"Great company to work with!"

"Extremely helpful and the quality and speed of his work was exceptional."

"Buyer beware!!! I have never had such a nightmare with this company. Save your money and your sanity. They installed a patio cover for me. It leaked immediately. This was two years ago. For the past two years, they have been out at least 7 or 8 times claiming to "fix" the leaks. The leaks were not normal patio leaks by the way. The leaking has cause 3 of the 4 lights installed in the patio to fail. Every time they come, it's never fixed. The leaks keep getting worse. They never follow up with me, I always have to call them. They do not manage their sub contractors at all. This latest round started just before Christmas 2021, it's now been three months, four visits later. They took flashing off, said they were going to let it dry out and put it back. I didn't hear from them for two weeks, I noticed rain on the weather , I called Trig who had to send them back out to put the flashing back on. They sent some guy to do some more drastic sealing or something on my roof, they claimed it was done.....see attached photos of how they left my roof claiming it was done. Also, never followed back up with me on a light they need to replace which is still burned out and filled with water from rains. Save yourself the headache please!!! This still isn't resolved. I have filed a BBB compliant to try and help me resolve."

"SES is the best company you can think of when it comes to remodeling your house. I finished my project 6 months ago and the communication was great. Maiia from the office kept on following up with every question we had. We had the SES app that we communicated easier and saw pictures of our project throughout the process. We live half of the year in Russia and due to COVID we couldn't come back so it took a while until we were able to see how it came out. Job was done properly, they cleaned the house when they finished and it was a pleasure to do business with them."

"Tal Mechaly was extremely useful when we hired him and his people to design and rebuild our new kitchen and laundry room. Tal helped us select the new stunning marble slab for the new island that he implemented in the design and the gorgeous chandelier above it because the island that he designed for us included table as well. Tal Mechaly was amazing at selecting all the paint colors combinations and with his design… he was able to pull it all together as one piece of art kitchen. Tal Mechaly was very easygoing person to work with, with excellent creativity skills and his thinking outside of the box ability was beyond believes."

"This is the second time we've used Bryden Electrical for an electrical wiring job in our vintage home. Andre, our electrical engineer, exceeded expectations. He is the best electrician bar none, we have ever worked with. The job was done in good time and the rate was extremely fair. This company is superb."

"They are fine. Their price is very good and the hardware is holding up very well."

"We hired AHI to remodel 1 bathroom, paint our interior (with some drywall repair), and install recessed lighting in our home. We began work in early April with an anticipated end date of mid June. The cost of the work was in the middle of the quotes we received. Our experience has been horrible and ended in us ending our contract with AHI and having to hire our own professionals to finish the job as of mid- August when it was still incomplete. -They are not good at communicating. I often would have less than 48 hours notice to get them a piece or material needed or less than a few hours notice that some work was beginning or we needed to come meet them. We had to constantly follow up for updates about the schedule and project. -The first paint crew did not prep at all and painted/ texture sprayed over our outlets, HVAC vents, light switches. They left large drips of paint in multiple locations and got paint/ texture splatter on our flat ceilings, on our windows, and all over our subfloor. The project manager from AHI did not oversee the project an the full home was done before he looked at it. He and foreman agreed the quality was not acceptable and took over a month to schedule a new crew. This crew was better but delayed the project significantly. -Our home was left with 1st floor doors and windows open overnight on multiple occasions. We do not live at the property at the moment but our belongings are there and though we pointed this out to the project manager it happened again. -The crews sent were not managed well- it felt like we got below handyman level quality of work in many areas. In addition to the paint crew they sent someone to paint our bathroom baseboards and he painted all over the wall. The electrician left screws and debris all over brand new wood floors and managed to scratch them plus scratch our new marble in the shower. -They drank beers from our fridge multiple times and left trash all over our home and in front of the house overnight/ for multiple days. We ended the contract with them completely unsatisfied but amicably coming to a financial agreement that settled it. I would strongly recommend that you do not hire AHI unless you are ready to manage the project yourself and be there to supervise their subcontractors as the work is done."

"I highly recommend Audio Pro Direct and Michael B. Background: I had an old circa 90s wired alarm system in my single-family house. This alarm system was hard-wired to the landline phone for the purpose of making automatic outgoing calls to a monitoring station in the event that the alarm went off. I wanted to upgrade the system. I did my research using Consumer Reports and others and decided on Ring. I already had an outdoor Ring camera. Ring also has an upgrade path, allowing you to reuse existing wired sensor zones by connecting them to their retrofit kit. This was the deal-clincher, as many of my wired sensor zones are for alarm window screens -- special window screens that trigger the alarm when removed or cut. I did a search for independent low-voltage electricians who would feel comfortable doing the retrofit and the rest of the Ring alarm installation: the base station, the motion detectors, a few new wireless sensors, and a few new glass break sensors. Mostly the retrofit, as Ring components are in fact easy to install by consumers with basic handyman and computer app skills. The retrofit was beyond my capabilities. Surprisingly, the search (here on Yelp and on other sites) did not turn up many results. Most did not respond to my inquiries. Many/most security businesses will only deal with one or two security system vendors. Almost no one had experience with Ring. Audio Pro Direct responded quickly. I spoke with Michael the principal and described what I needed. He had experience with the Ring retrofit kit. I sent them a detailed list of components I needed installed. They sent me back a proposal. The whole thing was very professional, as you would expect from a contractor, from start to finish. Michael came out and got a first-hand look at the existing system. The day of the install went very well. I should note that it is super important as the client to know how you want things done, such as where to mount/install components. Most details were discussed in advance. I communicated a few details and they did as I asked. There were a few outstanding items that needed to be fixed (dead landline phone line and placement of a few sensors), and Michael's installer technician came back a few days later and took care of these."
