We were looking for a company to install a home security system recently. After being persuaded by stellar reviews on the Guardian Security website, we called and scheduled a consultation appointment. The day before the scheduled appointment, we received a call asking us to reschedule. We did and when the company representative finally arrived to our home we discussed what we felt we needed. After a brief discussion we agreed on a plan and the representative promised to email us with a quote within the week. We waited two weeks and then called to check on the promised quote. Voicemail was left and another two weeks passed with no email. We tried to speak to the representative three times total and never received a response. Extremely disappointing. What a joke this company is! Look elsewhere.

He seemed to ramble a bit, and his stories were usually only slightly related to the topic and more of an opportunity to pat himself on the back. This last time I had Aaron as an instructor. We went to their sight, instead of them coming to us. He was very informative. A great presentation, really knew what he was talking about. Explained everything very well. He told stories from his current job, which is as a fireman in Kind County. He was well prepared, he brought his own great dummies. He was a very informative, charming, polite, useful instructor. I highly recommend him. The only down side was parking. We parked on the street, across from the place. In street parking with out a limit, in front of a little mini-mart. But still street parking. The grumpy owner of the mini-mart was complaining about the people from the class parking in front of his store, I heard him complaining when I stopped in for an iced tea on our break. He went over to Alpine and complained to them and we had to move our cars. I thought it was ridiculous, since it was unmarked or limited street parking. If that hadn't happened I would give them 5 stars. Great instructor, crummy parking, but useful information in the class.

Everything went very smoothly from start to end with Nissen and Associate. McKenzie, the office assistant, responded to my inquiry promptly. It was easy to set up an intake appointment with one of their tax preparers, Michelle. I dropped off my tax documents with Michelle. She emailed me with a couple of questions before finishing up my return. I swung by the office and signed a couple of documents to authorize them to file taxes on my behalf, and that's it! Painless! Because Michelle was able to give me a great discount, I paid significantly less than I paid H&R least year. I only interacted with McKenzie and Michelle, but they are both friendly yet professional. I loved that I never felt rushed or they never tried to upsell anything (like other companies I mentioned above). I highly recommend Nissen and Associates! If you end up using their service because of my review, don't forget to mention Masanori sent you!

We looked at my wall colors and she gave me her opinion as I was on the fence. Within a few days, Daphne sent a detailed quotation including several options as I wasn't sure which way to go. The quotation included information on the lifetime warranty, US-made product, and Costco Shop Card (which is truly awesome!) We made our decisions on color and styles and were able to pay/place order online. Daphne came back out as soon as the blinds were received and even managed to squeeze us in despite the busy holiday season. I should mention Daphne was personable, efficient, and extremely professional as I remembered her and her meticulous attention to detail when she installed blinds for several projects at our previous home. The installation was done quickly, maybe less than an hour. The blinds look amazing. I would rate Shade Concepts 5 stars all the way!
