"I am normally skeptical about surveillance companies. I have not always had great customer service. I feel that once the product is installed, you no longer matter to the company. However, that was not the case with PL2S. Not only are they knowledgeable, but the finished product, the clarity, and customer service stands above the rest. The team was appreciative of the business and it felt like a true partnership. Job well done, and I would definitely use them again should the time come. Thanks."

Our family-owned-and-operated business is ready to get any of your home improvement projects done, quickly and efficiently. You'll have fully trained experts that are ready to provide you with complete exterior and interior remodeling services that will take your home to a whole new level. Additional DBAs - Muncey's Maintaince & Home Improvement, Andrews Muncey Maintenance. Additional contact name - Andrew Muncey.

"We hired Mr Muncey based on his FB page and that he lived close by. We had a roof problem over a screen porch which had caused water damage to the soffit and some of the wood under the roof. We had hired 2 other people previously to fix it but both times it started having problems again. A couple of people thought it was the gutter so we had the gutter in that area replaced. We explained all of this to Mr. Muncey and he promised that his roof repair would solve the problem once and for all. We also had him clean the gutters. I did something I have never done before and didn't get an estimate for the work. We were so impressed with him and his "spill" we just told him to go ahead. When he gave us the bill I was shocked because his workers only worked a couple of hours. I assumed they would replace some if the wood decking and more extensive work on the roof. I also felt the charge for gutter cleaning was excessive since I usually paid $50-75 for that. I told him is was much higher than I expected but the only thing he did was say he guaranteed it would not leak or he would give me my money back. I asked him to write that on the invoice which he did. Several months ago I noticed the ceiling to the screen porch had a very bad leak. I was not on that porch often especially when it was raining and due to the natural beadboard color, the area of the leak was not noticeable except during an active rain at which time is was dripping badly. So I have no idea how long it had been leaking.I hesitated for a few months about contacting Mr Muncey because I don't like to complain about someone's work. I think this is the first negative review I have ever written. I wish I had seen the one's on here before I hired him. I have gotten estimates from about 3 well known roofers and all of them and the building inspector said any roofer should have known that the roof's pitch was too low to be repaired as it was. After I discovered how much it is going to cost to have the roof and the ceiling to the porch fixed, I finally sent him an email explaining the problem, pictures of the damage, and the invoice that stated money back guarantee.. I did not ask for any compensation but did hope he would honor his warranty. Not surprising, I never heard from anyone from the company. I noticed he has not responded to any of the other negative reviews on here which is meaningful also. I actually hired someone from Angie's list due to a negative review because I was impressed that the person took ownership of the problem and didn't try to make excuses.Hopefully I have learned my lesson and others will learn from the reviews."

Smart home system install or services FAQs

There are lots of advantages to home automation and potentially a few drawbacks. Smart home systems improve overall convenience and can help to optimize energy consumption.

Pros:

  • Monitor energy and water use

  • Improve home security

  • Increase resale value and potential

Cons:

  • Not all brands are compatible

  • Subscription fees for monitoring services

  • Wireless systems may be vulnerable to hacking

Home automation can control an array of different aspects of your home, including:

  • Interior and exterior lighting

  • Alarm and security systems

  • Door and window locks

  • Pool, hot tub, and steam bath temperatures

  • Home theater systems and speakers

  • Phone and internet lines

  • Yard irrigation

  • Thermostats

  • Shades, blinds, shutters, and curtains

  • Turning off or lowering water heaters and HVAC functions

  • Detecting water and gas leaks

You should install a wireless system for DIY installs. They’re more budget-friendly but have weaker security. Wired systems cost more and often require a professional.

Security is the biggest difference when it comes to wireless and hardwired setups. Wireless systems are prone to interference and hacking. Hardwired systems are less prone to interference and are exceedingly difficult to hack, as there's no wireless signal to intercept.

For most DIY home solutions, you'll need Wi-Fi. Hardwired systems cost more and may require extra cabling but don't need wireless internet, except for offsite cloud storage and remote control. If you've created a local area network, no internet connection is necessary—even a hardwired one—unless you're accessing a remote service. Some controllers, particularly those for wireless systems, do require an internet connection, so check before you purchase.

Synchronizing systems means your devices will activate or deactivate according to certain conditions. For example, you can set your coffee not to brew if your thermostat is set to away. If your alarm clock goes off, the shower can change to your desired temperature. Different brands may have trouble syncing with one another. Fortunately, hubs like the Wink Hub cost about $50 and ensure your systems work harmoniously.

Data security depends on your provider. It's best to ask your service provider or company for details on how they keep it secure. The most secure form of home automation is a closed, wired system air-gapped from the internet. It would require a hacker to come to your home to steal data physically. If you have concerns, it's worth speaking to a data security specialist before installing a smart home system to take all necessary precautions.
