Home theater installation & service in Houston.

Design and installation built around the room

Start with how you use the space: a dedicated cinema, a family media room, or an existing theater that needs updating. We assess seating, sightlines, daylight, wiring access and the equipment you want to retain before proposing a system.

• Projector or display selection, screen size and mounting
• Surround and Dolby Atmos speaker layout
• Amplification, sources and cable routes
• Lighting scenes and practical control
• Agreed acoustic treatment, calibration and handover

For new construction, coordinate wiring and mounting provisions before walls close. In a finished room, we inspect access and discuss visible cabling, patching and other trade work before installation.

Dolby Atmos, acoustics and calibration

Speaker layout starts with the listening positions, available mounting locations, speaker coverage and the processor’s supported channels—not a room-length rule. A 5.1.4 or 7.1.4 layout describes channel configuration; neither requires one universal minimum room length.

We plan placement and aim using the applicable Dolby setup guidance, then assess levels, delays, crossovers and subwoofer integration. Supported room correction may include Dirac Live, Audyssey or other tools appropriate to the installed equipment.

Acoustic treatment and electronic correction solve different problems. Reflections, bass variation and background noise are assessed for the actual room; treatment and measurement deliverables are agreed for the project rather than promised identically on every visit.

For the technical detail, see our Atmos placement guide, room-acoustics guide and calibration guide.

Repair and upgrades for existing theaters

No picture, dialogue missing, intermittent HDMI, or a remote that no longer starts the room? Tell us what stopped working and what changed recently. We assess the signal path, control, power and network where relevant before recommending replacement.

Possible work includes correcting source and display settings, diagnosing audio routing, replacing a failed component, restoring supported control functions or recalibrating after equipment changes. Projector lamp replacement is model-specific; a lamp projector is not assumed convertible to laser.

Adding height speakers, changing a receiver or replacing a projector may be possible without rebuilding the room. Compatibility, cable capability, mounting and authorized access determine the scope. Source-dependent programming is discussed separately.

For integrated controls, see Control4, Crestron and Savant service, or start at our repair and takeover hub.

Projection or a direct-view display?

Compare screen size, seating distance, light control, reflections, installation access and budget together. Projection can suit a large image in a light-controlled room; a direct-view display may be more practical where daylight and everyday use matter.

OLED is not limited to 88 inches: LG has offered a 97-inch OLED. Available sizes and models change, so we confirm current options rather than use a fixed technology-wide ceiling. OLED screens still reflect room light; brightness, screen finish and window placement matter.

Large LCD and modular LED displays are other options, with their own cost, power, mounting and service requirements. No one display technology is automatically best for every theater.

Installation, testing and handover

1. Assessment: review the room, symptoms or project goals, retained equipment and budget.
2. Agreed scope: specify equipment, wiring, access, trade coordination and charges before work proceeds.
3. Installation or repair: complete the authorized work and check the affected signal paths and controls.
4. Calibration and handover: verify agreed listening and viewing functions, explain normal operation and provide the documentation included in the proposal.

Occupied homes, shared walls, HVAC noise and rack cooling need practical planning. Electrical or structural work is coordinated with the appropriate trades. Scheduling, follow-up and any warranty terms depend on the agreed work—not a blanket turnaround promise.
