Tim and his team from Revelation AV added ethernet wiring to my whole house. The service and experience was awesome! They were knowledgeable and thorough. They arrived on time and completed the task timely. The finish work was excellent. Thank you read more

I received a quote right away to install a bracket (provided by me) and mount my 85" tv on it. I was quoted $69 + $550 for two persons. I was a bit shocked because it was more than twice the amount of the second most expensive quote we received. I confirmed with Sam via text that the price was correct because it was more than twice the price of 4 other quotes I received. He confirmed that it was indeed correct. Perhaps their service is worth it, but I was quite satisfied with the company I chose for less than half the price. read more

Excellent! The team did an amazing job mounting my big screen TV over my fireplace. They fixed some minor poor patch work and set up left by the previous home owner at no extra charge. I'm very happy and would highly recommend! read more

Working with Revelation Services and Tim's Team designing my customized home theatre was an absolute pleasure. Other quotes I received from related home theatre companies was more of a 'cookie-cutter' approach of what you should get in a townhome. I found Revelation Services through a typical Google review search along with taking a look at BBB. Once I spoke with Tim and once you speak with him you can tell his passionate about his craft and actually listens to the customer; that's something new to me. Lol! However, closely working with Tim, he designed a theatre system (rack, speakers, tv, WAPs, running cables (all types) from all 3 floors, etc.) that reflected my optimal seating area, centralizing the sound precisely where I wanted to be seated. Tim has a team of an electrician, plumber, software programmer, painters and more; he can get just about anyone else he needs to complete your project. In addition, he recommended an alternate to a Crestron controller...an app called RTI Panel that can be installed on any Apple or Android device. This is where the software programmer came in handy. He ensured there were proper delays installed in order for each device or option selected would automatically open/close. Suffice to say, not dealing with a plethora of remotes is a first for me and I won't go back to using at least 3 remotes! Summation, at the VERY least, ensure Revelation Services in one of the companies to receive a quote from; he really does stand out from some of the competitors. Just be careful...he truly does not know the word no and will install any option/feature you want. But, the important key is that he will tell you if what you want works and if it's a good 'bang-for-your-buck'. read more

Great, professional service. Set up my TV quickly and made sure everything he did was approved before moving on. Highly recommend

Tim, Eddie and Lafayette were great installing my new TV in an interesting setup. Tim helped to ensure my setup was compliant with the latest standards. read more

Revelation Services installed 2 televisions with accessories at the condo in DC. Thorough, professional, knowledgeable, efficient to say the least. Tim and Mike arrived on time, protected the surfaces where working and was able to trouble shoot an issue with the tv right there on the spot. Thank goodness they know how to navigate any issues with the installation. Highly recommend them! Great job guys, we certainly appreciate it. read more

About the only that was revealed was poor service...1.5 hours late for appointment, overpriced, unable to complete a sentence without being interrupted and never followed-up. read more

Tim was thorough and professional. After another company left the job in the middle with no explanation, he was able to pick up the work and complete it while fixing issues the previous left me with. He also takes the time to explain what he is doing and gets the job done. Also was friendly and gave me free advice on other issues I was having. read more

I was having various problems with my smart TV and Apple Streaming Device. Tim phoned in advance to say he could arrive one hour earlier than scheduled; FANTASTIC. He arrived and got busy. His knowledge is extraordinary! All fixed within one hour and for a fair price. DOUBLE FANTASTIC!! I would recommend his services without hesitation. read more

We needed a TV mounted on the wall and Revelation Services provided a quote and arrived at the scheduled time. I thought we needed an IR extender, but turns out that was not required. Tim and crew did an extremely careful job dealing with an old house and plaster walls and mounted the TV unit at the right height - due to some careful checking before installation - and they managed to get it perfectly level - see picture. Similar to many of the existing reviews, Tim and crew were knowledgable, careful and look the time to do a great job. I would definitely call them again for any AV or tech related work. read more

Revelation Services - The Samsung "The Frame" mounted carefully so it's perfectly level! Much appreciate the attention to detail. - Home Theatre Installation Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Tim Cobb installed my new TV and sound equipment, linked everything to the existing dvd and Fios set up and was then careful in ensuring that I (a novice) was comfortable with how everything worked. Importantly, after almost two years when I needed help with the system, Tim was there to set me right. Excellent service throughout. read more

Tim and his team were knowledgeable, professional, and experts at their trade. I had a Big Box store do the initial installation of my TV over my fireplace and for unknown reasons they did a subpar job. It took years for the issues to appear (namely they didn't not use a large enough mount to reach the studs in the wall and only secured my TV in the drywall) and I am fortunate that a disaster was avoided. I contacted them for assistance, but only got the runaround. After calling to a few TV mount providers who offered varying degrees in confidence in their ability to address the issue to my satisfaction (and providing widely varying estimates) I got in contact with Tim.   With the brief details I provided Tim was able to accurately assess the issue and provide a remedy. Tim and his team communicated with me throughout the process and ensured that I was absolutely satisfied with the job done. The cost for the service was competitive with other estimates I received especially considering the repair work that they had to do because of the poor installation by the Big Box store. You might find a cheaper provider, but you get what you pay for. Revelation Services did an excellent job and I have no reservations about recommending them to anyone who wants the job done right the first time. read more

Spent three hours on the phone with the owner, Tim, on 8/16. He promised to get an estimate out on Friday 8/19, but I never heard back from him and still hadn't even though I've reached out twice after 8/19. I had to complain on yelp in order for him to text me back.. After reaching out he apologized and made me feel comfortable enough to take down my negative review. Sure enough though, a couple weeks after taking down the review he ghosted me again. Last heard from him on 9/7, it's now 10/19 and I've heard nothing even though he promised to follow up with a final estimate. He seems to make promises that he cannot keep, which is super annoying. I'm okay with businesses deciding not to provide an estimate, but the poor communication just feels rude. I would also add that while providing details about the project, I found it difficult to get a word in with him. He just talks non stop. He did appear to be knowledgeable but is probably not a very good listener. If there is some complexity to your project you should probably go elsewhere. EDIT: Tim's reply is indicative of how he does things it seems. Zero accountability on his end. See the attached screenshot where he provided some information about the estimate and said he would follow-up. Never heard back from him until I posted my review this morning EDIT 2: Notice how he ignores the fact that he said he would follow-up but never did. Again, zero accountability and almost seems like gaslighting. Choose wisely folks. EDIT 3: Adding yelp and text messages from the first time he ghosted me so it's documented here and others can know to avoid this guy. He does an awful job of setting expectations with clients and in some cases just outright lies about timelines on when he'll follow up. I gave him a second chance to make things right after I initially posted this review back in August. He barely apologized and instead tried to act like I had my dates messed up. Can't even give a sincere apology. Clown behavior. read more

Great experience with Revelation Services. Tim was very professional, knowledgeable and just overall a friendly guy. Had my LG OLED tv on my living room wall 2 days after my initial call to them. Very clean install and I love how everything turned out. The installation price was very competitive with what's out there, especially for the quality of the work performed. An A+ experience that I highly recommend. read more

Felt the need to write a review after receiving a quote for $550 for a TV to be mounted on dry wall! I've received 5 other quotes all for half the price including labor, the mount, and hiding cords behind the wall (and also 5 star Yelp reviews) WOW what a rip off read more

The picture on my tv had grown very dim to almost not being able to see anything. I had reached out to Tim, the owner, about possibly fixing it. Because of how cheap the tv was, it would ultimately cost more to fix it and not be worth it. Tim stayed on the phone with me to talk through what to look for in a tv when buying a new one. He didn't have to take the time to do that, but it was very much appreciated and showed how much he cares. I'll be sure to use Revelation Services in the future! read more

Tim was phenomenal! I called after hours to request information. He called back the next day and spent over an hour on the phone with me, explaining the quality of the equipment already in the entertainment room from when I bought my house. He then walked me through the options to take advantage of my equipment and space. He actually recommended another business for a portion of what I was looking to do and offered options for how he could help me with the rest of the project. He did all of that with no obligation. He was very knowledgeable and helpful and I would definitely recommend him and use his services! read more

Wow! This guy knows his sh*t! As result of our 30 minute phone consultation, we've decided to take a different direction with our AV setup. Above a fireplace isn't as easy as we thought. And it will make the TV high up. read more

We used Revelation Services to mount a 65 inch OLED. Clean installation that we're very happy with. We ran into some trouble with our HDMI cable that Tim resolved for us. Would use again next time we need a tv mounted or anything else audio visual. Highly recommend! read more

Tim was very helpful, he wasn't able to do my project bc he recommended my current AV I do it as it would save me cost. Very transparent and very knowledgeable. Will be using him in the future for sure! read more

Tim came out the very day that I requested help and did a terrific job fixing my television/audio-visual issue, at a fair price. He was knowledgeable and worked hard until the problem was solved. Would definitely hire again. read more

I recently had Tim and his team come out and install and test the following equipment: 1 - Denon AVR X8500HA 1 - Samsung QN90B - 85 inch 3 - Klipsch Pro-250RPW LCR 4 - Klipsch Pro-160RPW 2 - Klipsch Pro-1000SW 10 inch subs 1 - 8 port rack mounted UPS & surge protector The installation had some issues but we discussed an alternative solution and they could complete the job within the allotted time. I would definitely hire them again. read more

They wanted to charge me $300 for a simple drywall install above the fireplace. The electrical outlet is already in place and no other special work would be done. I hired another company for half the price and next day service. Shop around first. read more

I completely forgot to add the fact that this guy talks so much and makes money off of just talking and wasting more time. Beware! You'll end up with more out of your pocket since he goes by the hour. read more

What a great experience. Totally professional, and a great experience. My 65inch Sony looks beautiful. I provided my own wall bracket and Tim made the whole process easy. read more

We were baby proofing our condo and needed to mount our TV quickly. Tim was easy to communicate with, schedule with and even reschedule since my work schedule got hectic. He made the entire installation low stress, gave recommendations and was incredibly personable. He's was a total straight shooter, efficient, and quick working. I was amazed how fast he did our installation, hid wires and ran them in the wall etc Totally recommend using these guys! read more

Hello, the review was not fictitious. I received other estimates and had the work done professionally and accurately for far less than what was in the email from Revelation Services. I did not misinterpret the email. It took one person less than one day to do the job. read more

My fiancée and I purchased two Samsung Frame TVs that we wanted to hang next to each other on the exact same wall. Tim came over, mapped out our options based on the location of the studs, and had them fully installed in a couple of hours. He even took the time to help us program our remotes. They look absolutely amazing and we couldn't be more pleased! read more

I was looking for ideas to replace my very old Bang & Olefsen audio system. Tim did a thorough review of the existing setup and made a number of recommendations ranging from an all new system to fixing the existing system. I was impressed with the way he analyzed the situation and developed solutions. My experience with audio technicians has been mixed. Tim is one of the best. Jerry -Falls Church , Virginia read more

Tim was great. He came on short notice and talked every decision through with us. He worked hard to understand our needs and wants and assisted us in making sure we were setup properly for our daily lives. We added some extra work throughout due to changes in needs and some upgrades, he was incredibly flexible. In addition he seemed incredibly knowledgeable on all things having to do with installation and took the time to educate us. Tim was very cleanly and detail oriented, as well as pleasant. Highly recommend. read more

I tried a well-known TV mounting firm, explaining that I simply needed help unpacking a 55" Sony TV and putting it on a dresser. Nothing fancy. I would take care of the technical side. No luck. The company explained it simply mounted TVs on walls. By contrast, Tim promptly and cheerfully responded to my request even though this was not the most remunerative of jobs. In fact, he came out during the evening. He is the owner of the company, and he acted that way. I can't talk about fancy technical feats, since that's not what Tim did. But I do know that If I needed more complicated services, Revelation would be at or near the top of my list. I'm not surprised to see enthusiastic remarks from other reviewers. read more

Tim was absolutely awesome! Not only did he come to consult, advise me on the best location to mount the tv but he had all the equipment needed to complete the job. In addition to excellent customer service, Tim was timely ( no long appointment windows) and the price was very competitive! Great service, will use Revelation Services again for a second tv to be mounted! Highly recommend!!! read more

I stopped into their location on Eisenhower then was advised to reach out to get advise on having my existing (2) rear surround speakers mounted to my wall in my living space for in-wall wiring to my existing home theater receiver. This was about a 35' in-wall wiring job per speaker. Without doing any measurements to confirm the run, or wall composite/supports behind, etc., I was verbally quoted "around $2,300 for the job! Instead I was told I should get rid of my existing home theater, and 70" smart TV and buy an entire new Sonos home theater system from them. I asked for a comparative written quote for the Sonos and wiring the two speakers so I could see the actual costs associated. I was told they would be the same cost either way and no written estimate would be necessary, "no point in throwing good money after old equipment" was the explanation for no written quote. I was also charged the $95 consult fee to come to my home just to tell me to dump my entire home system, buy a new Sonos home theater system and TV which could have been done on the phone and saved the $95 fee. Ironically, I contacted two other home theater companies, received two similarly priced - much lower quotes for the job. I found a great company who advised me on my home theater product needs, Crutchfield was their name, and with their help and advice on my existing--good system (their words), I purchased (2) new Polk in-wall rear surround speakers, mounting brackets and the wiring needed for my home theater. They also recommended a local home theater installation company, which I contacted and they are doing the entire job with a written quote as requested within an hour after our phone call and my detailed equipment model info and photos of the space and install plan, this weekend! They quoted it to be 2 men at 4 hours for $450! This quote also included patch and paint work which Revelation said would yet an additional cost above the $2,300 for "return trips" around to complete the wall spackling needs. Needless to say I did not call Revelation back. read more

Kudos to Tim and his team at Revelation Services for installing my Mantel Mount. Tim made a house visit and provided me with an estimate and made several great recommendations to ensure the end result would leave a clean look including moving and reinstalling electrical, hiding the cable wire/box and attaching my soundbar to the TV for a streamlined look. He and his colleagues were extremely patient and courteous throughout the process. Due to the nature of the amount of work, it took about 7 hours to complete the job but once it was all said and done, it looked and worked as it should. Alittle more instruction on how to use the contraption would have been helpful but eventually I figured it out on my own. I did appreciate the follow-up from Tim a few days later to see how it was going. The total cost was slightly more than I had anticipated, nonetheless, Tim was willing and able to work within my budget and delivered great customer service. read more

I called to discuss a problem that I was having with my home security cameras that I thought would require replacing some equipment. Tim listened to me describe the problem I was having and then told me what the problem was and that I would not not need either a professional technician or new equipment to resolve it. Very honest. read more

I can't say enough about the service. I had a new TV mounted in my basement and another installed above my fireplace. Tim was prompt to the minute (don't you hate those guys who tell you "8 o'clock" and call you at 11 to say they're delayed?) He and his assistant Mike made the installations, hid the wires behind the walls, and cleaned up afterward. Timothy is font of technical knowledge and well worth listening to (if he doesn't post tutorials on YouTube, he should). For those who balk at the idea of a professional installing a TV, I get it. But TVs are getting 1. enormous 2. expensive and 3. far more capable. You can't even grip these new screens wrong or you'll damage them and dropping a $3000 television on a granite tile floor is a sure way to ruin your day. I would recommend this service without reservation. read more

I called Revelation Service looking to mount a television over a mantel in an old DC row home. Tim spoke to me over the phone about the challenges posed by the project and potential solutions for my budget. He scheduled the work extremely fast and came prepared for multiple contingencies. The work Tim and his colleague did was professional and extremely high quality. He thought of all kinds of issues that never would have occurred to me and addressed them all in a way that left me with the best looking set up. I highly recommend Revelation Service! read more

6 out of 5 stars, expert ideas, affordable prices and even nice team ...highly recommend Tim and his team!
