HOME TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION CERTIFIED

Custom Theater and Audio is certified by the Home Technology Association (HTA), meaning we have undergone a rigorous background check and application process to ensure our company is technically competent, demonstrates solid customer service, and has a positive reputation in the custom installation industry. Part of the certification process includes multiple manufacturer endorsements, local industry professionals, builders, designers, and architects in our market.

When hiring a company to enhance your home, the installation firm you choose has an immense impact on how you live in your home. The Home Technology Association, a non-biased third-party organization, has taken the guesswork out of deciding who is trustworthy, who is technically qualified, and which companies have a proven history of taking great care of their clients. When you hire a company that has been evaluated and certified to meet the HTA’s stringent standards, you can rest easy in the knowledge that you will love your new home technology. Less than 10% of companies will reach this status; Custom Theater and Audio is in that top 10%.

What’s different about HTA Certified companies?

  • Seasoned professionals with proven technical expertise
  • Phenomenal, ongoing aftercare service
  • Endorsements from manufacturers, local industry peers, and design/build professionals
  • Background checks for all new employees
  • Proven, strong business performance
  • Ability to deliver high-performance enterprise-grade computer networks and AV solutions
  • A reputation you can trust

Testimonials

John I.

Custom Theater recently installed a Home Theater setup in my Sunroom (yes, my sunroom!!). The install included a 65-inch Sony 4K TV, a Kaleidescape movie server & a beautiful equipment cabinet by Salamander. They also pre-wired my Theater/Sunroom for in-ceiling Dolby Atmos speakers (soon to be installed). I will then have a 5.1.4 surround sound Dolby Atmos system. Custom Theater also installed a Sony 48-inch TV with a Yamaha sound bar & a second movie server in my Den.Everything, including the lighting, is controlled by "Universal Remote" which they provided & programmed. The last 4 pics on their website shows my Sunroom/Theater room & my Den.

Everyone out there, if you want a first-class quality installation of a small or large Home Theater, see the people at Custom Theater & Audio. By far, they have the most knowledge I have ever experienced with regard to audio & video products.

You really won't find anyone better than Custom Theater. I will continue to use them for all my future upgrades.

Andrew Stuerzel

Just had Custom Home Theater install a home theater and house audio. Could not be happier. These guys are true professionals. Had a 110-inch screen with a new Sony 4K projector with Monitor Speakers and Denon receiver. Amazing. They also mounted my TV's, installed Monitor Speakers throughout the house with all equipment located in a remote closet. Clean and professional from start to finish. If you’re looking for a home theater or house audio system don't look any further. These guys are fabulous. John could have not been better. He worked with me every step of the way. Installation was smooth and professional. Can't say enough. Tom, Shawn, and John did a bang-up job. Thanks Soo much. Kathy and Andy.

Bob Leeper

I have worked with the guys at Custom Theater in both a situation of retro-fitting an old house and building a new home. They are very creative, and thorough. In the old house they got cable installed where the cable company said it couldn't be done. In the new one they accommodated all of my peculiar requests and stuck with me through some implementation challenges. Service after the sale is terrific. Pricing is very fair in my opinion.

Chase K

This is a must stop for all audiophiles or anybody wanting a new entertainment system. The customer service was outstanding. They were friendly and ready to help. The prices were just as good. They were even better than big box stores such as BEST BUY. They also had some products that I couldn't find anywhere else. If they didn't have a product they were happy to order for you at a great price.

Steve Allison

I have used Custom Theater & Audio to wire our entire house when we built it 7 years ago, and we continue to use them in our business locations. They are efficient, technical, and reasonably priced. Most important, they are professional. When the technician leaves, you can look at the wiring and tell that it was done by a professional company.

The service is excellent, each installer is extremely knowledgeable. The most impressive aspect of the installation was the attention to detail they used to make sure everything was perfect, from the look to the sound. Thank you for an amazing system, the picture is incredibly, and the sound matches.
