"We recently moved into our new home and we had problems with the sound coming out of the speakers. All About Sound & Video came to our home. 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!"

"We would not hesitate to recommend this company based on our positive experience from the start of this project to its end. The owner, Ralph, is highly responsive (promptly answering texts and emails and providing a copious amount of relevant information) and exceedingly informed about the equipment he suggests. We trusted him immediately upon our first meeting, relying on his expertise to provide us with the system that would best meet our needs. I was grateful to feel comfortable allowing him to choose the appropriate components for us as it saved me hours of research time. He emailed a very detailed, reasonable and impressive proposal, without any pressure to upgrade beyond what would work in our space. Due to a delay in the receipt of some components, our scheduled installation date had to be moved. Ralph was extremely accommodating, fitting us into his already busy schedule so that our lives would not be unduly interrupted. He and Kevin (a very nice compliment to the team) spent most of one day installing the new system, insuring that all was functioning. Ralph remained at our home into early evening to review the operation of our new remote which operated all of our components. He was unfailingly patient and checked to make sure that we were completely comfortable with the system. In this day and age, it is not always guaranteed that one will have a positive experience with a business. Ralph creates that positive experience with his winning personality and obvious regard for his customers and their satisfaction."

"The CH-Tel rep came out right on time as scheduled, and quickly understood nature of the job and right away made helpful observations and got right to work. He located a couple other lines running to the house frame from the street that could also be clipped and removed. Very efficient, informative as he worked, and thorough. This is the second time we've hired CH-Tel and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking to resolve phone, internet, TV wiring issues in their home, or for new install jobs."

"Very well -- installed antenna and hooked up all three TV's. No hassles, fast, friendly, effective, and relatively attractive system. It was money well-spent. It meant I didn't have to walk around on the roof trying to guess where was the best place to position the antenna and then point it in the best direction."

"I called Vultron to supply and install a security camera system for our house. Lashaun was very informative over the phone, and we set up the appointment for the installation. Lashaun arrived on time, and got right to work. We also had a substantial landscaping project underway, but Lashaun and his associate Thomas worked around the other workers that were at our house, breaking out the hard hats when tree branches came down near them. After the installation was complete, Lashaun walked my wife an I through the operation of the system until we were familiar with the process. A definite bonus. I am very impressed with the professional look of the camera system and the work done on the installation. There are no visible wires, and the fields of view capture all the entrances to our house. I would recommend Vultron Inc. to friends and family, and intend to call them again for any needs that we have in their areas of expertise."

"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."

"

Raymond came and asked what my issues were with the computer, listened to all my complaints. I explained about needing one virus software for work (encryption) and one for my computer's needs. He began by checking all the usual sites of issues, ran a virus scan product or two and determined that my issues were not viral related (yeah) but mostly overloaded with add-ons from several companies/sites.

Those got cleared out/removed, he made my home page much more user friendly for me, and explained tons of questions that I had about 'why this, why that, how this, etc.'  He made sure that at start-up, the computer wasn't bogged down, and by then there was already a big improvement. He changed my search engine from one that had been installed when I bought it but didn't know enough to change it.  I now know how to use either of the browser options.

He found documents that I knew were "in the cloud storage' but couldn't find (yes, I know, I'm one of those who wonders which cloud my stuff is in).  Raymond also set up my external hard drive so I could have yet another document storage location (to be really safe--especially since I still don't trust that cloud).

So now, instead of a computer that froze every few minutes I have a computer that is working well and I can concentrate on typing my end-of-term paper and not worrying that the computer will shut down.

Raymond was here about 90-105 minutes and the fee was very reasonable-- money well spent for what I got in return.

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.
