They have the experience to identify, unify, and communicate both the deep heart and story of a brand, and the visual elements, typography, etc. that will take it to the next level. They've done lots of award-winning work for brands around the world and for local, community driven organizations and companies. Truly the definition of a local business with heart while also maintaining international caliber design chops. Did I mention I'm a fan? They rule.

We had three mac and pc computers and a printer go down on our business shortly after being fixed…read moreby a local repair company. So we bit the bullet and followed our accountant's advice. We hired the certified consultant he recommended, Mintz InfoTech [MIT]. The rate seemed high and I dreaded dragging in our components to a storefront (and probably not getting back a power cord or whatever during the return). But we need our machines to be fast and secure or we lose our clients. Within four hours of our call, Marc sent us the most polite and knowledgeable tech I've ever encountered. He went through a detailed checklist and discovered problems both big and small, fixing most on the spot. We were educated on why our system security was vulnerable, and why the wifi was so slow. He set up an automatic backup, even cleaned up the screens and keyboards. The charge was for exactly 1 hour and 45 minutes.He also took away a failed drive to recover data we'd thought was lost forever. Two days later, we were given back nearly every file, and the charge was less than we'd been quoted by a data recovery expert. Now we have MIT on speed dial.

When our church's equipment began to become noticeably unreliable, we made the long overdue…read moredecision to replace it. We had a 25+ year old system that had been fixed, tinkered with, and hacked together to keep all the parts running, wires hidden behind walls, and over-all, not the easiest project to "go-it-alone." Our board of directors wanted the cheapest option, naturally, so we priced parts out piece-meal, and several volunteers promised they knew what they were doing, and would install the system. Our initial quotes of $21,500 started to escalate as soon as we called the vendors, as hidden fees started to be tacked on, and sales reps kept trying to bamboozle us with "you'll need this piece of equipment as well," or "no, you don't want that, you want this." Finally, I had enough, and went to Lesmen's, and I am so glad that I did. They quoted me $25,000, which initially was met with resistance by the penny-pinchers on our board, questioning why their price was higher than on-line sources. Here's what we ultimately got that we didn't factor in: 1.) We got exactly what we needed, and nothing more, but more importantly, nothing was over-looked. Every cable, connection, and component that we needed was installed in a matter of two weeks from evaluation to installation. 2.) Nobody thought about the fact that we needed an electric crane to install the speaker arrays. Lesmen's did! And they rented it in the included price. 3.) They're expertise knew exactly how much electricity each component would require, and they worked with us on placing each piece to run on the right circuit breakers to avoid having to hire an electrical engineer to upgrade one box, or potentially risking overloading a box had we done it ourselves. 4.) When, not if, issues arose, they were on site, and knew exactly what the issue was, even when it was human error. 5.) Their installation included a three-hour training session with our staff, so each member of our team knew exactly how to operate each piece of equipment. 6.) Piece of mind. Not only did they assist in fine-tuning the system to ensure it sounded great for our first Sunday service, we also know that if anything goes wrong, they are right around the corner, and will be more than happy to assist in fixing any problem we may have. Don't be fooled by on-line pricing. It doesn't include the much needed human touch.

I have posted numerous POSITIVE experiences I've had supporting local businesses from great…read moreservice, this was not one of them. As a local consumer, and business owner, I have dealt with the public before and believe me I have had plenty of bad experiences with clients and positively resolved numerous issues from my business. This was my 1st time trading with Lesmens. It was our 50th wedding anniversary and we needed a speaker and microphone. There was confusion at the facility we chose and weather they had just a mic or speaker. A couple of days prior to the event, the speaker and mic was resolved by the event facility. I called Lesmens to inform them that their service was no longer required and requested a refund. I did sign Lesmens contract for the $150 rental. The answer was no as the 48-hour contractual notification time had expired. At this joyous moment in my life, reading the fine print was not high on my radar. I appealed to their greater conscience and suggested we split the charges as I agree some of it was my fault. The response was still no. I realize business needs to make a profit, but for something so minor as a $150 charge I felt it ridiculous. I will definitely pursue other local venues for my electronic requirements in the future. $150 is a small price to pay for service, in comparison to the REPUTATION that goes a lot further than the measly profit on this order.

They have a rule where no one is allowed to fraternize (hook up) with coworkers, but the management themselves do it anyways. I've seen firsthand that there is no HR department in this business, but management pretends that there is by posting a fake email in response to negative reviews. Speaking of reviews, this business is constantly encouraging employees to post fake 5-star reviews on their website so that more people apply for a position. This company is a total joke. Only apply here if you are a total idiot that wants to waste their life working for a terrible company.

Time to update and state that, five years later, this company remains as good as it gets. First and foremost, they don't bullsh*t. When you call/message/text/stop by, they're going to be realistic about what they can and cannot create, and you'll get a realistic ETA. Second, the product always shines. I've ordered everything from banners and signage to printed materials and stickers, it's all very, very Good. And third, this is my favorite aspect of the biz: they're amazing community partners. Over the years, they've provided plenty of materials and support to local businesses, most evidenced by so many restaurants that proudly posted their un-gender-specific bathroom signage that, honestly, couldn't be better stated. Just wash your hands, and then call this company, you won't regret it.
