It went great! Tony was so nice! He asked questions about my furniture and overall set-up of the room to ensure good placement of the TV, which I was very impressed by. Everything went so smoothly and it turned out great! Will definitely use him again!

Response from Evolution Installs
We are sorry you feel this way! Secondly, Happy Holidays! Based on our records, your purchased your voucher on 5/16/2015, we scheduled your job for 6/5/2015. You canceled your appointment with us 10 minutes before our tech arrived on Friday June 5th, 2015. Our tech had already driven over 35 miles near your residence. We were courteous enough not to forfeit your voucher for canceling within a 48 hour window as most (if not all) angle's list vouchers 'print' clearly state. We continued to be courteous reaching out via the angie's list platform to schedule and even went further reaching out to you via your direct email address, as you requested after you canceled. On most occasions you were never responsive. To your defense, yes you reached out after your last minute cancellation. But, on all occasions, hoping we could fit you in next day or that same week. We are professionals here at Evolution Installs with a A+ track record to prove it. We are men of family here at Evolution Installs and similar to any other professional business, we schedule jobs with lead time. On some (or many occasions for that matter) small jobs can be fit in, but it will all depend on the availability on our calendar. Based on your rating of a C, I am first to stay we are far from it... We strive for quality workmanship of only an A+ grade, period.. Just ask our past Angie's list clients! I am sure Angie will agree.

Things were quick and easy. I ordered the $99 deal. My tenant thought an hdmi cable was needed to run from the satellite box to the tv to get a high def picture. I don't know alot about electronics, so I decided to use a pro. He quickly went through menus on the tv and cable box that I never knew existed. He explained what he was doing so we knew what was going on. Luckly no hdmi cable was needed to get a decent picture. The wires run through the wall, so drywall cuts would have been needed to make that happen. I'm very relieved to know no painting or drywall work is necessary. Tony was very professional, respectful (took his shoes off) and personable. If I ever run into electronics issues in the future, he'll be the go to guy.
Description of Work: We had issues and could only get a standard def picture through the satellite box and Tony was able to fix this.

Evolution was awesome. Prompt, friendly and did excellent work. The best part was the level of advice they gave to help us understand the options, tradeoffs and made a great recommendation. The work was well done and accurately explained. I won't hesitate to use them again.

It so not okay, he helped me put my X-box and I still don’t have it, I still didn’t get it all the way. I tried to call him back for couple of questions, he told me to call him back, but he never did returned my phone calls so I guess I’ll try not to do something else about this. The price was good, considering how much you had to save for everything. My X-box is not working the way he said it would work, we’re having a few problems trying to get it on, when you turn it on, it pops right on, it’s a delay, the sound and the picture was also delayed. I’d give him a B because he wasn’t a bad person, and he didn’t give bad help, but it in an hour and a half, you’re paying for what you get, I paid for 99 minutes and I got 99 minutes, and with the 99 minutes he gave me, were good 99 minutes, but I needed a little more time, but that’s just me, if I’m giving somebody a service, I want to make sure that they get what I’m trying to give them so that I can get reviews or I will recommend them to somebody else. I can’t recommend somebody that don’t have patience for people that they’re trying to help, well this is all I’m saying. All in all he was a good person, he did help, he had us to write things down and we did, but it was just that we didn’t quite get it, when you’re dealing with older people, they’re not computer savvy, we’re 101 dummies, I wish I had a little bit more patience. Overall he did a good job, I had no complain about that, I can say the blame was mostly on us, but I think I would have had a little bit more patience, some people don’t have much patience for older people now, so this is just something they need to practice.

From the purchase through the installation, excellent. I had questions about the terms of the installation and whether one or more exceptions could be made to the purchased services as described in the offer. Tony responded promptly. Once he came to the condo unit he was engaging, professional, knowledgeable and very easy to work with. We talked a lot about the way the unit needed to be hung and Tony provided options. Very reassuring. Once installed, Tony tied up the wires, provided us a gratis extension cord and said his goodbyes.

Happiness is having Tony properly connect additional audio visual devices to theater -sound system. On several occasions prior, I had attempted to add these devices, all to no avail. I needed to connect a receiver, LeapTV, cable box, FireStick to an HDMI switch because my TV had limited HDMI ports. Then, once everything was connected properly, I wanted them to be controlled by one remote, the Harmony One. I had given it to my son as a gift, he tried to set it up, all to no avail. Eventually, he gave up and returned it to me. Since I was using 3 different remotes, I thought to ask Tony to program it for me. It is very involved for a layman, that's why it languished on my desk for a long time. He programmed it successfully. To make sure I could use the remote, he had me to go through all of the functions. As we went along, he would ask if I had an questions, which I thought was great. Before leaving, he made sure all of my concerns had been addressed. In addition, Tony contacted me quickly to set up an appointment. He arrived on time. I would definitely use Music Evolution again should the need arise.

Tony and his associate did a fantastic job. They told us about everything they were going to do, the pros and cons of each potential scenario and the costs associated with them. They went above and beyond in troubleshooting some cable issues. I would certainly hire Tony again should we need any future audio/visual needs.
Description of Work: Mounted TV, Fed cables through back of wall so they didn't show, updated the cable lines so the cable upstairs was receiving the cable feed and not the antenna feed and created two new outlets so the wires wouldn't show.

They installed the included mounting hardware and hung the TV. They connected a new receiver, PlayStation, and WII. I had front , rear, and a center channel speakers. We talked through the options of setting them up, and I opted for to have only two front speakers and a center channel speaker. My basement is small and there was duct work that was causing issues. They ensured that all equipment was connected and that the remotes worked properly. They even drew out the instructions for me to ensure I could operate! I did not have them connect an external antenna or cable box, but they offered to come back if I change my mine Their work was professional and they cleaned up after the job was done. Bonus: I had moved this TV to the basement because I ordered a new TV for my family room. It arrived about 30 minutes before they did. Even though it was not part of the scheduled work, they unpacked it and set it up for me!! This was above and beyond what they needed to do. I made sure this added service did not delay them to their next scheduled appointment. I would definitely use them again!

This was the second time I had this provider in for a service. The first time I had a different TV mounted and I also had the entire home hard wired for internet, cable, satellite and had a home theater system installed. The service was amazing. Every step was explained and I knew exactly what to expect. Zero "gotcha" moments. I would highly recommend this service.

I am writing this review the same day because I am THRILLED with the work that Tony did. Great communication. He installed a new outlet, wall mount and wiring above the fireplace. He gave me options for where cord placement and outlets could go. He drilled holes in the back of our bookcase and helped determine where we wanted to place our cable, internet, phone, etc. He was professional, had a point of view, was fast, efficient and clean. He was very detail oriented. We paid for the $299 special but understood it was going to be more to have it mounted above the fireplace. Great communication. Would ABSOLUTELY use again and would refer others there as well. THANK YOU!

I cannot say enough about the meticulous care Tony took when rewiring my sound system. The difference in the sound that comes out of my speakers and TV is now at full capacity for the system. He went beyond what was expected. He even taught me (a know it all) how to listen more intently to music/sounds rolling out of my surround sound system. Tony proved to me that he is a perfectionists, an experienced professional and a five star business owner.

Purchased the Angie's list deal to hang our flat screen tv, including providing the wall mount. After purchasing the deal, we were able to schedule a date that same week. The tech, Tony Delgado, showed up at his scheduled time. He was able to perform the job quickly and professionally. He made several suggestions on how to complete the job, and made certain we were comfortable with the choices. It looks fantastic, since he was able to hide all of our wires behind the tv. Lastly, he took the time to clean up after the job. Music Evolution saved me time and did it correctly. This deal was a good purchase.

I cannot say enough about Tony Delgado and Music Evolution. From the very first contact, Tony was patient, kind and very professional when answering all of my questions. On the day of the install, there was a scheduling mix up which he attended to immediately. He didn't try to gloss over it or make excuses for the mix up...he just fixed it. This was so refreshing. I have recently been dealing with many laborers and, unfortunately, that kind of integrity is hard to come by. Tony and Matt did all that they said they were going to do in the time discussed. I hardly knew they were here. Once everything was installed, Tony, again was very patient in teaching me all that I needed to know about the operation of new equipment. I will definitely use their company again and recommend them highly!
