Installation was quick and easy. They even mounted 2 TVs for a discounted price.
Description of Work: We just finished building our dream home and were in need of a security system. Jesse and his team offered what we could not find elsewhere; the total package of customer, honesty, and quality in the home security business. We were tempted to go with a big box place or one of those Do It Yourself systems. They all have flaws. Big box places advertise a price that does not include "fees". You are sold 25 bucks a month but it really means 40 bucks and that's only for a promotional period before going up to 60. Jesse and Lynx were very upfront with their services and pricing. We also had some trouble with delays in the build process and Jesse was available through text message and calls to reschedule appointments that fit both our time frames better. I now have a security system that is top of the line backed and supported by a local CT company. Don't fall for the traps of the big guys. You get more with Jesse and the Lynx team.

Excellent!
Description of Work: We built our dream home, 4,000 square foot contemporary. We researched multiple vendors for our security system as well as cameras. Price was the most competitive but what got us was the phenomenal service and extras we got. We ended up going with the Hide-A-Hose product which we absolutely LOVE! Jesse is great and always available to his customers. I can call him at 8a.m. or 8p.m. and always get a response. You don't get service like this anymore!

When looking for a home security system, I was sure we would go with a large, national chain because they instilled a level of confidence since this was their major product. However, after speaking with Jesse, my mind was changed. When you are a customer of Jesse's, you aren't just another account. He gives out his cell phone number and actually answers/responds when you call. Through our interactions with him, we know we are truly a valued customer and we appreciate that. His team is very punctual, reliable, professional, and knowledgeable. Jesse's company includes app access and installing through a cellular line rather than a landline without charging extra--which is something the larger, national company doesn't do. I didn't think having an app would be something that would matter, but it is so incredibly convenient to have our alarm system at our fingertips. Having the system has given us such a piece of mind we can't imagine ever NOT having one now and we are glad we went with a company who offers such personalized service. We recommend Jesse without any hesitation.

Awesome. Jesse is great. He's very personable, prompt, responsive, and very easy to get along with. He will go above and beyond to make sure that you are satisfied with his service. He is also very knowledgeable and very talented at what he does. He provided us with a very detailed written estimate on the spot (within about 15-20 minutes), giving us very fair pricing. And when he and his crew came up to do the work, they were prompt, and again, very easy to work with. Even when their work was done, when we had questions or difficulties, he was very responsive to texts and phone calls, and always returned texts/phone calls within the hour. We will be asking Jesse to help us with future projects including wiring the basement, as well as the master bedroom. He is amazing at what he does and he is overall, just a great guy. We love working with Jesse and we wouldn't work with anyone else.

I had high expectations based on what the owner said over the phone. He made an appointment to come to the house at 7:15 pm. I didn't think it was necessary because the job was pretty straight forward but that's Ok. The problem was that 7:15 pm came and went. I get a phone call at 7:25 pm letting me know that he wasn't going to make it. The problem I have is that my time is just as important as his. Then he starting playing games with the pricing. My husband and I decided to go with a different company. He could be an absolutely phenomenal installer, but I didn't see that. I saw someone who wasn't able to figure out he was going to be late 10 minutes after we has supposed to be at my house.

I was very happy with the installation of our living room surround sound system and outside patio speakers. The service was prompt, professional, and it was communicated to me to my satisfaction. I was very comfortable with Jesse, his prices ,and work. I have no hesitation using Lynx for additional work in the future.
Description of Work: I purchased from and had installed a 5.1 surround sound system for our living room. The rear channel speakers were installed flush to the wall. They also installed outside speakers on our patio. Setup included Universal remote, blu-ray player and AV receiver.

We are very happy with our service with Lynx Security System. Jesse is very knowledgeable and professional. We have been searching for a home security and monitoring company that we can trust. We talked to many companies including the big names. Most of the big name companies promise a lot, but they fall short on delivering what is promised. This is where Jesse and his team shine. They know what they are doing and still their prices are very reasonable. They installed Honeywell Tuxedo with cell communicator for me. It is one of the best systems out there. I was able to add couple of home automation stuff with Jesse's help and at no extra monthly cost (something that most of the other companies do not do). The remote app for my phone is really handy and easy to learn. Overall - I am very happy with my experience.

Jesse came on time. He will confirm the day before the appointment. He is very knowledgeable and perfectionist. He wouldn't leave the job with any mess. He does clean up after the installations. It's a pleasure to work with him.This is the 3rd time I have been using his services and products. He does a lot more to keep the home safe and secure like camera systems, (indoor and outdoor) and Home Theater installations.

How'd it go? AMAZING. That's the only word I could think of. In a day and age where trusting contractors gets harder and harder giving the work that I needed to be done to Lynx seemed like a no brainier. To begin, The price was amazing. They showed up on time or earlier on every occasion, that was amazing. The neatness and precision of their work is amazing. Jesse, the owner even went above and beyond at one point answering multiple questions about something not even pertaining to the work they were performing. I would recommend Lynx to anyone in need of a home security system or a home theater. The question isn't "would I use them again"? The question is WHEN? Thank you Lynx Security Systems and Home Theaters
Description of Work: I hired Lynx Security Systems and Home Theaters on 3 separate occasions. My first time dealing with Lynx I had a home security alarm installed in my home. The second time they installed a home theater with full surround sound in my basement. The 3rd time (which is definitely not the last time going forward) I purchased a gorgeous flat screen which they hung on my bedroom wall making the room look great.

Jesse, owner of Lynx, was very professional and took the time to go through all of the options and point out the higher rated products. He made the process easy to understand and was not trying to sway me one way or the other. He left the decision fully up to me, and agreed to begin the work immediately. He was prompt and professional all the way from start to finish. The prices are very reasonable and will vary based on what you want. The finished product is amazing and I would recommend him to anyone else looking for a great product at a great cost. On top of TV's, surround sound, & security systems, he also does security cameras, Central Vac, basement theaters, projection screens, and a number of other things. Lynx is 100% fully insured, which gave me the peace of mind I wanted. With the wide variety of services Lynx provides, why look anywhere else? Hands down, I would recommend anyone to give Lynx a try.

Lynx Security and home theaters provided me with such an enjoyable experience! They were extremely professional and did terrific work. My schedule is very hectic so they were very accommodating in working around times that were convenient for me. Unlike most other companies, they are extremely easy to get in touch with and always return phone calls. I thought the prices were very reasonable and highly recommend them to anyone looking for similar work to be done in their home.
