A positive review for Architech Designs (Also known as Architechnology Designs). I did a total gut…read morerenovation to my home, and added a second story as well in 2021. One of the best things I did for my home renovation project was hiring Architech Designs for all my AV & Low Voltage needs. Architech Designs was attentive to all details; from the plans for my project, to rough wiring, install and more. I really appreciated the time the technicians took to make everything perfect in my home and how neat the wiring was. Architech Designs kept my home dust free, and all wires labeled. After my AV project was complete, I was so pleased with my system, I called them back to additionally add an outdoor TV to my backyard. Architech Designs' setup is really user friendly and intuitive for my needs. The technicians provided me tutorials on how to work my tv's, lights, Sonos, music, ring security, and more. I also have extremely fast internet in all parts of my home + my backyard. I even have a guest Wi-Fi which is great for when I entertain. Now that I have been living in my renovated house for 1+ years, my AV system is still fantastic. It's such a nice feeling to play music, stream tv apps with a hardwired connection, and more, without any interruptions. My home is now exactly how I always wanted it to be for entertaining and everyday needs. Overall, I highly recommend Architech Designs. Thank you for a great experience.

He was really patient with me and listened to what we wanted. He did not try to sell us on anything we did not need and was honest when he thought something would be an unnecessary expense. The team arrived on time and explained everything before starting. They took off their shoes each time they came into the home and gave us a heads up when they knew things would get a little noisier (much appreciated since we were working from home). The team cleaned up after themselves and made sure we understood how to use the system before leaving. Brandon followed up with us more than once after installation to make sure everything was working as expected. We actually made an additional request after our installation and he found a way to get it done right away. I love that we can directly reach out to him with any concerns instead of calling an 800 number and being left on hold. I highly recommend reaching out to Islandwide Alarms for anything security related. You will not be disappointed.

Stellar performance by Islandwide Alarm…read more The team explained every aspect of their alarm & camera system to each of us. Regardless of the obstacles our store presented itself for the installation Islandwide Alarm was well equipped to solve each of them. My favorite aspect was their teamwork; as one teammate was drilling into the wall another teammate was right next to him vacuuming the dust. They were a finely tuned team that cleaned as they worked and put away their equipment as one of them explained their systems while answering all of our questions. Professional Friendly Punctual Neat I highly recommend Islandwide Alarm

Like many people of a certain age and disposition, I watch a fair amount of TV: a smattering of…read morenetwork programs, a lot of sports, a lot of DVDs of classic and current films. And like people of similar age and disposition, I have been keen to explore the reputed glories of HD/digital television. But I was scared. Intimidated by the mare's nest of wires and cables in my present set-up, which includes TiVo, a satellite box, and two different media players. Intimidated when I visited the big-box stores on 86th Street and wandered lonely as a cloud through serried ranks of massive flat screens. I consulted friends and relatives: some who had installed HDTV, a nephew who produces digital videos, a friend who runs the best high-end DVD company. From them I came away with a feeling as to which HDTV sets would best suit me - but my basic yearning had not been fulfilled, which was for a total "turnkey" job that would involve dealing with one vendor/installer, and one only, and at the end of the process would have everything up and running - both technically and within the limits of my comprehension. The idea of "Geek Squads" or "Firedogs" or other installation subsets of big-box retailers bothered me. If something went wrong, I didn't want to find myself swinging like a confused chimpanzee from the branches of a phone tree. I wanted one number to call, one person to deal with. I heard about a website called Cedia, an acronym for the association of high-end sales & installation firms in New York City. I searched the site for firms within 10 miles of where I live in DUMBO, in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge. From the listings that came up, I recognized several. A couple - famous names - I had dealt with, and the experience had been OK, but not more than that: often impersonal, occasionally condescending, always expensive. Then I happened on a website that immediately struck me for the intelligence of its written presentation and the excellent aesthetic-qualities of its graphics. So I picked up the phone, and that is how I got to know Hy Haddad of HDH Intelligent Technologies Corporation. Hy proved to be smart and personable. That afternoon, he came over, sized up my "facility" and made certain recommendations. That these concurred with what my "pro" friends had advised was grounds for confidence. I asked for references. His principal customer bloc happens to be a bunch of people I know through a relative to be as demanding and perfection-requiring as any I can think of. That was good enough for me. And Hy's prices were fully competitive with 86th Street. As I write, it is roughly a week since I called Hy Haddad. Last night, his two-man crew, both intelligent and well-spoken, appeared with the works. When they left, everything was working perfectly. Including a universal remote that required five minutes to master. I may never leave my loft; I have never been happier.

They have cancelled three different times and shown up 3 different times without the parts necessary to do the job, despite numerous phone calls prior. They will just blow through appointment times not showing up without so much as a call. Only to then get the same bogus excuse that they don't have the right parts once again. This has truly been a nightmare of an experience and we've already paid for the product so we can't go with another vendor. Save your money and save yourselves the headache. I'd rather take a shot installing technology myself with zero experience than use this company again.
