I had an issue with a component last Friday afternoon during Columbus Day weekend. I called the office and they tried to fix the problem on the phone. It could not be fixed. They had a service tech person at my house within an hour who fixed my problem. They could not have been nicer or more professional. Great experience.... **★★★★★ — malcorta100, Jan. 2018** > Captive Audio is exceptional. From the moment we started the process with Captive Audio the job was seamless. Our project involved purchasing a new tv to be mounted on the wall above a fireplace. The company was prompt in responding to all calls and emails. Our estimate was provided quickly and the project stayed on budget. Brandon and his entire team were a pleasure to work with and delivered high quality work. I, highly, recommend Captive Audio for your next project. They are so fantastic we have already done a second project with them. **★★★★★ — LaRue Architects, Nov. 2017** > We have worked with Captive Audio on numerous projects and each and every one is a true pleasure. They are professional and personable. They understand our architectural drawings which makes working with them seamless and easy. Captive Audio devises creative and effective solutions to any challenge presented. Their team does exceptional work which is why Captive Audio will always come highly recommended from LaRue Architects! We look forward to every opportunity to collaborate with them! **★★★★★ — Matthew Rohrbach, Nov. 2017** > The biggest compliment I can give to Captive Audio is that everything they told me from the initial consult held true throughout the project. They gave me as detailed an estimate as can be provided and the final invoice was right in line with that estimate. The work was completed in a professional manner and efficiently. I'll come back to use them again for my next Home Audio/Video needs.. **Comment from Captivate Inc.:** > Thank you for your review, Matthew! We're glad that we were able to meet your expectations throughout the process! **★★★★★ — Kathleene parker, Oct. 2017** > Our experience with Captive Audio has been nothing but excellent! > From their attentive staff to the detail they put into making everything work perfectly, 5 stars for sure! **Comment from Captivate Inc.:** > Thank you, Kathleen! We hope we can continue providing you with the excellent service you have grown to know through Captive Audio! **★★★★★ — Shoberg Custom Homes, Oct. 2017** > Shoberg Homes has worked for many years and on multiple projects with the team at Captive Audio, and we could not recommend them more. When planning out the home automation for TVs, Speakers, Lighting Control, WiFi, Speakers, Audio, Mechanical Shades, and HVAC Control, we need a professional at the table early in the project. They must work closely across the project team, including the owners, architects, designers, builders, and other subcontractors to design a system that brings about an easy to use and enjoyable experience for the clients. Captive Audio has always been that type of vendor for us and many other high-end builders in Austin. Their entire team is excellent to work with and you can count on them to get it right the first time. Thank you, Captive Audio, for taking such good care of our homeowners! **Comment from Captivate Inc.:** > Thanks for the review! We are always happy to work with the Shoberg team on the beautiful projects you guys do! **★★★★★ — Milo Burdette, Sept. 2017** > The Captive Audio team helped us with the installation of a complete house audio and video system. It has been a terrific system and if it ever needs tweaked, the response is quick, thoughtful and thorough. I recommend them highly. **Comment from Captivate Inc.:** > Thank you for the review, Milo! We were very happy with our work done on your system and are glad you are too! **★★★★★ — Smith Tonahill, Sept. 2017** > Very professional. They sell a great product and are committed to providing a high level of customer sevice. I had a minor issue on a Friday night and emailed them so they could take care of it on Monday. Instead, I received an email from them early Saturday morning saying they were looking into the problem. Later that day, I received a call from them saying they were able to take of the issue remotely from their office - another great reason to call Captive Audio if you are looking for a great A/V company in Austin. **Comment from Captivate Inc.:** > Thanks so much for the glowing review, Smith! We're glad we were able to take care of the issue and that you are happy with our service! ## Selected projects - [Builder's Abode](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/builder-s-abode-pj-vj~2645790) - Location: West Lake Hills, TX - Photos: 21 - Description: When a notable Austin builder was designing his dream home, he wanted the best of the best on the project.
