"They were great! They helped organize my wires and ran everything behind the wall to give clean look. They even helped me hang my surround sound speakers for no extra charge. Would highly recommend them! This was a few years ago, but I had such a positive experience that I just logged in to Home Advisor for the first time in years to get their contact info.

"Freddie is a dream come true and can always be counted on to bring your vision to life. I've trusted Santa Monica Car Sound with every car I've owned over the last several years. It's a great feeling to know that you can depend on them for just about everything under the sun that's auto-related. For the Tesla, we did 30% tint all around with a 15% tint on the windshield. Break calipers were painted red to match Performance model, and emblems coated with black. A front fender was added to give the car a more sporty appeal. With the van, we tinted all windows and added a back up camera. I swing by whenever I have minor issues such as a door jam or loose AC panel. Freddie is the man, hands down! Thank you for everything."

707-267-7778 remote computer training and troubleshooting over Zoom. I specialize in Apple devices, drawing on my 12+ years working for Apple. I can help with tips and tricks, and buying recommendations and solutions that are out of the box. Clients often come to me after they have exhausted other options. They are surprised that I am able to solve most of their problems rather quickly. If I don't know the answer off the top of my head I am not afraid to do the research necessary to find the best solution that is currently available. I tailor learning based on my students’ needs and provide a premium experience. I offer discounted packages when you buy lessons in bulk. I believe that anyone can learn Apple technology (Mac. iPhone, iPad, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iMovie, Photos, Mail, and more) with the right teacher! I want to understand why you bought your device and focus on the needs you want to cover. Through the Zoom platform I am able to lead and guide you through the process of understanding your device. (If you don't already know how to use Zoom I will teach you what you need to know.) The screen sharing capabilities in Zoom may even allow me draw all over your screen depending upon what equipment you already have. (If you have not experienced this yet... it's an awesome experience!) I make it my business to ensure that you feel more comfortable with your device and are not afraid of it. Many people are afraid of breaking their devices if they click the wrong button. I will give you the confidence in understanding what you need to know to make using your technology more pleasant. I prefer to work with you remotely but for an extra fee, I can come to your home and work with you in person if you live locally. My prices reflect the high demand I am currently experiencing, along with my vast experience with Apple. I take amazing care of my students and look forward to helping them through their technological journey! AWARDS: Thumbtack Top Pro 2020

"Techie to the Rescue is great. I was having a problem with syncing a new iPhone 13 to my laptop and couldn't figure out what to do. After making an appointment (which was very easy), we spoke the next day over Zoom and he walked me through the entire process. He explained the problem in understandable terms and was very easy to communicate with. If I have any future tech issues, I'm calling the Techie."

Angel Construction is a trustworthy and hardworking company started by Luis Angel and his father Juan who have been working in this field for many years. Striving to deliver excellent services with the best pricing available, Angel Construction is your solution to home foundation needs and other repairs.

"Hired Luis for a complete foundation replacement for a home on a hill in Angelino Heights. Luis was very easy to work with from coordinating plans/permits, keeping to schedule, and scope changes along the way (LA City was a PITA). Luis was easy to talk to and his pricing was the best out of 5+ bids we got. Work involved replacing the entire footing/foundation, leveling interior floors, adding a few posts and support beams under the raised foundation, and replacing front patio cement area. Luis was always looking out for our bottom line and very efficient. Normally the type of foundation replacement we did requires multiple inspector visits but Luis knew the process well and only required one inspection after work was done, saving us a lot of money. Change orders were always handled professionally and very fair to both sides. Everything turned out great (I'm writing this review a year later). I highly recommend Angel Construction and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again."

FAQs for home theater surround sound system installation projects in Pasadena, CA

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.
