"My experience with this company from the 1st phone call to the installation to the service after the job was
completed has been great. They did a good job of communicating with us along the way and letting us know what to expect.
Our salesperson was very knowledgeable and helpful. We were very impressed that the owner of the company sent us a card with his contact information and encouraged us to call him if we had any questions or concerns. The installation crew showed up on time and finished the entire job in one day. They kept things neat and did a good job of answering my 1,000 questions I had
for them during the installation. A special thanks to Mr. Trey, who went out of his way during the installation of the solar panels to make me feel comfortable. When I called him with questions about how the waterproofing worked, he stopped the entire job and brought me up on the roof to show me how the special roof brackets keep things from leaking. We have just received our first electric bill and it was significantly lower than the same bill last year. We would recommend this company.

"Premier Entry Systems was quick to respond to my request for an initial quote for the work. I was impressed by their reviews on Angie's List and they exceeded my expectations. The gentlemen who installed the garage openers and gate opener were professional and helped us to understand how to operate both. When the solar panel failed to generate enough power to operate the gate and the clickers failed (yes we tried to reset), they were quick to fix the situation. I was truly impressed with their level of professionalism and courtesy. I would not hesitate to use them in future and would highly recommend them.
