First off. Larry is a great guy. Very friendly. A true gentleman this is in no way a review about his character. It is a review based on his services and communication. I hired Larry to install two TV's one with a solution which he recommended, and One a standard mount to the wall. I did have multiple communication issues with Larry where he agreed to a certain day and time, then forgot which day he agreed to. This wasn't a huge inconvenience as he was able to re-accommodate the original date. I had originally asked him if I could pay by credit card, and he stated it shouldn't be a problem. Then in the end it became a problem. All of this is just an inconvenience. But I guess I'm an old fashioned kinda guy. I always go by what people communicate to me. If you don't live by your word, what good is your word you know? The main issue was he stated it would take six hours and it took multiple days. What ended up happening in the end is that he was expecting that I would pay for them to learn about the solution he had recommended. I informed him I was paying for his experience and if he had none in this particular solution then he should not have recommended said solution. If I asked him to do something custom I would gladly pay the overages. But again this was his recommendation and he had never mounted this type of mount that he himself recommended. The customer should not be forced to pay for training time. Otherwise the customer could have taken that same time to do it themselves. Larry was supposed to come back on Saturday to finish the rest of the work as they couldn't complete it in the same day and he couldn't make it, we were waiting for him then texted me to say he would come on Sunday, "since the day had gotten away from him". He did come on Sunday and finished up. At the end the work they did was fine. Everything is functioning as it should and it looks good. If the communication, and time for install were better this would have been a five star review. All in all I don't think I'll be using his services again. There are other options that are less expensive which provide the same quality of workmanship. I've actually used them at home and at my company before. But I thought I'd give Larry a try...it was unfortunate that I was disappointed. read more

I had the pleasure to have Larry Goodloe of Smarthome-office Inc installed my HD CCTV security surveillance camera at my home recently. All I can say here is a business with integrity and professionalism! I contacted Smarthome-Office Inc after performing some extensive research on the web and calling all the different security camera resellers/installers and was not very impress with the extremely high quotes and reviews. I contacted a Yelp 5 stars TV-Installer.com John Maino who recommended Smarthome-Office Inc to me. As I trust John with his recommendation, I made an appointment with Larry. Long story short, Larry went out of his way to make sure everything was taken care off, educated me on security cameras and the difference between consumer products vs industrial business CCTV products. He recommended a Flir security HD camera system to me which I thought I was not able to afford only to find out with Larry dealer pricing, he was able to match a retail Swann security camera package with a Flir HD security camera package which is like buying a Mercedes and paying a VW price for it. The Flir system is so great, excellent pictures at night without lights and it sends me a text when the motion sensor detect movement at my front door, so whey UPS or FedEx drop off a package, it will send me a picture of the delivery person with my package. How cool is that? Larry told me his distributor had the Flir security camera system in stock only to find out the day he went to pick it up, they were sold out! So here we go I thought a few weeks of waiting, but NO, Larry found one 3 hours away and he drove there to pick it up and no extra cost to me. Larry spend 3 days at my house and only bid for one day, he told me he will cap the labor charge time off at the 10 hours he quoted but I was so happy with his work that I paid him double which is still less than the cost for the other CCTV dealers quoted. So Larry was happy and so was I. I had a lot of experience with contractors and all I can say is Larry was as good as they get, he was on time, very clean and meticulous with his work! This business is so good that I made it a point to tell all my friends and family to use this company if they need a CCTV system. My CCTV already helped me as we had a breaking & Entering on my block, first one we had since I been here for 16 years and I believe I caught the guys on video. With our police being stretch and cities not responding to alarm calls, I would highly recommend for you to step up and protect yourself with a CCTV as it is a great deterrent for these amateur criminals as they rather pick a house that is not protected by CCTV. Give Larry a call, he will sit down and let you know your options for CCTV cameras. Thanks again Larry, wish I can do more than giving you a great review for you and your company By the way, looked into Comcast home security, they don't keep the recordings so if you are on vacation and someone breaks into your home, to bad!. read more

I just bought a new house and apparently the cable company doesn't run cable anymore. So, I find Larry's number through an outside source and give him a call. Where is he? In an attic working. So he calls me back and is able to give me a quote over the phone and set up an appointment two days later. He is super efficient and quick. Cleaned up all his mess, labeled everything, gave me updates along the way. He was amazing! I am so happy with the service, and I will be calling him for future needs. Perhaps speakers in the backyard, I think so! Thanks Larry! You were great!! read more

I LOVE LARRY G!!!! He came to reroute our cable to another wall in our family room. He was punctual, courteous, and knowledgeable!!! He even cleaned up his wood shavings after completing all of the drilling. I felt he went above and beyond when he helped me to connect all of our entertainment units through our sound system!!!! I would highly recommend this company, especially Larry G!!!! read more

What luck! After getting the runaround from the the few supposedly reliable hi-fi stores who really only want to sell you their high priced equipment, I found Larry Goodloe. He gave us an honest evaluation of my old equipment as to what was still good and what should be replaced. I love classical music and I must admit the speakers he installed are truly wonderful!. I am surrounded by beautiful music. And the receiver was not very expensive but it was the perfect update that was needed. I can now also play the classical stations on the radio,plus all get all TV (Netflix, Amazon and can play my old CD's, Dvd's. and its all programed on 1 Remote! The remote has clear pictures and is so simple to use. You read and hear about such miracles but you rarely ever see them. . Larry did a beautiful job, He is pleasant, very reasonable, extremely knowledgeable and really into giving what you want even though you sometimes don't really know quite how to put into words. Sigh! it is wonderful when you find a dedicated craftsman in any field. These days they are few and far between. read more

We are a decent, honorable couple that had a deplorable experience with Larry Goodloe. Larry Goodloe is neither reliable, personable, nor professional. It took Larry several months to finish most of a 6 camera and TV install and we ultimately had to hire someone else to finish the job. It started out fine and then suddenly, once he knew he had the job in hand, he stopped showing up regularly and claimed he had other customers to tend to. We ended up paying Larry several thousands for what became a very unsatisfactory job. Delay after delay, wires hanging everywhere, sloppy. I guess he thought we were an elderly couple who wouldn't notice. Also, when he did show up, he constantly complained about being on a ladder, which is where he does his job regularly one would think, and basically had tried to get us over a barrel asking for extra money each time he had to do some ladder work? I guess we had a vastly different experience to the other reviewers, but ours is the truth. This Larry Goodloe showed himself to be very unreliable and dishonorable, and is expensive. We ultimately had to hire someone else to finally get the job done and fix Larry Goodloe's mess. read more
