They're a very thorough and strong team. I was doing a rooftop/pergola TV/soundbar install. I had a 55" Samsung Terrace. I had a SONOS Ray soundbar, since my entire house is SONOS, but they really pushed me NOT to go w the SONOS and make sure to get a weatherproof Samsung Terrace Soundbar that fits perfectly w the TV... They came back as soon as I had the Soundbar, they even fortified the mounting wood pillar to my pergola frame to ensure everything remains stead. I'm super pleased and it was affordable, timely, and the communication was stellar.

Every time Virgil and Dan have shown up, they are in full professional mode, assessing the situation, making sure we have everything needed for a smooth setup. These last couple of visits have been in Covid-time, and they wore masks the whole time. I'm grateful for the couple of times when I couldn't figure something out with our system, and called Virgil, who cheerfully got me on the right path. I would use Universal again, and give this company my whole-hearted endorsement.

Instead of saying "yes, this is Universal Home Theater" he responded "how can I help you" and after proceeding with the reasoning for my call, he states they no longer do installations... Odd since the business says open and there are current reviews. I love when people show their true colors immediately as it allows me to hire real professionals who actually align with me.

This is a fantastic, helpful place. A few years ago I walked into Royal to buy a TV.

Joe was very kind and helpful, despite resale not quite being their business. He located the precise set I wanted (from another dealer in Florida!) and hand-delivered it to our apartment for a great price. It's still one of my favorite service experiences in the city. Over the years I've recommended Royal to several friends, and if I ever needed repair work I wouldn't hesitate to contact them again. A big box store just can't compete with their wealth of experience and clear passion for the field.

Hired Twizted Home Entertainment through Thumbtack. I thought the team was generally good to work…read morewith while the install was happening, albeit a few issues here and there. However, later found out that there was substantial damage done to one of the speakers I had installed (MSRP $999/each). I reached out to the owner and was told there was no way their team could've caused that damage and to return my products to the vendor. Pictures show this is clearly not an issue from use, as the driver is pretty much shoved in on one side. Notwithstanding, some of the work was not performed as initially discussed (i.e. ethernet cables to cameras were run outside instead of through soffits/attics), and the team was quick to make holes in the ceilings and walls (which ended up being in the wrong places). Given how things have shaken out, I cannot recommend this company for any work. Let the work speak for itself in the photos and see the other reviews online regarding damage. The free work Ron mentioned is shown below with the one ethernet cable hanging from the side of the house. I paid in full afterwards, so if I had high expectations or demands that were "met," I think the highest expectation I had was for them not to damage the very thing they're installing. I actually have texts from Mo partway into the installation where he essentially told me to install things myself because he thought they were too valuable for him to install (which was part of the services I hired them for). Also beware of some of the other positive reviews, as one just popped up that of course mentions "no holes" for similar set up and the initials match one of the employees on Yelp (Mo N.), but on Google and Thumbtack it shows two different names altogether for the same review. Seems like they're padding the reviews and photos so you won't see the work they did at my home.... They're also now threatening me via text to stop updating my reviews for calling them out. There's been a handful of 5 star reviews in the last 24 hours after posting my review used some old photos from their Thumbtack and website (which they removed and replaced).

Twizted Home Entertainment exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, their team was…read moreincredibly thorough in helping us select the right sound equipment and integrating it seamlessly with our short throw projection TV and in-home sound system--which hadn't been working since we moved in. They didn't just stop at audio/video setup either. They connected all of our TVs, shades, and thermostats to a single, easy-to-use app on our phones, making our home smarter and more convenient than ever. Mo, in particular, was outstanding--knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and truly focused on customer service. Not only was the entire experience smooth and professional, but the cost was also significantly lower than other quotes we received. We'll definitely be using Twizted again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for smart home or entertainment system services. A+ experience all around.
