The room is beautiful, the acoustics are incredible and the finishes are top-notch. Everybody that visits is blown away by the room! We had some challenges along the way, as with any project, and the AcousticSmart team ensured that we made it through and that the end product was fantastic. Thank you! **★★★★★ — drogal, June 2025** > I’ve dreamed of building a high end listening room and home theater for years. Richard and team helped me realize that dream. Their attention to detail is unsurpassed and the quality of the acoustic and sound isolation treatment that we installed was top notch. I couldn’t be more happy with the result! **★★★★★ — Michael, June 2025** > We had a home theatre built by Richard Charschan at AcousticSmart and they did a phenomenal job. We were incredibly impressed by the craftsman ship and overall look and feel of the theatre. They offered great advice during the entire process and the end product is outstanding. I would highly recommend AcousticSmart for your home theatre needs **★★★★★ — Seth Harris, Sept. 2024** > My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Richard and his team on our theater build. He and his team are pros! The quality workmanship, attentiveness to our needs, and willingness to exceed our expectations is what sets them apart. We had chatted with other firms but Richard stood out because of his knowledge, impressive portfolio of past work, and trustworthiness. Anyone who comes into our theater is blown away, and watching movies or TV in our theater has become a great experience. I couldn't recommend AcousticSmart more highly! **★★★★★ — HU-247491239, May 2022** > My DREAM!!! Lord of The Rings theater was envisioned, developed and built buy the wonderful people at AcousticSmart. Anyone looking to do a custom home theater or very simple elegant theater/screening room this is the company to go with period. From the custom design to the acoustic treatment to their outstanding custom leather theater chairs and the very carefully planned and organized project made this dream home theater come to life and made it my absolute favorite room in the entire house. I love every time I enter the room will be for many years in the future. I would like to thank Richard, Mark and Frank for making this process as easy and carefree as possible. A+++++ AcousticSmart **★★★★★ — ivan55boston, Nov. 2021** > The Acoustic Smart team executed a meticulously detailed plan for my home theater. The resulting room beats any theater I have been in. The site lines, the sound, the entire experience is awesome. If you want a 1st Class home theater, ask Acoustic Smart to design and build yours. **★★★★★ — HU-876261517, March 2021** > The theater that AcousticSmart recently installed is magnificent. Everyone that walks in there is blown away. As a real estate developer by trade, I’ve dealt with countless project managers and I can say with confidence Jim Damm falls at the top of the heat. Incredibly reactive, responsive, engaged, and effective on all fronts. If there was a problem, he’d solve it immediately. It’s been a pleasure working with all of the AcousticSmart team, and I will happily speak with any prospective clients or write a letter of recommendation if the need arises in the future. Hopefully, you will see more local business as more and more friends get to enjoy your creation. Thank you, for everything. **★★★★★ — Robert, March 2019** > This theater was started from a plan to use the movie Stargate as a theme. As the theater plan advanced thru a couple of design changes it was approved and installation was started. The wall covering is acoustic cloth with a design print of big sandstone blocks especially designed by them for this project and as you would find in an Egyptian tomb and it came out fantastically. The walls are acoustically treated as is the ceiling and it is covered with fiber optic stars with shooting stars and constellations. Sconces were made from scratch and resemble flickering torches. As the room is 15 feet tall it gave them plenty of room to put columns topped with design beams from column to column with hieroglyphics on everything. The door was an inspiration in itself and is covered with hieroglyphics from top to bottom and never fails to impress all visitors. The back counter is one piece of stained concrete with bar stools for extra seating. Egyptian statues were added in the front and are lighted. The extras are almost too numerous to name and most design pieces were done from scratch. Sound is completely contained within the room even at very loud settings. Installation with all equipment was about a year but I couldn't be more pleased and am in awe every time I enter the theater myself. **★★★★★ — Hillary Comora, Jan. 2019** > Acoustic Smart created a special room where our family and friends can gather and create everlasting memories. The room is modern, warm and timeless. They are a pleasure and nothing but professional to work with. **★★★★★ — judylangsamrubin, Dec. 2018** > Acoustic Smart was very easy to work with. They did an excellent layout with a very challenging space. They respected my interior design ideas and built the the cabinetry required exactly to my specifications **★★★★★ — George, Dec. 2018** > They were very professional. It was excellent workmanship. They were very honest. They delivered what they promised in a timely manner. We were extremely happy with them and highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — joseph labarbiera, Dec. 2018** > The proprietor is the consummate professional. I have dealt with Richard for many years and he has answered every call immediately and always provided a helpful response. ## Selected projects - [José Reyes Theatre](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jose-reyes-theatre-pj-vj~1601755) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 9 - [Modern Texas Custom Theatre](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-texas-custom-theatre-pj-vj~748901) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Eliptical Custom Theatre](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eliptical-custom-theatre-pj-vj~742125) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Modern Elegance in Greenwich](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-elegance-in-greenwich-pj-vj~742134) - Location: Greenwich, CT - Photos: 3 - [Ying Yang Custom Theatre](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ying-yang-custom-theatre-pj-vj~1601833) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Santa Monica Theatre](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/santa-monica-theatre-pj-vj~1500218) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Mariana Blue Custom Theatre](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mariana-blue-custom-theatre-pj-vj~748910) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Scarlet Getaway Custom Theatre](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/scarlet-getaway-custom-theatre-pj-vj~748909) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Grand Custom Theatre](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/grand-custom-theatre-pj-vj~742208) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Eastern Long Island Theatre](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eastern-long-island-theatre-pj-vj~742226) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [One Touch Living Theatre](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/one-touch-living-theatre-pj-vj~1140681) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Burgandy Custom Theatre](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/burgandy-custom-theatre-pj-vj~742177) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Starred Ruby Custom Theatre](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/starred-ruby-custom-theatre-pj-vj~742163) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [One-of-a-Kind Custom Theatre](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/one-of-a-kind-custom-theatre-pj-vj~748893) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [California Mediterranean Theatre](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/california-mediterranean-theatre-pj-vj~1140636) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [City Themed Custom Theatre](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/city-themed-custom-theatre-pj-vj~742188) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Arizona Desert Flower Theatre](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/arizona-desert-flower-theatre-pj-vj~1140649) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Football Stadium Themed Custom Theatre](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/football-stadium-themed-custom-theatre-pj-vj~742130) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Traditional Custom Theatre](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-custom-theatre-pj-vj~742198) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [2007 CEDIA Award Winning Theatre](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2007-cedia-award-winning-theatre-pj-vj~741716) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 [See all 60 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-automation-and-home-media/acousticsmart-home-theatre-interiors-pfvwus-pf~504474988) ## Community Q&A **Q: Who is the seat designer?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: AcousticSmart is the seat designer and manufacture.
