Carolina Custom Security & Sound

Description of Work: They upgraded our sound system and monitor our home.

Description of Work: Apparently has enough business as they do not do well with following up on obtaining new business (multiple individuals at company). Wanted to use them but if they can't return calls after saying they would then they do not want my business nearly enough.

Description of Work: Installed Samsung HDTV and Sony receiver.

Description of Work: Outdoor speakers for front and back porch (we bought speakers from them) TV hook up Installed Sonos Bar and programmed for both porches and main TV

Description of Work: Comfortable sales interview, efficient analysis, rapid detailed pricing.

Description of Work: Carolina Custom Security came recommended by my insurance agent, and I called for a quote. The person who came out, Tim Crisp, was very current on technology and we discussed installing two separate systems with large flat panel TVs. He worked with a contractor to modify a cabinet to install a mounted articulating arm for one TV. In addition to the two systems, they also upgraded the installed alarm system.

Description of Work: They installed my sound sysytem in my home 10 years ago. From time to time I have had to call them to come back out. While their work is fine and the price seems to be OK,( not great but OK) each time I have had trouble getting them to show up. Four days ago I called about our stereo/Ipod interface not working. Purchased it from them and they installed it. I told them we were having a party saturday and, if possible, would like to have it working by then. They told me they would make that notaion in the file and someone would be in touch. Its Friday and no one has called. This isn't the first time that I have had to make mulitple calls to get them to come out.

Description of Work: greater than greater than For some reason there is a glitch in making this report--I cant copy/paste... tried over and over. So some redundant info. Initial consult-- Do: Check out the competition. Don't: Use an independent company that sells security products--I practically had to throw the guy out that worked for and ADT system which I will report on later. Do: press them for quickest service if you want it because they will listen. Do: if they aren't listed on Angie's List get referrals. Don't: pay more than you have to for the service. Women are having systems installed more often now and these companies are most def price gouging!!!!! This is my second time using this company. The builder of my home in Mt Pleasant SC, Daley/Sawyer, and I believe Pat Iderton, use this company on their new homes. My first experience at that home built by Daley/Sawyer was around 12 years ago. They were great to work with. We had a security system but actually never even used it. This company also does sound/audio and built in vacuum systems and we used the vacuum (nice!!) but not the speakers (nicely mounted and well placed). Today I am posting a review of my initial experience with Carolina Custom Security based on my initial experience. So far Michael Baynard gets an A+. He was very professional. He even fixed a broken casement window by my front door! When I get my bid and if I use the service again, I will repost on the rest of the experience. Their monitoring rates are 25.00/month, billed quarterly--as stated by Mike Baynard. I already have a pre-existing wired security system in my condo but it in non-functional and really old. So my bid for installation he said would probably be around 200.00--however I am having them do a few extra things security related that may increase the rate. They are also going to put in a wireless system at my daughter's apartment on IOP. They don't have a landline and their cell phones are always off/on. They don't need a land line. The cell phones don't have to work.
