There are some points that were mentioned by Jared Jarvi (the owner) on the intial exploratory phone call that he did not live up to. When asked about price, I was told that he charges $75 an hour and the jobs are usually 4 hours long so the cost would be $300 total. I was also told he would arrive around noon. When he didn't arrive, I called and he said between 3-4 (each time I left work awaiting his arrival). I finally got a call at 4:15pm that he was on his way. The job was completed by 6pm. Less than 2 hours. Once the job was completed (which he did an adequate job - I think the TV is not quite level) he gave me an invoice for $496. He charged for 4 hours, and he did not mention that the mounting equipment was extra (otherwise I could have bought the mount myself and saved money). Thus I was charged $300 for labor instead of $150 and $196 for the TV mount. So the moral of the story is to get clarity around his hourly rate, ensure TV is level, and get clarity on the cost of the TV mount before you agree to service. I have a projector and another TV to mount, but will use another service.

I called two places that specialize in home security and never got a call back. I went into a Video Only store and asked if they install. They said no but referred me to these guys. I was comfortable with their shop rate (you get what you pay for). I'm too busy to micro manage so I was relieved when these guys got right to work and I could tell they were pros! I tried not to hover cause that is annoying but I was curious so I peaked in on them from time to time. I will definitely use these guys again!

Peter was fantastic. He is trustworthy and responsive. He came out the same day and gave us 2 options, one that uses the coax wires as a network line that saved us tens of thousand dollars of cabling and wires, and another estimate from their installer that includes new Cat6e wires. The estimates are both almost half price than the quotes we got from 3 other big companies. After asking from the neighboring facilities, we found out they've done a lot of this old warehouses and have the knowledge, expertise and highly recommended. They planned out the location of each camera and relocate some to have a face recognizable images even wearing hats, or hood and read license plates as they come and go to our driveway. They took a lot of care to make sure the wire runs were perfectly, hidden and on conduit for outdoor cameras. There are zero wires visible. They far exceeded my expectations. The camera system is really nice, very crisp, clear video and the installation is perfect by the third party installer. The interface is so self-explanatory and easy to use.

Mike was super communicative, responsive, and honest about what the pricing would be. And the two people sent to do the installation (both named Jarrod!) arrived within the window I was given a call when they were about 20 minutes out. The Jarrods were friendly, efficient and offered advice when asked. Because it was being mounted to brick and an outlet wasn't exactly close (not to mention a bulky extension cord thrown into the mix) the best I could have hoped for was for all the wires to be maybe bundled kind of neatly, but they damn near concealed them completely! (they also bundled any excess cord nicely behind the television). It was such a great, low-stress experience and I would totally hire them again! Few things to note: - Most of the communication was handled through Angi via text message. - I had my own mounts, but I think they can supply them as well. (I would double-check on this one) - The labor was charged hourly with a 2 hour minimum. - The cable covers on the wall were an extra charge.

First of all, I would like to state that I have never in my life written a review about anything -…read morecontractors, restaurants, amazon purchases, etc. However, dealing with Madrona has been such a long drawn out and negative experience that I want other people to be aware of what they're getting involved with. Additionally, our friends that recommended Madrona originally said they would rescind their recommendation once their fairly simple project dragged on for months. I would find a different company if I were you. Anyways, we moved into our home at the beginning of November 2013 and promptly set up an appointment with Madrona to update the home speaker system and additional home theater items. We thought the price was high, but they were recommended from a friend that was currently having work done by Madrona. To make a long story short, we signed the contract on 11/22/13 and today, 8/22/14, the project is still outstanding. Work started in January and the original team that came out to do the work was pleasant to work with but stated that our proposal included items that would not quite work with our set up. Therefore some items on our proposal were switched around and the project was put on hold as we waited for more supplies. This happened multiple times... One of our main visible speakers has never had a cover on it. We were told that it was a floor sample and that as soon as our speaker came in (we were told multiple times that it was ordered for us) they would come out and install it. We are still sitting here with a floor sample speaker in our living room without a cover on it. We tried to contact John multiple times to ask where our speaker was and have been informed that he left the company. We have now been dealing with Mike B and this is turning into a hassle also. Can we just have our speaker and be finished with this please? Additionally, our contract stated that we did not have to pay the last 10% until everything was complete, but John called repeatedly and stopped by our home requesting that we pay it because they were closing the books. I have no idea why we let ourselves be pressured by him and paid that remaining 10% - not very smart on our part. Therefore, go with Madrona if you want to pay for a never-ending project where you will never receive everything you were told you'd receive. This whole experience has been ridiculous.

I discovered CI Tech LLC online and verified their credentials using the Washington state contractor lookup tool. Additionally, I reviewed feedback on Google My Business and Yelp for further assurance. I contacted the company's owner, Aiden Won, through their website's contact page. Aiden responded within 48 hours, which I found acceptable. We arranged a meeting at my house for Aiden to assess the installation logistics and options. He asked me to consider potential camera placements beforehand. During our first meeting, Aiden's thorough assessment of my home for potential security system setups was impressive. He examined every angle and placement possibility, demonstrating his commitment to understanding the project. After Aiden's initial visit, we maintained consistent communication. Aiden was not only flexible when I suggested an alternate location for the NVR, but also provided valuable input on the system setup, demonstrating his dedication to meeting my needs. On installation day, Aiden and his colleague Michael arrived punctually at 10:30 a.m. and worked diligently until 8 p.m. They were friendly and sought my opinion on camera placement and other preferences. When unpacking the cameras, Aiden realized that his supplier had forgotten to include brackets for two cameras. He also encountered some software issues that required manufacturer support. Aiden devised a plan B to resolve these issues and assured me he would return to install the final components once the parts arrived. Two days later, with the necessary parts in hand, Aiden and Michael returned to complete the installation. They worked from 2:30 to 7 p.m. They adjusted the doorbell camera angle as requested. Aiden also addressed software and camera issues, optimizing the system settings. After setup, he ensured all cameras were correctly positioned and provided detailed instructions on managing and maintaining the system. It was clear that Aiden and Michael placed high demands on themselves to deliver quality work, which was very reassuring for me. I am extremely satisfied with the surveillance system that Aiden and Michael installed. The entire experience, from design to installation, was seamless. The software, monitoring screen, and cameras are functioning superbly. Aiden took additional time to educate me on the software and how I could best maintain the system so it will last for a long time. I highly recommend considering CI Tech LLC for your future home or business projects. Working with Aiden was effortless from start to finish. He made designing the system, choosing products, and deciding on camera placement straightforward and stress-free. I am very pleased with the installed system and reassured by Aiden's commitment to providing ongoing support and assistance with future upgrades if needed. CI Tech LLC is a dependable and customer-friendly choice for home technology projects. I believe you will be very satisfied with their work and outstanding customer care, as I have!
