The tech, Artie, was nice and completed the job in about thirty minutes. That said, the amount I was charged seemed really high, and was far above what I was originally quoted. I paid but made it clear I was not happy. Violet, a manager, contacted me about my complaint and refunded some of the charges, for a final amount that was much more in line, IMO, with the amount of work that was done. For that, I commend them.

Everything you would like from a locksmith. We needed some locks re-keyed. The woman who answered…read morethe phone was professional. The prices I were quoted were flat fees rather than hourly, and they were competitive versus the competition. Even better, this leads to no surprises at billing time. Josh arrived within my preferred one hour time frame. He was professional, friendly, (and since I was curious) informative. He did everything right--even after bumping into a small puzzle of a problem--with patience and grace. You might say, "Your points are granted. But nevertheless, why 5 stars rather than 4?" You got me there. Really, what else could they have done for the extra star? "They could have offered you a beer." Yes indeed they could have. Therefore I offer this qualification of my five star review: Don't contact them if you were expecting a free beer.

What a disappointment. A tech came and signed us up and then refused to work with our system saying…read morethat the window contacts were not something they would work with. He did not offer to replace them, saying that we had to hire another company to do this even though they were supposed to work with the parts that were here. From the beginning he clearly did not want to be here. We called and were told to speak to Jerry, in order to cancel the contract. After some phone tag we spoke. He insisted that they had never paid us a visit so our report of a rude, dismissive tech was incorrect. We really had to push him, and he finally "found" a record of the visit. Obviously the technician made no notes at all. He said that they would not have refused to work with what we have. Jerry's tone was combative from the beginning. There was no offer of trying to make it right, i.e., fixing the problems we were having with our alarm. They just wanted their money.

I've been wanting to get cameras at my home since moving here a bit over a year ago. I don't even…read moreremember how I stumbled upon 606 installs but it was lucky. Another company I had spoken with had quoted me more than twice the price, I guess because the cameras they use are fancy or something? I don't know, because the ones Ernesto installed are great and doing precisely what I wanted. When I was on my search for home security cameras, I kept mostly finding things like ADT, SimpliSafe, or something else that was largely about selling you the monitoring plan; the equipment I think was less expensive but then you're paying for the monitoring. I am not generally a fan of the everything-is-now-a-subscription-or-service thing nor do I want to be beholden to whatever rates a company decides to charge. Some of those also were self-install options, which didn't interest me at all. They hooked up several cameras at our home to provide various views, including the basement since I wanted to be able to see what's happening down there when I'm upstairs. The system has a hard drive that can support up to eight cameras. We can save photos, videos, and also play back to see what happened earlier in the recording on the various cameras. Although they could have provided a monitor, we don't really have a place for it so we simply have an app on our phone through which we can view the cameras. I'm not sure why, but I thought it would go much more quickly than it did. I have no frame of reference to know how long it should have taken so that's not a criticism. It took about six hours total but having it done well was the most important part. I would highly the crew at 606 installs for their professionalism, reasonable rate, and excellent work.

We required a system that was easy-to-use but delivered quality surveillance footage. The system was designed with panoramic or 360-degree cameras which reduced the total amount of cameras needed to cover key areas and allowed for the beauty of our facility to shine in which we were awarded Excellence in Design for New Construction at the 2017 Design Evanston Awards. Having Umbrella Technologies on the construction and planning team was of great value to our organization and after the system was turned over to our administrative team they were responsive and continued to answer all of our questions.
