Get matched with top home automation specialists in Paw Creek, NC

"Bought security through ADT mainly for the automation options that come with the system. My spouse loves being able to turn on and off our lights in different areas of the house while we are gone. We travel often, so giving the illusion that we are home is a good deterrent."

"The office of a non-profit organization for which I provide volunteer IT services had outgrown it's current location and needed to move. They found ample space in the education building of a local Charlotte church. The three rooms contained a total of 7 electrical outlets on an unknown number of electrical circuits - not enough for 10 or more desktop computers, 3 laser printers and various and sundry other items. Additionally, we needed to run Ethernet lines from a central switch to 13 locations in these three rooms. And finally, we had to provide AT&T a route to get their fiber inside the building and to the middle room of the three where the gigabit switch was located. I received a quote from an established, well-respected electrical contractor for $4250 for the electrical work, and another quote from a custom cable installer for $4450 to run the Ethernet lines. When I requested a quote from the electrician to run for both the electrical work AND running the Ethernet lines, I didn't get any response. Rather than asking for more quotes from big, established contractors, I searched Angies List for firms which might not be quite as busy. Viva Electric seemed to be a new company with only a few reviews, all of which were positive. So I called and asked for a quote for both the electrical work and running the Ethernet lines. Jimmy Giler arrived exactly on time to survey the area. His quote arrived before it was promised. He quoted $5500 for the electrical and Ethernet work (thousands less than the combined quotes from the more established companies). Later, when AT&T was unable to provide Internet and telephone services because they couldn't get their fiber inside the building, Jimmy provided that access for them and ran another Ethernet line from the fiber location to the switch box location for another $300. He estimated that the work would take 5 days for two men. He himself showed up (along with his father, Wilson) to do the work - once again, exactly on time. We went over a detailed plan of where we wanted to outlets placed and where we wanted the Ethernet lines run. He positioned everything EXACTLY where we wanted it. Because of the construction of the building, he was able to run wires in the attic, but he was not able to run the wires behind the walls (due to the presence of purlins) so he ran the wires on the surface of the wall covered by a raceway. This was done very neatly and the brackets were screwed into the drywall using drywall anchors. At the end of the job, he used touch-up paint to cover any little nicks or imperfections. All the Ethernet connections were tested and labeled. All the electrical outlets were tested, and the dedicated laser printer outlets (single receptacle per circuit) were labeled. This job took two men five days to complete, and I know that the days were longer than eight hours! In my opinion, Jimmy Giler did an exceptional job. He is absolutely my electrician of choice from now on!"

"AMAZING! He's earned my trust. Shawn's incredibly knowledgeable, patient & kind. Not to mention easy on the eyes! Nice guy, for sure. It's clear he loves techy stuff & has an easy way of explaining things. I'm honestly shocked his prices aren't much more. His level of expertise coupled with his teaching skills are impressive. Here's what happened; I THOUGHT my computer was broken. I actually made a few lengthy (customer service calls first. I have no idea what button i pushed or didn't push when my computer starting going crazy! It seemed like 20 - 40 new tabs opened up simultaneously... one immediately following the next! I panicked & pushed something. I think i pulled a few cords! The screen turned black, then flashed, now random letters & possibly numbers started typing themselves out! I really don't know, it happened so fast. The moment I saw a blue screen, i unplugged it! I called some customer service #, was on & off hold for literally hours, transferred to this one & that one. The tech.'s were all nice enough although hard to understand. I was in tears! After 2 separate calls & hours on the phone, I gave up. Honestly, I wanted to throw it all out & start over. I was talking to my friend about this nightmare. She told me about "Shawn Moore" of "Shawn's Wholesome Store." She really went on & on about him. I called him right then & there. I was pleasantly surprised how many questions Shawn asked. Usually they don't want to discuss anything until they're on the clock. He has a calming, empathetic confidence about him. Now the big question, is this going to brank the bank? I agreed to an inperson diagnostic test. Shawn arrived early to our appt. dressed in khaki's (not jeans). Our appointment went better than I could have hoped for! He explained a few things then asked if I was interested in having a training session with him. I very much appreciate anyone who asks first instead of charging me for a service that I didn't know I was getting. I thought i needed my computer 🖥 to be replaced. In the end, Shawn was able to recover all of my files, saved my photos & fixed my computer. Since then, I've had 4 different remote sessions with him. "I bought a package of 6 training sessions." I feel more confident everyday to work with my computer & phone. Oh, while he was here, he noticed my cell phone screen was smashed. I thought I had to replace that too. Nope! He fixed that too."

"Bob was such a pleasure to have working on my project . He was efficient and did a great job. I love my new install. Good Luck Bob!!"
