Jenn P. says, "We recently hired Matt to install and wire a new smart doorbell, which required running new wiring all the way from the panel in the basement to our front door. The job was no small task, but Matt handled it with professionalism and precision. During the process, we ran into a separate issue with the smart doorbell itself that caused the transmission to fail—not related to his wiring. Still, Matt made multiple trips back to troubleshoot and ensure everything was working properly. Matt even assisted us with making sure we had the right angle mount so the camera has a full view vs obstructed view by the porch wall. He truly went above and beyond to make sure the job was completed to the highest standard. Matt’s dedication, attention to detail, and commitment to quality are unmatched. Highly recommend him for any electrical work—especially if you want someone who stands by their work and sees it through from start to finish."See more
