"I had a problem with my old landline phone system. First I called Verizon, but their technician could not solve the problem. Then I contacted CH Tel. Charlie called back promptly and sent a technician, Rick, the same day. Rick was very knowledgeable and thorough. He was able to find the problem and install a new line. While he was here he also solved some long-standing problems I had with loose wires and an open phone box. He was also very respectful of my property and did a good job cleaning up after the work. I would highly recommend this company for low-voltage wiring projects."

"Firebelly Renovations began work in our home in January of 2018 for substantial restructuring of our master bath, kitchen, and creation of a mudroom/pantry that took space from the garage and extended the kitchen. The contract stipulated that it would take 60 calendar days. Our expectations were for the project to be completed in April, at the latest, given change orders and construction delays. Firebelly did not complete their work until November, 2018 -- TEN MONTHS LATER!! We ended up hiring a third- party contractor to complete remaining punch list items, as we had difficulty getting Firebelly to return. While we have a kitchen and bathroom that is substantially complete and we are now enjoying, getting to this point was a huge life disruption that took nearly a year. As the months dragged on, we observed questionable commitment to the work product, unreliable business practices, and poor project management. Examples follow: QUESTIONABLE COMMITMENT TO QUALITY WORK -The new flexible vent pipe they installed through the roof for our new dryer was so flawed in design and installation that it collapsed creating a water trap for the humid air (see photo). -Firebelly installed closet doors that block the full use of our new Elfa closet system. Drawers will not fully open (see photo). -In several areas, new walls are not straight, corners deviate from 90 degrees requiring modification to shelving that will be installed in the space, and drywall compound/tape and paint were applied in a sloppy manner (see photos). -Caulking in the kitchen and bathroom has already cracked (less than six months), the toilet has leaked, the shower has leaked, the vessel sinks in the bathroom are not securely fastened in place, the bathroom live-edge vanities have started to sag and need to be re-supported to their installed level (see photo). UNRELIABLE BUSINESS PRACTICES -Firebelly failed to pay a subcontractor plumber, resulting in a lien being placed on our home. We have requested paperwork to settle the matter with the plumber, but Firebelly has not provided it. -Change orders were started and sometimes completed prior to receiving our written approval, a contract stipulation. -They often cut short their 8am to 4pm work day. There were instances of Firebelly excusing themselves from our project for an entire week, giving reasons that did not sound credible. They lied to us about a family vacation in July (that delayed our project another week). We later found out that this was really an excuse for the owner to work on other projects. POOR PROJECT MANAGEMENT -Firebelly made numerous miscalculations on the quantity of product needed. For example, bathroom floor tiling required three separate trips to the store, each time to order more based upon their calculations. Yet, when we returned in August from an overseas trip, we were informed that the tile design was not completed as planned as they did not have enough tile!! -Based on their calculations, we over purchased special-order tile and could not return it, costing us over $200. Another tile store had to make an exception to their return policy because we had exceeded their six-month limit for returns - otherwise, this would have cost us several hundred dollars. -Items, such as kitchen appliances, cabinets, tile, etc., were ordered so they would be available when needed and sat in our living room and garage for months until Firebelly made enough progress to install them. -Subcontractors were hired only as the project proceeded, introducing delays and resulting in variations in cost. Many more frustrations and observations could be listed. This was an ordeal that overtook our lives for the better part of year. We began to wonder if Firebelly had ever done a job of this size before as they did not appear to have the staff or the systems in place to address the challenges of this job. We would not recommend Firebelly for any substantial home renovation."

FAQs for home theater surround sound system installation projects in Arlington, VA

Installing ceiling speakers is challenging and often the most difficult type of installation for surround sound systems. It involves electrical work and cutting into the ceiling, all done from a ladder, which can slow progress and increase labor costs. You can save money by choosing surface-mounted speakers on brackets instead of in-ceiling designs.

Surround sound systems are worthwhile if you value immersive experiences for movies and gaming. For casual music listening or TV watching, the benefits may not justify the costs. Consider testing a system at a retail store to determine if it's right for you. Starting with a standard 5.1 system allows you to upgrade over time.

Soundbars are an efficient audio solution that delivers clear sound. They can simulate the surround sound experience when you pair them with satellite speakers. However, dedicated 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound systems offer superior fidelity and immersive performance that is essential for fully engaging movie, TV, and gaming experiences.

The cost to install a home theater system represents a comprehensive entertainment experience that transforms your living space. Building a home theater system costs an average of $17,500, including essential components such as a large TV or projector, a surround sound system, premium seating, and a media center. The overall expense adjusts based on room dimensions and the quality of each appliance, ensuring that every installation meets specific spatial and performance requirements. This structured cost approach provides a clear framework for achieving a high-performance home theater.
