"John Skender is an antenna specialist and very knowledgeable. After installing the antenna, he scanned the channels for me. And he stayed until we confirmed that the antenna was working and was accessing my favorite channels. Great service!"

"The two poles that comprised the mast on my exterior television antenna separated and the antenna fell against the back of my house in late 2019. Raffi from Minas came out the day after they were contacted in January 2020 and we discussed solutions. As it was January and he was going to need to place a ladder on the slanted kitchen roof to reach the 24-foot peak of the main house where the antenna was mounted, we had to wait a bit for a thaw. When then weather improved and the snow melted, on February 3rd, he came by with his assistant to hold and steady the ladder while he climbed up detached the antenna from the separated mast, attached the antenna to a new mast and secured it in place. After he oriented the antenna toward downtown, he waited on the roof, in the cold, while I rescanned my televisions. The price was reasonable, the work done extremely competently and Raffi was a pleasure to work with."

"Great, family-run business. Very accommodating and reasonably priced. They went out of their way to be professional and courteous both as repairmen and installing a new TV. They were really kind to haul away the old TV as well. The two brothers are really nice guys. We even got to meet the mom at the shop, who was great. One of the brothers ended up being really helpful in picking out a new TV, letting us have space and time to decide and explaining everything really well. At the time I was unfamiliar with antenna TV, so he explained that and had several options to choose from. Have had the antennae and TV for 1 1/2 years and they both work great.
A really nice family! A great feeling to support a good, family-owned business. Recommend them for service calls (so reasonable) and for new purchases as well. I think they even have dvd rentals and one of the sons is a real movie buff. Great people.

By trade I am a field service tech for electronic alarm systems (burglar, fire and CCTV) for over 8 years. Familiar and capable of many other trades. I handle almost all issues, repairs and upgrades for my own home. Any and all work I perform I treat it like my own home. I have too much pride in my work to do sloppy work.

FAQs for antenna installation and replacement projects in Northbrook, IL

Mounting your TV antenna on the roof or in the attic at the highest possible point provides the best reception. Ensure a clear, unobstructed view toward the broadcast towers. The best view is free from trees, buildings, or walls that could interfere with the signal and potentially damage the antenna.

Your TV antenna should be mounted as high as possible with a clear, unobstructed view toward the broadcast signal source. Elevating the antenna improves the chance of receiving clearer and uninterrupted reception. Obstacles like trees, buildings, and hills can interfere with the signal, so avoid mounting it on the ground or below the roofline. Installing it on the roof or in the attic ensures a direct line to the transmission towers, enhancing both signal strength and picture quality.

To strengthen your antenna signal, start by ensuring your antenna is in an optimal location with a clear view toward the broadcast towers. If you're still experiencing weak signals, consider adding an amplifier for an additional $50 to $200.

Check for nearby obstructions or metallic objects that might interfere with reception, such as appliances or metal fences, and keep the antenna at least 6 feet away from them. Additionally, ensure your coaxial cable isn't excessively long, which can reduce signal strength.

Even though a few rare cases are exceptions to the rule, grounding won't improve your TV antenna reception. Like other issues, it's best to speak with a TV antenna specialist to learn which options will deliver the strongest reception. While grounding may not work, your pro will offer other ideas to improve reception.

An outdoor HDTV antenna costs $20 to over $200, with some units running upward of $500. Indoor units run as little as $20 but with poorer quality reception. Like most things, you get what you pay for. However, you may not need a top-of-the-line antenna. Discuss your needs with a local TV antenna installer.

A TV antenna won't always provide perfect reception due to factors like your distance from broadcasting towers, nearby obstructions, and weather conditions. To minimize issues, research your area's signal strength and choose the right type of antenna for your location. Tools like the DTV maps from the Federal Communications Commission can help you check local digital TV channel reception. Selecting an appropriate antenna and proper positioning and installation will improve your chances of receiving consistently clear signals.
