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.

He quickly figured out what was wrong with our existing setup, moved us over to fiber optic, and simplified the entire system so it is easy for us to use. The difference has been huge. Our internet is now incredibly fast in every room of the house, and everything finally works the way it should. Jake went above and beyond throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend him highly enough for anything AV-related in your home.

After contacting Doorbird directly, they referred us to Jeff and his team, and I can see why. From the start, Jeff was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. He came out to assess our setup and thoughtfully recommended a Doorbird solution that would meet our functional and aesthetic needs. Jeff even coordinated the fabrication of a custom stainless steel faceplate with Doorbird to seamlessly replace the older system. His team handled everything--from removing the old Aiphone unit to installing the new Doorbird system, connecting Wi-Fi, and updating the indoor intercoms. The work was clean, efficient, and done with care. If you're looking for someone reliable and experienced to upgrade your building's intercom or entry system, I highly recommend Hipontech.

He was extremely knowledgeable and thorough in understanding what we needed, and his recommendations felt thoughtful and honest rather than pushy. He took the time to carefully plan the optimal equipment placement throughout our house, and the entire project moved quickly and efficiently. The installation team was excellent as well. They were respectful of our home, kept everything tidy at the end of each day, and patched and painted the wall holes from the installation. They were also incredibly quiet and unobtrusive. There were times we practically forgot they were even working in the house. Once everything was finished, Aleksandr walked us through the system and made sure we understood how to use everything. We also compared quotes with another company, and Vrumix was not only more affordable, but also more thorough in what they recommended and delivered. It's rare to find a company that combines great technical knowledge, quality work, fair pricing, and genuinely good service. We're extremely happy with the result and would absolutely recommend Vrumix.
