DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I have been trying to contact our representative since March, and have…read moretried to contact HSE multiple times with no answer every time. I have been double charged for months and I want to prevent that from happening to anyone else. I would like to formally file a complaint regarding my experience with Home Security Experts, an ADT Authorized Dealer, and specifically Sales Representative Jesse Soltelo (Dealer License #12352). My family originally purchased ADT equipment and monitoring services through Home Security Experts in November 2024. We had no billing issues and were satisfied customers until we moved residences in March 2025. Prior to our move, I contacted Jesse Soltelo to discuss transferring our existing ADT service and equipment to our new residence. During that conversation, I was informed that rather than paying the approximately $200 transfer fee, he would cancel our existing service and enroll us in a new account with new equipment and services at our new address for no cost. Based on those representations, we proceeded with the new installation. On March 20, 2025, I received a DocuSign contract for the new installation. The agreement reflected an installation fee of $99; however, I understood that amount would be waived, and the documentation indicated a balance due of $0. Despite this, we were subsequently charged the $99 installation fee. I immediately contacted Jesse regarding the discrepancy. He acknowledged the issue and informed me that the $99 charge would be refunded. To date, I do not believe we have received that refund. Shortly thereafter, we discovered we were being billed for both the new account and the account associated with our previous residence. I again contacted Jesse and asked whether the prior account had been canceled as promised. Rather than responding via text message, Jesse called me and stated that he was unaware we were still being charged for the previous account. He assured me that he would take care of canceling the old service. When no resolution occurred, I followed up multiple times. After additional conversations, Jesse acknowledged that we should be refunded for the months we had been charged since our move and confirmed both our previous and current addresses. However, despite those assurances, the issue was never resolved. Following those discussions, my messages began going unanswered. Eventually, my text messages no longer appeared to deliver, and I was unable to obtain any further updates regarding the status of our account, cancellation, or refund. As a direct result of these failures: * Our previous account was never properly canceled despite being represented as canceled. * We have continued to incur charges for monitoring services at a residence we no longer occupy. * We were charged for two ADT accounts simultaneously. * We were charged a $99 installation fee that we were told would not be owed. * We have spent significant time attempting to resolve this issue through the salesperson who originally handled our account. * We are now receiving repeated collection and billing calls from ADT regarding the account associated with our previous residence. The most concerning aspect of this situation is that we relied on the representations made by your sales representative. Had we been informed that the original account would remain active or that we would continue to be contractually responsible for both accounts, we would have handled the move and transfer process differently. Instead, we followed the guidance provided by your representative and are now facing months of duplicate charges, ongoing collection activity, and concerns regarding potential damage to our credit due to an account that should have been canceled when we moved. I respectfully request the following: Immediate cancellation of all ADT services associated with our previous residence. A complete investigation into why the prior account was not canceled as represented. A full refund of all monitoring charges incurred on the previous residence after our move date. Review and reimbursement of the $99 installation charge that we were advised would be waived. Written confirmation that any delinquency, collections activity, or negative reporting associated with the prior account will be corrected and will not impact our credit. A written explanation of what occurred internally and why this issue remained unresolved despite multiple communications with your representative. I have retained screenshots of my communications with Jesse Soltelo, call records, and supporting documentation regarding the installation agreement and account activity, which I am prepared to provide upon request. I have been double charged since MARCH OF THIS YEAR. I sent my original email back in May with no response, due to lack of resolution I will now make my family's experience public. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I would give zero stars if possible.

I highly recommend Alan and Watch Dog Security! I spent a lot of time researching alarm systems and…read morecontacted a good number of companies to find someone who could update my 25-year-old home alarm system while integrating both new wireless sensors and my existing hardwired contacts into a new cellular control panel. Only one other company, which was not locally owned and was more expensive, had the skills and willingness to build and install the type of system I wanted. Alan was fantastic from start to finish. He was responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and very transparent about pricing and monitoring options. There were no high-pressure sales tactics or gimmicks, just honest guidance and quality work. He completed the installation promptly, took the time to teach us how to use the new system, and even checked in afterward to make sure everything was working well. I appreciated his straightforward approach and the quality of the work. I would definitely recommend Watch Dog Security to anyone looking for a reliable local alarm company.

I hired Arsunda to demolish an existing concrete section, pour new concrete, and install a…read morebasketball hoop. I sent the hoop installation guide before receiving the quote, and the quote was presented as a set price covering materials, concrete, and labor. Several things went wrong. The old concrete was not fully removed as I requested; only the top layer was broken off before the new pour began. The pour was then split across two days. When I raised concerns that this would create a weak cold joint, I was told the contractor was booked the next day. I had to press for him to return the following morning, by which point the first section had already hardened. To keep the job moving, I roughened the cured surface and spent about three hours mixing concrete myself before he arrived. Throughout the job, he also relied on my own utility cart and tools rather than bringing his own equipment. The bigger issue was cost. Midway through the job, after work was already underway, I was informed that the charge would be the original quote plus the full cost of the concrete, and that the hoop installation would not be included, even though it was part of the original scope. This brought the total to nearly double the quoted price. I was also uncomfortable that video was recorded on my property without anyone asking me first. At the end of the job, the contractor asked why I hadn't hired a concrete specialist instead. That is a fair question, but it should have been raised before accepting the job, not after. My advice: get a detailed written quote that states exactly what is and isn't included, and confirm any price changes before work begins.

I told him we needed a doorbell/security camera installed, as well as a rooftop satellite dish removed. No problem. A work date was scheduled, and Vince arrived exactly when he said he would. Vince was able to integrate the new doorbell/camera so that it interacted with the existing ringer inside our home, making the transition clean and easy. The camera, as well as our ability to answer the front door from the app on our phone, were done, and everything is working well. The dish removal went quickly, and we no longer have the unsightly dish showing on our roof. Vince's charge for the work was reasonable, and the whole experience was easy enough. Hiring a new contractor for anything always comes with a certain amount of concern, but in this case, all those 5-star reviews were accurate. I highly recommend Vince for any of his services.

Two of the most positive experiences I've ever had with a professional in my life. A recent roof…read morereplacement left me with an uninstalled antenna and, if I had elected to have it re-installed where it was for almost 30 years, a voided roof warranty. Contacted OTA Communications about placing the antenna and rotor on a chimney mount. He came out, spent quite a bit of time on the job and charged an extremely reasonable fee for doing so. Unfortunately, the ancient rotor was no longer working, so I needed to order a new one and have OTA come back to install that as well. Again, a completely positive experience at a price so reasonable that I actually felt slightly embarrassed, as if I were taking advantage. This guy clearly loves his job and knows what he's doing. And it's fun to be able to have a conversation with someone who likes talking about this stuff.

Nahem gave us a fair quote, and did a great job with the installation. Lots of communication during the process (different possibilities for where to mount the cable, where to run it into the house, etc.) The antenna is well mounted to the chimney, and the cable is neatly and tightly mounted under the eaves, and the point where it goes into the house is fully weather sealed. Nahem was able to dial in the positioning so that all stations have a strong signal (even ABC, which is notoriously difficult). I highly recommend Nahem/OTA Communications.
