Derek and his team at DW Surveillance Solutions were absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. They take pride in their work and did not settle for anything less than perfection. Their quick response to their commitment to their craft, makes them exactly what you are looking for in a contractor. They are not there to up charge you, but rather to deliver an end result which I thought was infeasible given the complexity of the wiring job. They made a single hole in the closet (which they patched) and besides that did not make any extra holes for any of the 8 total ethernet runs which was at least 4 fewer than any other contractor I got quotes from (and were very reasonable priced compared to others). Derek and his team stayed until midnight and came back on the next day on their day off to finish a challenging wiring run which is a testament to their resolve and customer first mentality. I would hire them in a heartbeat and am recommending them to all my friends for their ethernet and surveillance needs.

Derek and his team are truly professionals. They know what they are doing. Above that, they are good people, friendly, and boy, are they hard workers. They won’t leave until the job is finished and the site is clean. If someone can run cables through impossible spots, Derek and his team are the ones. Highly recommended.
