He al- ways wanted my opinion on what he was thinking about doing. I really enjoyed working with Doug and it turned into a beautiful theater room.” What impressed the couple more than the end result of their space was the high level of customer service provided by both Phantom Theater & Sound and Clayton Douglas Homes. “He (Doug) was at our house almost every day and that spoke volumes to the quality of work that was being done.

Fabulous work and excellent customer service is what you’ll find when working with both Phantom Theater & Sound and Clayton Douglas Homes. Just ask Danny and Donelle, who have recom-mended both companies to numerous friends and family members.

Homeowners Donelle and Danny built the home of their dreams in September 2003. The main floor and upstairs of the home were perfect, but something was missing – a finished base-ment for entertaining.

The couple was no stranger to the high quality service pro-vided by Phantom Theater & Sound, having worked with them on the product selection, installation, and maintenance of the whole house speaker system that runs throughout the upper levels and pool area of their home and is controlled via iPad and iPhone.

“It really started with us looking for a nice sound system, but my wife didn’t want big speakers in the living room. We were looking for a place that could not only give us the sound qual-ity, but the look we wanted as well. We came across Phantom Theater & Sound and visited their showroom,” says Danny. “They gave us a nice demonstration and we eventually agreed to work with them for two reasons. One, they were very responsive af-ter we had shown interest, and two, we were impressed by their strong customer service.

“We really liked the approach of being able to have everything hidden, but still have the same volume and experience that you would have from a large speaker system sitting in front of your TV.”

The couple turned to Phantom Theater & Sound again when they decided to build a theater room in their basement. “We want-ed to create a true theater room with a few rows of seating. We really wanted an experience different than what we had upstairs,” explains Danny.

This time the couple not only asked Phantom Theater & Sound for advice on what equipment to purchase, but also to recommend a general contractor. Joel Flaugher, president at Phantom Theater & Sound, didn’t hesitate to recommend local custom builder Doug Bryant with Clayton Douglas Homes.

“We recently had our basement completed with a new theater room, kitchen, billiards room and sitting area with fireplace. Not only did the work exceed our expectations, the oversight by Doug himself was very impressive. He was at our house every day during the time it took to complete the basement and oversaw the entire process. He ensured the workers were on time, and moved the project along in a timely manner. Doug was very professional at all times, provided ideas to enhance the project, quoted it fairly, and abided by the agreement. We would highly recommend

Doug and his crew for any project.”
