Derek was fantastic to work with! He’s incredibly responsive, punctual, and clearly takes pride in his work. He installed mesh routers throughout our home and set up an outdoor security system, both of which work perfectly. He even went above and beyond by reprogramming our existing Nest thermostats and walking me through how to use everything. We’re thrilled with the results and would highly recommend Derek to anyone!

I am so glad I found Derek! I was at my wits end on how to protect my 4-plex property with surveillance on a budget and Derek with his wealth of knowledge saved me so much time and more importantly money. I explained my exact needs and concners and he was able to provide a solution for everything, was on time and even went out of his way to get another product when the one I bought was faulty! I can't wait to work with him again

Not a large job but more troubleshooting involved than selling and installation. Derek stepped up immediately where other vendors passed immediately on my service request.
Appreciated his willingness to see the project thru completion with promptness, knowledge and professionalism.
As a result, I intend to spread word of his services and pricing around the community. Thank you Derek!

iSmart Solutions upgraded my network, installed cameras, and enhanced my audio with Sonos. Derek is an honest guy with fair pricing; he showed up when he's supposed to and got the job done. Thank you for great service.
