Rob and his team are great! This is the second TV they have mounted for us and we have been pleased both times with their work. The mounting hardware is included in the price listed below.

Wanted to wire up our living room for surround sound and mount a plasma TV above the fireplace. Rob provided excellent recommendations for additional speakers, a great TV mount, and was even able to run an ethernet connection from our office to the living room. We had some scheduling delays on our part and Rob was accommodating to the unforeseen circumstances. Great service and would hire again.

They were fabulous. They were great. He was receptive and willing to come in. He followed-up with phone calls. It is a small private company. He was very diligent and a good guy. He was great. He had really good follow-up and there was one night that things were not working well. We called him and he even responded. So, he is a very good person and a good business. I started looking for all of this in November and he was the first available. We moved into the house in December and he was able to come within a week or two of us moving into the house. The owner’s name is Rob Lipofsky. He was reasonably priced. He was better than anybody else that we kind of like investigated online. I got two TVs plus all the work and configuration. I would recommend him completely over anybody else.
Description of Work: I worked with Seattle Sight and Sound. He installed two flat screen TVs. He configured and helped me pick out the TVs and equipment. He took existing stereo equipment that came with the house and got it working and going. He configured my satellite TV which I never used before and hooked it up to my computer and the system. He added some boosters for better wireless signals so they worked.

When changing out my old 47" TV and mounting my new 55" Rob found that my previous installer had not attached the mount securely to the wall and it would have failed. Previous installer had not properly pulled the cables and used too short a cable. Rob corrected all problems in an efficient manner. This guy is great. He knows his business. He is very professional. He charges by the hour and he works very efficiently. You can not go wrong with Rob.

Amazing! Came out to look at the space, provided some suggestions, and sent a quote. There was a small scheduling snafu that almost got everything off track but Rob more than made it right. And we can't be happier with how things turned out. I had no idea our (older) receiver and speakers could sound this good. This is a stand up company and I would recommend them to anyone.

Rob and his team was very professional, knowledgeable, and flexible. I wanted a nice, but not crazy over-the-top entertainment system. We met multiple times on site while our home was being constructed to customize everything. He took what I was looking for and worked with me to get things inside my price range. At the same time, he made sure that everything was high quality. The installation went smoothly overall. He made sure that everything was in working order - in fact, he came back a week later to make sure everything was working properly after I made the switch from cable to satellite TV. And even when I still had issues or questions afterwards, he was very responsive via email in troubleshooting my problems. Price was very reasonable and competitive.What I was most impressed about was his flexibility in payment options/terms, which would not have been possible at a larger chain store. Overall, I would highly recommend Rob if you are interested in installing a good quality entertainment A/V

Rob and his team did an excellent job. They were professional, knowledgeable and courteous. I couldn't have asked for a better job. I'm very particular about install jobs and Rob treated it as if it was his own. If you are thinking of doing any install work, call Rob!

I called Rob wanting to upgrade our existing home theater setup. The person we used to do the initial installation had since retired. Rob was friendly on the phone and showed up on time. He was reasonably friendly during the encounter, and we had a productive discussion. He later emailed me back a quote for proposed work. The original installation had cost me $600, and Rob wanted ~$2200 for his initial proposal, although the scope of work was somewhat different (not apples-to-apples). His proposal included two elements which I didn't particularly care for: a large up-sell for a 'control system' with a $125 remote programming fee for a total of $455, and $50 a pop for 10ft HDMI cables. I emailed him back and suggested that his prices on the cables were extreme, as I have seen cables on amazon for much cheaper (~$10). I also counter-proposed that I purchase all the parts (minus some miscellaneous parts he had listed at $35 total), and that we scrap the control system as well as a piece of furniture he had proposed we add (which I had asked for a quote for, but which was optional). This got me into a range I was comfortable with. I didn't include any histrionics or insults, just observations that I thought his prices were extremely, unexpectedly high. In his reply, he stated that his HDMI cables were in-wall and fire rated, as opposed to "$5 Amazon cables". Then he stated that he was insulted by me "essentially telling [him] that [he] was trying to rip [me] off." He then told me he didn't want to do any work for me at all. I researched in-wall rated cables and found a 50ft CL3 rated cable (which is in-wall and fire rated and 40 feet longer than the ones he listed) for $27. Roughly half the price for 5x more cable. Everyone has their own business model, and I get that. But Rob's prices, up-sell technique, and response to criticism struck me as unprofessional. I have to recommend against using Rob, as I would find it difficult to trust him based on my experience.
Description of Work: Rob came to our house, discussed the work we wanted, and provided us a quote for his services. After I dug into his pricing estimates and made a counter-proposal, he became offended and refused to do any work for me.

Response from Seattle Sight and Sound
I apologize that we couldn't come to a reasonable solution for your A/V needs. The products I use and services I perform are aimed to be for customers who demand reliability and quality in all aspects of work. In my line of work it is important to be thorough to ensure my customers are happy. I simply can't afford to take on responsibility of somebody else's work (which was very sloppy and not done to proper building codes) without fixing lingering issues. So there was extra time added to your estimate for cleaning up the previous installers or homeowners wiring. I feel we got off on the wrong foot based on our differences in opinion of proper products to use. In order for me to guarantee the overall quality of my work I use products that are not necessarily the cheapest but are proven to work and are compliant with building codes.
