I have a surround sound system that needs to be installed. Would like to wire the speakers around the room. Does anyone have any recommendations for someone who can run the appropriately place the speakers, run the wires, and patch the drywall? Any idea of cost?

Cost will (obviously) depend on the number of speakers, the layout of the room, etc. Certainly over $300. Of course, it's hard to get someone to come out and do anything for less than $300.

It is also possible to buy flat speaker wire that an be painted over (from more ofa DIY perspective):

If your media room is over a basement without a finished ceiling the job shouldn't be that expensive.
