"Thank you for your business, and you kind words. It was a great job to do. We love working with Bose Surroundsound and Samsung tvs. They are both great. I hope you enjoy your new surroundsound system. It really has great full range sound. Thanks again."

Doug was awesome! From scheduling the estimate to job wrap-up, we were very impressed with his commitment and follow through. Most important to me was his communication. We had a very detailed and challenging project in which there were many avenues that could have been chosen. Doug methodically coached us through the process so that we would have the most user friendly system utilizing both new and existing equipment and wiring, leaving us with a very user friendly system. He could easily steered us into buying a lot of new equipment, but he worked in our best interests and kept the job cost very reasonable. We now have three zones of high end sound for music and two surround systems for home theater, all controlled simply from our smart phones and Harmony remote. We encountered some challenges at first that were clearly learning issues. Not expecting response to my message on a Sunday, but Doug called right away and spent (too much) time and made sure that we were crystal clear with his direction. A further note; the talent that Doug had on his team was incredibly knowledgable and efficient! A great, non intrusive and highly professional crew that i wholeheartedly recommend to anyone. In fact, we have already pointed him to friends who need system work done at their home. Very pleased to have had such a great lead that we would otherwise not have known without HomeAdvisor.

Home Theater Accessory Installation
We wanted him to connect our new sound bar & wireless subwoofer to our fairly new TV in the bedroom. It had been setup very nicely prior by the Geek Squad. It was connected to Direct TV, DVR and a wireless headset. Most of it could be controlled by the Direct TV remote. He took very little time, though we had to pay for 2 hour minimum which was $150 (an we were warned about). He couldn't get the wireless headphones to work as before and we have to turn on the TV and sound separately. I was not impressed with his knowledge. Even though we were warned that we had to pay for the 2 hour minimum, he only spent about 15-20 minutes and never offered to come back and retry. I would have thought since it was so close to Christmas (day before Christmas Eve), he would have at least offered to charge us half the $150 since he was unable to accomplish what we wanted. I am unable to use my wireless headphones at this point. Would not use this person again.

"We were hired to come set up a soundbar. We did so , and the soundbar works perfectly. The tv was unable to output both analog and optical, so it was not possible - at least with the hardware they owned - to hook up both. I spoke to them prior to coming, and the scope of work was to get the soundbar working. I installed an optical cable and went into the tv settings and changed it from "tv speakers" to "audio out". When you use the optical audio out - at least on that tv, the headphone jack shuts down. In addition to the original task I also programmed the direc tv remote to control the soundbar. Install could not have gone any better. Travel alone exceeded 2 hrs, and told them this is why it was a 2 hr minimum. This was done in short notice, at night, and was exactly what they asked for. The headphone request came after it was all set up, and could not be done - as stated above. I suggested an optical splitter. They would also need a better set of headphones that take optical as an input. I can not warranty client hardware, and the headphones did not even appear to power on. Seems that the $ was the objection. I do jobs like that as a customer service. $150 is not a lot to get a knowlegeable person to your home. They were calling direc tv to get help with the remote, since they had no paperwork on how to program codes into it. By the time they got someone from direc tv on the line I had the remote all set up. Can not imagine a more perfect install."

I recently built a vacation home and was able to install 55" and 60" TVs on the walls over fireplaces using articulating mounts. When I wanted a sound bar for each I ran into a problem on how to attach them to the TVs. I called Doug and could not be happier. He and his team custom installed the sound bars and they look great! On 1 of the TVs it had to be installed on the top of the TV but Doug and his team did an excellent job mounting it and managing all the wires. I only wish I knew to call Doug while the home was under construction because he would could have assisted me and my electrician on what wires to run in the walls for various components. Doug was very professional, knowledgeable, and returned all my calls. He showed up on time even though I had to reschedule the appointments a couple of times. I definitely recommend Doug and his team and would use them again. Especially since I now know he will travel to multiple states for a project.

They arrived when they said they would, the team was professional & courteous and installed the system as promised. We especially appreciated being asked for our input when aesthetic choices needed to be made. We had a problem later that evening but it appears the reason was a defective cable box supplied by Metrocast. Nevertheless, we appreciated being able to reach out and speak with the president late in the evening. We would recommend Cinemaesque without reservation, owing to their exemplary service.

Home Theater System or Media Center Installation
This person was friendly and chatty, and would perhaps be best for a small installation of a 1-2 speaker sound system in an open floor plan home. My farmhouse has many small rooms requiring 6 speakers that proved too great a challenge. This company seems to be a one-person operation out of a car, which might be OK, but he was not able to provide any test speaker to see if a larger speaker was required in one particular room. I had to pay for everything in advance, even unused equipment, some of which he recommended, but did not work. He charges a restocking fee. He left telling me to go and buy cables to try to get better range. I think a larger company would have come with extra cables to test for the best range for my system, which cost well over $2,000. It was many weeks, and several communications, before I received a refund for overpayment. He said he refunded me earlier, but the credit card company had no record of the refund. That was a hassle. The router he recommended did not have anywhere near the range he had claimed. I never learned his last name, and neither it, nor a company address, is on his business card, which seems odd. I would have expected a follow up from the installer to learn how the system was working. There was none. The installer seemed unfamiliar with the equipment as he had to read aloud the installation instructions for each of the same speakers. I would not hire this person again, but others have been pleased.
Response from Cinemaesque
"Firstly, I do not own a car. I came in a Dodge Caravan. Second, his system works perfectly - now that I have done some advanced networking.100% working, awesome system in every respect. Third, he knew my full name: (and my cards are double sided, full color) He had my name in numerous emails, and in my profile from Home advisor. He was also provided with Facebook links. So to suggest my name is not front and center is beyond the pail, much like every comment made. I take issue with each an every comment. The client asked me to come up and "experiment" with his house. He, like many consumers felt that I should buy all the goods, and bring them up, and see what worked. I was not agreeable to buying his requested hardware out of pocket. It simply does not work that way. I did offer, and he agreed, to sell him all the items for the "experiment", that he and I knew might not work. He wanted sonos in every corner of his home, and even outside. I suggested a LUXUL gigabit router. I have networked many homes and businesses covering spaces comparable to his. Sonos also makes a boost, and we ordered that also. The one device he say "did not work". The boost made no difference when we hooked it up. I told him that, and boxed it back up. To blame the installer for that is absurd. I saved him money. A less ethicial company might plug it in, and tell the customer that it helps boost the signal. This customer, without a doubt, would have a device plugged in and drawing power, that does nothing. The Luxul 1750 router blew the boost out of the water, as I had expected. The client now had strong wi-fi all over his house. I even streamed video outside on his deck. All of his Sonos devices - every single one - works perfectly. Located at the far extremes of his home, and even outside. He had a "power line" adapter I place, but not in an ideal location. I relocated it to a point in the home that was dead center of the areas he wanted to serve data and music. For anyone that knows about a power line adapter, they send data through the power in the home. You can not put it on a surge protector, and it is designed to plug directly into s socket. I did just that - in a central location. It could not go anywhere else, as there was not an "electric" plug. I did tell him that I do like to put the routers up higher. He would need to get a plug put in, or have a grounded extension cord run to a higher location in that room. It really is a MOOT POINT as the Luxul works perfectly at the present location. I like to TRY to educate and inform clients. I should not have said anything... OFFER TO CLIENT: I am so confident that this client has a great set up, only possible with a good networking installer, I will offer him $100 more vs what he paid for the Luxul. If he thinks there is anything out there in the market that will give him the same performance, he can take the purchase price, and $100 more - and go buy it. He will not take me up o"

This guy Doug is the best ! He clearly goes over all your needs and meets all expectations, he can make anything work and is a true professional. I wasted my time trying another guy "Ed" in the area at Gizmoteck in Dover, Greenland, Me or where ever this gypsy claimed to be and he was the VERY WORST my spirits were low after that joker lefty my house until I met Doug and he made everything work with ease. I would strongly recommend and he has very fair pricing that is definately worth it. TM

My project was had several components including a hard-wired home network as well as a custom 7.2 Home Theater installation. In addition, I requested many detailed finishing items such that I could troubleshoot on my own if necessary. It has been about 6 months since the project completed. I have had no issues. Doug and the Cinemaesque team did an outstanding job of addressing all details of the installation, often making multiple trips at my request to dial-in the installation. Bear in mind that full payment had been made, yet Doug made sure the installation met my expectations with follow-up visits. I would recommend Cinemaesque again.

We were in need of quick service for our security system and Doug from Cinemasque came on very short notice on a weekend night and saved the day. First class service and a very reasonable price. We will use him again and highly recommend him to anyone.

need gps to know where he's going
Response from Cinemaesque
"Rob, the installer on this job ran into traffic, and also did not know his way around. We will work on a gps to avoid being late. Glad that Linda was happy with the work he did - a bit behind schedule. Thank you!"
