Contacted Scott and he provided exactly what I needed. Answered his phone, provided a quick resolution, was prompt, professional, and informative during the process. Has good skills, experience, is a hard worker, and cares about the finished product. Enjoyed the experience and talking with Scott. Would highly recommend him and his services.

Was on time, did the job very productively with no time wasted, knew very well all aspects of the equipment that included projector, sound system throughout the house, another TV with surround sound. Would definitely recommend Scott!

Scott was great.  Very easy to work with and great experience.  I had already purchased the speakers I wanted to use -- and I had a lot of the wire.  Scott was willing to use my materials and he used some of his own when I ran out.  Great guy to work with and I would definitely recommend him.

It wasn't the bracket that I wanted. He sold it to me under false pretenses .

It went excellent!  From the first meeting (took a little longer due to travel on my side for Thanksgiving holiday), he was very professional and made me feel comfortable.  I purchased Polk In-ceiling speakers (he suggested the square ones for better look and installation).  
Scheduled for him to come before New Years so I'd have everything ready for a NYE party.  Took a little bit longer than expected, but well within the window he suggested (4-8 hours and he was right at the 8 hour mark).  The wiring both behind the TV, as well as behind the receive and other equipment was cleaned up by him.  Additionally he drilled a spot of the sub cable and placed my subwoofer in an out of site place.
All the speakers sounded great and looked just as good.  It took me a bit to get the outside speakers to work, but that wasn't related to his install (needed to play with the zone 2 settings on my receiver).  
When it comes time to install a TV out on the patio, and any other speaker work, he'll be the first person I contact and refer my friends and family to!

At times didn't seem to know what he was doing.  Felt like I could of done it faster.
Response from Surrounded by Sound Inc
"[Removed member name], I work as fast as possible. The structure in a wall does not always permit wires to run easily. To get a TV at exactly the desired distance from the floor you need to measure twice and cut once. As for price the Angie's List Big Deal price is a great bargain which included not only the 2 hours of labor but the materials and trip charge. $99 for all this is a great price. Please call me direct at 602-758-5103 if you feel I need to come out and touch up my work. Scott"

Scott came out and mounted my flat panel television to the wall in my living room. The job went very well,and I am happy with my service. 
I hope to use Surrounded by Sound Inc in the future to add speakers and other audio equipment.

He exceeded expectations.  Arrived on time.  Was very professional and courteous.  Installed very heavy tv wall mount.  Got right to business and cleaned up every little bit of mess before leaving.  Will definitely use again!
