I had a great experience with Will Gates. He installed a nest thermostat for my home. He took the time to test each heating and air condition. He showed my husband I how to use the app properly too. I highly recommend him. I happen to get a bed from Ikea delivered for my daughter. I casually asked him if would be interested in setting it up. I have put together IKEA projects before and they can be a pain. Will said he was up for the task. The next day I hired him to put together my daughter' bed. 15 boxes later... my daughter has a nice bunk bed. He is such a nice person. If you need nest installation, IKEA projects, Will is your guy!!! read more

Update: After such a wonderful experience, we decided to have AvidWorks install smart door locks, externals cameras, and 3 Rachio irrigation controllers. Everything he installed is working reliably and as promised by Will and the vendors. As before, he arrived early and stayed late into the evening to ensure that everything was working. This was a testament to his commitment to his customers considering we had many problems with our irrigation system that he fixed even though the problems had nothing to do with the Rachio controllers. We also received several defective products and he worked tirelessly on his own time with the vendor to identify and resolve the problems before returning to install at our house. Saying Will exceeded all expectations feels like an understatement because he, his commitment to his customers, and his commitment to quality of service is just that extraordinary. Will is simply the most outstanding contractor I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with and I would trust him to do anything. AvidWorks exceeded my expectations in every way. Requesting a quote was very easy and simple and they responded immediately with a competitive quote and the ability to do the work the next business day. Will, the technician arrived early and began work promptly, explaining very clearly everything he was doing. He went the extra mile when we discovered I requested the wrong product and drove 40 miles to exchange products. His installation was impeccable. It was an utter joy to have someone so knowledgeable in the field, so efficient on the job, and so passionate about what he does. My experience with Avidworks was so far beyond the average experience with a contractor, making the whole experience from start to finish effortless and enjoyable. I will definitely have Avidworks implement more home automation as soon as they can give me an estimate for the work. Thank you SO much Will and Avidworks for a far superior customer experience! read more

I will definitely recommend Will and AvidWorks to my friends in the future. read more

Will Gates is the man to fix it! He arrived early, which was perfect for our insane day of appointments. It worked out beautifully. He called first to make sure not to scare us showing up at our door which was nice and it gave me time to put the dog away. He started work immediately and was done within the hour. He was very thorough in his work. Patient with me when I had to ask the same questions over and over to understand what he was doing. He was really nice and friendly, and didn't mind my kids running around him, or the extreme temperatures in my attic. He didn't complain once. Wills the man for the job. Request him. read more

Terrific job! Beautiful installation, very professional, and really great problem solving.

I recently completed a very large remodel of my home, which took 14 months with lots of Covid-related delays. Avidworks installed a Nest security system including a doorbell, 4 indoor cameras, 4 outdoor cameras, 2 Yale Nest door locks, a Nest Guard with motion detectors and 8 smoke detectors. From the first meeting with Lorena and Will to the final execution of our plan, it took 15 months, and they were absolutely fantastic the whole way through. Lorena could not be more communicative, friendly, and detail-oriented. Every question I had was researched and thoughtfully explained. The installation took 2 days, and Will spent a good deal of time and effort finding the most aesthetically pleasing way to mount everything. The thing I most appreciated about working with both of them is how well they listened. I had very specific and slightly different objectives than most people, and they listened to my concerns and helped me brainstorm solutions. When I decided not to install one piece of equipment that Lorena had spent a good amount of time researching, I told her I wanted to pay her for her time, since my decision had nothing to do with the work she had done, and it seemed fair to compensate her. She refused my offer and told me she would only accept payment when a piece of equipment was actually installed. Exceedingly gracious and a sign of just how ethical and motivated they are to make their customers happy. A word about cost - there's a good amount of time spent planning, researching and advising on a system compared to the actual time spent installing. I felt their quote was straightforward and completely reasonable, and it captured the real cost of the work it takes to deliver an installation that will make a customer happy. I would rather pay a bit more to get a well-thought out system by people who care about the details. And their system ended up being far less and easier to manage than the security system companies I had out to quote i.e. Bay Alarm. read more

I couldn't be happier with AvidWorks, and particularly their technician, Will.  He saved the day! We purchased the Ecobee3 Lite and after following their instructions, were unable to get it to work.  I had to call an HVAC specialist who told me the Ecobee3Lite wasn't able to work in our space and ended up selling us some other thermostat we didn't want. We still wanted the Ecobee so we got in touch with AvidWorks, who came out on schedule and got the EcoBee to work!  On top of that, their technician was genuine and honest and offered us all the time we needed to not only install the Ecobee, but ensured that it was also connected to our wifi and my personal phone.  Not to mention the reasonable price, I absolutely recommend AvidWorks! read more

I contacted AvidWorks Technology to correct the functional issues that I was having with my two Nest thermostats. Will Gates arrived on time and introduced himself with his id badge and asked how he could be of service. Will correctly identified and connected the problem quickly. What i appreciate about Will is that he documented his work with before and after photographs and thoroughly explained everything to me. Through my experience today I understand the 5 Star rating and HIGHLY recommend AvidWorks for your smart home and HVAC care. Thanks Will read more

Lorena and Will are fantastic. Lorena qualified our needs perfectly so no time was wasted. Will showed up exactly when he scheduled our appointment and was courteous and professional! Great experience all the way around read more

Most of the time I like to install things myself. With Youtube tutorials it seems like you can pretty much do anything. But when I opened the Nest Doorbell box and read the instructions and looked at my electrical wiring I realized very quickly that nope I need to hire somebody. And THANK GOD I hired Avidworks. Will came out to install our doorbell and it was clear that this was the right choice. He installed it quickly and while I could see the work was simple it was because he had the right tools and tons of experience. I don't own a drill that can drill into concrete. I don't own the equipment to check if I have the right voltage. Will had everything along with the expertise of how to angle the camera in the right place, how to get your settings exactly right for notifications, and every little nuance an OCD person like me would go through. Will was on time, clean, efficient, and extremely friendly and generous with his knowledge. I will totally hire Avidworks again. read more

AvidWorks installed several smart-home products in my house (smoke alarms, locks, thermostats, outdoor lighting, irrigation system) and Will and Lorena were incredibly efficient, professional and thorough in both in installing and explaining the various systems. Everything works perfectly and, they were also helpful in explaining further possibilities. I plan to have AvidWorks out again to upgrade my entire home. Perfect experience. read more

Will was GREAT! I'll prob use him for any future wiring/smart home installs. He was quick, on time, meticulous, and just a super nice guy. He even walked me through the Nest thermostat installation on my phone. Prices seemed reasonable, but I'm not expert on what they should be. He lastly double checked that everything was working properly before he charged me anything. Quality and professional. read more

I can't say enough good things about working with AvidWorks. The communication from requesting an estimate to setting up an appointment to having the appointment was fantastic - I knew exactly what to expect, who to expect and how much it would cost me plus potential additional charges if necessary to upgrade the transformer. The day of the appointment arrived and I was ready for my typical experience of waiting long past the arrival window. AvidWorks didn't leave me waiting. My technician arrived promptly, was very knowledgeable and professional and patient with all of my questions.
