"Lincoln & Team were communicative from start to finish, very organized and professional. Most importantly they were not disruptive to my work from home environment. I have previously had not so good experiences with two different surveillance installation vendors which had me very skeptical to trust a third. However, from the very first call returned by Modern Security & Technology Solutions (MS & TS), I could tell this had the potential to be a pleasant experience. Lincoln listened to my concerns, offered an effective preliminary solution until the team was able to assess the site in person. Needless to say, the over-the-phone troubleshooting was spot on. Once on location, as an aside he noticed my internet connection was not running at the gigabit speed I was paying the provider for so suggested the proper switch with ample ports to enable gigabit speed to all devices on my home network. If you are on the fence about home networking or security installation, look no further, I'm confident you'll be very satisfied with Modern Security & Techonolgy Solutions."

"He said to me, don't focus on the wiring just watch the TV instead. I waited three days later, went to Home Depot and purchase a white stick post and just layed it over the wirer because he nailed and tacked everything to the wall. Its working out, that's how it's going."

"We had LV electric come out and take a look at a lighting issue in a part of our home.  They came out and suggested we change out our panel box as it was dated.  They were not pushy and their price was VERY reasonable for the amount of work they did.  They also put in recessed lighting on another date and did a flawless job.  Vincent was very responsive when we had a last minute lighting issue.  He squeezed us into his busy schedule and made us a priority.  This company is very honest and upfront.  Vincent takes the time to explain the process and we are glad to know we have a fair and honest company we can call on for our next project.

Home Automation questions, answered by experts

Avoid using a home equity loan for non-essential or short-term expenses like vacations, luxury purchases, or temporary financial fixes. It’s best to reserve home equity loans for long-term investments, such as home improvements, that can add value to your property or financial position.

Yes, staging a home really works and can help your home sell faster, potentially for a higher price than if you did not use a home staging service. According to the National Association of Realtors, 48% of seller’s agents reported home staging decreased a home’s time on the market. 

Plus, 20% of buyer’s and seller’s agents claimed home staging increased home sale prices by 1% to 5%. Although decluttering and cleaning help a home sell, staging can take your home’s curb appeal to the next level, helping to expedite the process and increase your profit.

Yes, removing a fireplace can decrease your home's value, as it is a sought-after feature for many buyers. The potential loss in value is estimated to be between $1,000 and $5,000. The impact can vary by market and climate; for example, a fireplace is more valued in colder regions like Minnesota than in warmer areas like Florida.

However, if a fireplace is in poor condition and needs extensive repairs, removing it might be a reasonable option. When deciding, weigh the benefits of removal (more floor space, less maintenance, reduced energy loss) against the potential decrease in home value. If you plan to sell soon, it is generally advised not to remove it.

In most cases, staging a home is expensive but worth every penny. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), 81% of agents representing buyers stated that staging made a positive impact on the buyer’s perception of the house and made it easier to visualize it as a home. The value of your home—which is to say the amount buyers are willing to spend—is based on perception alone and not the inherent value of the land or structure. Therefore, improving the appeal of your home through staging is likely to make your home more enticing during a home sale.

A fireplace can increase a home's value by as much as 12%, with some reports indicating that homes with fireplaces list for around 13% more than the median sale price. Fireplaces are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, adding a charm that many homebuyers find desirable. The actual return on investment depends on the fireplace's size, type, and material.

However, a fireplace can detract from a property's value if it is unusable, not up to code, or in need of immediate repairs. The type of fireplace also matters; custom electric fireplaces and inserts can add value, while freestanding units that can be removed have less impact.
