      Gabe Ewing del Rio's Review Sourced from Google

      We brought them a $25k starter project and they wouldn’t even give us a proposal. They only want large government contracts that should probably be done with some other company who will do so more efficiently, and save all of our tax dollars. The representative was nonresponsive and offputting. Snobby.

      Our team has had a great experience working with this crew. They’ve helped us through a big tech upgrade — installing new cabling, setting up a Meraki system, and helping us transition to a cloud-based phone system. Everything was done cleanly and professionally. They also continue to support us with our Microsoft account and day-to-day tech needs. Super helpful and easy to work with!
