I found Allen Automative Repair on Angie's list and decided to give it a try. They gave me an appointment two days out and had to get my car towed to them. They diagnosed the problem to be corrosion on the battery terminals; cleaned it, checked alternator to make sure it was ok - all this for $47. I'd recommend them to everyone for their honesty and professionalism.

I was interested in his hassle free services because of his move-up specials and my friend used his services and had success. I told him on a Friday in December 2010 what we were looking for and we signed paperwork to build a home on Sunday (3 day process). We had been looking for a home for over 4 years. This was the easiest process that I have ever experienced. He uses technology and has established relationships with builders. This makes the process much easier because he know what is going on in the new home sales. Since we had not sold our existing home he also put our home on the market in March and sold in July. I was very pleased considering the tough market. Well what is even more amazing about this story is that we received a check for over $8K for the return of commission for purchasing and then we were charged 1.0% for the sale of our home. FREE MOVE-UP! Mike and his wife and very honest, trustworthy, and they will stand beside you during the most difficult negotiations and they provide top of the line services. They made our home buying process worth the long wait. I have a great home...thanks to Mike and Jenee. I am very thankful and grateful for his top of line service. He has the tools, key relationships, skills, and knowledge. I would not want to go through this process without Mike and Jenee on our team. Our realtor knowledge made a huge difference in our life. I would definitely recommend their services even without the commission specials.

Tx befuddles me, especially the weather. I contacted Ken through Angie's List. He came to my home, listened to my concerns and made suggestions that fit my budget and goals. He identified all plants on my property, pointed out poison ivy and cost-effective means to treat it. Needless to say, Ken knows his business, is very personable, and really listens. He also provides on-the-mark suggestions. Which leads me to Charlie, who with another guy (forgive me, I don't recall his name) came to check my sprinkler system and set up. Charlie was wonderful, immediately identified problem sprinkler heads and flow problems and pipe leaks, asking prior which I wanted serviced. I said all and was really amazed that the total cost was so low. They repaired a major water leak, replaced sprinkler heads, repositioned another head and ensured all systems covered appropriate areas and that the automated system was set up properly. Everyone was very professional, courteous and kind."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/plano/village-green-reviews-2181867.htm"},"position":9}]}

Called Heads up for sprinkler review and repair as well as updating our controller to a Rachio automated controller which I can run from anywhere with my cell phone. Found a few sprinkler head issues which were repaired as well as repairing an underground broken pipe. Responsive and...
The only downside was the scheduling that occurred yesterday. The person on the phone was very nice and helpful and took note of our schedule needs, and, we believe, conveyed this to dispatch. Dispatch made an automated phone call saying we were scheduled directly in a period for which we...
Unfortunately, when it comes to needing an electrician, I will NOT need Home Advisor again. Brooks Electrical did a fantastic job, was very professional and price was very reasonable.

"I regret ever choosing SafeStreets. The whole process was frustrating from the start. The technician who came to install the system was late, didn’t answer my questions properly, and left my house a mess. When I reached out to customer service, I was put on hold for over an hour, only to get a half-baked answer. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere."

FAQs for home automation service projects in Tool, TX
The difference between smart home and home automation technology is that home automation is a more comprehensive home control system. It requires more expertise and work to install and set up, but homeowners have greater control over the various areas and functions in the home via their smartphone. Smart home technology is generally easier to install and set up. But it typically needs an internet connection to work as intended, which can limit functionality if there’s a disruption in internet service.
Home automation systems offer a wide range of automation products and services. Some of the most popular options include:
Cameras: $35–$350
Door and window sensors: $20–$100
Doorbells: $100–$350
Locks: $150–$400
Garage door openers: $150–$500
Lighting: $20–$100
Speakers: $30–$300
Outlets and plugs: $20–$100
Thermostats: $150–$300
Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors: $50–$150
Smart home hubs: $200–$900
Blinds: $50–$75
Appliances: $50–$3,000
Vacuums: $200–$1,200
Lawn systems: $80–$300
Wi-Fi and Mesh systems: $200–$500
Water monitoring: $100–$1,000
Home automation can be worth it if you’re looking for ways to make everyday home operations more convenient and controllable from a single hub integrated with your smartphone. You can select the different features and services you want to automate, ranging from exterior cameras to thermostats, to make this investment worthwhile by only installing services that are relevant to your household’s lifestyle. Plus, home automation can improve home security and eliminate daily inconveniences.
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.
