Honest Install

After getting the runaround from some of the other places advertising on the radio, I found Honest Install online. My installation (mounting a flat-​screen on the brick fireplace) couldn’t have gone any better.
The techs were great guys, and I couldn’t believe that they didn’t make a mess at all (hard to achieve when drilling into masonry). Their drywall work (running wires through the wall) was actually better than the last drywall guy I hired! Great experience for me.
Our next project is coming up soon & I’ll be calling them first. ⁵⁄₅

We have hired Honest Install four times. They are amazing! Mickey is the best! He is so knowledgeable about home electronics. Eric was with him for our recent install. Both are so professional. They go beyond what is required to satisfy the customer. Request them and you will not be disappointed.

Pricing was upfront and honest, although a little steep to mount a tv. I did this part myself to save money. Would have been given a fairly quick response on a quote, but the email was sent to the incorrect address. I had to call hours later to follow up on the lack of response to find this out, which can be a little irritating. I would have preferred an in person quote from Bob to really assess my needs rather than guessing and felt the sales portion fell flat again here. Fares and Chris did a great job on the install. It looks and operates great. I would definitely recommend and would use again. If you are doing anything on magnitude, ask them to come out in person beforehand. The install team deserves a 5 but the sales team needs a little bit of work and brought the overall review down to a 4.

They asked for 500+ to install my TV at my new apartment I have the full equipment and everything. Honest? I don’t think so!

Time consuming install with no efficiency. Coordination of individuals was disrespectful to my time. Lacked knowledge compared to others.
All of the above are true, but their unethical and deceitful billing practices are the catalyst for this review.
The name of the company should have raised the red flag. When someone thinks its necessary to let you know they are «honest», you can bet, like in my experience, they are most likely not.

Honest Install has been a breeze to work with. We decided to upgrade from our one TV mode and join the 4k fun! Honest Install walked through our house, asked us what we wanted, what was important and gave recommendations — some less expensive than what we would have selected. The day of installers were awesome! Fares, Lance and Chris were super; meticulous, patient and asked my option on placement, and even left me hand written instructions. And cleaned up the dust and boxes!

Professional. That’s the first thing that jumps out in my mind about Honest Install. My appointment window was from 9 – 11 that morning. They arrived at 9:10 and the job was done by 11:30. I loved how courteous they were in treating my home as if it were their own. Measure twice, ha! They measured 3 times in some instances to make sure the final product would both look and function exceptionally. They even patched a hole I had from a prior nail I had that was just over where they hung the TV. They did a great job of cleaning up, leaving my home in the same shape as they found it. I think they actually left it better, since my TV and new sound system has my wife and I feeling like we are in a movie theater. I’d use them again for any future AV work I needed done and will not hesitate to refer them to anyone who needs this sort of service in the future.

I had Honest Install come out for a job I didn’t feel comfortable doing myself… it’s a new home and I wanted it done right. I called around to get quotes from most of the install companies and this was by far the best. After talking to them on the phone and reading other reviews on here, I felt confident in my choice. They sent two guys out to the job (running a 50 ft HDMI line from the back of the room to the front, via a hard to access area in the attic for a projector in my media room) and was done in about an hour. On top of that, they also pulled the pre-​wired cable for my surrounds while they were there, saving me even more time and effort. They also saved me future headaches with a projector mount that was much better than the one I was planning to use and installed theirs while there, all in the hour time frame!
I usually don’t write reviews, only for the above-​and-​beyond or the utterly awful… but these guys were awesome. A few months after they came out, the connector for the HDMI cable that was installed (heavy duty, 50 ft) broke. I called them to see if there was anything they could do and they sent another two guys back out and replaced it with a brand new cable AND put a 3 ft extender piece on it to prevent this from happening again!
I can’t speak to how much they would charge for a bigger project, but for this job and what the other companies were going to charge – I couldn’t have asked for anything better! Thank you!

The guys from Honest Install did a phenomenal job with our house. With the assistance of Honest, we have a TV moved above the fireplace, speakers relocated in the ceiling, and a projector installed upstairs. From the consultation helping me pick out the equipment, to the installation, the experience was a hit. Well recommended and will be my go to for future projects.

Dru and Dave were awesome! They arrived right on time, listened carefully as I explained the details of how I wanted my TV and sound bar mounted, and went right to work. A couple of times they stopped to ask my preference on small details, which I really appreciated. When they finished, they made sure I was happy with the work, and cleaned up very well after themselves. They were extremely professional and I’m very happy I called these guys!

Very unprofessional!!! If I can give them zero star I would. Call them for a quote, never got a call back. At least call and say they are busy. I will take my business somewhere else.

I GIVE UP!!! After 2 attempts to schedule a consultation, I never received a phone call back. Looking to buy 5 tv and setup for a media room. Possibly even a HA system. Unprofessional in how they handle phone calls (or is it unorganized). Would have love to have given them a chance.

Honest Install recently installed anew 4K curve TV above the fireplace in our home. What most impressed me was not the install itself, which was done perfectly, but HI’s responsiveness to my needs and concerns. There were some challenges pairing the 4K accessories with all my devices (BlueRay, DirecTV, iPad, etc.) and HI never dropped me following the installation as many installers would have, having done their part. HI technicians returned to my home 3 times over multiple days and communicated directly with other providers to get everything paired completely to my satisfaction. Well done HI!

I have nothing short of Fantastic to say about these guys and the work they did on my pre-​wired media and family rooms. Chris Manouel had managed to find the perfect blend of folks for my install who were very knowledgeable in what they were doing. Was truly impressed not just by the talent these guys displayed, but the amount of dedication they showed on the job. They worked for 11+ hrs straight the first day tirelessly while managing to see through walls to find wires with missing face plates, battling the questions and quick favors I threw at them, most importantly keeping that smile on their faces no matter how late it was in the day without EVER showing a hint of rush/​hurry on their part and still managing to show up promptly the next day to finish what they started.
Shout out to installers Dru and Chris — guys you were truly amazing at what you did here. The new black diamond screen is amazing and have several compliments already for it and the whole setup (Thumbs up for Martin Logan too !!).
If this review sounds too good to be true, so is finding a group of qualified, dedicated and customer friendly folks like these guys. Kudos to all of you. Very pleased with the work you did for us. Excellent service at affordable cost.

Highly recommend these guys if you want a great team to set up your media equipment. We recently purchased a house with a media room but I didn’t get a good vibe when visiting Starpower, nor did trust myself enough to try and figure it all out on my own so I called Honest Install after seeing their high ratings on Unilocal.
John came out and took a look at what was already in the room, wiring in the attic, etc. and then we talked over what we wanted for a final setup. He sent a detailed quote a couple days later; we discussed a few options via email over the next week or so before deciding to schedule the install.
The install team came out a few days later and got to work — while making sure each step of the way that they were setting things up exactly how I wanted. There were a few things that were not exactly as expected (some wiring was different than they had planned) but they had all the supplies needed to run different wiring and not hold up the process. When everything was installed, the installer made sure he answered any questions I might have, saying he’d stay as long as he needed. I didn’t have more than a couple questions but I thought it was nice he was willing to go over any concerns I may have had.
I’m not sure I’ll have another job like this since the media room is complete but if I do, I’d definitely call them again.

We are probably the last people in America who have never had a TV installed on the wall, so we didn’t really know where to begin. Unilocal to the rescue!!! We wanted 2 TVs installed and 2 rooms wired for surround sound. We liked that Honest Install could also do the Electrical work behind the TVs. These guys showed up on for our estimate and explained things very well. We were able to schedule the install the following week. The 2 installers showed up, did a very thorough and professional job, and left our home as clean as when they arrived. We will absolutely recommend them to our friends.

I use Unilocal for a lot of things because of their reviews, and that’s how I found out about Honest Install. I have used them twice to mount TVs and get a universal remote. They offered the best pricing out of all the local quotes I received, and they also got back to me quickly with my emails/​questions.
Both times I was pleased with the technicians that came out. Professional and friendly. They even helped me out with some wiring, which I wasn’t paying them for. They really are «honest» which is hard to come by with businesses these days.
Any other home theater issues I have in the future, I’m going to call these guys first.

ATT Uverse came to my home to install a new DVR controller for my cable. The installer disconnected my Bose system, told me it was broken and hooked the DVR directly to my TV. I had no surround sound, music, Pandora or anything. I called Honest Install. They came on short notice and had it back up and running on all zones in less than an hour. They also reconfigured the system from how the original Bose Installer had it installed and it works now with just one remote as opposed to multiple. Jerry and Chandler were GREAT! My bill was half of what I expected to pay.

These guys were great. They were prompt professional and did what they said they were going to do and for the price that they committed to. Great customer service.

I wanted my LCD tv mounted up on my fireplace but had no idea who to look for or what. I didn’t want to do Geek Squad b/​c I would much rather give my business to a local company.
I did a sort of random search within my zipcode and I found Honest Install’s website. After looking at their website and seeing what they had to offer, I gave them a call to see if they were the ones for me.
Chris answered the phone and was very very helpful and thorough. I was very pleased with our exchange. After he asked all of the questions that he needed to determine a price quote, I decided based on our conversation that I wanted them to do the job. I felt that they really did know what they were doing and would provide the quality level of service that I needed.
One of the things that really impressed me was the fact that they offer non-​business hour install times. He offered a 630p-​730p window for install to fit a normal work schedule. Since I don’t work a normal work schedule, I asked if there was anything earlier since I was available. He was able to accommodate that request.
2 installers (I can’t remember their names right now) came over in the window given to me. Both men were VERY polite and professional. The main installer made sure to ask me questions about placement of the tv, placement of the wires, etc. I was very appreciative of the information he gave me. He made sure I knew exactly what was going on throughout the whole process as they were doing everything. They made sure to confirm all my choices to be what I wanted and they did an OUTSTANDING job. No detail was left alone. My furniture was strewn about because I hadn’t moved everything to where I wanted it. The installers made sure to ask me if the tv placement was what I wanted in relation to where I had my furniture laying around. The little, yet important things made me happy :)
They took care of every detail: cables looks fantastic, cleaned up the connections I had already, and cleaned up any mess/​garbage that they had made in the process.
Everything looks fantastic and I couldn’t be happier. And they were both very friendly to boot.
The price for the service ended up being $ 150 less than what was quoted to me over the phone and that made me VERY happy.
I will happily recommend Honest Install to anyone I know that needs to have this type of service provided in their home.
