Gizmo's installed a complete home automation and entertainment system in my home and on the outside property more than 10 years ago. Over the years Gizmo's has installed additional equipment and updated other equipment as technology changed and improved. Gizmo's and the systems they have installed are fantastic. They are extremely professional, friendly, competent, and capable. Whenever I have a question, I send an email and get a quick response. The few times I had something that needed to be fixed, they promptly came out and remedied the matter. Whenever I was going to have new third party equipment installed for security systems, awnings, shades, etc., Gizmo's provided information and assistance so that the new equipment worked well independent of and in conjunction with the equipment installed by Gizmo's. I could not be happier. Greg, the owner, is a wonderful person who takes pride in the company he founded and is always personally available to help. I cannot imagine retaining anyone else for home automation and entertainment needs. You should definitely place Gizmo's at the top of your list when looking for a company for your home automation and entertainment needs.

Gizmo was hired because our prior AV team built us a terrible system and were awful about fixing. Gizmo came in and said, this is exactly what we need to do and what it will cost --- and then made it happen. They are honest, knowledgeable and helpful. I wish we had hired them in the first place. Since then, they have come in and updated our systems and troubleshot over the phone, over the internet and in person. Each time, excellent service.
Description of Work: rip apart old system and rebuild. then adjust and add as requirements changed.

Home Automation projects can be daunting. Which system to choose and finding companies to stand by and support the system post initial install is a real challenge. I have been supremely happy with the Gizmo team. They actually stepped in and helped us fix the mistakes of our initial installer (a different company) and have consistently been there as we have expanded the system with multiple TV's, AppleTV's, WiFi, Lighting and beyond. They are responsive, finish on budget and go the extra mile to make sure the work is done right. They get an A+ from me!
Description of Work: We needed someone to step in and get our Control4 home automation system working right after an initial installer failed to complete the work, so a high degree of difficulty in fixing someone else's faulty setup. We then used Gizmo to further expand the project.

We have been under Gizmo's care for 13 years now. They have set me kids up in their apartments as well as kept our home system, Network, and security cameras running and up to date. They are always responsive, and reasonably priced.

I recently purchased a new house, but the original Control4 dealer who handled the installation ignored me for several months. Then I was referred to Gizmo, and the difference in service was remarkable. Greg’s team always responds within 24 hours, and Tyler is a lifesaver who explains issues clearly. Although their services are not cheap, their excellent service and integrity are worth every penny.

I have been working with Gizmo for many years. They are Creative in building new systems (Huge or Small systems), solving complicated old systems that are not working, getting them back up and running quickly. Gizmo is always at the cutting edge of Design and Programing. Their technicians are trustworthy, experts at hardware and software, create clean assemblies, and leave the work area pristine. Gizmo is not a set and forget group, they know your system and stick with you through all the evalutions your system goes through. State Of The Art, GIZMO.

I recently encountered some technical issues at my home, and fortunately, Gizmo came to the rescue. Their service was nothing short of outstanding, and I'm compelled to share my experience. From the moment I placed the call, Gizmo's customer service impressed me. They were attentive, understanding, and genuinely seemed invested in resolving my issue promptly. Within just three hours of my call, a technician Tyler arrived at my doorstep, ready to tackle the problem. Tyler was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly courteous and professional. They took the time to thoroughly assess the situation, explaining each step of the process to me in a way that was easy to understand. Their expertise was evident, and it instilled confidence in me that my tech issues were in capable hands. What truly sets Gizmo apart, however, is their commitment to customer satisfaction. They didn't just fix the problem and leave; they ensured that I was completely satisfied with the resolution before they departed. Their dedication to going above and beyond expectations is truly commendable. Overall, my experience with Gizmo was exceptional. From their prompt response time to their exemplary customer service, they exceeded my expectations in every way. I wholeheartedly recommend Gizmo to anyone in need of reliable and efficient tech assistance. They've certainly earned my trust and loyalty.

Gizmo has been servicing the home entertainment system in my unit for the past few years. I’ve been nothing but impressed. Greg is very responsive, organized, and on the ball. He has made appointments for me in a timely manner, explained the necessary steps for the service request and done everything he can to accommodate my schedule. James is a wizard. He has been in the profession for almost 20 years and knows electronics like the back of his hand. He is patient and truly knows what he’s doing. Both Greg and James are extremely kind, respectful, and professional. I highly recommend Gizmo to anyone looking for a custom home system.

Years ago a company built out our A/V system. To say that they screwed it up would be an understatement. Hired Gizmo to review/fix/upgrade and they did an excellent job. Subsequently they came in to install TVs, troubleshoot WiFi, help us connect other devices... They have been OUTSTANDING. Some of the troubleshooting was handled via email or messaging. Other work has been in person. Fairly priced, always crystal clear about what our options are and friendly. I'd hire them again in a second.
