Jay is a professional who promptly responds once service was purchased on Angie's list . He stayed on top of coordinating the installation date given that I had some delays with painting the wall prior to installation. He was on time for the service call and worked quickly to install a 40 inch tv. He was very professional in clean up after the job was complete. I would recommend his service as he has prior experience with installation. I would use service again

Initially I bought a Big Deal at Angie's list for $225 on Friday. Jay contacted me very promptly, asking me a few questions. After finding out all the details, Jay asked me to cancel this Big Deal, and said he can get the job done at a lower price given my situation. Jay is an honest person. Furthermore, he was also very accommodating in terms of the schedule. Since I cannot be home during week days but still wanted to get my TV mounted sooner rather than later, Jay offered to come to my house to install the TV on Sunday. He came to my place on schedule, and finished the job quickly. The whole process from initial contact to project completion only lasted three days. I highly recommend Jay's service.

He was excellent. Jay comes in and goes right to work. He is very clean and did not leave a mess and works very fast. I had my television knocked it on the wall. It was a huge television and very heavy. I have not had any problems when he put it up, they went all the necessary tools. He was great, came in, did what he had to do, left a clean place, and still on a wall.

My wife and I are very satisfied with the job that Jay did. This review wouldn't be complete if I didn't mention that he also brought an electrician to assist and they both went above and beyond to finish the job and finish it well. Before they came, Jay asked a number of questions to give me an accurate quote, but unfortunately I gave incorrect answers which added time and complexity to the job. Regardless, they kept to their original quote and definitely didn't skimp on the quality.

For what it is worth, he didn't give incorrect answers; there was drywall where he said there would be drywall and there was plaster where he said there would be plaster. The complexities stem from other unforeseen circumstances, but nothing that stopped us from doing the job.

They are outstatnding, and the price was A+! I paid $155 to install 5 theater speakers, and he did a great job. He was very nice and personable. The first time he came out he was unable to install because the dog legs were busted, but he was able to find a way to fix them. He got the parts and came back and completed the work wonderfully.

I just wanted to touch base on one thing, so other potential clients reading this review don't get confused. This client has the room pre-wired 10 years ago, and the holes were cut in the ceiling already for the speakers. I mounted the speakers into the holes and connected the wires to the speakers. At the time I installed them, the client wanted it done solely for aesthetic purposes; he was not going to be utilizing the speakers. I literally just installed the speakers into the ceiling, nothing more. I say this only because I've had some potential clients come to me to get a quote for an installation, and feel the quote is high based on what they read in the reviews...I just wanted to paint a clear pictures as to what work was rendered. Thank you!

Did a good job both times. Very pleased with the final product in the basement as wires were well concealed behind walls and face plates made a professional look. Was very efficient in getting the work done. Would recommend again. Only negative was my own issue.....I should have price compared my projects to reviews on Angie's List reviews as it seemed I paid more for my fireplace mounting without hidden wires (mine were covered by a paintable plastic tube rather than behind wall) than some other reviewers whose wires were hidden behind the wall. Regardless, job well done on both accounts. I would recommend him to family and friends.

I can completely understand [member name removed's]point of view; his installation wasn't like the other fireplaces. The other fireplaces were pre-wired with HDMI and Power, so all I did was mount the TV to the fireplace, and connect the speakers and program the remote. Mr. Castro's fireplace required wire-molds for neat wire dressing, a longer HDMI cable and a longer power cord, none of which were required for the others, that is the reason his was more expensive.

Jay was great! He was very professional and arrived right on time. He mounted a 55' tv and center channel over the fireplace and ran the wiring behind the wall. He also hooked up the receiver, sub woofer amp and set up our Logitech harmony universal remote. Jay also came prepared with all hdmi cables, speaker wires and mounting unit for the tv. His pricing was very reasonable and he is very friendly and knowledgable. I will use his services again and would definitely recommend him to others. Thank you again!

I contacted the provider and spoke to him on the phone. The initial conversation was pleasant. I inquired about the "big deal" which indicated that having a tv over a fireplace would be additional costs. So i called to find out what those would be. He answered the phone and I advised him of where i lived, that i had a 60" TV that i needed hung over a gas fireplace. He asked me to send him a picture via text of the fireplace / wall and of the model of the TV. I did that within 5 minutes of hanging up. He didn't respond. I followed up 6 days later. No response from him. I then followed up 6 days after that. Still no response!!! How offensive. If you don't want the job he should at least have the courtesy to respond (even by text) that he was not interested in the work. And why participate in the "big deal" on Angies list if he's not going to follow through. What a terrible way to do (or not do) business!!
Description of Work: Nothing. Thats the problem. I know Angies list gives more weight to providers who have performed a service but thats not an accurate evaluation. Like in this case where the provider failed to respond to me on 3 separate occasions over a period of 2+ weeks!!! If he doesn't want business then he should be allowed on Angies List.

With respect to the client, I recall speaking to her on the phone weeks ago. I did ask for pictures, but I never received them. I even texted and followed up with a voicemail when I didn't. I never received a response to either of those forms of communication. I didn't have an email address to contact her with. I believe she contacted me through the Angie's List call center. I've noticed that the call center patches the client through to a number that is not mine, and then the client texts that phone number and never gets a response because it is not mine. She is not the first person to text me and say she never got a response, but the other people returned my phone calls and voicemails, unless she did not receive mine. I'm going to talk to Angie's List about this as I am not turning down any work and I am happy to work with anyone and everyone who makes contact with me.

Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal from The Home Theater Installer.
Rating CategoryRating out of 5
$225

Response from Berger Audio Video Solutions
I apologize for [Member name removed] unhappiness with my quote. The big deal is for mounting a TV up to 60" on a regular wall, includes a tilting mount and an HDMI cable, with the components going directly below, and states fireplaces will bring additional labor costs. [Member name removed] has a brick fireplace in the middle of a room with no electrical or cable near the fireplace where he requested the TV be mounted. I quoted him higher because I would have to move cable over to where he requested the TV be, have my electrician bring electrical over to this area, and purchase special anchoring for the TV because it is being mounted to brick. I sincerely wish him the best in getting this job done.

Highly recommend this provider. Jay was great from start to finish with solid pre-job communication and pricing, showed up on schedule and worked hard all the way thru installation and cleanup. He preformed exactly what we asked him to do and spent extra time working with me to make sure both tv's we're hung exactly to my satisfaction. He vacuumed up after the job and left the home exactly as when he arrived. Jay was very professional and a great value. I look forward to working with him again in the future.

Jay set up our new Samsung TV in the Family Room which had to be mounted over the fireplace and on an extendable mount. He did a wonderful job and hooked it up to both of our TV services, and made sure we knew how to access either the cable or DirecTV inputs. He also checked out our loft set-up, advised us what we needed to provide the sound system we wanted, installed it and also set-up the DVD player. He was quick, professional and clearly knew what he was doing! I would use him again.

We couldn't be happier with the experience and results from our home theater install with Jay. We researched our project extensively and received estimates from at least half a dozen contractors. Jay was well reviewed and very competitive on price. He showed up early, stayed late, and made sure the job was done 100% to our satisfaction. Our install was fairly complicated and Jay worked through each of the issues effortlessly. With Jay we found that diamond in the rough of the home theater install world...a rare combination of integrity, professionalism, honesty, and talent at an exceptional value.

Overall everything went really well. The best part was Jay's professionalism and his responsiveness to my email inquiries: he advised what type of titling mount would be needed - based on the configuration of my living room and the model numbers of my TV and speaker I provided - and prepared installation accordingly. Also Jay accommodated me in his very busy Saturday schedule and did a nice job installing the TV and soundbar speaker. He even helped lower my cost by using HDMI cables I had owned already. Just one suggestion for improvement: it would've been perfect if he had installed cable plates to cover holes, and found a way to hide a transformer power cord for the speaker. I managed to do both myself after the installation. To be fair, Jay explained there's no need for cable plates as the holes would be covered behind the TV, speaker and media console, which makes sense in a way. But one of the holes exposed until media console arrived, and it looked ugly. I just had to install a cable plate. The plates cost only $3 at Amazon and it makes a difference in terms of look. All in all, I'd highly recommend The Home Theater Installer!

He is 100% right. I ran out of stock just prior to his install. You wouldn't normally see the holes, but he didn't have the media console on site. Nonetheless, I normally provide them and they do look great when you can see behind the stand. If you can't, you won't ever know the difference.

Jay is very knowledgeable and so easy to work with. He did a beautiful job hanging our new TV over a fireplace and connecting it with all our new "toys". He works very efficiently and thoroughly. Pricing was absolutely fair too (he had to come to our house three times due to wooden built in that was in the way, wrong mount etc- none of it his fault). I highly recommend him!

Description of Work: Jay hung tv on wall and pulled wires thru wall for 3 components. Great job! No issues. Jay was knowledgable and professional. Asked lots of questions beforehand and came prepared for job. Job was done quickly (thus the B grade on price, but also not sure how much mounting fixture and other materials used cost). He also followed up and helped resolve minor issue weeks later!

Jay is good; systematic/thorough/detail oriented. Pricing is reasonable.
Description of Work: he mounted a 56 inch TV above a fireplace. He was very thorough and knew what he was doing. He also mounted my surround sound speakers (the wiring was already done). He routed the wires to a receiver (which had the speaker wires +Blu Ray +Cable). He did not do any wiring but only the connections. But he knows this space well.

It went exceptionally well. My significant other had attempted to hang a 51" TV over the fireplace but was having difficulty finding the studs and getting the mount level. So the wall already had a couple of holes in it when Jay arrived. He was able to shift the mount, make sure it was secure on the studs and covered the existing holes.

I contacted Jay to get an estimate on wall mounting two TV's. He was very thorough and only required that I send him photos of the areas where we planned on mounting the TV's to provide an estimate. He was flexible and able to work within my budget. In the end we decided to delay our decision to mount the TV's due to some other priorities but I will hire Jay when I decide to do the job.
