I found Bay Area Tech Hero while searching for a network specialist to install Ethernet wired…read morebackhaul in our older (1950s-60s) home that had been renovated but still lacked proper networking. Since they seem to handle a lot of corporate-scale installations, I initially wondered if my project might be too small--but that concern disappeared pretty quickly. The team was already very familiar with Ubiquiti systems and was incredibly patient working with me despite my fairly basic understanding. They walked me through the tradeoffs and ultimately recommended stepping up from mid-range equipment to more professional-grade options. The reasoning was clear, the cost/benefit made sense, and at no point did I feel pressured--just well-advised. The actual Ethernet installation work was top-notch--smurf tubing, recessed (not sticking out!) enclosures, and everything. The level of craftsmanship and attention to detail is honestly beyond what I would normally expect (or even feel comfortable demanding from contractors). They went above and beyond without being asked, and the cable organization is immaculate. Huge thanks to Justin and John for their precision and quality of work, and to Jim and Rodrigo for their thoughtful recommendations on equipment and access point placement. If you're looking for a team that combines technical expertise with professionalism and genuine care, I'd absolutely recommend them.

We didn't hire Bay Area Tech Hero - so we cannot comment on service quality. The reason we didn't…read morehire this team was primarily due to pricing. The quote we received for 3x cable runs was 400% more than the team we hired, and that team said their pricing was "average pricing." We also were quoted the highest end hardware, which would have been excessive for our needs. If you can afford to shop around and the timing of your project allows, we highly suggest shopping around!

I first went to my local T-Mobile store in Novato and received no assistance. No consolation and no sympathies. I was devastated. Then I traveled to the T-Mobile store in San Rafael at the Montecito shopping center. I couldn't have been more well taken care of. These fine young folks calmly and kindly assured me that the soul of my phone could be restored. And they offered us a wonderful promotional deal and my husband was able to procure many new devices to add to our family at little to no cost. Although my phone today looks a little different, it is resurrected and just as good as it was before. Thanks to the help of the fine folks at the T-Mobile in San Rafael!

Intelletrace is not for everybody. However, if you have a company where your business model depends…read moreon connectivity or better yet unique connectivity - then Intelletrace will soon be the smartest thing you've ever done. Intelletrace is a telecom/network engineering company, by the way. They work on telecom systems, which is much of their bread and butter, but my experience with them is on the networking side. Don't take this to mean that networking is a sideline for them. My company is a data center. Our network connections are complicated, requiring redundancy and what is called BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) management. Intelletrace designed the network configuration, acquired the equipment, worked with the internet providers to bring up the circuits, and they now manage the day-to-day status of the network. For us, they are a critical part of our business infrastructure and we could not feel more confident. When working with Intelletrace, try to be humble. You may think you know a lot about networking, but even if you do, letting them have their heads to do the design and deployment will serve you best. You can use your expertise to vet their plans at which point you will see why I recommended letting them have control. They work on enterprise systems every day and they have seen what works and what does not. This is priceless experience that is hard to come by. Of course, if you are looking for a network engineer on Yelp, then my thinking is that you probably need them more than you realize (-:
