I was very pleased with my tv mount installation. Only took an hour and it looks great. They were able to perform the service within two days after I made an inquiry. I will use them for any other home audio/video projects that I need to have done.

These installers will do a great job with the actually installation. In my case, I wanted to install my antenna's in the attic. After the installation, vhs (particularly PBS) signal did not come in. I followed up to see if an adjustment could be made to try to get pbs. The correspondence got into a couple of minor issues that we disagreed about, but the main point was that i couldn't get pbs. They offered to come install the antenna outside, which i turned down. I called PBS and gave them the antenna model installed. They told me that the problem was likely that the model was designed for UHF. I googled Antenna's Direct and talked to their tech support. They confirmed that the antenna I had was likely the issue with VHF but would be very good for UHF. They suggest that I add a VHF only antenna and a UHF/VHF combiner. They looked up my address and told me exactly where to place the VHF antenna. It took me an hour or so to set up the VHF antenna, run the cable and hook up the combiner. They also directed me to Amazon where I could buy the antenna and combiner I needed. IT WORKED GREAT! All the UHF & VHF channels I need and more. Bottom line is that this company is great on installation. The installer did a very good job and they adjusted my bill for a travel time question. However, they didn't know about the UHF/VHF issue that Antenna's Direct knew about immediately. I would recommend talking to tech support at Antenna's Direct before any installation to ensure the antennas are correct and follow up with Antenna's Direct before deciding on any adjustments or moving the antennas from your preferred location.

Cutting the cable. Price reflects less than a few months of paying for Dish. Picture quality better than Dish. Installer very concerned with my best interests.

I actually hired Swinderman Engineering Services to take my Flat Panel TV OFF the wall and put it on a tv stand. I am preparing my home for sale and need to remove wallpaper from 1 wall. They did an excellent job and they really know what they are doing! Thank you, Home Advisor! Thank you, Swinderman Engineering Services!

The team that arrived was highly knowledgable and skilled for the job that had to be done. I appreciated that safety first was a priority, on a poteniality risky job. While they were on the job, they took the time to help on a couple of other related job upgrades that I did not expect. The Swinderman team went the extra effort for me, and I would and will recommed them to anyone. Great job, thanks for your service.
