Sharif and his team went above and beyond to help onboard our business. From running cabling to mounting hardware, MTC ensured that our business was fully operational before leaving. MTC came out for an initial site survey and was in contact with us during every step of the install. We were provided photos of all the drops, the cabinet, even above ceiling video of the wiring. I highly recommend them to anyone. read more

Spoke with Sharif over the phone and he helped me troubleshoot over the phone. I'm so thankful!

Highly recommend Sharif! Here's why: - Delivered Results - wired my new turn-of-the-century house with a Ubiquiti Wifi network and surveillance cameras. I'm now awash in high speed internet (critical since both my wife and I run our respective businesses fully virtually from home). - Went Above and Beyond - I'm a neat freak. Luckily Sharif is too. Sharif and his colleague Mike made sure cables were tightly run and barely visible. They went so far as to help me remove all the defunct coax running around my house too. - Responsive and Conscientious - Sharif is prompt over text and email (rare with contractors!). He also came back to replace my malfunctioning NVR drive and troubleshoot my G4 doorbell at no extra cost. read more

I have a complex smart home and sophisticated Ubiquiti network. Sharif is the only person I trust with it. After having spent money with others who spent hours and hours and 1000s of dollars that only caused more problems, Sharif is always the guy to call to get things done right. read more

Needed to run ethernet and setup our wifi in our old house (1978). I wasn't 100% sure exactly what to run, Sharif worked with me on a few different options (he was super responsive too!). When they came out to do the install, the crew was awesome, super courteous, worked hard and did a good job. A few hours after they left, I found a minor issue, Sharif texted me with some debug steps and offered to come back early the next day to fix it (Saturday morning). It wasn't that big of a deal so I asked him to come during the week (no prob). The install looks really crisp, better than I could have imagined. Highly recommended! I had a few quick questions come a week or two after the install and Sharif helped me right away. read more

Backstory - My house is wired for Ethernet and has external cameras, however when we took possession, the builders left us a bundle of empty wires and no direct access to the cameras. Enter Mr. Tech Chicago - Sharif responded very quickly to my initial request and was out the next day to get an estimate together. The estimate was great and he even offered some ideas that I loved and ended up agreeing to! He and his team were able to come out and install everything the same week as well. They finished within 3 hours and everything worked perfectly as it does to this day. I'm really considering having him come back and hide my speaker wires in the wall. You really can't go wrong with Sharif! read more

I had a simple issue with my WiFi system and rather than tell me the scope of work was beneath what contracts he takes on (which is entirely acceptable) he tried to con me into rewiring my entire house to the tune of several thousand dollars. This guy is a con artist and when you dig more deeply into his history and how the company came to be you'll learn there's a rather seedy backstory. Definitely steer clear of his methods and money grabbing schemes. read more

I definitely recommend Mr. Tech, especially if you have a security camera installation need, which was the scope of our project. Reasons I felt Mr. Tech is deserving of the 5-star review: Responsiveness: When I first contacted Mr. Tech for a quote, Sharif replied within hours and was onsite to check out the job site within a few days. He responded super fast as we exchanged messages finalizing options and contract details. After finalizing the contract, he had me booked on the schedule for the following week. Customer Service: Sharif and Mike were great to work with. They showed up on time. They kept me apprised of status throughout, and made sure to explain to me what they were doing and then how to navigate the cameras software. They cleaned up and didn't leave a mess behind. And when we had an issue with one of the cameras several days after installation, he came right back out, determined it to be faulty camera, and he replaced it right away and checked all the others as well. Quality Results: They got the cameras up and running within the timeframe they estimated. They were able to use an existing rack that housed our internet equipment to add the switch and NVR, and kept everything looking clean and organized. This included labeling all then cables and ensuring they were neatly run throughout the building to the cameras installation points. Overall, I feel great about the work Mr. Tech provided. Met my requirements with high quality at a fair price. And it really does have that "personal touch" feel to it where I'm confident that if we have any additional needs or issues, Sharif would not hesitate to address. I'd certainly use him for again for my camera / networking related needs. read more

I sent in a request for setting up a new home for wireless networking on a weekend. Even though it was a Saturday, Sharif was prompt in replying and asking questions so we could sort out the details for a quote. He took care of procurement of all equipment and made quick work of the installation. The network setup is incredibly clean as he managed to fit most of the equipment in the data panel (hidden away from sight). Last, he explained everything clearly on the apps to control the network. So far there have been zero issues. I highly recommend him. read more

When purchasing our new home and setting up our rooms, we found out that our office didn't have an ethernet plug in. We contacted Mr. Tech through Yelp and he quickly replied and discussed what would be needed. Sharif and Mike came out, identified the problem, and were able to quickly find Cat 5 wiring in the walls and provide us with a direct ethernet outlet. They were quick, efficient, and the cost of their services were reasonable. Highly recommend, for even the smallest of jobs like ours! read more

Had Sharif and Mike wire and install for outdoor internet and repair some old shotty work from a previous installer. Top notch service, always communicates quickly and is super tidy in his work. Also helped me walk through upgrading an access point virtually at 8pm on a Sunday night. Mr Tech Chicago comes highly recommended! read more

We live in a three story house + basement so our internet connection with just one router + eeros around the house was extremely spotty. Connections would constantly be unstable and some rooms were unusable. Thus, when we wanted to install security cameras around the house, we needed to fix our Wi-Fi connection first. Mr Tech came in and explained in detail what they wanted to do (install a dream machine pro and have access points connected to it). This has made a world of difference. They helped us buy the equipment for retail price + any discounts and installation was efficient. They then installed all our ring cameras, doorbells, motion sensors, entry sensors, keypad, and alarm. Everything works perfectly - our Wi-Fi connection is speedy and stable and our security system gives us peace of mind. read more

I didn't end up working with Sharif, but I'm still giving him 5 stars because of my experience with him. Sharif drove to my house (in heavy traffic) to do an appraisal for a project, and during his visit he suggested an alternate plan that would be much, much less expensive, and wouldn't require me to hire his services at all. In my opinion, that speaks volumes for both his integrity and his professionalism. If I need any future work done that's in Sharif's wheelhouse, he will be the first (and only) person I'll be calling. read more

Used Sharif to install 8 Unifi Protect cameras, 6 indoor Unifi APs and associated network for my single family home in Ukrainian Village. His work was done with high quality and has since provided ongoing service as needed. I would highly recommend! read more

I reached out to Sharif about improving our wifi coverage and getting ethernet in our home offices. We did a walkthrough the same day and had an estimate in my inbox that night. Sharif was able to fit me in two days later (on a Saturday) before my drywall contractor was scheduled to patch and paint. He and Kam upgraded us to Cat-6 cabling, set us up with a UniFi hardware system, installed wifi access points with ethernet ports on all four floors of our townhouse, and installed wired cameras for our garage/alley. Everything just works now. We were hoping to have a doorbell camera installed, but they're back ordered. Luckily Sharif is keeping me updated, and I will definitely have his team install that once they're in stock. Highly recommend! Solid work, creative solutions to unexpected problems, and highly communicative. read more

Sharif and his colleague did an outstanding job on our house. They installed a network with a base rack, 5 new ethernet outlets and 3 new mobile centers replacing the AT&T router that we had. They had to drills holes in the house on the second and first floors. They did an excellent job of hiding all the wiring as much as was possible, and it's all quite unobtrusive. The signals are great. Couldn't be happier. read more

I needed to install two Ethernet drops in an older home. Sharif responded to my inquiry immediately, walked me through my options, and scheduled an appointment for the weekend. He is professional, timely, competent, knowledgeable, and responsible. He and his assistant technician wore masks at all times while they were in our home. I would highly recommend Sharif to anyone looking for in-home data cabling or wi-fi installations. read more

We recently had Sharif do a complete rebuild of our home network and the experience/outcome couldn't have been better. We'd been having problems for weeks and I could not get timely support from our legacy vendor (Custom Residential). Sharif responded to my reach out within minutes, came after his workday to review our issues and was in our home 72 hours later doing all the work. Since his visit, we've gone from having constant issues to having no issues. He took time to explain everything to us and has followed up with me several times since the visit to make sure everything was functioning property. If I could give Mr Tech 6 stars, I would! read more

I needed to add wired internet to an older home (1906) since mesh wireless has been failing probably because of plaster walls, etc. Sharif (Mr. Tech himself) came out a couple days after initial contact and walked the house with me and developed a detailed plan and scope. He then went right to work ordering the equipment (easy deposit through Venmo) and came out a week later with two other guys and did a fantastic job on the install even doing an audible after feedback from me during the first install day. I couldn't be happier with the communication, the equipment choice, and the execution. read more

It was basically a hole in the wall when he got here. But the time he left, it was a full-on IT closet. All of the TVs are connected properly. Wifi hot spots are in place. It's secure and ready to scale when I'm ready to add a camera. If you want a professional set up, this is the way to go. Now that it's done, he can troubleshoot it remotely. It's basically an office-level tech stack at home. Very responsive. Gave us lots of options. Labelled everything. Didn't change the network name or the password. Went above and beyond. Cleaned up before he left. read more

Sharif did an awesome job on setting up my home network with Ubiquiti Unifi products along with cameras. Very knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommend! read more

Sharif and Mike do fantastic work. If you are looking to have the best WiFi in Chicago go with his enterprise grade solutions. They are built for big homes or people who really care about having a high quality connection. Sharif has been supportive after his work was completed in maintaining my network and with other random issues (unrelated to his work). He has done so for free and gone above and beyond. read more

Had Sharif come by to run an Ethernet cord to my office. Had a plan of action and executed it to perfection. The install was super clean and he also showed me a few other things around the house. Not only is he really good at his job but he's also just a really nice and reasonable person. Very professional and would hire him again in an instant. read more

Mr. Tech set up my network and was done before I knew it. He treated my home like it was his own and I've been looking but I can't seem to find the wires. It's that clean. Insanely clean. The best there is. I feel safe leaving early in the morning because the cameras are placed perfectly and I love telling Alexa to turn the lights on. I can change the channel with my iPhone! See my cameras with my phone! I can make coffee with my phone.. I called another company for a quote and they wanted double. I almost want to buy a new house so that I can hire him again. read more

If you are looking for a solid, trust worthy WiFi installer look no more. Sharif is a gem when it comes to installing WiFi systems, security cameras and anything network related. He and his team installed a Ubiquity system at our church that included 6 access points, 7 camera and 2 separate racks that span a 2 building campus. His team is down-to-earth, friendly and completed the job within the timeframe quoted. We were very particular on cable runs, cable managment and keeping the aesthetic of our church unaltered while adding long overdue upgrades to our WiFi and camera system. Sharif was upfront and has gone above and beyond since the installation to help remotely resolve any issues we have had at no additional cost. If you are a tech savvy person, but want the extra ease of mind of a professional to install your system look no further. This is your classic "mom & pop" quality company. read more

Sharif did a great job of adding an Ethernet cable drop in my very old home in the least invasive way possible. I also appreciate that it was a clean install and he left my network hub area in much better condition than when he arrived. I'm sure I hired him for something that was super simple relative to his abilities, but I appreciate his promptness and professionalism. After the install, I ran into some connection issues and he was very generous assisting me via text message. read more

First time using Mr. Tech and we had such a great experience! They were really helpful with updating our computers and very knowledgeable. Will definitely be using Mr. Tech for future IT services. read more

My husband and I got several quotes from other companies. Many of them would question our wants and needs in our new home and overall swept our needs under the rug. However, we met Sharif- Sharif found creative ways to do what we wanted in our home during our first free consultation. We hired Sharif for a full wiring, rewiring and a full-blown build-out at a town home in Chicago. Took his team a single day. Multiple cameras were involved and moving wires around the house. We personally recommend only using Mr. Tech Chicago for any low-voltage needs and networking needs. We do not believe there is a better company in the midwest. His company is built on communication and customer service and that goes a long way in the overall project. Every step of the way we had communication and no hidden fees. My husband was running very late to the airport and Sharif actually even gave him a ride, how's that for customer service? Sharif will now be the only company we go to in the future for low-voltage needs. read more

Sharif did a wonderful job hard wiring our condo for internet. Customer service couldn't be better. He was skilled, efficient, and provided competitive pricing for the services he provided. Even followed up with us immediately when the internet went out briefly. Couldn't be happier with this business. read more

Sharif is awesome! He helped me install and configure my home networking equipment (Ubiquiti) complete with cabling, a server rack, setup, tutorial on how the stuff all works, etc. He is prompt, friendly, thorough, and treats your home like it's his. I cannot recommend him enough if you have any sort of technology needs. read more

Great service, response time, communication and reasonable rates! We had the best experience with Sharif from Mr. Tech. He was professional and gave us excellent customer service. He answered when I called, discussed our problem and advised us of the best solution. We purchased the recommended materials and a few days later Sharif came and set everything up. He tested it and even stayed longer than expected to make sure everything worked properly. In addition, he was available for follow-up questions a few days later. It's difficult to find his level of service and care these days. We will definitely use him again and we highly recommend him to others needing IT help. read more

David was a lifesaver for my small office! Super fast, reliable and personable. Literally spotted an ongoing problem in my office within the first ten minutes of arriving. After crying on the phone with tech support, calling Mr Tech made my problems go away in a matter of hours. Cannot recommend enough! read more
