Background & First Impressions
After shopping around and receiving quotes from 10 different vendors on Yelp, I narrowed my list down and scheduled free in-home consultations with five of them. Artem at UniCore was one of those five -- and ultimately the one I'm glad I chose.
Timeliness
Artem was prompt and professional from the very first interaction. He responded quickly to my initial Yelp inquiry, kept up with all of my follow-up emails, and showed up right on time for our scheduled appointment. Reliable communication is something I really value, and he nailed it.
The Project
My basement was a disaster -- a tangled mess that desperately needed someone who knew what they were doing. The scope of work included:
Full cable management and cleanup
Installation of a new server rack
Wiring the home's ceiling speakers to a Sonos amp
Pricing
Artem quoted me a fair and transparent rate of $150/hour for labor. Considering this covered two technicians -- Artem and his partner working in tandem -- the value was excellent. No hidden fees or costs, no surprises.
Outcome & Final Impressions
I couldn't be more pleased with Artem and his partner. They worked diligently and efficiently from start to finish, and went the extra mile by going into the crawl space to make sure every detail was handled properly -- no shortcuts.
What really stood out, though, was Artem's craftsmanship. He approached the job like an artist, handling every piece of equipment with care and precision. He took the time to listen to my needs and offered honest, straightforward, professional advice -- without ever trying to upsell me on services or gear I didn't need.
If you're looking for someone who's skilled, trustworthy, and takes genuine pride in their work, I can't recommend Artem at UniCore highly enough. I'll definitely be reaching out to him for any future projects. read more
