    TV Tower Removal

    Christopher was great His helper excellent as well Lots of fun while doing professional job Chris likes to sing to his great country music while working and his partner very engaging in interesting conversation I would highly recommend Chris was willing to travel 250 km and back to take down my tower Very few people to do this job in my rural town area who are bonded and have liability insurance Clean up down completely The whole process about 1/12 hours I struggled to find anyone I could trust to do this work as my neighbor ‘a house close to mine with overhead hydro wires Ja’Nell M Brenner

    Replaced defective antenna / pre-amp with a European Deep Fringe Yagi on 40 ft tower.

    Chris is the third antenna installer I contacted to do this work. The first one, who claims to have been in the business most of his life, did everything he could to dissuade me from installing an antenna he was not familiar with even though I had provided him with all the manufacturer's technical literature and pictures of my existing antenna and tower. Finally after numerous emails he simply backed out and refused to do the work. The second contractor I found was also familiar with my location and had numerous years in the business. At the last minute, he advised that he had hurt his knee and would not be climbing any towers any time soon. Christopher was a real breath of fresh air! He had no problem in agreeing to take on the work as long as I acknowledged that he would not guarantee the performance of my "customer supplied antenna". To make this long story short, Chris arrived yesterday (the July 1st holiday) with his wife and did an incredibly professional job in removing my old antenna and pre-amp and installing my new antenna. His cost, on a time and materials basis, was significantly lower than I had anticipated and is entirely fair. This is the third time I have had work done on this antenna tower over the last 25+ years. Christopher was, by far, the best equipped, most professional person who has climbed my tower to install an antenna. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him for this type of job. I am located in a deep fringe area. My old deep fringe yagi antenna did a pretty good job until the pre-amp died. The new antenna is even better. The total number of Channels I now get, including sub channels is 36. This is 10 more than with the previous antenna when it was working.

    Antenna raise and reposition

    We had Christopher raise and reposition our antenna. Prior to the work we were lucky to get 30 channels (and many of those would drop periodically). Christopher mounted the antenna on a pole to give it better height and also aimed it properly and now we get about 13-15 channels extra. Signal seldom drops now and we rarely lose Buffalo channels any longer. We even get a few Rochester stations on occasion were we never saw any before. Dr Antenna knows his stuff and is a friendly individual and great worker/technician.

    Antenna removal

    I called Christopher about an HD antenna that had become loose on my roof. He said he was in the area and would be at my house shortly. He arrived within an hour and a half, and had the antenna down in less than an hour after that. I wish all contractors were as prompt, responsible, and efficient as Christopher. Bravo to him and his company.

    Ketchen TV Antenna

    Chris did not get my Kitchen TV Antenna working. Amateur and He made a mess of my house by walking up and down with his shoes on for 2 hours. I realized too late that he could not do the job and asked him to leave and he charged me $125. I am not angry and I think this is a fair review. I paid Chris because I felt that I had to pay for my own mistake for hiring an Amateur. I am writing so other will not make the same mistake.

    Answer from pro:

    I'm sorry you feel that way Mr. Wilson I'm a good technician but I'm not a magician I can't make wires appear in your attic that aren't there spent an hour and a half checking your system checking all the wires you said they were in the attic and none of them lead to your kitchen Should I have not been paid for my attempt to trace wires that are not there anyone who reads your review is going to realize you're just an angry man definitely not an accurate review of me

    Antenna Removal

    Christopher and Kathy came to help us remove an old, tall (60ft) metal antenna attached to our house. They did a quick efficient and cost effective job removing the antenna, which speaks to his depth of experience with this kind of work. Christopher also handled our many questions about the risks of the job with patience and cheerfulness, and we saw as soon as he began to work that he worked with care to mitigate any risks. He stayed on his quote and time expectations as well. Thanks Christopher, so happy to have that thing gone!

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you very much I'm glad it's gone and I'm glad it went well Enjoy your new house

    Well Done

    I called yesterday, and he was able to show up this afternoon. The problem was a loss of signal strength causing the complete loss of Buffalo PBS (ch. 17) and poor signals for other channels. It was finally traced to poor connections on a lightening suppressor. For that price, the antenna direction was adjusted, and the coax cable replaced. This is a professional grade supplier, who has the tools and parts to do the job correctly the first time.

    adjusting antenna

    I needed to adjust the antenna. After he cleaned it, it was not bolted back properly. it is worst now then before he did anything. When I called him back, he told me I'm not telling the truth. And did't do anything about it. My antenna is constantly moving. now I have about 3 channels, sometimes 11 channels. Its have to be stabilized . When you came here it was a lucky day, with about 20 channels. I can't depend on it, because it is constantly moving. Its have to be bolted properly.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Elizabeth I'm sorry you're antenna is giving you problems I came out to your house I checked the reception you were doing very well I check the angle with a compass the antenna is properly set up I told you I couldn't get on the roof in the winter I came all the way out to Mississauga I didn't charge you a penny Just tell me what you'd like me to do I will do it when the weather gets a little bit warmer I don't think this review is accurate thank you
