Our home has an older AV system installed years ago by another contractor. Over time, the system became outdated, complicated, and the contractor became harder to reach and increasingly expensive. My wife and I separated several years ago, but she still lives in the home and has always struggled with the universal remote and the setup's complexity. Recently, she called me in distress because she couldn't turn on the television in the living room. Under normal circumstances, that would be a small inconvenience. But my wife is currently battling stage-four ovarian cancer and only has a few months left. All she wanted was the simple comfort of sitting on the couch and watching TV. I called Jake and explained the situation. Without hesitation, he said he would come take a look. The next day, he and one of his technicians, Wilson, showed up and spent over an hour patiently troubleshooting the system until they got everything working again. When the work was finished, I asked what I owed him. Jake said there would be no charge given my wife's condition. I was honestly taken back. In a world where it often feels like everything is transactional, Jake chose compassion instead. This wasn't just good service, it was humanity, and I'll never forget that kindness. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about his clients and takes pride in his work, Barker Tech is the real deal.

I previously used a big Bay Area AV/home automation company. I spent over six figures on the initial install when I was rebuilding my house, and after that, every "fix" cost thousands. They had me on a Savant system where even a simple upgrade--like adding a new Apple TV 4K--was quoted at $4,000 because I needed new video cards. I was tired of the "gatekeeping" and not being able to make simple changes myself. I hired Jake to fix the mess, and Barker Tech has been incredible. He didn't just patch things up. he completely updated my network and AV, removed the bloated Savant system, and simplified my entire home automation setup. The result? A system that is high-end, significantly more dependable and simple, I'm able to DIY some things and I don't need to worry about explaining to my wife why a simple change to the system costs more than our first car we bought. The responsiveness is what really sets them apart. I recently had a troubleshooting issue: Jake responded within 5 minutes and had it totally resolved in 15 minutes. Barker Tech feels "too good to be true" because the knowledge and attention to detail are world-class, but the prices are actually reasonable. If you're tired of being overcharged by the big firms, call Jake. (Just don't take up all his time!)

Absolutely fantastic experience…read more To start, the quote was well considered and thoughtful, and they took the time to really understand exactly how they would accomplish our goals, which gave me huge confidence in their work. The work was fantastic and equally as thoughtful, even often going above and beyond what we originally discussed if something could be easily fixed around where they were working. For example, I recently had an AT&T Fiber install, and they noticed the line installed by the AT&T technician was just flapping in the wind against my house. While they were routing other lines, they took the time to secure that fiber line and clean it up, in addition to sealing the holes left by AT&T. The installations themselves were perfect, using laser measurers to ensure perfect alignment, bubble wrapping ladders to ensure no potential damage on drywall, running wires in such a way to hide them, running wires secured, etc. Just about as perfect as you could imagine an installation to be. Without a shred of doubt, the next time we have any additional low voltage/networking work needed, they are an easy automatic call for me. Strongly recommended!

Freddy and his team were clearly very experienced and highly professional. They did an impressive job tidying up the cabling, installing conduits/piping where necessary, and terminating all the Ethernet connections with a wall outlet, all while treating the house itself with respect and care. Freddy also installed a networking rack to secure the networking equipment. All of this for a very reasonable cost. I would highly recommend Freddy and his team.

Aside from being very knowledgeable about his domain, Kurtis and his team are also able to think creatively about different solutions. The pathway they created for all the wiring took them a great deal of effort, but it's almost invisible, both inside and outside the house. Their team worked tirelessly to make sure everything was installed well while maintaining the esthetic of our house. Asking for small adjustments, like lowering the TV after the first installment or removing older cameras, was never an issue. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Kurtis, and I'd be more than happy to approach him again for future projects.

Ours was probably a small-to-mid-size job for him, but it felt big to us, and Kurtis and team were sensitive to our concerns, as well as very efficient at getting the job done. We have been extremely happy with our new TVs with upgraded sound, our extended wifi, and mind-blowing theater system in our "man cave". I 100% recommend Kurtis Company.

After contacting Doorbird directly, they referred us to Jeff and his team, and I can see why. From the start, Jeff was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. He came out to assess our setup and thoughtfully recommended a Doorbird solution that would meet our functional and aesthetic needs. Jeff even coordinated the fabrication of a custom stainless steel faceplate with Doorbird to seamlessly replace the older system. His team handled everything--from removing the old Aiphone unit to installing the new Doorbird system, connecting Wi-Fi, and updating the indoor intercoms. The work was clean, efficient, and done with care. If you're looking for someone reliable and experienced to upgrade your building's intercom or entry system, I highly recommend Hipontech. Jeff and his crew exceeded expectations at every step.

The older system only allowed us to hear the buzzer but we had no way of talking back and forth to them. Buzzing people into the building without vetting them was a risk. Jeff took the time to come out, reviewed our existing system and made recommendations based on our needs. Electronic payments were easy and the equipment arrived within a week. They required a full day for setup and then helped me understand how to get everyone's key fobs and intercoms programmed. The new DoorBird system is great! We can see and talk to visitors before allowing them inside, key fobs let us come in and out quickly without fumbling with keys. Nice to have extra peace of mind!

Xfinity kept telling me the "new" box was going to easily pump wifi through my whole house. It never worked and we had multiple dead spots in our house, where wifi never reached. We ended up trying several things, included a second network setup using Google Nest routers. That also didn't work great and we suffered for years. So finally got fed up, and I called BATH and told Ari what the issue was. He gave me a budget, which I bristled at, at first. Then he walked me through a likely fix, which involved a couple routers networked so that I had independent wifi running on both floors of the house but on the same network. The tech came by and was super nice, and walked me through what they were going to do. I was cautiously optimistic. When they were done? I almost cried at how well everything ran through my house. They even set me up so I had ethernet directly to my gaming PC, and direct into my TV and Xbox. I have not had a single issue since (beside Comcast caused outages), and have blazing fast wifi throughout the house (I pay for the gigaspeed Xfinity). I'm finally utilizing the speed as sold to me by Xfinity. Thanks so much BATH. I really appreciate it. I was super impressed with the emails, the invoices, techs being on time, and just the overall professionalism. It was worth the extra few bucks.

Since they seem to handle a lot of corporate-scale installations, I initially wondered if my project might be too small--but that concern disappeared pretty quickly. The team was already very familiar with Ubiquiti systems and was incredibly patient working with me despite my fairly basic understanding. They walked me through the tradeoffs and ultimately recommended stepping up from mid-range equipment to more professional-grade options. The reasoning was clear, the cost/benefit made sense, and at no point did I feel pressured--just well-advised. The actual Ethernet installation work was top-notch--smurf tubing, recessed (not sticking out!) enclosures, and everything. The level of craftsmanship and attention to detail is honestly beyond what I would normally expect (or even feel comfortable demanding from contractors). They went above and beyond without being asked, and the cable organization is immaculate. Huge thanks to Justin and John for their precision and quality of work, and to Jim and Rodrigo for their thoughtful recommendations on equipment and access point placement. If you're looking for a team that combines technical expertise with professionalism and genuine care, I'd absolutely recommend them.

The breaking point was when the internet became unreliable because the power was unreliable and the stove stopped working. I contacted Alex and he said he could send someone over that same day. He was transparent about the pricing before the job began. When his team member (Ming) came over he was thorough and transparent about what he found and Alex came over to assess himself. Turns out one of the main line coming into the house on the verge of burning out and thus the other 110v line was trying to compensate which caused it to also overload. This explained why the 240 outlets were not functioning. Our electrical was just old and the age caught up. He gave a reasonable estimate and fixed it by the end of the day. In passing, I also mentioned that although our stove worked, it seemed that it's power fades as I use it more and he was able to determine that line was under gauged for the load and was a fire hazard. Looking up the prior setup before my recent renovation, I see that they had incorrectly reduced the stove line from 40amps to 30amps. Alex and team was able to solved that problem as well, giving me updates along the way and providing very easy to understand explanations. This was an annoying problem plaguing us for years! Again, the pricing is very reasonable and the quality of work is exceptional. I highly recommend Alex Tong and his team.
