Rudy did a great job at installing my TV over my fireplace. He responded quickly and was very accommodating. He took extra effort to work into my time schedule on a weekend. Definitely recommend him. read more

Rudy did an excellent job mounting our TV. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of our questions throughout the process. He made sure everything was installed securely and neatly, and we really appreciated his attention to detail. We highly recommend Rudy to anyone looking for a reliable and professional TV mounting service! read more

I can't recommend Rudy enough! He came in after another installer (Armando) completely butchered a $10,000+ audio/video project and left me hanging with shortcuts, mistakes, and half-done work. Where others saw a desperate situation and wanted to overcharge, Rudy saw a challenge and delivered. He worked with what he had, fixed every issue, and got my entire system running perfectly without a single hiccup. His attention to detail is unmatched--especially on my projector screen install. I was nervous because the studs in the wall left no room for error, but Rudy's measurements were spot-on, and he got it done with absolute precision and accuracy. Beyond the quality, Rudy is fair, honest, and budget-friendly. He didn't take advantage of the situation; instead, he went above and beyond to make sure everything was done the right way. After dealing with the stress of a bad contractor, Rudy was a lifesaver and turned the whole project around. If you need someone who is a good person in your house, reliable, highly skilled, and professional for audio/video work, Rudy is the guy. I'd give him 10 stars if I could! read more

I had different quotes from Yelp but it was difficult to find anyone who was willing and confident doing both of electrical work and tv mounting for a reasonable price. I needed someone who could: 1) remove an old mounted TV and handle disposal 2) install a in-wall media box with an electrical outlet 3) dismount one 65" TV and set it up with a fireplace TV mount 4) install another in-wall cable management kit, then reinstall another 85" TV wall mount and mount a new 85" TV All of this work needed to be done while making sure the parts ordered would work/fit, the measurements were done correctly, the studs would be in the right places and the media enclosures would fit properly. Rudy planned everything with me over text messages the week before without even having come out first to do the initial estimate (he also spend a good part of the week local to the East bay). He gave solid pricing estimates without changing the final pricing afterwards and finished everything in a single day. All this while having a thoughtful conversation which I'm sure we both mutually felt was real and genuine. I'd be happy to rehire Rudy if I ever needed similar work done again in the future and would recommend Rudy to others based on the quality work and reasonable pricing. read more

Custom Home Theater - 65" TV with a fireplace mount - Home Theatre Installation Near Me

Rudy Q of Custom Home Theater did a fabulous job of installing four 8-inch surround and four 8-inch height in-ceiling speakers. Rudy removed 4 existing 6-inch surround speakers and replaced them with 8-inch drivers. He then added four additional 8-inch height speakers to an existing Denon AVR X8500H. The finished job turned out fabulous and I cannot commend him enough for the patience he took in completing the work in a precise and methodical manner. Rudy also routed a GPS antenna for a cellular range extender and there were no wires to be seen when the job was completed. I will use his services for the next installation project and highly recommend his services. I will also add that his rate was the most competitive of five price quotes that I received for the job. Rudy is a consummate professional and you won't be disappointed with the caliber of his work! read more

The first time, Rudy helped me mount my 83" OLED TV to the exact height I asked for and did a fantastic job. He was very careful and treated my stuff as if it was his own. I was so pleased with his work that I had him come back to help me install 4 ceiling mounted speakers. As expected, Rudy did an amazing job and was extremely careful and meticulous with everything he did. He went above and beyond to work with me to route the cables so that they are hidden. I highly recommend Rudy for all home theater and TV mounting related tasks! Tried my finished 5.1.4 system and everything sounds great, thanks again Rudy! read more

Rudy was the best! I sent a general inquiry to have 2 TVs mounted. He responded within 20 minutes and said he could do it and would be available the next day. He came the next day like he said and got to work. Rudy takes great pride in his work and is careful, respectful, and makes sure the area is clean. He takes perfection to the next level. He was patient with my wife who was unsure of where she wanted the tv to be placed on the wall and he showed every height of where she was suggesting. He was reasonably priced and I will definitely be calling Rudy again for all my tech needs. read more

Rudy is THE MAN! Went above and beyond installing a new amp. If you need home theater work done for your house, look no further.

I contacted Rudy to mount my new LG OLED 77" TV and Sonos Arc Ultra soundbar. My mounts were the Sanus VLF-728 and the Sonos brand wall mount. He provided excellent communication from start to finish. Very responsive over text/Yelp. Fair pricing and was able to book for the next day. Arrived exactly on time and was meticulous with his work. He double-checked the placement with me, was patient with adjustments I wanted, and the end result was perfect. Will definitely reach out for any home theater/TV mounting I need in the future (in fact, I'm already thinking about having him redo a mount I'm not so happy with in my garage space). read more

I called Custom Home Theater to replace an old receiver for my surround sound. Rudy responded right away and came over and looked at my receiver and system. He installed a 40 ft 4K HDMI cable and also recommended and installed a new receiver and subwoofer. He got my surround sound and tv up and running again. He is super honest and extremely knowledgeable about home theater's and sound systems. I would use him again as his prices were fair and he is extremely professional. Great service. read more

All around great guy and a true professional, can't recommend him enough! read more

We recently remodeled our house and my wife had one requirement: everything had to be clean-looking: no visible receiver, amplifiers, wires, etc. She also didn't want free-standing speakers - all speakers had to be installed in the walls and ceiling. Rudy helped me throughout the entire process and the end result is stunning! I had seen some pictures of his work and I wanted to create a "TV Wall" that would include the TV, front speakers, and a fireplace. Rudy worked with me to determine the measurements of the wall to pass along to our contractor. Rudy did all the wiring, installation, and set-up of the Atmos 5.1.2 system. I purchased all of the equipment through Rudy and it was a better deal than Best Buy. The receiver, amplifier, and the rest of my equipment/game systems are hidden in the cabinets next to the TV. Rudy is very professional, highly ethical, and very responsive. I recommend him highly for your home theater needs. I would definitely use him again. Here is a list of what Rudy set up for me - 83" LG OLED C3 TV, B&W speakers, Sonnance in-wall sub & amplifier, Marantz Cinema 40 receiver, Control4 Core 3 home automation controller & remote. The system looks and sounds great! I included a picture to show you how nice it looks (the speaker grills can be painted - still deciding if I want to paint them or leave them white) read more

I reached out on a Sunday evening asking if they could do a job next day and Rudy got back to me within minutes with an offer to help and a reasonable price. We messaged back and forth a few times and he was friendly throughout. In the end I didn't end up needing the service, but next time I do I will absolutely reach out to Custom Home Theater read more

Rudy and his teenage son came to my house to install a 55" TV and Sonos Ray sound bar into a newly installed media center. Upon arrival both Rudy and his son were very polite and interested in being clean, offering to remove shoes if wanted. The two got straight to work and impressed immediately with careful measurements and gentle handling of the equipment. The work they did is clean and very professional. Before they left they made sure to tell me I could call them if anything was not satisfactory. I would highly recommend Rudy to anyone in need of Home Theatre work. Thanks Rudy! read more

Rudy did an outstanding job for me as part of my move. I was moving from one home to another and had several pieces of home theater gear to move, plus an existing Control 4 system at the new place that had to be reactivated and integrated with my old gear. The new place also had Ethernet in the walls that had never been configured. Rudy listened carefully to what I wanted and did all the work exactly as asked. The final job is extremely professional and fits in great in my new home. If you're looking for a Control 4 expert Rudy should be your first call. read more

Sonos finally working after Rudy and his son Chris fixed a problem I've had for years. I have been plagued with Sonos issues for a long time related to my wifi. No one was willing to come out to help me without charging insane Wi-Fi network install prices. Rudy diagnosed the problem very fast and made reasonable recommendations to correct the problem. He fixed it fast and we are super happy! His prices are reasonable and work superb. I highly recommend him! read more

Rudy, Custom Home Theater, was great to work with and very prompt in resolving issues we had with our existing Control4 system. Our system was originally managed by another company that disappeared on us and left us with no option for support. After finding Rudy, he managed to take a look at the system, fix the issues and was willing to answer all our questions. Great support and value. read more

Rudy was delightful to have in the house and I appreciated his excellent work in both mounting the TV and cleaning up my computer set-up. He made it look easy, when it wasn't. Everything functioned perfectly and looked beautiful. Relative to past experiences, I had a lot more peace and confidence while he was drilling holes in my pristine new walls. The price was fair and reasonable. I feel lucky to have found him and would highly recommend him! read more

Would happily give Rudy and his son more than five stars if I could. Another Control4 company Installed our Control4 system for audio/video in 2010. Big mistake. Have had issues that no "certified" Control4 technician could ever solve. Rudy took care of all of them, without any of the nonsense that other Control4 companies have insisted upon--e.g., we will only service your system if you invest $30k plus in new upgrades and installations. Am not a fan of Control4, but if you, like us, own a Control4 system and need help without the ridiculous requirements of other installers and services, Rudy is the person you need to call. He is an expert like none other we've encountered. Cannot recommend him more highly. P.S. Rudi is a one-person operation so he may not get back to you immediately. Persist. You will not be disappointed. read more

Rudy and team are hands down AMAZING. I messaged a handful of businesses through yelp in search of a quality professional to mount two TVs and a oversized piece of art and I'm sooo glad Rudy responded! Not only was he prompt via message he booked same day service! He got right to work, came prepared with all of the tools required and really did an outstanding job. My biggest concern was hooking all of the cords up correctly since I'm tech challenged but Rudy is an expert and had no problem at all. He's truly a perfectionist which is exactly what you want when booking a service like this! They left my new apartment cleaner!! Thank you guys!! read more

I have used the services of custom home theater a couple of times over the past two years. Recently I had Rudy and his son representing custom home theater install a projector in my home office along with an electrified projector screen. Rudy has very professional and knowledgeable and deployed the projector and screen in a timely manner. This projector and screen have been a game changer for me and my business and I am greatly appreciative of the work done by Rudy and his son to get this done for me. read more

Excellent honest and reliable service . I called Rudy and he called me back and promised to come the next day. He did and diagnosed and fixed all the problems of control4 and the network that was set up by magnolia. i Spent a lot of money with magnolia to set up my control4 system for my house and they decided to drop control4 and left all their customers with no support . I called several times with no response they said look for another dealer . I am glad I did find Rudy . I would highly recommend him to anyone . read more

Overall Rudy and his Son Chris did a wonderful job handling all the low-voltage wiring, home theater set up and much more. We're glad that Rudy is a "one-stop shop" for us, because our project is pretty big. My husband and I felt that we were in good hands. Although I'm giving 5 star, I'd say there're a couple areas I wish Rudy could improve -- 1. Responding to emails/text message. Would be great if I could consistently get replies within 36 hours. :) 2. My project is pretty big and requires Rudy coming onsite multiple times. There were a couple times that after Rudy finishes one batch of work, I had to wait for more than 2 weeks until Rudy is available to work on my project again. If the waiting period between each trip to my job site is shorter, that would be awesome. Still, my husband and I are happy to give Rudy two thumbs up and recommend him to family/friends. read more

Rudy came by today to figure out how to connect our 25 year old sound system to our new smart TV and our current lack of Xfinity. We now strictly do streaming which apparently caused our sound system to go kaput. He spent time doing it properly. Rudy then made sure I was happy and understood how to make it all work again once he left the premises! He also saved us money by recommending a more reasonable piece of equipment we needed for an upgrade. He also said he would come back to put it in at no additional charge which I felt was more than fair. Highly recommended! read more

Outstanding service! Rudy and his son are very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommended for HTS installations and upgrades

Once you pay thousands to have your system installed, you will get no customer service. I had to change companies in order to fix glitches. He does not respond to messages. read more

I don't want to give a 1 star because I didn't actually use the service but will give 2 because the guy ghosted me. I've been looking to get a home theatre setup going and thought these guys seemed reliable. He was slow to respond at first and then just stopped responding altogether. Per his message he was supposed to return on 7/6 and I'm writing this review on 7/16. I left a voicemail and never heard back by phone either. Very disappointed because I'm sure they're legit but I shouldn't have to beg someone to take my money. read more

For my TV wall-mount & home theater system setup, called Rudy based on his awesome reviews online....he said would stop by to look at the walls and placement so to design. Then, he sent me the quote (per task) so it was very clear what work take how much. Once the work started, they were very meticulous, clean and very professional. The system and tv were setup with zero drywall work and look great. He took time to upgrade my control4 OS and set it up. Its been few days...we are very happy with the work and Rudy was very professional still very connecting throughout the project. Thank you, Rudy! read more

Highly recommend Rudy and his partner. They mounted my TV, with wires hidden in the wall. Also mounted my surround speakers from the ceiling. Took their time to ensure it was done right. Didn't let the fire break in my wall keep them from running all the wires up. The quality, courtesy, and communication are top notch. Can't go wrong with Rudy! read more
