Project description
I am converting a spare room in my house into a dedicated home theater and need a skilled audiovisual installer to plan and execute the full setup. The room is roughly 16 by 20 feet with a blank wall for the screen and no existing AV infrastructure, so this is essentially a from-scratch build.
Scope of work includes helping me choose between a short-throw projector with a fixed screen or a large-format display (I am leaning toward a projector but want your professional recommendation based on ambient light and seating distance), mounting the projector or display securely, and setting up a 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound speaker system with in-wall and in-ceiling speakers where possible so the room stays clean and cable-free. You will need to run speaker wire and HDMI runs through the walls and ceiling, patch and paint touch-ups after fishing cable, and terminate everything neatly at a rack location where the AV receiver, streaming devices, and a game console will live.
I also need guidance on seating layout — where the couch and two recliners should sit relative to screen size and speaker placement for the best viewing and listening angles — and basic acoustic treatment recommendations if budget allows (not full installation of panels necessarily, just advice or a light install). The receiver needs to be programmed and calibrated (Audyssey or similar room correction), all sources tested, and a universal or app-based remote solution set up so my family can actually use the system without a manual.
I am looking for someone with proven experience running low-voltage wiring in a residential setting, who is comfortable with in-wall speaker installation, projector alignment/calibration, and basic home network integration (the receiver and streaming boxes need reliable Wi-Fi or wired ethernet). Please include examples of past home theater installs, your approach to cable management and wall patching, and a rough timeline. Budget is flexible depending on scope discussed, but I would like the room fully functional within two to three weeks from the start date. Local candidates or those willing to travel for an on-site day are preferred, though remote consultation for planning and equipment selection is also welcome before the hands-on work begins.
