Home Theater & AV Installation in Columbia, SC
Columbia is the heart of South Carolina — a capital city with a rich blend of culture, universities, and thriving neighborhoods. The housing stock here is as diverse as the community itself: you'll find charming 1920s bungalows in Shandon, mid-century ranches in Forest Acres, modern new-builds off Clemson Road, and stately homes lining Devine Street. Each style presents unique opportunities and considerations for home entertainment systems.
TekScene is based in nearby Chapin, just 25 minutes west of downtown Columbia. We know the Midlands well — from navigating afternoon traffic on I-26 to understanding the quirks of older Columbia homes with plaster walls and limited attic access. Whether you're converting a spare bedroom in Northeast Columbia into a dedicated theater room or mounting a projector and screen in a Forest Acres living room, we bring local knowledge and professional-grade results to every project.
Our Services in Columbia, SC

Projector & Screen Solutions
Projector mounting, screen installation, and image optimization tailored to your Columbia home. We work with fixed-frame, motorized, and ambient-light-rejecting screens — and know how to deal with bright South Carolina sunlight pouring through those large southern-facing windows.
Golf Simulator Setup

Recent Work in the Columbia, SC Area
Installations from around Columbia, SC. Each project is labeled with the city it was completed in.
Digital Signage Install — Central Bark
West Columbia, SC
Three displays spanning the full width of the reception area at Central Bark serve as a dynamic digital menu board — showing services, pricing, and photography for day care, boarding, grooming, and training. Content is managed centrally over the network, letting staff update the screens from anywhere without touching the hardware.
Golf Simulator Projectors — Repaired, Not Replaced
Irmo, SC
Not our build — a service call. The two Full Swing simulator bays at Anchor Lanes, a bowling center in Irmo, were designed, supplied and installed by others; we were called in because both projectors kept shutting themselves off mid-round, and everyone the manager had spoken to had told him to replace them. Both units were dropping into thermal protection. The air filters had already been cleaned, so the obvious cause was ruled out and the shutdowns carried on regardless — until opening the projectors up found the internal exhaust path in each packed with dust, leaving the heat nowhere to go however clean the intake was. We cleared both and put them back into service. No new hardware: a maintenance problem that had been mistaken for two failed projectors.
High-Performance Media Room
Chapin, SC
The owner had already chosen and bought the equipment, and brought us in to pull it together into a room that performed. Starting over was never the brief — the job was to get everything out of what was already there. We reconfigured the seating around his existing couches, replaced the 82-inch panel with a 98-inch TCL QM8L, and repositioned every speaker for the room and the seats. Two matching in-wall side surrounds went in, and every surround and Atmos run was routed through the walls and ceiling for a clean finish. We added a second subwoofer, and planned and installed the acoustic treatment: the red panels, the ceiling clouds, and four black panels in the front corners that are easy to miss against the stick-on foam, which was already in place and is the owner's own. The system was then set up and calibrated with Dirac Live Active Room Treatment. The result is a high-performance media room built almost entirely from equipment that was already in the house.
Whole-Home Ubiquiti Build
Lexington, SC
A new home build received a full Ubiquiti ecosystem install — UDM Pro Max with 20 TB of onboard storage, a 48-port PoE switch with DAC, and five wireless access points for seamless whole-home coverage. Seven outdoor cameras and a video doorbell with chime feed into Ubiquiti Protect for 24/7 local NVR recording. Ubiquiti Superlink completes the system with a siren and door sensors for integrated intrusion detection — all managed from a single app.
TV Mount — Stone Fireplace
Irmo, SC
Mounting above a stone fireplace demands a different approach — drilling into stone risks cracking and chipping, so every anchor was placed exclusively in the mortar joints. The TV is centered precisely within the space between the flanking built-ins, with Apple TV configured and ready to go.
TV Above Fireplace Install
Chapin, SC
A client relocating to a new home needed their large 75" TV properly installed above the fireplace. The job included removing the previous 40" TV and mount, relocating the electrical outlet to the ideal position, sourcing and installing a new heavy-duty wall mount, and completing the install with a full Apple TV setup and configuration.
