Home Theater & AV Installation

It depends far more on the room than on the gear. A TV mount with in-wall wiring and a soundbar is a small job. A dedicated theater room with a projector, motorized screen, Atmos speaker layout, seating risers, and an equipment rack is a much larger project. The largest single cost driver is whether the walls are open — pre-wiring during construction costs a fraction of fishing walls in a finished home. We quote on site after seeing the room.

Usually, but it is worth a conversation first. Mounting above a fireplace puts the screen higher than ideal viewing height and exposes it to heat rising off the firebox. Where it makes sense we use a pull-down or articulating mount that brings the screen to eye level for viewing, and we check the heat at the mount location before committing.

No. Most of what we install is in living rooms and bonus rooms. A dedicated light-controlled room gives the best picture from a projector, but a well-designed media wall with a large TV, in-wall speakers, and a properly placed subwoofer performs very well in an open room and fits how most families actually watch.

Yes. Fishing wire through finished walls is standard work for us — it takes longer than pre-wire and sometimes needs small access holes that get patched, but it is almost always possible. Concrete block exterior walls, which are common in Florida, are the exception and may need a surface raceway painted to match.

Usually. If you have a receiver, speakers, or a TV worth keeping, we build around them and tell you honestly which pieces are worth replacing and which are not. We would rather do a smaller job well than sell you gear you did not need.
