Job was well done.
Description of Work: John was on time and installed a dish on the roof, ran cables to two TV's in house, put in two boxes. When he left, all was working. We turned off the TV's and when we put them back on, one TV would not work. We called John again and he said he would come out on the following Friday the 14th. He came and found the problem. Everything worked good after that. The next day, he checked with me to see if everything was working. It was.

The serviceman, JR, arrived on time and provided quality service in installing my system. The products provided were of good quality at a fair price. His polite, professional manner was appreciated. This is the third or fourth time that I have used this company's services and have always been more than satisfied.
Description of Work: Installed speakers, receiver and flat screen television. Also, set up DIRECT TV for the system.

We had bought a VCR/DVD combo that plays and records. After working four days on end, we gave up. Someone had recommended Whitford as a company that could work miracles on figuring out these complicated entertainment units. JR was at the house working for over 3 hours, undoing everything we had done wrong and rewiring it correctly. He got everything wired correctly, and even though he was there 3 hours, only billed us for the standard house call, and minimum labor.
Description of Work: Installation of a home entertainment center.
