"It went remarkably well ! Patrick, the owner, got back to me almost immediately after I requested an an estimate for repairing a 30-year-old chimney-mounted antenna, through "Angi". Patrick was helpful as we reviewed the project over the phone, and he was even able to quote me a price for the job (which sounded quite reasonable). Even more remarkable, and maybe not always the case, he was able to schedule the service for the following day! Edward, the service technician, arrived at my home within the two-hour window as scheduled and did a beautiful job installing a new antenna (the existing 30-year-old antenna having reached the end of its functional life, and the new one costing less than Best Buy's top-end antennas). He also installed the co-ax cable, connecting the antenna to my family room, so discreetly down the side of the chimney and the side of the house that it is virtually invisible. Edward also described a few options for some of the work, as well as some information which would increase my enjoyment of the new antenna. The old antenna provided me with about 20 channels, but not ABC or WHYY. The new antenna now receives about 75 channels, including those two especially desirable channels. Without reservation, I highly recommend VIP Telecommunications as a skilled and reasonably priced company to do business with! Bill E., Chester Springs, PA"

"Terrible (but good!). The terrible part was making multiple phone calls over a two month period but never getting a call back to get an estimate and scheduling an appointment. Finally, called and got the owner, David. He was very negative and admitted that to me when he called back to apologize. Of course there not everything has a 100% guarantee in life, but all I want was a similar antenna installed like the first one 10 years ago pointing in the same directions to cover sets in my kitchen/DR. The original one has worked well (95% of the time) picking up not only line-of-site PBS stations in Washington (Weta and WHUT), but also the outstanding MPT channels from Annapolis. The "Good" outcome was that I tried an extra indoor antenna that I had in storage and hung up on a pendant lamp hanging 10-12 feet' in my kitchen, and then pointing it in the same direction as the one on the chimney using a compass on a CP app and fine tuning with MPT. The Annapolis station comes in clearly, plus dozens of the usual broadcast channels. Problem solved in less than 2 hrs with a little ingenuity and using my outdoor extension ladder indoors, some white cable, white duct tape and white cable hangers. It is sad the the nation's capital does not have any competition in this business."

"I had an 17 yr old antenna on my roof(chimney)which was recieving 20 digital channels. My signal strength was at best 58%. Jason White gave me an estimate for replacing and mounting a new antenna, which was very reasonable. Jason scheduled me for a new antenna installation and showed up when he said he would. Two hours later I had a new antenna, 30 digital channels, and a 98% signal strength. Great job !"

"Dave and another employee arrived within the specified time window.  They analyzed the problem (worn out motor) accurately, and said that a return trip would be covered under the Angie's list deal. They quoted a fair price for the replacement part, but I felt it was too expensive considering the age of the washer, and opted to buy a new one. Dave offered advice on the purchase of a new washer, and was generally very pleasant, competent and helpful.  I also felt that they respected the terms of the Angie's List deal by including a return trip, and not adding any extra fees or charges.

"They did an exceptional job I was very pleased with the high quality work that was done. I would definitely hire them again as they did very good quality work on the installation. The antenna had to be mounted in a very high and difficult place and they were able to do it with relative ease. They also did the installation in very little time. I would definitely hire them again for any similar type projects."

"Good job working in awkward space with little room to work around radon removal system outlet pipe.
The downside: Area clean up was slightly below average and drywall material was left in splotches on wall (perhaps hard to see because of similar color) and also left few small splotches on floor (not hard to see).
Frankly most contractors do a poor job of protecting your belongings and cleaning up and I should have bird-dogged them more.
Also area of drywall tape near baseboards under window was not covered sufficiently and I had to get them to improve coverage before they left.
The job they did around the pipe was a B but overall, have to give them a C or C+ for quality because of visible tape and splatter issues.
But both men were very nice and polite as was the owner or manager with whom I made the appointment.

FAQs for antenna installation and replacement projects in Upper Marlboro, MD

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.
