We set an appointment, they were on time, they listened to our problem worked to adjust the system to solve the problem. They were very professional and very helpful. I plan on using them again for an upgrade to my system!"

"This was one of the best service experiences I have ever had. I had an event the Saturday of the week I called for service, giving the company only 3 days to provide service. Originally they couldn’t fit me in because of a full schedule which was understandable. I advised that I would look elsewhere because of my urgency. However, because the company’s motto is to never lose a customer they rearranged schedule and was able to accommodate me. The two very professional company representatives were on time, pleasant, quick and very PROFESSIONAL!!! It took them less that an hour to do the work. I was so impressed. The job was done in such a professional manner. Everything they moved out of the way to do the jobs was put back in place and they cleaned up after themselves. I cannot give enough accolades to this company and it’s professionals to include Christina who works in the office. I highly and eagerly recommend this company to everyone who need any tv and media work done."

"TL;DR version: CH Telco was very professional. They were able to route difficult cables from my basement to the second floor without need to cut any feeder holes. Their work was immaculate. Long Version: I wanted to wire my entire home with CAT 6 ethernet connected to a patch panel in my basement, and clean up some really shoddy cable wiring done by either a DIY'er or a cruddy cable company tech. I originally envisioned having 10-12 ethernet drops and 2 cable drops; however, after speaking with Charlie it sounded like this work would take two days and cost more than my wife and I had budgeted for. I was able to reduce the size of the job by doing some installation work myself--putting up the server rack and patch panel in my basement utility room--and limiting the scope of work to running drops from the basement to the second floor (so just 5 drops). I also bought my own Cat 6E on Amazon, and ran a few easy to set drops myself in the basement. Charlie and his team were very helpful and understanding, and offered some minor pointers to make sure any pre-work I did lined up with what they needed. They also used the Cat6 cable I purchased for their own runs (I do not recommend this for a novice, I did a lot of research on ethernet cable types. The reason they did this was because I had a lot of cable leftover. CH Telco is a time and materials company, so the savings by using my cable was just the material cost). Charlie's team was able to find the best route for my wiring--next to a return air vent--and did not have to cut any holes other than where the wires terminated as a result. They also cleaned up a mess of cat 6 and coaxial cables in my basement by neatly fastening and tucking them to a board I had mounted to my utility room wall. When they left everything was neat, tidy, and labeled. I would definitely hire CH tel co again if I needed to wire my home for ethernet or add coaxial cable runs."

"We used Fairfax Antenna to install a HD Antenna on our roof so that we could cut our cable and leverage internet services for TV along with the antenna to get local channels. I am writing this review after a month of the antenna being installed to monitor the performance. To date, everything is absolutely wonderful and my channels come in with full signal strength. We had invested in about 3 indoor 50 mile antennas, but they were never consistent no matter where we placed them in the house. The gentlemen were professional, made great recommendations, and we're quick and tidy about their work. I live in the Washington DC area, and we get channels as far as Baltimore in HD. I used the two runs, just in case we needed to split, but we use a product called HDHOMERUN Connect to route the signal through our network. Any TV we have used for accessing local TV, the channels come in sharp and crisp with zero issues. I highly recommend Fairfax Antenna."

"I spoke to LaShaun on a Friday before Labor Day weekend and begged for his assistance to set up a tv in a new house.  I sent him a few pictures of the where the tv needed be hung and where I needed wires fished.  He told me he was booked all day Saturday but would fit me in for Saturday late afternoon between 3pm and 4pm.  He arrived shortly after 5pm, inspected what needed to be done for about half-and-hour and decided to do the work.  He did an amazing job of "fishing" the wires through the wall from one room to another with as minimal damage as possible.  LaShaun was very professional and spent over 5 hours on the entire job and refused to compromise perfection for time (although he didn't leave until after 11:30pm).   Although I was ready to go to bed and get him out of my house; he refused to leave until the job was done and made sure everything was clean and working as expected. I would highly recommend this company and specifically LaShaun and will use again the future."

"The tv's were mounted to perfection with no wires showing and he also provided the wall mounts at an additional cost. One of my electrical sockets did not work and instead of shifting my tv to another area Derrick was able to fix the issue. The service was so great I called the next day to have more work completed. GREAT SERVICE !!!"

"The technician mounted the TV and connected all of the peripherals. He verified that the existing mounting hardware would support the new TV before installing it. Finally, he ensured that everything was working correctly. He also moved my old TV and equipment to the basement. I definitely will use Real Computer Solutions in the future."

FAQs for home theater system or media center installation projects in Washington, DC

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.
