"Hired this company to do several things at a mobile home for my boys. It cost $2800. Way overpriced. They used used supplies, got paint all over the floor. I will be honest the quality and service I got done looked like a bunch of fifth graders came in and did the work. The existing trim that was on the doors they painted green the same color of the walls. You don?t paint trim when you?re not told to. The trim above the closet door was placed too high. Now there?s a gap in the wall that I paid to have covered up."

Owner-operated. No subs. Cost is determined by job or hourly rate. May contact by phone or through email.

"Watts came out twice, once to estimate and once to run the new cables. While he was working up the estimate, he managed to get the lights back on in the garage. When he came back, he drilled through the floor, ran a new cable, and installed a 240V outlet and new 240V breaker. He had estimated the job conservatively and so we were relieved that running the line cost only $850 instead of $1500. The estimate wasn't free, but that was okay. He was here quite some time messing with stuff, so I'm glad he got paid for the effort. Will definitely call him for future work."

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts

A study from the University of North Carolina found that security system signs were one of the top ten deterrents for burglars when choosing a target, so they do have some effect. However, you can get into legal trouble for putting up fake signage, so it’s best only to put up signs when you have the alarms to back them up.

Whether a security system or security cameras is a better choice for you depends on your needs and preferred comfort level. A security system can cost more depending on the features you choose, but it’s a more proactive and protective approach to home security by alerting you and authorities of any emergencies. Using a security camera system is a more reactive approach because while you can monitor the camera footage, it does not alert the proper authorities for you.

With the popularity of DIY security cameras and video surveillance systems, it’s important to understand the benefits and potential drawbacks to decide if it’s the right choice for you. Advantages and disadvantages include:

Pros

  • Video footage readily available

  • Reduced home insurance

  • Save on labor costs by installing security cameras yourself

  • Wireless systems are easy to move and set up

  • Monitor from your smartphone

  • Avoid false alarms

Cons

  • Features may be vulnerable to hackers

  • No direct link to authorities

  • Risk of installing the system improperly, reducing its effectiveness

DIY is possible for wireless cameras, but professionals ensure optimal angles, security integration, and network stability.

The biggest downside to a wireless security camera is that it's 100% reliant on Wi-Fi to capture footage at your home. Even when Wi-Fi is reliable, the range for wireless cameras may only be 200 feet or less. Drywall, brick, and other materials in your home can be enough to make your signal lag.
