I just wanted to take a moment, to call out the gentleman from Automated Control by Design, who were responsive, timely, courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and follow up. I would hire them again and recommend them to friends and colleagues anytime.
Example: my gate lock froze up a month or more after the job was completed due to the weather. They came back when they said they would, and diagnosed the problem in minutes. Hire them.
