 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I have worked with Terry at Elite Home Entertainment for the last 10 years with our home in Ellicott City and our home in Rehoboth Beach, DE.  Most recently Elite Home Entertainment helped outfit our renovated home with surround sound, wifi HVAC controls, wifi extenders and indoor and outdoor TV and sound.  We also used them to install Gemstone Lights on the exterior of the home.

Terry and his team worked diligently to get the work completed on the schedule necessary for our builder and to get us back into our home in a timely fashion.  Terry and his team were incredibly respectful of our family, our dog and our home each time they came.

Additionally, the support that Terry and his team provide is top notch and they always ensure we know how to operate our equipment.

I’ve had numerous products installed at my property over the last 10 years and have been very pleased with every interaction with the entire Elite Home Entertainment team.  They are my “go to” company for all things involving video and audio.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Updating my review from 5 years ago.  In the past year I have had Elite Home upgrade my security system and entertainment center.  Everything was first-rate and they were patient enough to answer all my questions.  If I have an issue, I just call them.  Could not be happier!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Wonderful experience from start to finish! Terry gave a clear proposal with different price point options for outdoor sound system and interior cameras. Scheduling was very easy. Tamara from the front office is very nice and even drove over to drop off a goody bag with Elite swag in it. When the staff showed up they were well prepared, very friendly, and ensured at the end we were comfortable operating our new system. Their attention to detail, respect for our property, and quality of systems they offer puts them at the top of the game. If you are looking for a top notch company that goes above and beyond look no further than Elite Home Entertainment. You will not be disappointed! Thank you Elite for the great customer service!

Why Homeowners Choose Custom Theaters

Most people want better entertainment but run into the same frustrations:

TV sound that feels flat

Rooms that aren’t optimized for viewing

Too many device options and confusing setups

Multiple remotes and apps

No idea how to get true “cinema quality”

You shouldn’t have to be an audio-video expert to enjoy a room that feels like a private cinema.

We design it. We install it. You enjoy it — right here in our own Forest Hill community.

(4K/8K TVs, projectors, concealed screens)

Surround Sound

Designed for Any Room

From the stately estate homes on the larger lots around Rock Spring and Jarrettsville Pike to walkout basements, bonus rooms over the garage, and open family rooms in newer Forest Hill neighborhoods, we tailor every design to your home’s layout, light, and lifestyle. Country properties out toward Eden Mill and Jarrettsville often have the space for a dedicated cinema room, while many families simply want a living room that transforms for movie night — and we build both beautifully.

HOW IT WORKS

Three simple steps from first conversation to a home that just works.

01.

Consultation

Because Forest Hill is our home base, we can meet you at your house quickly, walk your space, and learn how your family watches, listens, and hosts. From there we design the displays, wiring, seating, and automation that fit your home — and, on the larger properties around Rock Spring and Jarrettsville Pike, the acoustics a dedicated room deserves. There is no cookie-cutter package here; every plan is drawn for your room, your budget, and the way your household actually uses it.

02.

Installation

Our local team handles professional wiring, mounting, calibration, and setup — dialed in and done right the first time, typically in one to three days for most Forest Hill homes. Because our shop is minutes away, we’re never far if a detail needs finishing after the trucks leave the driveway.

03.

Support Plans

We back every install with ongoing support, both remotely and in person. As your Forest Hill neighbors, we’re a short drive away whenever your system needs a tune-up, an upgrade, or a friendly hand — so it keeps performing for years, not just launch night. You’ll always talk to the same local team that built the room, never a distant call center.

Optional Upgrades

Acoustic panels • Star-panel ceilings • Reclining theater seating • Low-latency gaming enhancements

FAQ's

How much does a custom home theater cost?

Pricing near Forest Hill varies with equipment quality, screen size, audio configuration, and whether we build a dedicated cinema room or upgrade a space you already love. At your free consultation, we recommend the best system for your budget and goals.

Do I need a dedicated theater room?

Not at all. Some of the best rooms we’ve built for our Forest Hill neighbors live in finished walkout basements, lofts, and living rooms. We design around your space and optimize for acoustics, lighting, and viewing distance — and country lots suit a purpose-built room beautifully.

Is a projector or a TV better for home theaters?

It depends on the room.

Projectors work best in low-light or fully dark rooms with plenty of distance.
High-brightness 4K/8K TVs are great for mixed-use rooms with windows or ambient light.

We’ll recommend the ideal option for your layout.

How long does the installation take?

Most installations for Forest Hill-area homes take one to three days, depending on wiring, room prep, speaker count, and automation. Larger estate-room builds may take longer. Because we’re based right here, scheduling is easy and we give you a clear timeline up front.

Can you hide wires and equipment?

Yes — clean, invisible design is one of our core values, and Forest Hill homeowners ask for it constantly. We conceal wiring inside walls, integrate in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, and tuck gear neatly into cabinets so the room stays elegant.

Can my home theater tie into the rest of my smart home?

Absolutely. A home theater is often the first step toward a fully connected Forest Hill home. We can tie it into:

Whole-home audio
Smart lighting scenes for movie night and hosting
Automated shades and climate control
Single-app or voice control
Security cameras and sensors

What brands or systems do you work with?

We work with a range of premium brands commonly used in luxury homes, selecting each component based on performance and compatibility with your automation goals. We’ll walk you through options during the design stage.

Can you upgrade my old or existing system?

Yes. Many Forest Hill-area homeowners come to us when equipment becomes outdated. We can retrofit new speakers, replace aging receivers, improve acoustics, and modernize your control system so everything runs from one simple interface — often reusing your existing wiring.

Do you offer service after installation?

What if I’m not tech-savvy?

Not a problem — most of our Forest Hill clients aren’t either. Every system is built for one-tap simplicity: movies, lighting, volume, and inputs on a single interface. Because our support team calls Forest Hill home too, help is a call away at (410) 809-2422.
