Doesn't jack up the price on each item and only fixes exactly what needs to be fixed. Don't hesitate to give them a call if you want the best service you can find anywhere. they were very reasonable which is a plus in this day and age when many companies just try to get you to fix things that really don't need fixed. Our estimate went from 20,000 with a company that wanted to rewire the whole house to less than 300.00 to fix our problem. Thanks for being there for people that appreciate dealing with an a company that cares.

Once the work was scheduled, the electricians arrived on time and did a great job! We had our old knob & tube replaced, new service outside the house, a new breaker box put in to replace the fuse boxes, and they also cleaned up the cloth covered wiring and ran new gfci outlets to our first floor. Their price was very reasonable compared to the local competition, and they actually came in lower than I thought when I received my invoice. I highly recommend this company if you need any electrical work done, major or minor,

The company is responsive, reliable, and reasonable--just what you want a security company to be. I routinely set off my alarm every once in a while letting the dogs out. The operators are helpful and call immediately to verify with me that nothing is wrong. After 28 years, I thought it was time to upgrade my old system. Mike Price from the Cedar Rapids office came out right away, inspected everything carefully, and suggested improvements like carbon monoxide detection and using a WiFi signal. He answered all of my questions promptly and explained the new updates thoroughly. The cost was extremely reasonable and prices of yearly monitoring are, too. Not only that, having this service qualifies for a discount with our home insurance company. If you want a system you can count on for peace of mind, a company that is always looking out for your best interests, and one that has a staff of knowledgeable, responsive, and helpful people like Mike, I'd give PerMar my highest recommendation!

The antenna installers/technicians from Bannon Communications were knowledgeable and hard workers…read more They had already put in a full day yet did out antenna installation accurately and without rushing. They were careful to minimize the signal cabling visibility and added antenna wall sockets expertly. They set up all of the TVs for Over the Air reception, tested the reception, and did a great job cleaning up after their installation. (I've had local yocals subcontracted by our satellite provider multiple times that blow in, do a half-@$$ job and vanish. Not these guys! I was so glad when the Bannon Communication technicians showed up in a van with Bannon Communications displayed on the vehicle.) Working with Reed Bannon, the owner and CEO was a pleasure. You can tell by talking with him that he knows his craft and that the job will be done to your satisfaction - he guarantees it! I highly recommend Bannon Communications -and that says a lot because I am a picky $0b - you might have to wait a few days to get on their schedule given how busy they are, but they are well worth the wait!
