The process was much smoother than I planned. It took Tom and his assistant less than a morning to run the speaker wires and install the speakers. He then returned a week or so later (I had not yet purchased the television) to hang the television, connect everything, and explain how everything worked. Everything was in perfect working order when Tom left. I was especially thankful that Tom was willing to work with my budget. I was very clear early in the process that I was not an audiophile and was not interested in paying premium $$$ for the most high end equipment. The $1,400 I paid included all labor, all speakers, wiring/cabling, and mounts. I could not be happier with the work done and would highly recommend Tom to anyone needing similar services.
Description of Work: Tom installed flush mounted speakers (wall and ceiling) in a finished basement, routed cable where I wanted to put in a media center, hung a 52" television, hooked everything up, and provided very helpful advice in the purchase of additional hardware.

I thought the price was very reasonable and lower than the competition. He was here with in 15 minutes of my calling him! He was polite and professional. He was done quickly and I am pleased with my working VCR's!
Description of Work: He put a new cable on one of my VCR's to get it working, and he was able to get sound to the other one. $24 of the total cost was for the cost of the cable.

He explained everything, disregarding the packing material. They were very helpful as was his assistant Adam. He showed up on time and does his work on time.
Description of Work: Put together a new cabinet, installed all the components, arranged wires and cleaned everything. He even put the dish back up and aimed it. He set up two other new TV's also.

They came when they said they would. He brought a helper with him. They were very business-like. They went right to work. I am so glad I found them. He didn't leave any trash. He answered all my questions, showed me how to work everything, and was very polite. I had difficulty getting a video tape to play after the fact, and I called him and he walked me through the problem over the phone. He was polite and extremely helpful then as well. I was very satisfied. I would recommend them to anyone and I can't find anything wrong with what they did.
Description of Work: They hooked up my DVD/VCR player to my TV. They showed me how to use my satellite receiver. They hooked up a karaoke game. They hooked up a CD player as well.

The installers made their way around the problems with our ceiling by going up through another room & across the attic. They found a way to install the speakers where we wanted them to go & without complaint. They put drop cloths down & replaced furniture to original positions. They also spent quite a bit of time making sure the speakers & stereo system were properly set up for the best surround sound for the room. They also made sure the homeowners understood how to operate the system.
Description of Work: Installed in-ceiling speakers for a surround sound system. The ceiling was a cathedral ceiling which was very difficult for the installers to work around. Support structures were obstructing the pathway for the wiring to go up through the walls.
