    Bottom line: Darren did an excellent job installing 7 ethernet ports and moving an existing cable port at a fair price. I will hire him again! One of the best home improvement investments I've made. My home WIFI has always been spotty. Work productivity suffered. Streaming and gaming stalled. I bought expensive WIFI routers that didn't help much. I upgraded Comcast to max speed and enjoyed a fraction of it. For years I said I would install ethernet ports but kept putting it off. Don't be like me and get it done now by hiring Darren/Spectrum7. I called Darren and he gave me a fair quote over the phone per port (parts & labor included). We set a date within a week. He arrived with his tools, I showed him the rooms and the attic, and he got to work. It was a big job but it only took the day to finish, including my separate ask to move an existing cable port nearby. My family now enjoys the maximum speeds we were paying. Think of how important it is to have reliable fast internet. It's one of the best home improvement investments I've made and I wish I did it 10 years ago. I will hire Darren again once I figure out which wired security video camera system I want to invest in.

    This was our second time hiring Darren to do some network wiring for us, this time in a different house. Darren is fast, neat, reasonable and comes up with viable solutions to address awkward situations in existing buildings. He did such a nice job on our first house that we didn't even hesitate. We just immediately went back to him and we were not disappointed. Darren is our go-to guy for network issues.

Mike said his guys knew their stuff through their experience with all sorts of installs, but I think he should have also advertised their level of effort. I went over the plan with the guys assigned to the job - Matt and Robert. They helped me tweak it in line with their professional opinion, the reality of the install, and how hide the ethernet runs. To my surprised, they offered to and spent the extra time to create runs inside a smaller attic to mount two of the cameras to leave no visible wiring to the device. Check the pictures for a few of the installs. I've given the cameras a few days to soak test against high load and moderately toasty temperatures outside (Lower conductivity and high data traffic to challenge the install.). So far it has worked pretty darn good on the first go. Beyond the install, Mike and the team respected my decision to acquire and manage my own cameras, poe switches, and VMS. They didn't attempt at all to make any sales pitches but did offer to help me acquire cameras if I needed their assistance to do so. I appreciate all of this because I know doing this kind of work for a residential building doesn't provide the best returns for a business and many have stopped offering wired camera install services - including the low voltage installers for my home! On top of that, they do this at a very reasonable price.

I had been without a working TV for quite awhile, and Samsung was scheduled to come mid-afternoon today. I was really hoping to be able to watch the 49ers game at 5:00 PM. Josh dispatched Eric and his helper (his delightful and very capable spouse), and they stayed until after 6:30 PM on a Saturday night making sure everything was perfect. They didn't just mount the TV -- they handled all the moving parts: getting the Samsung and Xfinity remotes working correctly, restoring soundbar volume control, troubleshooting connection issues, and reconnecting my Apple TV. Eric's communication was excellent throughout the day and the whole experience was beyond my expectations. Afterward, I looked at their website and realized how many different services they offer -- and that's their edge. You're not hiring "two guys who can hang a TV." You're hiring people who actually know how to make the entire system work together. Before you go with the cheapest estimate, consider everything beyond just hanging it on the wall. This team is worth it. These are the people I'll call every time.

When we moved into our home, we were told we needed to update our electrical panel, and Alex took the time to walk us through the scope of work and exactly what would be required, at a very fair value. As first-time homebuyers, escrow and the home sale process were incredibly stressful, and Alex was truly compassionate, patient, and understanding throughout the entire process. While we did need to obtain a permit through the City of Folsom and contact SMUD ourselves, Alex handled every other detail seamlessly, even when my husband and I had a million questions. Our project was a bit more complex, and we really appreciated that he consulted another electrician to ensure everything was done correctly and with precision. The work was completed in one day (aside from the stucco work), and we enjoyed working with Alex so much that we asked him to come back to help with additional electrical and general handyman projects, including safely removing items from our walls before painting. We honestly couldn't have gotten through this month without him! We're not done with our home projects yet, but now we have someone we can always call and trust. Thank you, Arsunda!

Due to a clerical error, our HR team mistakenly submitted the installation request as a residential job instead of a commercial one. Despite the mix-up, Alexei handled everything with patience and professionalism. He worked with us to ensure the billing was corrected fairly and even gave us a generous deal to account for the estimate mistake. The installation itself was flawless thorough, efficient, and incredibly detailed. Alexei went above and beyond by patching up several wall holes at no extra charge, which speaks volumes about his integrity and pride in his work. It's rare to find someone this skilled who also genuinely cares about the customer experience. If you're looking for someone to install security cameras-whether for your home or business-Alexei is the one to call. Choosing him was one of the best decisions we've made, and we now understand why his company comes so highly recommended.

Going forward, I'll hire him again for more Ethernet networking and security camera installation work. I recommend him! Update 2025-12: I had Vince return for ethernet fixing and security camera installation and he did a phenomenal job. We discussed the different locations for the camera to determine their trade-offs.

He did an amazing job installing the camera. Will definitely work with him in the future. I recommend him without reservation.

While I appreciated his input during the design phase and his work ethics, the mess on a couple of camera installs has left a completely bad taste. When the pre-wiring was done for the security camera, I don't know why the pre-wire had to be right next to the light. Jacob apparently thought that it was going be a sconce - but communication is important. Don't assume - if not sure, ask. So his pre-wiring would be fine if it was a sconce but definitely not OK for the flood light. Even after that happened, I knew that there is no way the camera would fit. And I told him that it would be OK to have the wire come down and then mount the camera below the light. I was really surprised when he told me that he was able to fit the camera and the light. When I checked later, I was shocked at what was done. Not only the floodlight jammed into the camera doesn't look nice, it also cuts off all the light to that side of the house. When I mentioned this issue, he offered to fix it but at this point I don't know how one fixes this since there are additional holes drilled into the siding and the rock that would be visible to make the thing even worst. I certainly did not expect this level of goof up when you pay a professional to do a job. One other thing to add is that when the pre-wiring was done, he kept talking about using toning to figure out the location. Fortunately, I had taken pictures to help with that - otherwise I think he would be spending a lot more time to figure out the speaker locations. This was my time getting a home built - so I did not know what to expect but I would that a professional would know to take some good pictures/measurements so that the finish phase is easier.
