Vincent (the owner) provided a quotation quickly and with reasonable pricing. During the 1+ day installation, Vincent and his team were very professional and accommodating to our requests. For example, post-installation we realized we wanted some changes to the front switch configuration and Vincent came back within a few days to perform the work at a nominal charge for additional labor.We hit one minor snag with the pathway lights - i.e. the wrong lights were installed but Vincent apologized and replaced them with the correct ones at the same time he changed the front switch. Overall, we highly recommend BOLD and would use them again.

Went ok but service was way too expensive and I had to call back for additional service

The owner of the business arrived to look at our equipment (which was mostly packed in boxes still) and give us an estimate. He advised that, even though we had a 7-channel system, our room was too small to accommodate it. We decided not to use all the channels & went with a 5-channel system. We agreed. He did not have a chance to go through all the equipment but still gave us an estimate based on our telling him that we had all the necessary equipment, including speaker wiring, etc. The cost was essentially for labor only. After a second walk-through, we decided we should order a mini-system through him to supplement some of our speakers which were too powerful and old for this house's new dimensions. He put a clause in the contract that if we were missing any equipment, they would provide it (something we'd have to pay for, of course). He arrived on time with two workers who did 99% of the work. He instructed them and left them. They finished the work in a timely manner, but the placement of the front speakers is ridiculously low to the ground. Even with our low sofas, I am now limited as to where I can place furniture in the room because the front speakers lowest point are only about a foot & a half from the floor. Additionally, we brought high-end Monster speaker wire with us from our old house, but they chose instead to install their standard speaker wire (which we were billed for). We had them come back to change out the less expensive wire for our pre-owned wire (which took some convincing because, thinking as an electrician, the owner said we weren't going to push more amps like our pre-owned wires can so our high end wires were unnecessary). Additionally, we realized after the fact that the mini system wasn't so mini: it was a 7-channel system that he sold us, even though we didn't need all the equipment in it; he initially told us a 7-channel system was too much. When posed with the question as to why we bought a 7-channel system when we can't use 7 channels in the first place, I was told we paid a lot less for the system than we would have if we had paid ala carte for the pieces we needed. There was also another issue: my husband confirmed with the business owner that he would program 2 universal remote controls that we have. We agreed to a price even after he looked at the remotes. After installing the 2 systems, he informed us that he was unfamiliar with the remote controls and even if he knew how to program them, the price he quoted was too low. This was the worst part - we had our theater systems up & running but no way to control it all. Being told this at the 11th hour was disconcerting. When I spoke to the owner via phone, I tried to get the him to program the cable remotes to control as many components as possible, he told me he didn't know how to do it. I was astonished. I asked his workers to do it and they did. I found later that programming the receiver's remote myself after they had gone was the simplest solution (and I'm not an electrician). Finally - they completed their work without installing our Playstation 2 or iPod docks in the bedroom and family room which we originally discussed in our walkthroughs. They did come back to complete that, but I was left unsatisfied. After a few weeks, we had a power outage and the plasma TV programming was wiped. I called the owner of the business hoping he or his workers could walk me through reprogramming it. He told me he'd have his main worker who installed the system call me back. When he did, I missed the call. He left a message. I called him back & got his voicemail. I left a message but never got a call back. Fortunately, I was able to figure it out myself, no thanks to them. The overall feeling I got was that, as licensed electricians, they know their craft; however, I would hire a company more geared towards theater systems if you have high end equipment (their knowledge in this arena was limited at best and not at all what we expected after dealing with an excellent home theater installation company in our previous state.)

Vincent came to the house and fixed the switches, gave me an estimate on new breakers. He set a date for the service and they arrived on time and replaced the old breakers, methodically identified the breaker for each area, and completely cleaned up.

I like how they are very responsive. Their work is very high quality.

They were prompt and they did good work.

They are very prompt. He is very honest and I have not had any problems with the work he has done. He knows the codes and keeps an apartment building I own up to code. He is very polite. They put a silk hanging light in my living room too. He sent over 2 gentlemen to get in the attic to do what they needed to do and they did this about 2-3 months ago. I found him through a lighting company. I have been doing business with him for several years. His workers are very polite too.

I thought they were really good. The guy came and called ahead showed up early and had all of his tools readily available and he was very professional. He gave me a quote right up front and that was what I paid. They did the job in the time they said it was going to take. They wore booties while they were in my home. They were the most professional of any contractor I have worked with and when I need electrical work, I will call them again in the future. I highly recommend them.

He gave an estimate one day, and completed the work the next. The job involved hooking up a pool cleaning device that has different voltage than the timer that was already installed for the pump. He explained options, and had a better solution than the one I had in mind. The work was done quickly, and is working perfectly.

They put in a lot of hours, it was a lot of work. I feel that their prices were a little high but I'm still getting use to New Jersey pricing. I think their services were of good quality.
