I called Joel to hardwire my new house with Cat6e cable. I wanted 5 rooms in a two story old house…read morewired with two drops per room to the garage and he said no problem. He did tell me that he doesn't work with 6e, only Cat6 because its harder to run, which I was ok with. He quoted me by far the cheapest rate for the work of the others that I requested a quote from which was amazing. Joel was a super friendly guy and extremely professional. He told me that he retired from AT&T and is doing this to earn some extra income. He was also local. He spent two days wiring the house. There were a few odd routes here and there, and there were more outside runs than I would have preferred, but it worked out well. He also did leave a few holes in the walls that he forgot to fill in, left some tools and some small messes (drywall bits, dirt) that he forgot to clean up, but I didn't mind since they were easy to clean up. Also, not sure if this is common practice, but he used wall staples to attach the cable at places, which seems to be stressing the insulation. One of the rooms also only had one drop instead of the two that I asked for. 9 drops installed in 5 rooms for a total for $1,350 at $150 a drop for my house. Ultimately, everything tested great on my 2.5 Gbps network for a few days. However, after a week I only started getting 100 Mbps on one of the drops to my office. I called Joel and he told me that he would come run a new drop. On the day that he was to arrive, he was a no show. I finally got a hold of him that night and he told me he had contracted pneumonia which was a totally reasonable excuse! I reached out a few months later and he said that he was recovering and was planning on starting up again in the summer. I ultimately decided to see if I could fix the drop myself with the help of youtube and the tools he left behind. I found out that the issue was that he had nicked a wire at the termination at the patch panel he installed in the garage. Using the punch tool he left behind, I repunched the termination and got full speeds again. Overall a few minor mishaps, but the price was right and again, he's a great guy. I wouldn't hesitate to use Joel again.

I was…read moreshopping for either DIY or professional install of security cameras -- for no particular reason at this time. And I only planned to have cameras installed after some work that was scheduled to be done on my new house. I reached out to Eyal of Protection Now via Yelp a few days before the escrow closed on my house. Eyal spent an hour on FaceTime as I showed him around the house to discuss the number and location of cameras needed. The house seemed untouched when it was filled with staging furniture for weeks. Stagers removed the furniture over the past weekend. Upon my visit at the house on Monday, I noticed the patio door of the ground-floor master bedroom was unlocked. I then saw there was water all over the master bathroom floor, the toilet seat was up, the shower door was wide open, residual water inside the bathtub basin, AND there was a lighter on the bathroom counter. Moments later as I was measuring the room, I noticed a partial footprint on the window sill and dirt smear on the side wall of the window. Of course, I called Eyal immediately. He speedily set in motion to get my cameras installed the next day. When Eyal and his team arrived on Tuesday, Eyal made a much-appreciated authoritative suggestion to me to also install an alarm system. They completed the installation of both security cameras and many alarm sensors in one day. Ernesto made sure the apps were set up correctly on my iPhone and patiently gave me a tutorial of the NVR functions. Everything was fully operational by the end of the day. All were done timely and within my budge to feel so much safer. Thank you, Eyal and team of Protection Now!

We inherited a complex system, but Eyal made sure that we could work with the system instead of replacing the entire thing (like most national companies had suggested).

Ernesto was also a phenomenal tech and took detailed steps to ensure that our security system was up and running smoothly. At a time when many companies cut corners and try to upsell customers, Eyal is a breath of fresh air. We would heartily suggest working with Protection Now to everyone!
