I don't understand how this company has so many positive reviews. Our experience was extremely disappointing. We hired him to install a hardwired network in our home, install speakers, and replace wiring. The cost seemed excessive for the work performed--much of it consisted of simply taping new wires to old ones and pulling them through the walls, which appeared to be a very basic job. For the CAT5 installation appointments, he canceled multiple times for various reasons, including not having the correct wiring or supplies, medical issues, and confusion about the scheduled day. He was also never clear about his start time, which made scheduling very frustrating. We also had him replace an old cable box in a closet with a larger one. The work was poorly done. While some drywall damage might be expected, the box itself was not secured properly, and all the wiring was placed behind it in a disorganized manner. Later, when we contacted our cable company for an unrelated issue, we discovered that our home already had CAT5 wiring installed. We were unaware of this at the time. Either he knew this and chose not to tell us, or he didn't recognize existing wiring--neither option reflects well on his professionalism or competence. We ultimately saved thousands of dollars by hiring another company that simply tested the existing wires and added wall ports. Overall, the experience was a complete waste of time and money. I would never trust this company to do work in my home again. At best, the service was incompetent; at worst, it felt dishonest. read more

I wouldn't use Juan Castro he will take your deposit and wont do the work,he always ask for 50% deposit and thats against the law,I have no choice but to take him to court.his workmanship is horrible. read more

Thank you . I really recommend Juan to everybody. He responds quick, does the job quick, and very fair for the price. I called him to fix my cameras he came in 2 hours and fixed it and he said it was nothing no need to pay him which he did the work and all. Thank you l really do appreciate it . read more

Had Castro Concepts come by to run CAT6 Ethernet through my house into my home studio. They were super professional, really nice guys, and did a clean job. They took the time to explain how everything works and walked me through the best options for my setup. Everything works great, and the pricing was very fair. Would definitely recommend them. read more

Castro Concepts is fantastic. They were quick to respond to my questions and set up appointments to check on some Home Networking I wanted done. They showed up on time and were extremely respectful and nice; exceptional customer service! They really spent the time diagnosing and figuring out the best solution for my case at no charge. They let me know the best course of action was to call my service provider and have them fix their own equipment instead of having to purchase and install a bunch of expensive stuff. Certainly will be utilizing them for future projects! read more

I have been meaning to leave a positive review for a long time. Now I have no excuse not to. I initially found Juan, Castro Concept, via Yelp. I picked his service because he was local and had pretty good reviews. I installed 4 camera security system and Ethernet home network line set up. All went well, and his service was excellent. I was very happy with it. Two years later, one of my security camera went off line. I tried to fix it myself but i couldn't do it. I called Juan at Castro Concept and he came out and fixed the issue and upgrade one of my camera. It was more than two years ago and he replaced problem camera and only charged me for his service call charge. I can't believe how honest and great his services are. I highly recommend his service to anyone who wants home security camera set up or home network set up. For people who is on the fence about hardwire home security set up, I highly recommend them. I also have Eufy cam. They are good but my hard wire home security set up records 24/7. I can always go back and review. Thank you Castro Concept. God bless you sir. read more

I switched my home network setup up and needed additional ethernet cables pulled to various locations- A few ceiling mounted access points, and a few additional runs to rooms in the house to have more hard wired terminations. Juan came out, toured my home, and came up with a reasonable plan to meet my requested plan. I was VERY impressed with Juan's work- two of the runs were not as straight forward as we'd originally thought, but Juan figured out how to work around the issues with minimal intrusion into our home, making only necessary drywall cuts to get between floors, and even then- being thoughtful enough to make those cuts in the garage instead of inside the house. Everything is working exactly as I hoped, and I have Juan and Castro Concepts to thank! read more

I want to start by thanking Juan and John for installing our home security cameras and for running Cat 6/a Ethernet cables throughout our house. If you want the fast version of my review, scroll down to the last paragraph. I was shopping around for security cameras since there has been a spike in crime. I Ordered Lorex 4K wired cameras with all the features. Next, I called around for install quotes for Security Cameras and Ethernet Cable install. Some contractors never called back or they were outrageously expensive. I found Castro Concepts here on Yelp, read the reviews and more importantly they were local. I try to go local because I still believe in customer service and if anything goes wrong, I can find them. Juan agreed to come over to our house for a quote. Surprisingly, he was on time. We went around the house with all details of camera positions and how many Ethernet cables I needed. I explained that my wife works from home and that our area is a dead zone. We rely on the internet to make cellular calls, run her business, kids iPads and my sports streaming. Juan explained how he recommend to upgrade the connections that came with the cameras for consistency and clarity. Then he explained how he could bundle cables to be more cost effective. He assured me cables would be professionally tucked away out of site. He also told me my internet network would become better. During the install there was not one moment where I felt uncomfortable. Juan communicated everything throughout the process. The install took 3 days because it was a lot of work. Juan was familiar with our cameras and helped me with the setup process which I'm very grateful. Juan also found a faulty line from our internet provider reducing our speeds tremendously. I had previously complained to our internet provider and had a tech of theirs come out. Although I was paying extra for faster speeds, I was no where near it. OUR NETWORK WENT FROM 32mps to 660mps. I also learned they are part of the install network so basically if you have BestBuy install your system they call them but you pay 2.5 times more. We couldn't be happier with Castro Concepts. They exceeded our installation expectations and more importantly gave superior customer service. I strongly recommend them if your looking for an HONEST and hardworking company. Our family is Happy and Safe. read more

Castro installed some ethernet ports throughout the house. They were very professional and great communicators the whole time, and worked with me even though the attic was difficult to work in, and my location was super remote. Would recommend, pretty much the best around when it comes to low-voltage installs! read more

Before moving in I really wanted to get a small sized server rack to put all my network equipment and NAS inside to make a clean setup. Initially I was just going to do straight direct connections to the wall to plugin with a switch but I figured I might as well do a cleaner setup. I needed 6 drops to be installed with shielded CAT6a cable. They did an awesome job and finished in 2 days and did their best to minimize holes in the walls with the limitations they had due to semi concrete master bathroom floors. Thank you Juan! read more

So glad I found Castro Concepts! This company was able to come to my home and quickly diagnose the multiple problems I had with my CCTV system. We agreed upon a plan to fix everything and bring my system to a perfect working order. Their prices were fair and the work was done quickly. They fixed the multiple shoddy workmanship issues from the original installation and my system is working flawlessly now. In addition, I asked if they could reinstall my Wi-Fi extender nodes to boost my signal throughout my home. What a huge signal difference when you have "The Pros" do it! I have incredible Wi-Fi everywhere. Even my backyard! So, if you are looking for reliable, competent, trustworthy and knowledgeable experts in this field, look no further than Juan and his crew.

am more than happy to write a five-star review for Castro Concepts, a local gate company owned by a father and a son. In fact, I am thrilled to do so because of the excellent service and exceptional work they provided. I had been struggling with a gate that had been nothing but problems for a long time, and I had been turned away by several companies who claimed they couldn't fix it. That's when I decided to call Castro Concepts, and they were able to come to my rescue. From the moment they arrived, I could tell that this was a company that took their work seriously. They were professional, knowledgeable, and confident in their abilities. They assessed the situation and provided me with a detailed explanation of what needed to be done to fix the gate. They were able to get the job done quickly and efficiently, and the results were nothing short of amazing. My gate now works perfectly, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I would highly recommend Castro Concepts to anyone in need of gate repair or installation. They are a family-owned business that clearly cares about their customers and takes pride in their work. Their prices are fair, and their service is exceptional. If you're looking for a reliable and trustworthy gate company, look no further than Castro Concepts. They deserve every one of the five stars I'm giving them! read more

Castro Concepts demonstrated the perfect blend of professionalism and friendliness. They acted as advisors, not just as contractors. All I knew was I wanted cameras installed in my home. I had no idea where to place them or which type to choose. Ever patient and friendly, Juan, and his right-hand man, Johnn, helped me figure out what would work best for my home, answering all 1,001 questions I had thrown at them. They worked fast! And, more importantly, they were TIDY and CONSIDERATE. Many contractors leave their work areas littered with tools and trash, but these gentlemen kept everything organized. I appreciated them for taking extra lengths to respect their surroundings. I could tell they took working on someone else's property seriously. If you're looking for a quick and easy surveillance camera install with friendly and responsive service then look no further. Castro Concepts will help you protect your home/business. read more

I called for an estimate to install security cameras. They provided the estimate. I agreed to the estimate. They cancelled the installation when I questioned the higher than expected down payment. It seems highly suspicious. I was informed that they wanted 24% down. I was under the impression that the downpayment for contracted work in California should be 10%. I did not get an explanation, just informed that they could no longer do the job. read more

Juan and John are simply amazing. I wanted to install a camera system that I bought from Costco. Initially, I thought I could install it myself, but after doing some research I decided to contact Castro Concept. I spoke to Juan and he was very professional and informative. They day of installation Juan explain everything to me and let me know that the wires that came with the camera were not long enough for a two story installation. He charged me very minimal for the additional wires and did a great job concealing the wires. I just got a call from Juan a week later to check on the installation. Once again thank you Juan. I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

Bought a security system off of Amazon that included 8 cameras and a hard drive. Got the system installed in one day and all the wires were nicely tucked away and hidden from view. The price was good and the employees were friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend to friends and family and would use again for future needs! read more

We had purchased a system and were unsure of our next steps. Juan came out gave us his advise and an estimate. I have to tell you Juan and his son over delivered. I had some questions, concerns as anyone would have when you don't go with the big name company. The work that was done, the care and time taken to make sure it looked good, met our expectation and worked before leaving was above expectation. If you are even considering doing cctv instal you have to give them a call they wont disappoint. read more

I called Juan regarding an estimate I needed for a camera installation. He responded quickly and gave me the best price out of 5 different installers that I called. When he arrived, he was ready to work and even went above and beyond to fix my broken cabinet that was not a part of the job. Overall Juan is a very hard worker, and a great person to be around. read more

So happy I stumbled across Juan, he was amazing to work with and made everything seamless. Definitely would recommend Castro for your CCTV needs! read more

We recently moved to a new house. The previous owners had wired the house up with video cameras, but the system was a mess. These guys came out promptly, spent hours on their first visit trying to unscramble the mess we had been left (and weren't even going to charge us for it!), then came back for a second appointment to finish the job. They kept me from having to buy a new DVR like I thought I'd have to, fixed the terrible connections the cameras had that were causing them not to display reliably, fixed a power supply issue, and did so many other things for us to get this system working properly. They were friendly, really took their time getting to the bottom of every problem rather than going the easy route and suggesting we spend tons of money on a new system, and really showed they knew what they were doing. Strongly recommend these guys and will definitely use them in the future if we do eventually upgrade our components. read more

My hard-wired internet access point stopped working, resulting in no WIFI signal in part of the house. I called Castro Concepts, thinking they would simply install a new access point and issue resolved. Instead, the team from Castro Concepts first starting troubling shooting my network. They checked to ensure the ethernet cable connection from my router to the access point was working, check. Next they tested the hub (yes I used a hub not a switch) to determine if the hub was working, bingo. My loss of WIFI internet was not my access point, but a bad hub. Not being a network guru, the team could have easily sold me a new access point, re-wired my house, and oh throw in a new switch for good measure and I would not have even known the root cause. I appreciate the professionalism, honesty, and integrity of Castro Concepts. The are my new #1 experts to call on all things WIFI internet networking related. BTW, they also install security cameras, home alarms, and more. Highly recommend them for all your network needs. read more

I just got a 6 camera wired Lorex system installed by these guys and their work was nothing short of impressive. At first I was a little reluctant to pay more than I expected for installation but by half way through the install it was worth every penny. Juan and John knew every security system, answered all my questions, were friendly professional and did a very impressive job wit the installation. All the wires were concealed and they spared no extra effort by climbing on top of the second story roof to run wires neatly with the solar line to ensure the wires were not visible. These two guys set the standard for what professional security camera installation should be. Could not be happier that I found them and hired them and they could not have done a better cleaner job than they did. I would absolutely recommend these guys to anyone who wants a quality professional security camera system installed. read more
