I have spent 30+ years in a combined Professional and Home Audio arena. This led me down the path of acquiring a profession into the Healthcare IT/Bio-Medical Engineering environment. While working in these spaces I have maintained a large network of customers supporting their home audio/visual and home networking needs. In addition, I have also supported many small businesses with their networking and IT requirements. My business takes great pride in my experience, expertise, quality, and customer service that I provide to meet the consumer's needs. It is my mission to provide excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction from start to completion of a project. In order to understand the needs and expectations of my customers, I take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. My reputation is based on service, safety, and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"James, the founder and owner of BG Tech was outstanding ! Prompt, professional and extremely capable due to his many years of experience. My project was requiring someone who knew the ins and outs of several previous platforms in my home, He methodically went through checking speakers, volume controls and then set up the best configurations for both our TV and audio for multiple locations. we had a real mish -mash of half conceived and misunderstood setups that resulted from a history of using cable. direct tv and AT & T. We were very satisfied with the "clean-up"and proper configuration of all of our system!"

FMP Builders was to help clients throughout Chicagoland achieve the home of their dreams. With our reputation and many years of experience, we know our team is able to help improve your space to meet all of your expectations. If you’re looking for a way to fall in love with your property once again, call FMP Builders

"Warning: Avoid FMP Builders Inc (Mikhail Fomin) of Schaumburg, IL at All Costs Hiring FMP Builders Inc, run by Mikhail Fomin, was the worst decision we ever made for our home. This contractor is an unprofessional, dishonest, and utterly incompetent individual who left our bathroom remodel in ruins, cost us thousands, and displayed deeply unsettling behavior. We contracted FMP Builders for a bathroom renovation, entrusting Mikhail with the project. From the start, he was a nightmare. He took over $3,000 upfront, only to vanish after two brief visits. The first visit was solely to collect our money, and the second was marked by inappropriate, creepy comments directed at my wife, making her feel unsafe in our own home. His conduct was unprofessional and downright disturbing. The work he did manage to start was catastrophic. He demolished parts of the bathroom, leaving it in a state of disarray with exposed fixtures, damaged walls, and debris everywhere. The little work done was shoddy and dangerous, requiring extensive repairs. It cost us nearly $5,000 to fix the disaster, including $2,000 just to undo the damage he caused. This doesn’t even account for the emotional toll of dealing with his endless lies and excuses. Mikhail’s excuses were as absurd as they were insulting. He claimed multiple times to have contracted COVID, and, unbelievably, stated that his grandmother had died-more than once! These transparent fabrications were clearly meant to dodge accountability and prolong his scam. He showed zero commitment to completing the job and no remorse for the chaos he left behind. FMP Builders Inc and Mikhail Fomin are a menace to homeowners. He is a liar, a creep, and a fraud who takes money, destroys property, and disappears. Save yourself the financial loss, stress, and potential safety risks, avoid this contractor at all costs! If you’re considering hiring him, run the other way and hire a reputable professional instead."

"Contacted them to by phone on 7/16/21 at about 9:30 am was told the estimators were busy but was asked to send an email of photo's I had of the problem as well as my contact info and estimator would be in touch. I sent email and received a reply from Billing Mgr at 10:02 am. That is the last I heard from them. Ended up getting work done by another company that actually replied back to me (that same day). With all of the other glowing reviews of this company on Angles list, I'm surprised."

FAQs for home theater system or media center installation projects in Lake Bluff, IL

For those on a budget, a home theater system can be installed for as little as $5,000. This simple setup, which doesn’t require professional installation, includes essential components that provide reliable visual and audio performance. It's a budget-friendly way to enjoy movies, TV shows, and live events from the comfort of your home.

Plan to spend at least $70,000 for a high-end home theater. At this price point, you’re paying for advanced components, including flagship projectors, reference-grade speakers, dedicated subwoofers, robust A/V receivers, and professional installation. These features deliver outstanding picture quality, rich surround sound, and a polished finish. Costs climb quickly when you add custom seating, acoustic treatments, and smart-home integration, so ask your installer for a detailed estimate before committing.

The ideal screen size for optimal home theater viewing ranges between 100 and 120 inches. A well-proportioned home theater room measures 24 feet by 15 feet, with a minimum ceiling height of nine feet. However, smaller spaces, such as 15 feet by 20 feet or 10 feet by 12 feet, can also work well. These dimensions enhance acoustics and visual performance, creating an immersive entertainment environment.

A well-built home theater room should last as long as the house, but the electronics inside need periodic attention. Plan to review your equipment every four to five years to see whether new formats, connection standards, or performance upgrades justify a change. Upgrading outdated projectors, receivers, or streaming devices keeps the system running efficiently and prevents compatibility issues, all while protecting the investment you’ve already made in the space.
