Jake Barker

Jake and his team were great. I asked him to come by and advise on how to setup our 2 story house for wired ethernet to support solid wifi in every room, wifi outside in the yard, and security cameras with local storage. I had setup my previous house by myself using a Unifi system (recommendation I found by wirecutter), so I knew exactly how much work this could be (and how many weekends it would occupy me). This time around I wanted to get help from someone who knew what they were doing and could do it much faster :). Jake was the right choice! He came by, quickly advised on a system (also recommended unifi), was very cool about re-using some of my old equipment, and honest about what would work well (and not) about some of my choices. He never pressured me and his quote was reasonable. Last: Jake was really on top of equipment availability which -- given current supply chain situation -- is not trivial for a lot of electronics. On the day of the job, he and his coworker showed up and dove right in. They were unintimidated by crawlspaces or attics, and found a way to get wiring to every place I wanted it with a super clean finish (and I'm really picky about the way that contractors finish jobs). We ended up with one minor drywall patch in order to make one of the runs down from the attic but -- given that we ran almost 1000ft of cat6 into 8 different rooms -- I was very impressed. I've been using the system for about 2 months now and am looking to have Jake and his team back to add more cameras.
