give you a free return trip for a tune up. Just call to make an appointment. Thanks!

Roger was very responsive even at the first call. He gave me some coaching on what to buy and how his process worked. Day of install he right on time with a call ahead that he was on his way. The work exceeded my expectations in that at Roger's suggestion we ran the wiring to the other side of the wall where we could conceal the cable box under the bed. The result looks fantastic. TT is straight and well positioned, the soundbar is clean a neat plus there are no wires at all showing on the wall with the TV. In cleaning up Roger was particular to get everything vacuumed and cleaned up as it was. When I asked for the total ROger automatically deducted $25 off as a "first time Angie's list customer". After Roger left, a few hours later I had a quick question he was happy to take my call and suggest a remedy to the programming issue.

Great review! Looking at this job I thought, "what am I going to do with this ugly cable box??" The other side of the wall was a bedroom with the head of the bed right there. Why not put the cable box under the bed? The Samsung TV included an infrared emitter which I used to control the cable box without needing line of sight for remote control. The result was a TV and sound bar that appeared to float on the wall with no visible wires anywhere. I'm pretty proud of this one!

I was in the market for an installer to mount a 55 inch flat screen tv on my living room wall. I went on Angie's list and found a few potential installers. I called Roger from the Home Theater Doctor LLC and left a voicemail message. Within 15 mins of leaving a message, Roger called me back to ask what type of work I wanted done. I told him what I wanted and he said that he would be able to come out the following day and install the bracket and tv. We set up an appointment time and he was on time (even early) the next day. Upon arrival, Roger was very friendly. I showed him where the tv was to be mounted. He went out to his vehicle, got his tools, and got right to work. It took him about 30 - 45 mins for the install and afterwards, the job looked very clean and professional. The tv was mounted at the perfect height and was also perfectly level. I would definitely use The Home Theater Doctor again if I choose to do any more audio/video setups.

Everything was done with care and precision exactly as I wanted. Roger spent his own personal time finding speaker brackets that would work for me. I then ordered them and confirmed their arrival with Roger and then he made appointment to complete the job and I am very pleased with the results.
Description of Work: Provider helped me find brackets on his own time and then installed them exactly as I wanted for ONLY $50. His service call was $75 and after discounting with coupon from Angie's List I paid only $50. What a deal!! He did a great job and was early to arrive for appointment after calling me several times to get the brackets ordered and confirm arrival. Roger did a very nice and is very pleasant to work with. Thank, Roger!!

Thanks for the great review! It was hard to visualize what you wanted over the phone, but once I got there, I got it. I was thankful that my research paid off, and I was able to find usable brackets for you (frankly, I was a little worried about that!) It's my philosophy to put the same care and precision into every job, large or small.

It went great for me but I think it was more than what roger had hope for. There were circumstances beyond his control that caused him to be here longer than expected but he remained the consummate professional and did a great job and what I felt was a great price. Just the amount of time he spent should have totaled more than the actual charge in my opinion . Once the installation was complete he programmed everything to make sure it worked and after trouble shooting a few things the system is up and working great, I will be calling him back for my next project which is flush mounted speakers in the ceiling for a music system. Thanks Roger .

Roger was very responsive to all of my questions prior to service and very competitively priced for the services and install he provided (we had 3 separate quotes for the work and his was very competitive). He was always on time and very professional. Even when unexpected road blocks occurred he was able to adapt quickly and find solutions. In the end he had installed new speakers throughout the house, created multiple sound zones, connected all devices (receiver, blu-ray, DirecTV DVR, wireless connection, Apple Airplay) and most importantly taught me how to work it all! He made sure that I fully understood all functions and operation of the universal remote prior to leaving. He also offered to be available for any questions that may arise later. Great work!!

Called Roger and two days later he was at our house working on the equipment. He was very professional and explained how to work the remote after he was finished. He made a call when he had to be a little late to let me know when to expect him. He did not even charge us travel time, which a lot of service people do. We are pretty far out west. I thought that was very fair. We will be calling him for later installations.

I had service performed by the Home Theater Doctor. It was amazing. Licensed Low Voltage Contractor, Professional, on time (to the minute), knowledgeable and extremely thorough. He took amazing care to make sure my television mount was absolutely level. His scope of work wasn't even limited to just my home theater .... an example: I just moved into my new house, I called Cox Cable to "Register" my HD Cable box and Internet Router. The service had been "Turned On" several days ago. Cox told me I wasn't getting a signal. Cox then asked if the house has ever had Satellite service before; I answered "Yes" and they immediately said that they'd have to send a tech out to diagnose the wiring, but that would take a couple of days, and ultimately cost me $39.99 (trip charge). Roger objected to this outcome stating "No reason you should wait a couple days, you've just go to test the line and see which wire the signal is on, it'll take like 2 minutes. He walked outside, found three separate coax lines -- tested all of them and found the line with a signal .... connected that together and then BAM my cable and internet spring to life! Simply outstanding. The amount of work he did, the quality of work he performed and the extremely valuable education he provided about what he was doing and why he was doing it -- I would have expected a price 2 or 3 times what he charged. In reflection, I would have gladly paid it too! Working with Roger, the "Home Theater Doctor" is beyond the smartest choice you can make! Simply outstanding! I already have him schedule to return to perform more work as I get those components unpacked and ready for install.

My husband purchased a wireless Sonos Play 5 System for our home and tried to set it up with our existing sound system so we could stream music throughout the house. After a couple of days working on it and reading from the Sonos web page to no avail, we decided to call Roger, who is the owner of The Home Theater Doctor. Roger arrived on time and with little fanfare, set to work and in a very short time had the Sonos system working and integrated with our existing sound system He also programmed a new universal remote, to make it easier to deal with one remote for our cable, tuner,dvd player and streaming of music and movies. We have also asked Roger to price a security system with cameras to install in the future. Roger is professional, proficient, courteous and we highly recommend his services!

Excellent. Roger is a real professional; not one of these fly-by-night kinda people. He arrived on time for both appointments. He did a beautiful job on both tv's and I was really impressed that the mess of wires we had before is now gone. He dusted off our electronics before reconnecting. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field of expertise. We love our new universal remote. It is so easy to use. Did I mention his prices are substantially lower than other companies that perform the same exact services? We definitely plan to use Roger again in the future to install some surround speakers. Very, very happy with him.
Description of Work: We had two tv's mounted; one was a 70" (incl general clean-up and organization of wires). We had to have Roger drop a cable line in our office for one of the tv's. We purchased a universal remote and he programmed that as well.

This is the kind of story that tells you why Angie's List is so terrific. I had called the company I had used in the past on Thursday and explained that I needed to have our new system set up for the week-end as we had guests coming in from out of town.Friday morning my guy canceled and so I went to Angie's List. I got hold of Roger, explained the urgency and he said he would try for Friday afternoon. He showed up at 2:00 p.m. stayed 3 hours, hooked up everything after he tore out all the old stuff. He was absolutely fantastic. I will never use anyone else in the future. Roger is my guy.

Roger did a wonderful job and was very patient. The TV was a surprise gift for my husband and he was supposed to be gone when Roger arrived. However, my husband was still at the house when Roger called to say that he was here. I asked Roger to drive down the street and wait just a few minutes for my husband to leave, which he did without complaint. Also, Roger was very patient with me. He asked me where I wanted the TV and I had him hold a piece of cardboard in several locations while I selected the perfect location for viewing the TV from the couch and several different chairs. His price was reasonable and he didn't change it even when he discovered that the TV mount that I had bought was a time-consuming mount to install. Roger did a very nice job including drilling some holes in the wall and putting in cable and electrical outlets so that all of the cords were hidden in the wall. He was also very neat, and used the unfolded TV mount box to catch the drywall plaster powder that resulted from drilling into the wall to mount the TV and install the outlets. I hadn't thought to buy and HDMI cable and he had one on his truck. He was out of the white outlet box covers, but came back without charge and installed them when they came in. I was very happy with Roger's service and would use him again.

He does excellent work and not very expensive. It was a lot less than I expected. he had to come back because I screwed something up then he spent about an hour with me training me on how to use the system. For a couple of hours or more he charged me $100 for the second trip. He's been to college. he knew what he was doing and he worked fast. he knew I didn't have a lot of money so he didn't try to talk me into getting a universal remote and all that crap like most of them did. I told him I just wanted it to work, I don't care about efficiency. He did exactly what I asked him to.
