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.

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
After reading your response to my response I hope you found someone to find the wires in your attic and get your TV working
After all I'm only an amateur

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!

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.

Antenna & Tower Removal

For such a huge antenna, Christopher and his assistant (whose name I didn't get, sadly) took it down in what seemed a flash. Not only that, but they cleaned up nicely and were extremely pleasant to deal with.

Antenna hero!

Chris (Dr. Antenna) saved my father from a bad situation: my father had hired another prominent Toronto antenna man to install an antenna at his house. This other fellow dropped off the parts for the antenna and took $450 from my father but NEVER showed up to install it, citing family emergencies (brother in hospital in buffalo... Amongst other things). After weeks of chasing other fellow, I got involved and called Chris to take over. Chris saved the situation: he showed up the same day and gave my father a quote to install the antenna. He came back within the week, as promised, and had the whole thing installed within hours. He charged a fair price for install and stayed in contact with me the whole time (via text). I am so thankful for Chris, as are my parents! After our experiences with other companies, I highly recommend Chris over anyone else in the GTA.

Just glad I could help sorry about your other experience with the other installer I wish we could name him. He did it the same thing to another client a few weeks ago. He'll get what's coming to him eventually. Thanks

More about Dr. Antenna

Can you believe Doctor Antenna has been around for fifteen years? I can't!
What I can believe is I must be doing something right. This year alone I have had at least seven people re use my service on the new houses they purchased. I can't even begin to count how many people have referred me to their friends and families.
***
When you call Doctor Antenna, I am proud to admit that you deal with me and only me. It's still a small company and I believe it's strength is derived from it's person-ability. As my ninety-two year old dad always said: "I'm the Chief Cook and Bottle Washer".
***
Another thing that surprises me every day is that so many people call me asking me to fix an antenna that was installed by someone else....why aren't they getting the original person to fix their own work? My take on that is that the other installer is not big on the after sales service, or they simply aren't in the Antenna Installation business any more!
***
At Doctor Antenna we (I) install, guarantee and fix my own work and apparently other people's work as well!!! I'll even go as far as giving you a guarantee on my repairs of other people's work! If I am putting my company's reputation on the line to fix other's mistakes, heck, I'll give you that guarantee and stand by my work.
***
And don't forget about Doctor Antenna's other services. We have been safely removing old TV Antenna Towers from both residential and commercial properties for ten years. Those old, out of date satellites that litter almost everyone's house, the huge old black satellite dishes that you find in peoples back yards and on top of old sports bars, never to be used again are all removed by Doctor Antenna.
​​***
More recently, Doctor Antenna has a new website called "starlinkinstallationtoronto.com" as our official site for Starlink Satellite Internet Installations.
In closing, Doctor Antenna will provide you with the best quality, insured, safe install your dollar can buy.

As I have said all along...."Tune Into the Logical Solution", let me be the next Doctor that makes a house call to your home.

Thank you again for your patronage to Doctor Antenna,
***
Christopher MacDonald, Founder, President and CEO​
