NY Galaxy General Contracting, Inc.New York Skylight Installers are terrific! They get back to you right away, and their team members know what they're doing. After a branch shattered my ten-year-old skylight, Chris and Andy did a superb job replacing the sash and removing the glass. They did an incredible job as well with...
New York Skylight InstallersTheir installation process is fast and the wifi and security systems are all good! Thank you.
Visually SoundExcellent service. The owner Chuck addressed an issue immediately after the roof was installed. Would highly recommend. Work was performed in Jersey City.
1-Call Restore, LLCOverall very well. Because we are located in NYC and had the awnings shipped to Manhattan, I had to coordinated hiring a local company to install the awnings...I would of preferred to use an installer from RA but they are based in Florida.

"Andrew, the owner of Sounds Big Productions, is an incredibly skilled audio designer and engineer. The sound system in our church’s sanctuary had started having recurring feedback and crackling. Andrew came in, went straight to work troubleshooting the problem (which wasn’t easy because we have a large sanctuary with extensive wiring). But he found the problem quickly, solved it, and the sound system sounds better than it has in years. Also, Andrew is a joy to work with. He is positive and friendly."

The average cost of a home security system is about $700, ranging from $280 to $1,150. Costs to consider include equipment, surveillance fees, and other additional features. Cost factors that determine your system’s price include the type of security system, materials, labor, activation fees, monthly fees, and permits. Additional features and upgrades may include:
Video surveillance monitoring: $40–$65 per month
Smart home locks: $150
Smart home lighting: $15–$90
Smart smoke, fire, and carbon monoxide alarms: $35–$100
Smart thermostat: $130–$500
Yes, you should get a quote or an estimate from an electrician. Most electricians offer free estimates or quotes. When getting quotes, do your research and verify each electrician’s license. Get quotes from three different electricians to compare. If the prices or items listed appear different on the quotes, ask the electrician to clarify. Learning as much as you can about the electrical work you want done will help you get the most accurate estimate.
Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.
An accredited, licensed smart home specialist should install your home automation system. For example, a qualified smart home specialist will belong to an organization like the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association. Licenses for qualified technicians require the technician to demonstrate experience and pass state testing. If you’re ready to install a home automation system, consult multiple technicians in your area to compare services and prices and find the best fit for your job.
The average cost of a home automation system is around $950, but typically ranges from $200 to $1,700, depending on the brand, system features, system size, home size, and location. The highest-end home automation systems can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $150,000, including smart appliances like refrigerators, dishwashers, and ovens that require installing extensive wiring. Any subscriptions for maintenance services will also impact the cost of a home automation system.
