Costs: If you are upgrading your home network or other capability, and need to buy new/more gear, Shawn doesn't charge a markup on the equipment. In fact, once he's designed your solution he will provide you with links to the exact products required and let you buy them directly from the vendors if desired. Or he'll buy them himself and present you with the receipts. Hourly rate: With the skills Shawn possesses, his hourly rate is substantial. And it should be. However, you can still bring your project in at a very reasonable cost PROVIDED you can be a smart customer. By this I mean you must be clear on the capabilities you want to achieve--or at least be able to listen to Shawn describe what's possible and then make rapid decisions. If instead you want a lot of customer education, Shawn can do that too because he knows an immense amount about IT and can communicate effectively. However, it's a bit like paying for a neurosurgeon to teach you about the types of aspirin available to treat a headache. That doesn't make sense; get a nurse instead! In my case, my wife and I work from the house. My goals were to increase the reliability of our home network. We wanted better maintainability (so when the internet goes down I can rapidly identify the problem and fix it). We wanted better network security. I wanted to add a home security camera because of problems with car prowls, etc. And finally, I wanted to move our networking gear out of our super-hot furnace room to a cooler and cleaner location. This was a lot. Other vendors had previously failed to come up with an affordable solution--or any solution at all. Shawn showed us how to do it for a very reasonable sum. Once we had a plan, I was able to control costs by getting a carpenter friend to open up the wall and pull wires through to the new location for the gear. Shawn also kept costs down by allowing me to provide extra hands as he mounted gear on the wall, connected all of our wireless access points to the new console, etc. These steps all require two people. Shawn was willing to let me help and he even maintained a high level of wit and good-natured ribbing throoughout the long day of work. In sum: great outcome, great satisfaction, great price.

He is very efficient and worth every penny of his 2 hour visit. Will definitely call him when we decide to update our system Kate WB

OK - so I am a bit biased as I have been working for Network Architects for over three years now…read more We are a boutique IT sales and services firm. We offer IT services to the SMB market for everything from Help Desk to Fully Managed Services - i.e. we are your snap in IT department. We sell Aruba/Cisco/Datto/Dell/HP/Lenovo/Microsoft and practically all other leading technology manufacturers. We offer Office 365 migration services, network design, backup/disaster recovery, compliance testing (HIPAA, PCI), monitoring services, etc. Why am I writing this as a review - because I came on board here after having Network Architects provide IT services for two companies I was at. I was impressed both times with the quality of the work and their client-centric approach to IT. I highly recommended them before I came on with them and now recommend them even more. We have some amazing people here on staff who are highly trained and qualified to help you with your IT needs. Cheers...Steve

When third-party workmen in our yard knocked out our business' internet access, we were in panic…read moremode. We needed to splice or rerun the fiber optic cable as quickly as possible. After soliciting three bids, we chose to go with Premier Communications. Premier responded to our request for a bid within 20 minutes, and scheduled a technical visit that same day. Every person I spoke with from Premier(Scott the owner, the scheduler and Jeff, the technician,) was knowledgeable, straight- forward, professional and considerate. The scheduler/dispatcher kept us consistently updated with regards to the technician's arrival time. We were especially impressed by our technician Jeff. Jeff was really sympathetic with regards to our need for a quick and reliable fix at an affordable price. Jeff offered us several options and the next day he came back and fixed our problem like a true expert. Premier's estimate was roughly 1/2 to 2/3 of the other estimates we received. Jeff and the rest of the Premier staff did a fantastic job at getting us re-connected within a day and a half. I would recommend Premier Communications to anyone who needs assistance with installation of PBX systems, cabling, and cable repairs.

For the most part, we have had good service from adding a new line, inquiring about the new deals with phone upgrades, and solving more complex questions around ownership of family plans (there is only one authorized phone number to validate changes, but there can be co-owners to the plan to make online changes). The last was a heck of a puzzle to solve. We didn't always get a clear answer immediately, but they do try. Lastly, we come in for the Tuesday free swags. They are always very chill about these giveaways and don't make it cringy for these free pickups. Most recently, we got a clear bag for stadium use. Woot!
