The worst possible experience you can imagine. Spent over $300,000 on a home AV system with Josh and Project Automate.

Responsive, knowledgeable, with thoughtful options. Engaging Project Automate for our safety, security and whole house entertainment was a wise decision. Designing, programming and installation of cameras, gate controls, security and whole house entertaining has left us with an improved sense of safety, knowledge of our surroundings and audio-visual ease. Well done Josh and associates.

I had some equipment questions. Josh was extremely helpful in explaining what was happening within my system with little detail from me. He knew exactly what happened.and explained it in layman terms. The solution, replacement of my sub. Not a bad thing, cause know I go Bigger. Thanks again Josh for insight and help. Even though I am a couple states away.

Project:automate is a great all around solution for tech challenged people like myself. I definitely needed professional help in integrating all my devices and they were professional, reliable and thorough. Excellent one stop shop in this complicated electronic world.

Josh was outstanding. When we didn't have the remote to opperate the box, he showed us how to order one from Amazon and didn't charge us for the service call.
