Dr. Antenna reviews (104)

I called Chris to have our tv antenna tower removed. He provided a quote over the phone & promised to come the next day. He arrived & did the job quickly.

I called Chris at Dr Antenna on a Monday to ask his advice on an over the air antenna setup I was looking to do. I had an old antenna tower that was attached to the house I moved into a year ago with an old antenna that didn't work. I was looking to install a new antenna on my roof to start receiving OTA television and wondered what I should do with the old tower. He stopped by the following day to take a look at the condition of everything. He suggested that I keep the tower, remove the old antenna and install the new one up there. He noticed that the tower itself had come away from the house over the years and wanted to re-attach it so it was stable. He gave me a quote of re-using the tower for the new antenna or taking it all down and installing the new antenna on the chimney not as high up in the air. He indicated the old towers are highly sought after now and can be quite expensive but they provide the best results. Even tho this option was cheaper he thought this was the way to go. So we scheduled a Friday afternoon appointment and he came out with a partner and tightened up the existing bolts of the tower and installed three more to stabilize everything. He scaled up the tower, removed the old antenna and broken rotor, installed the new antenna and came down to test the signal. After a tweak we were able to scan in a total of 51 channels. This is quite a large number for the GTA and said he didn't even receive 51 at his house. All the major US networks from NY are coming in clear plus the Toronto based stations all in HD. He fished the coax into my basement and terminated it at location I wanted and tested everything before he left. Highly recommended.

I installed an antenna on my home, how hard can it be! After 20 plus trips up and down the ladder to the roof, I could only get 7 channels. I phoned Chris at Dr. Antenna and left a message. Chris got back to me in short order. I explained my situation, sent some photos of the antenna. We agreed on what I consider a fare price to fix my antenna. Chris was out the next day and worked his magic. I now get 29 clear channels. I am very happy with the work Chris did. He is very professional and knows his business. Chris was on time, I would use him again. Greg

I planned to try and roof mount an antenna myself, but after buying the hardware decided I needed professional help. Chris came to the rescue. He came by the house the day after I called and gave me a reasonable quote, and came back 2 days later to install the antenna I had already purchase. The difference between having the antenna in the house on an upper story and having it on the roof was about 10 channels (I can get about 25 channels now). He tested my TV and explained everything to me clearly. He tidied up all my coax cable on both sides of the house (even the cabling that Rogers had left messy bringing the internet to the house). He's a nice and respectful guy and gave me a great service.

Chris did a fantastic job. Thanks to him Rogers will no longer get our business. Chris installed a HD antenna on our roof. After installation, we only received 15 channels. He came back (no charge), moved the antenna and didn't leave until he was satisfied we were getting all the channels we should. We now get 25 free HD channels. Great guy. Reliable, honest, and is very knowledgeable about antennas! Highly recommended!!

Chris showed up on time, prepared, and ready to work. We followed his suggestions regarding the type of antenna that would work best for our location. They installed it quickly, it works very well, and they calibrated it to maximize the number of channels and quality of reception. Chris also explained which channels we should received and what makes reception vary (decreased power on American stations at night, etc). He was friendly and professional and we are very satisfied.

I approached Chris with a custom ham (amateur) radio antenna and tower installation. This was to be a 21 foot vertical antenna mounted on a 20 foot tower with a 10 foot mast attached to my house. Chris and his assistant did a very professional job of putting up the tower and antenna. They followed my instructions in order to ensure that it worked properly and made sure that the lead in lines were properly secured. The antenna has performed perfectly as a result, allowing me to contact stations with good reports in Europe, Russia, South America and through out Canada and the United States. The antenna has been well installed and I have no fear of high winds or other weather related problems. I would not hesitate to suggest Chris to others as I found his price to be reasonable for the work he did (you couldn't get me up on that high tower if you paid me) and he was friendly and knowledgeable. He arrived on time, did his work quickly without rushing and left the work-site clean. It was a job I could not have done myself and it was worth every penny to be able to enjoy my hobby more fully with a good antenna up high enough to really get the signals out and catch the good ones coming in.

Contacted Dr. Antenna (Chris) regarding the removal of a TV Tower that we inherited when we bought the house a couple of years ago. Only decided to take it down this summer since it was: 1) a sight for sore eyes; 2) possibly a safety issue in the future. Chris was very easy going and helpful throughout the process. He arrived on the property at the arranged time and began working as soon as we gave him the OK. The disassembly and disposal of materials took less than an hour. He also kindly took a look at the roof while he was up there to inspect where the brace was originally installed and did some minor patch up repair. All in all, a job well done and fair price, I might add. Do not be hesitant to give Chris a call if you need a TV Tower down, or an HDTV antenna up, or even branch removal services! Thanks again! Highly recommended! J/L of Markham

I was considering doing the job myself, but fear and common sense prevailed, Chris was prompt, efficient and got the job done.. some things are best left to the professional..

I called Cris we agreed on a price for the work to be done, he did the work was very friendly. I called him again to adjust the antenna, I am very happy with what he did and I would recommend him to anyone. Dom
