Joe was a pleasure to work with and a true professional. He installed two Nest Floodlight cameras, a Nest thermostat, and a wired Nest doorbell for me. Even when faced with a difficult wiring route from the garage to the front door, he found a creative solution by relocating the transformer to make it work. Joe is clearly dedicated to his craft—he even worked until midnight to ensure everything was perfect. To top it off, he went above and beyond by painting my front window frame free of charge. I’ll definitely be hiring him again for future projects!

Joseph went above and beyond in his service to our family. From maximizing our WiFi to re-wiring our sound system...and even re-mounted a TV that a previous vendor failed to properly installed. Great attitude, fair price and quick service. We could not be happier.

The gentleman who ones this business is a gem, he provided me so much insight and in the end saved me hundreds if not thousands of dollars to fix my Panasonic VSX-LX SERIES receiver issues. I’ll enlist his services if there is a next time, that’s for certain.
