"Working with Jason was one of the best decisions we’ve made for our home. He listened closely, understood what we needed—even when we didn’t know how to say it—and somehow brought it all to life. The design is beautiful, the layout makes every inch count, and the added privacy and comfort have changed the way we use our space. Every guest who visits asks about our bathroom. Jason’s team was respectful, thoughtful, and truly cared about our comfort. We felt taken care of every step of the way."

Jason and his team were respectful, professional, and a pleasure to work with. He communicated clearly, worked quickly, and made us feel completely taken care of from start to finish. Even our dog, Pepper, looked forward to seeing him—which is saying something. We now feel safer, more connected, and genuinely at peace in our home. Jason gave us more than just security—he gave us confidence, comfort, and a better way to live in our space.

I typically don’t leave reviews, but the results of our kitchen and security system upgrade left me absolutely stunned! Jason and his crew were originally referred to me by a friend, just to upgrade our builder-grade countertops to quartz and add some additional lighting around the kitchen and dining room. But after seeing how quickly he responded, completed the estimate, and then finished the entire job in less time than expected—I didn’t hesitate to bring him back for a full revamp of our security system. I can’t say enough about how fast, efficient, knowledgeable, friendly, and trustworthy Jason and his team were. There were times I couldn’t be home, and I had no issue giving him my garage code to access the house. That kind of trust doesn’t come easily, but his clear communication and professionalism made it feel effortless. 10/10 would recommend—without hesitation!

After returning from a holiday trip to discover a water leak and mold, we were overwhelmed. We knew we’d have to gut and rebuild both our bathrooms—and the thought of going through all that was daunting. But working with Jason turned what felt like a nightmare into something truly beautiful. We started with a small bathroom remodel, and we couldn’t believe what he created in such a limited space. We asked for something elegant and unique, and he gave us just that. The black shiplap walls, white accents, and subtle color in the artwork make it feel bold but calm. We never imagined black walls in a tiny bathroom would work—but Jason’s vision proved us wrong in the best way. Everyone who visits asks if they can take pictures. The master bathroom and closet remodel was even more incredible. The way the space was used, the added privacy, the open shower, the way the lights shift throughout the day—it’s hard to describe how thoughtful every detail feels. We especially love the heated floors and being able to get ready in the morning or wind down at night with the lighting and sound set just right. We feel more relaxed in that space than we ever did before. Throughout the entire process, Jason handled everything. Permits, planning, contractors—we never had to chase anyone down or wonder what came next. He worked around our schedules, even timed things so the messiest parts were done while we were out of town. His team was always kind, respectful, and careful to minimize any disruption—especially important since I (Donna) work from home. There was never an issue with noise or access, and the house was always clean and ready when we returned. What really stood out to us was the care. Jason and his team didn’t just do the job—they looked out for us. He made sure we had a functioning bathroom throughout the process and went out of his way to make everything feel seamless. We’re already working with him again on our entryway and living room, and we’re hoping to bring him back for the kitchen and back deck next. There’s no one else we’d trust with our home now.

When we first met Jason, we thought we were just upgrading an outdated security system—but what he delivered was so much more. Years ago, we invested a small fortune into a Unifi camera system, along with a handful of Ring cameras around the property. Over time, they became frustratingly unreliable. The internet barely reached our detached building—which serves as Tim’s home office and workshop, and my personal gym—and the connection was so poor that I couldn’t even use my Peloton or treadmill without interruptions. During our walk-through with Jason, I tried to demonstrate one of our exterior cameras, and it wouldn’t even connect. When it finally did, the feed was blurry and useless. We felt anything but secure. Jason didn’t just fix it. He gave us the setup we didn’t even know we needed. He updated our entire Unifi system, installed new PTZ cameras, upgraded the controller, and expanded coverage through the house, my gym, Tim’s office, and even the entire outdoor space with mesh antennas. Everything now runs smoothly, and the connection is flawless. We were even able to return all the AT&T mesh equipment and simplify our service—saving us money every month. Tim runs a small business from home, so security and reliable connectivity are critical. Now, he can check in on the property from anywhere, and the system just works the way it always should have. And I can finally work out again without the frustration of dropped connections. It’s made a huge difference in our daily routines. But what made it all so special was something we didn’t expect. Not long after the install, one of the new cameras caught Tim teaching our granddaughter to ride her bike without training wheels. It wasn’t planned—we didn’t even realize it had recorded. But that clip is now one of our most treasured memories. We never would have had that moment if it weren’t for Jason’s thoughtful design and technology. He and his team were respectful, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Jason communicated clearly, worked quickly, and made us feel completely taken care of from start to finish. Even our dog, Pepper, looked forward to seeing him—which is saying something. We now feel safer, more connected, and genuinely at peace in our home. Jason gave us more than just security—he gave us confidence, comfort, and a better way to live in our space.
