In an odd sort of way, it turned out my first choice wasn't my best choice!…read more I came across the listing and thought "OK - it's a little corny name, 'Those Tech Guys'" but honestly, if you hang around tech guys at all, you get it. I am far from a professional when it comes to IT installations, but I know enough to be dangerous. And after getting quotes to install ethernet in my 1980s circa home, one never wired for ethernet, one that just went through a significant renovation where I, in my supreme wisdom said "WiFi is great, now! Who need hardwires anymore?" was now faced with retrofitting several rooms and office with ethernet and said, this guy over here, the independent with a normal sounding company name, yeah - lets go with him! Mistake!! After schedule, and reschedule, and delays, and reschedule, we got nowhere with contractor number one. Meanwhile, Roberto and Peter at Those Tech Guys had patiently followed up several times, continued to be pleasant and professional, and AFTER I said no thank you I am going to go with someone else! So I made the dreaded call back - "So remember when I said if things change . . . " Peter was quick to jump on the phone, and walk me through things at every step. Gave me a highly competitive bid, and an install time of only a few days from when I called. They cam onsite, were clean courteous, and efficient. They played with my dog (I mean who doesn't love a bowling ball Staffy Bull Terrier mix?) and made light work of the install, and the final cost (with tip!) was even below the initial quote. This was made possible as Peter walked my home and together we found opportunities to do things more quickly, and save a few dollars along the way. In the end, I didn't choose Those Tech Guys first, but you should. No regrets here, other than I should have picked them first!

He starts programming my keys and then comes and gets me because the door latch broke after he used the new key, ( I took my car in just a couple of days ago to a mechanic to have a full check up and he used our key and had no problem.) I come out and he had taken my door apart and told me which part he broke and said he would charge me $238 for labor to install the new part. Also, I would have to go to the car dealership and buy said part. So he broke my door and gave me a quote on how much it to cost to install. After I came home we called and spoke to him again and he said he didn't break it and that it is our responsibility to fix it. But that he can still install the new part for $238. He gave me no warning when I went in there that this is something that could happen. If he had told me that I would've said thank you for your time and I would've left the store. I left a message with the store manager but have yet to hear back from him.

Adding two more stars but there's a quick story behind the change. I again called the offshore call…read morecenter--who admitted they had no way to transfer me to a supervisor "in the States" so I asked for corporate headquarters phone number. Of course I was given the wrong number which was also the wrong state. A quick search gave me the actual corporate headquarters office in Florida. Called the phone and got myself in the right queue. The call was answered by lady in help center support--customer relations. What does it say about any U.S. based company that they only way to get real customer service IS TO CALL THE US-BASED CUSTOMER RELATIONS DEPARTMENT? A very sad commentary on how low these companies place quality customer service below profits. But the lady did expedite the return of the long lost install tech who finished the job the following week. And thanks to her I got a call from an extremely friendly and helpful tech support guy named Anthony who walked me through the basic features and use of our new security system even though we were over an hour on the phone. Anthony requested that I fill out the survey on him which I'd get after our phone call. Still waiting, Anthony. I mentioned the missing survey to customer relations lady and got no response. But she did make two follow up calls to verify that both tech support and the equipment install had been done. That was nice. So if you're reading this review, Anthony, I'd give ADT five stars if all its customer service staff provided your high caliber of service and were all worked out of offices located onshore.

STAY AWAY FROM ADT AT ALL COSTS!!!! STOLE $5,000 FROM MY 80-YEAR-OLD MOTHER…read more Four weeks ago, I decided to have a security system installed on my mother's house, she is 80 years old. I called ADT and told them that all I wanted was sensors and cameras installed on the front and back doors. I was quoted over the phone that this job would come in around $200 plus monthly monitoring fees. I agree and set a date for install. I could not be there for the install. The installer (ADT Tech) ended up installing motion detectors, perimeter cameras, fire alarms, window sensors (installed on windows that don't open, and you can't even get too) and charged my mom $5,000+. During the install my mom told the tech that she didn't believe her son ordered all of this and that she didn't want all of this. The tech told her oh no this is what you son ordered, and this is what you need. Which was a flat lie! For the last 4 weeks I have been calling ADT to get this corrected and my mom's money refunded to her. I have called twice a week for 4 straight weeks. Each time being told that somebody who could help me would return my call. Finally, I drive to ADT Tacoma off of north 9th street. I was told there by Brad Wheeler (General Manager of Operations for the Pacific Northwest) that he couldn't do anything for me. Really? He proceeded to tell me I needed to contact Nick Gayman a 3rd party installer as he was in charge and who I needed to talk too. I spoke with Nick, and he said I needed to speak with account management to get this fixed, which is who I spoke with already twice a week for the last few weeks. I have never been given the run around so much in my life. I even told them I would keep the equipment I ordered and continue the monthly monitoring service. I just wanted them to do what was right and remove the equipment I didn't order and refund my mom her $4,800+. But apparently nobody at ADT is capable of making the situation right. I am sure this isn't the first time this has happened and wont me the last. I will continue to make this right and won't be going away. Next stop BBB.

Adam was easy to work with, and he and his team worked quickly. The work: (1) repair about a 15-20ft section of our 6ft chain link that was the victim of a fallen tree. (2) replace about a 40ft section of chicken wire fencing with chainlink. (3) update the automation on our gate with new sensor and keypad. It all took about 1 week to complete and another week or so for the gate because he was waiting for a part. Another aspect of level of service that sets businesses apart is communication, and Adam is responsive. I'd highly recommend.

I reviewed the camera system with their installer/Salesperson and after receiving a "thumbs up" from her ordered the parts. I scheduled 2 weeks out to install. She had to cancel morning of because her eye was injured in an installation incident the day before. She should have called me in advance, she had my cell number. I had made special arrangements for a weekend install, met with her Saturday AM, and she cancelled with me on the spot. I rescheduled with her the next weekend, she agreed. Was to give her full access to my business premises the following weekend (we are not open on weekends). I requested a W9 form, as I do with every vendor before I pay them, as this is an IRS requirement for me to have on hand, in case a 1099 is needed at year end. The sales person spoke to the owners of RPE and they refused to supply this federal IRS form, and cancelled the install via email. The only reason I can see for such a reaction is that they may not have wanted to report the income. Oh well... I have already found another installed that has happily taken the job and supplied a W9 form as requested. I do not recommend this company at all due to their unprofessional and questionable business practices. After their response to my request, I don't feel they are ethical, at least didn't act ethically with my business.
