Robbie was the technician who came out and he was quick and professional. They did exactly what I wanted (this was a Father's Day gift) and I thought the cost was very reasonable given the time, effort, and frustration it would have cost me to try to do it myself. I would definitely use them again.

Robby came on time and was very clear about what he was going to do. He installed a new digital TV antennae using my existing exterior antennae pole. He used the existing coaxial cable plus had to add a power source for it to work optimally. I now have tons of channels so I am very happy. I would definitely use them in the future.

Both times I hired Attic Rat, the rep assessed the job, gave me a price, did the work and honored the price that was given. They were knowledgeable and pleasant. If I have a need for this type of work again, Attic Ratt will be the first place I call.
Description of Work: Attic Rat upgraded the cable connection from my family room to my master bedroom from standard cable to hi def. Several years ago they ran the initial cable for this connection. (My cable provider, Bright House, would only run the connection to an outside wall. . I hired Attic Rat to run the connection to an inside wall.)

The technicians sent out, Robby and CJ, were very professional and did a great job on the install. I made several suggestions and they were happy to oblige my requests. They ran out of time on their initial scheduled date but returned on Saturday and worked for an additional four hours to get the job done. Up front cost is not cheap but at the benefit that we continue to rid ourselves of a $50 TV cable bill. My two TVs now receive about 57 over-the-air HD channels perfectly (both VHF and UHF come in great). This includes: NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, MyTV, Ion, multiple PBS stations. We cut the (cable) cord a couple of years ago but always dealt with sketchy reception with our in-door RCA antenna. So happy now everything comes in perfectly!
Description of Work: Added an HD OTA roof antenna with an amplifier for two HDTVs. They did all the cable runs and made sure to hide them on the exterior as best as possible (way better than the cable companies Verizon and Dish have done in the past). They did all the proper hookups including a lightning shunt to ground which is mandatory for a roof antenna. As far as I know these are one of the only local guys in Pinellas that even do this work and their price is excellent for services rendered and the antenna/amplifier equipment I received.

Dear Member, First and foremost - many thanks for your review. This is an increasing trend we are seeing here at Attic Rat. Dropping cable down to modem-only service and using an OTA, often with streaming services such as "Netflix". I will be making this move myself as soon as time allows. Most of us working humans get only so many minutes per day to watch TV. Why pay so much for something we get so little use from? Unless you are a huge sports fan, there is so much programming now available via OTA and streaming - it just makes sense. Thanks again, Trey (head rat)

This is a very professional group that knows what they are doing. They gave me a couple of options and let me decide which was better for us in the room and what their opinion was as well. I was fully informed of what was happening and how much the service was going to cost before they started the job. We have been very satisfied with the work and will be contacting them again when we are ready to do any further TV wall mounting jobs. This is a great company with great service, you wont be sorry!

Dear Member, Many thanks for the opportunity and your complimentary review. I realized long ago that quality is job #1. I find that it is more cost effective to do good work than it is to advertise. When I tell advertising sales people this, they laugh and I have to make them understand just how serious I am - no really, it's cheaper to do really good work. As I no longer advertise, I am compelled to rely upon word of mouth from customers such as you and that is a strong incentive to do the right thing. Thanks again and I wish you and yourn a Blessed New Year. Trey (head rat)

This was a very bad experience. On my first appointment, the technician did not finish the work promised. He apologized and said that the appointment was not scheduled correctly. He told me that he needed at least 3 hours to do the work and had to leave for another appointment. We made an appointment for the next week at noon. At 12:30 of the scheduled day, I called to ask where the technician was. The phone operator located the technician and called me back saying he could not be at my house until 2PM (2 hours late). I complained that I was not receiving good service. The reply I got was: "I am sorry, we will never step foot on your doorstep again!" Then the person hung up on me. I was very insulted. I tried to call the company back, and they would not pick up the phone to discuss the issue.

Response from Attic Rat Inc
I wish the member had offered a more accurate account of the situation. If he had, we would be happy to continue working for him. Under the current situation, that is not possible. When the member called, he wanted to have a data cable installed and also to get a quote on some AV work. My tech went out and spent three hours installing a data cable only to find that there was already a cable in place, hidden from view. Rather than charge him for the new cabling, my tech opted to charge him nothing. The tech quoted the AV work, as promised and the member accepted the quote, but now wanted it done on the spot. The tech did not have time to do the added work and so we rescheduled the job. No mistake was made in scheduling the job - only a change in the member's mind. On the day of the rescheduled work, the tech was running behind and failed to call the member in a timely manner, advising him of the delay - an error on the tech's part for which I as owner apologized. The tech, having a work ethic of few peers was still willing to get the work done - even if he had to work late (see the dozens of A reviews on "Bob"). I called the member back to advise him of the delay and he immediately began berating me. While my tech had made an error in failing to call ahead to advise the member of the delay, this hardly warranted berating me. Cross words rarely produce happy results. The member did get one part right - I did in fact apologize again and assure him that I would correct the issue by never darkening his doorstep again. I think the most egregious "omission" in the members review is that he was not invoiced for the three hours of work performed. The member did not pay Attic Rat ANYTHING AT ALL! Herein he lists the cost of the work as $300 and yet he paid nothing for three hours of very professional service. How can I be expected to work for someone who places a very misleading review of my company on Angie's List in order to get his way? I bend over backwards for Angie's List customers, as by and large, they are some of the best people I have ever worked for, but this is my business. I built it up from nothing with my own hands over 20 years and my reviews speak for themselves (more than 100 A reviews). This is the first "F" rating I have ever received in 20 years. While I hate to see a nearly perfect record destroyed by this member's inaccurate review, I will not bow for monetary gain. I treat all of my customers more than fairly, but here I draw the line. I have already apologized, not once, but twice. Services were rendered and no pay of any kind received. Under the current situation, this member has gotten all he will get from Attic Rat, Inc.

Attic Rat came out to set up some of the wiring for our television, audio and gaming system in our new home. The previous owners had left behind some of the set-up so we just needed Attic Rat to come out and set everything up for us. When scheduling the appointment we had to wait a little while before they could come out as they were booked for a little while. But, once they came out they were great. Bob was our contractor that came out and explained everything very clearly, made sure the system was set up to work best for us, and answered any questions we had. He was very knowledgeable and professional and I highly recommend their service. We have been enjoying our surround sound setup.

Dear Member, Many thanks for your review. I do apologize for the wait and greatly appreciate your patience. The reason we are so booked is the same reason we have 110+ A reviews on Angie’s List. I am very particular about who I will allow into my customer’s homes. A/V work requires a large skillset and to makes matters worse, I demand integrity – that leaves a very small pool from which to collect techs. I have finally found and vetted a new tech and he should be coming on line this week. It's a long process, but men like Bob are very hard to find. Again, many thanks. Trey (head rat)

Sean arrived on time and was very professional in explaining what he had to do. He wired everything together very neatly and calibrated the TV picture and sound. He also set us up with a universal remote that does everything with the touch of a button. He was very patient in explaining how it worked. We were very pleased with the entire process. Very professional and affordable. We would certainly use them again for any technical need and recommend them highly.

We recently relocated from Chicago to North Redington Beach, Florida. One of our final tasks was to adapt our new home?s technology to our own personal taste and preferences. Our new home?s existing technology was a bit dated and the local cable company had recently ravaged it, during their install. The ?cable guy? left the wiring in our technology closet a tangled and unlabeled with some of the equipment only partially functional. Fortunately, the base wiring in the walls and all of the associated speakers were in good shape but everything needed a bit of tender loving care and a lot problem-solving knowledge and skills. Thanks to Angie?s List we knew who to call: Attic Rat, Inc. The ?lead rat?, Sean, and his associate, Jim, supplied an abundance of knowledge and skills and just the right amount of TLC ! They reinstalled a new generation of amplifiers, systematically traced and labeled all our home?s existing wiring setup, and they also installed the VHS equipment we moved with us from Chicago so that we could continue to enjoy our large library of old VHS tapes. Sean and Jim also did a cleanup of our poolside technology including a television and an old set of speakers. We are now ready to entertain family and friends with lots of music and lots of movies. Both Sean and Jim took great pride in their work and they did everything that was promised at the quoted prices. The best part of the 3-day process was Sean?s ease-of-use programming of our new wireless universal remote controls closely followed by his extensive training regiment. He wanted to insure we could easily use all of the new equipment we just had installed. We would highly recommend the experts at ?Attic Rat, Inc.? for configuring and installing new technology. In a word, they were FANTASTIC in all respects.

Sean arrived as scheduled and went right to work. He was able to diagnose the problem and give me options. He sold me a new receiver, hooked up everything as it should be. I have a rather significant hearing loss so surround sound had long ago been worthless to me. I can now enjoy the surround sound (if I turn it up loud). I am very pleased with this outcome and the service. They will be the ones I call for this type of service.
Description of Work: My stereo/home theatre system quit working properly after a "brown-out". I wanted someone to "troubleshoot" it for me after the cable company came and tested their service and determined the problem was not in their system. They responded quickly to my email and we scheduled an appointment.

[member name removed], While I am told that we do not in fact live in the "lightning Capital of the world", we cannot be too far off that mark, as this is sadly all too common. Between simple power fluctuations and outright surges, it can be very costly. I made it more than 30 years without any such damage myself and then took two hard strikes inside of two weeks. I had no sooner replaced half of the gear in my small office when it hit me again. It can be very frustrating. That was nearly 20 years ago now and I certainly hope it doesn't happen again. Contrary to common perception, lightning is most likely to strike in the same place over and over. It finds a path it "likes" and can happen repeatedly. We always suggest good surge suppressors as a way to at least mitigate some of the damage. I always say that if the Lord wants your gear - He will have it, but a good suppressor can stop certain types of surges from affecting delicate A/V gear. So glad we could be of assistance and very much appreciate the chance to work for you. I sure hope you've seen the last of that "exquisite little inconvenience" in your lifetime. Sincerely, Trey (head rat)

I am updating our review from not so great to excellent for a few reasons. While we always liked Attic Rats, we had felt the tutorial and follow up was not superior. We found we were not the best communicators on scheduling and expectations. We (I) take responsibility for the poor rating in the past and would like to apologize to Attic Rat (and staff) in our role in the outcome. They have since come out to our home and very politely and professionally assisted us in our new remote and troubleshooting items needed. Thank you and we truly are satisfied customers and would recommend Attic Rat to anyone looking for a provider who is ready for the challenge of any media/audio/visual needs whatsoever.

Dear Member, I am so glad that we could work this out to your satisfaction. I always prefer to make every customer fully satisfied and don’t mind going the “extra mile” to do so. We are all so busy these days and it’s not always easy to make time for everything. Please accept my personal thanks for allowing us to come back and get you properly trained in the operation of your systems. I learned long ago that it matters little how “sexy” the gear looks sitting there – if the client can’t operate it consistently and with confidence the system will become an annoyance rather than the blessing it could be. Thanks again,

Sean and Jim did an OUTSTANDING job in rewiring my Cable, Ethernet, and phone in my home. They were prompt, extremely professional, and took great care of my walls and structure of this very extensive upgrade. Everything was completed without a single issue and was kept within the budget we agreed upon. The team was very professional in my home. All the jacks were installed straight and the wiring cabinet was installed beautifully. Everything worked on the first try and Sean and Jim answered a number of my questions along the way. I would highly recommend using their company for all cabling needs.

It was a pleasure to work for you sir. You knew what you wanted and made it simple for my team to make it so. So few embrace the advantages for proper "structured wiring" in residential applications. We've been doing it for businesses for 20 years, but only in the last ten have people begun to see the myriad advantages in applying the same concept to a home. From changes in providers to moving an internet connected device around the house, it is so much easier when all of the cabling terminates in the same location. Many thanks, Trey (head rat)

On December 5, Sean showed up and spent almost 2 hours with us listening to our requests, reviewing our current situation and then making suggestions for the installation. On the following Monday, we had a detailed, itemized quote for the work to be performed. After reviewing the quote and making some small adjustments we scheduled the service to be performed on December 23. This was not a small job (mounting of 4 flat screen TV's, installing a receiver and surround sound system and providing a full hands-on tutorial on the system's operation) and most companies would never have attempted to complete a job of this size in one day, let alone two days before Christmas. Sean arrived, with his assistant Jim, just after 9:00AM on the 23rd. They finished the installation, and Jim left for the day around 6:00PM. Sean remained and finished some clean-up and then provided us with a detailed, hands-on tutorial of how to use the system as well as the functions of our new 'infrared' universal remote control. Sean did not leave our home until 8:30PM after he was sure we understood our new system. An eleven and a half hour day! The job performed by this organization, from initial quote to final tutorial, could not have gone any smoother. We would highly recommend Attic Rat Inc. for any individual considering updating their home theatre systems. We would and will use them for any future electronic needs!

The install went great and the wall and system is prefect. I am a perfectionist and this guy, Bob, was THE BEST. You would be lucky to get these guy's to handle your AV project. Trey, the owner, was also very helpful in explaining all aspects of the install. Considering the amount of labor involved, I consider the price very reasonable.
Description of Work: Reinforced interior metal-studded wall. Utilizing the adjacent closet, cut hole in dry-wall and installed wood 2x4 backing within the wall. Completed installation of 4 wall-mounted components including a 65"plasma HDTV, Soundbar, Shelving & A/V cabinet. After the wall studs were added the wall was dry-walled, spackled, and painted. It looks like nothing was done. This amount of weight on the metal studs was not advisable and therefore this project became much larger than I had expect. It is complete after 2 days of hard work on the part of Bob the installer. He was professional, knowledgeable and very through.

[remove members name] Thank you for your review. This was a tough one, but at Attic Rat, we don't shy away from this type of work. I agree with you completely about Bob – he is the best. I wish I could find a couple more just like him, but man with his work ethic seem hard to come by these days. Bob showed me pictures of your job - it looks great. I hope you enjoy it for years to come. Merry Christmas Sir, Trey Dawson ( Head Rat)

When my house was first built another company installed my sound system and did a good job but had no interest in doing any additional work. I contacted Attic Rat and they have been my service provider for the last ten years. Trey and Sean are responsive, fair in their pricing and do quality work. I am very pleased with their quality and business ethics.

Response from Attic Rat Inc
Dear Member, Sadly yours is an all too common situation. So many in the A/V business take only full installations and fail to follow up when service or additional instruction is required. I will never understand that attitude, as it makes for a short-lived business model. We take all jobs - large and small and as a result, have a customer base in the tens of thousands. During hard time (such as 2007-2009) most such companies go under because they have failed to take care of the customers. Attic Rat survives and thrives because of its customers - people like you. Many thanks, Trey (head rat)
