The person said to make it easier he would need to drill some holes to help hide the wires. He asked if we had paint and said he could patch it. Next thing you know we have a 5"x5" hole in our fireplace along with holes in another wall. The patch was left unfinished. He said he had a paint brush initially and then later said he didn't. Pretty sure he was using a paper towel. Then told me I should paint it in an hour. Called their office and Nikki told me their team doesn't do paint or patching...ok. Why say you can? She couldn't tell me when someone would be back out and never called me back. So we have a mounted tv but now we need a professional painter to come fix the botched patch. Not to mention I spent 30 mins cleaning up after they left.

Second only to their homes. I'm well aware of the exacting standards needed. The self discipline needed and the attention to detail and care for details needed to restore someone's prized luxury vehicle. Those same standards apply to working in or on someone's home. My previous reviews explain how I met Jake at Barker Tech. This is a new review with new perspective. It's been over two years since I paid Jake and shook his hand. In those two years Jake has reached out 3 times to check on my home and his work. It just seems to be how he is. In those two years I've reached out with some admittedly stupid questions and each time he's addressed my concerns without any snark or down talk that some techie guys use when speaking to plebes. I needed additional home tech stuff and naturally I reached out to Jake. His response was timely given his work load and he immediately offered elegant solutions to an inelegant problem. (Someone in my neighborhood is actively using my gravel yard as a dog pit stop and leaving me nasty surprises ). Jake offered some very clever options up to and including an outdoor speaker paired with my existing camera system (that he installed ) to politely ask the offending dog owner to remove their dog waste. Ultimately my wife vetoed the idea of me having the ability to leave audio messages for bad neighbors. But Jake's suggestion of an upgraded new camera with AI facial recognition and a wider field of view was perfect. Within a week Jake personally came back and upgraded the camera thus negating the one small blind spot the offender had been using. He kept his word. He sent me tutorials and worked with me not even being home to ensure that I was 100% satisfied with my upgraded surveillance view before leaving. Setting standards and holding yourself to them are key to excellence. Keeping your word and delivering what you promise are key to excellence. But. Excellence isn't derived from robot like adherence to guidelines. It's a combination of many intangible things. It's rare these days to encounter true excellence in almost any field. Jake at Barker Tech is an excellent example of excellence in action. Trustworthy. Reliable. Professional. Meticulous. Passionate. Informed and informative. Personable and Diligent. I'm a client for life.

Our home has an older AV system installed years ago by another contractor. Over time, the system became outdated, complicated, and the contractor became harder to reach and increasingly expensive. My wife and I separated several years ago, but she still lives in the home and has always struggled with the universal remote and the setup's complexity. Recently, she called me in distress because she couldn't turn on the television in the living room. Under normal circumstances, that would be a small inconvenience. But my wife is currently battling stage-four ovarian cancer and only has a few months left. All she wanted was the simple comfort of sitting on the couch and watching TV. I called Jake and explained the situation. Without hesitation, he said he would come take a look. The next day, he and one of his technicians, Wilson, showed up and spent over an hour patiently troubleshooting the system until they got everything working again. When the work was finished, I asked what I owed him. Jake said there would be no charge given my wife's condition. I was honestly taken back. In a world where it often feels like everything is transactional, Jake chose compassion instead. This wasn't just good service, it was humanity, and I'll never forget that kindness. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about his clients and takes pride in his work, Barker Tech is the real deal.

My wife and I recently bought our first home. It's an old home so we had a budget to do some needed renovations upon moving in. I found Micah Electric Co. on Yelp and reached out to him for said renovations because he was local, I liked his website, and we share a first name! I'm really glad I did. My wife and I really enjoyed working with Micah and his crew. Micah was very warm and helped us as first time homeowners navigate what work to prioritize given our relatively small budget. I also want to highlight the Micah Electric crew. All of his electricians were very nice, respectful and professional. My wife and I (and our dog) bonded with the crew over the three days they were working on our property. The scope of work ranged from doing some additional electrical code-work around the house (installing GFCI receptacles, capping 2-pronged outlets) installing a few light-fixtures and removing all the knob and tube from our attic. We're really happy with the quality of the work. Lastly, I want to highlight again how much I appreciated Micah advising us on what work to prioritize. We ended up doing more work than we thought we would (we took out all the knob and tube from our attic!!) but that's great because we also managed to stay around what we had initially budgeted for the project. I always felt like I could email, call, or text Micah with questions or concerns I had about the project. We hope to work with Micah Electric again in the future and I'll always wave at his crew when I see the Micah Electric Co. Van around the neighborhood. read more

Micah and crew upgraded our electrical service to 200 A. The installation was nontrivial due to the proximity of the gas service equipment.

Jose was prompt, communicative and was able to fit us in for a full day's worth of work with a week's notice. His rates are reasonable and he was very matter of fact about items that should be trivial to do myself. This was refreshing compared to other electricians we spoke to, who were very quote happy! (For example, he mentioned that we could update some halogen recessed lights to LED simply by simply replacing the lightbulbs at $5 a light - other electricians blindly suggested replacing all the lights instead at about $150 a light!) Initially when I asked for his help running a motion sensor to a driveway, which is controlled by our somewhat unusual (but popular in the 80s...) low voltage lighting system, he was one of few electricians who actually took the time to understand the constraints of the system and accurately scope out the work required. I had him help run wiring and install some ceiling and outdoor speakers in our kitchen and deck and the work looks great. He also suggested placement of additional power sockets that will help tidy up wiring when we wall mount a television and install an A/V receiver. Additionally, he was able to fix two broken power sockets with minimal intrusion, which my wife is very happy about! Looking forward to having Jose back again for more electrical projects that are next on my list!
