Several years ago, HSS replaced our existing system and this year, we had major upgrades done that involved replacing equipment and adding a new audio zone. It was our first experience working with Austin, who was patient with all our questions and handled everything with great kindness and a sense of humor. The install team included Robert, Ray, Jason and Ryan – all of whom were amazing. The group was respectful of us and our space, and they went to great lengths to do their work in a safe, professional and efficient way. Whenever we had questions about what was being done or what the charges included, Austin always took the time to call, email or come by in person to make sure all our concerns were addressed and we were completely happy with everything. The team is a model for excellent customer service that makes for happy and loyal customers like us. We know things are not always easy and we can be demanding customers at times, but in the end, Lawrence, Austin and the entire team make us feel like we matter and they want us to be satisfied – and believe us – we are! We love our Control 4 system - we cannot imagine having a house without it. Thanks Lawrence, Austin and crew for being there for us!

My experience with HSS was nothing but spectacular. I worked with Austin early on in the design phase. He was very solutions-driven, and gave me numerous options to consider. Robert did the majority of the install and training, and was incredibly professional and great to work with.

HSS designed and installed a full home automation and AV system as part of a new home construction. Throughout all phases of the project, from design/scoping/costing, to installation, to final fine tuning, I found HSS to be a great partner. They communicated clearly and transparently, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and invested in the final outcome, and are highly responsive if an issue arises. I would highly recommend HSS and their team.

The trio @ HSS are so knowledgeable , so professional completely up to date and are perfectionists. They will not quit until their clients are totally satisfied. The first product they installed just was not compatible and so they totally replaced it with a different product. They will tweak and fine tune until you are perfectly happy.

This is a very professional company and their staff is a pleasure to work with. Their knowledge of network systems and components is awesome. Their home installation work is craft. They listened to us, turned our smart home system design ideas into a detailed plan, explained it thoroughly, including component and pricing details, and put everything in writing. They never tired of answering our questions. And, after completion of our installation, their customer support and response has been superior. This is a quality company for your smart home installation or upgrade.

I own Novickys Farm, a vegetable farm in Central Oregon growing tomatoes for our local restaurants. I recently had Lawrence, Brendan and Robert of Home System Solutions out to take my operation to a new level. I wanted to have all the capabilities to remotely monitor my greenhouses if Im out of town and appreciate music outside while playing in the dirt. I initially had Lawrence out to go over all the options and he helped streamline the details so they made sense. When it was go time, the HSS team was on point, professional and very tidy! They went over all the features and benefits of the layout so when they left, I was capable of taking care of things on my own. The final product was unbelievable...Novickys Farm is set up with WIFI throughout, security cameras placed on the property and most importantly, my vegetables are thriving because they are listening to the crisp beats of Steel Pulse and other reggae legends on the outdoor speaker system. Additionally, if the temperatures in my greenhouses goes below or above a certain degree, I get a notification on my phone and I can monitor the sage rats trying to eat my tomato plants. Thank you HSS for giving me that extra peace of mind on the property and doing it up with the outdoor speakers! I notice my work is more enjoyable now with the music in the greenhouses.

HSS has now worked on three different properties that I own, the latest being my personal home. The end result of their hard work is a fully integrated lighting, audio, television, and security package that is incredibly easy to use, but very high end. They team from HSS worked diligently to ensure that the finished product is incredibly organized, well thought out, and works easily. I couldn’t be happier with the company.

I recently contracted with Home Systems Solutions to upgrade my AV system. I am thoroughly enjoying my new system and highly recommend Home Systems Solutions. Lawrence, Isaac and Robert are all most knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their products and work. I felt very comfortable following their advice. The work was performed neatly and exactly as scheduled. They have been very helpful explaining everything I need to know about working my new system and are just a text or call away should anything come up that I need help with. Again, I highly recommend Home Systems Solutions.

My entire experience with HSS has been outstanding. The objective in my house has been to optimize my listening experience while maximizing simplicity. Lawrence, Robert, Jeff, and Isaac all took a sincere interest in fulfilling that objective by listening to me to understand what I was seeking, and then offering reasonable solutions. Their professionalism, experience, creativity, and willingness to provide excellent service has left me very satisfied. They helped me choose audio equipment perfectly fitting to my space, and provided insights on sound treating my rooms that has optimized my listening experience- precisely my goal. And the thoughtful arrangement of my sound equipment maintained my clean and simple objective. This is exactly the kind of local small business that I love supporting.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Lawrence, Robert and Brendan. Lawrence helped me and my wife address our home networking needs, as well as audio/video. I was provided multiple options to meet our needs. The install was very thorough, clean and professional. We are finally operating our home theater and house audio off of one easy remote or our smartphones. Its never sounded so good! Thanks guys.

Jeff and Lawrence are truly some of the most passionate and knowledgeable home systems professionals around. We had them design and build an audio system with surround media room for our new construction that would meet our current needs and grow with us for future additions.They have been excellent to work with and have always been fair through the design process, pre-wire and full installation. Not to mention, the excellent service that continues to this day.In addition, we have been extremely impressed with their attention to detail and how seamless our system works. Plain and simple, our house rocks!I would highly recommend them.

I appreciate the fact that they have brought great technology to us and they have made it easy for us to use.Lawrence and his team are meticulous! I personally very much dislike wires.

They have have helped us with our home automation and music for both the office and home.If you are in need of new technology for your home or office from an impeccable company, HSS should be your go to!

HSS demonstrates professional service from the responsive first call to bidding to installing and follow up service. The team is patient with our integrated systems learning curve, creative in solving spatial and financial restraints. The end result is a sleek, seamless, simple to use whole house integration - media, lighting, shading, fireplace and even the doorbell! Exceptional white glove service.

Lawrence & Jeff exceeded my expectations. They did an excellent job on all elements - developing a plan, staying within budget, great communication, and took great care in working with our home. Above all, unexpected twists and problems occurred (all outside of their control), but they maintained a great, calm, can-do attitude, and got things handled. The system is insane! Thanks Law & Jeff - I would recommend you highly. Aloha.

Laurence and his team designed, built and have maintained the home network and infotainment system in our home in Bend. We highly recommend HSS. Very professional. They think and act like engineers, not rockhead contractors. Our build was very detailed and complicated. We highly recommend HSS !

Recently bought a home in Eagle Crest and wanted some improvements made to make our lives easier while were home and away. Security camera’s, smart gadget control of all our lighting and HVAC needs, home or away, and an array of music options to listen to throughout the house. Lawrence and Jeff did a great job helping us build our systems within our budget, including cabinetry work for the new entertainment center. We love our new creature comforts, thanks guys, we’ll be back in touch soon for more upgrades.

I contacted HSS to update an old system in my home. Lawrence gave me several options from working with my old system to installing a new one. I went with the new system and very glad I did. HSS fit me in their schedule and did the install while I was on a work trip. Being in the building and real estate business I see a lot of installs and they definitely did an excellent job and I would recommend them without hesitation.

Had HSS replace an AV system installed in a custom home built in 2013. Existing system plagued with issues, extremely dissatisfied. Happily all that is now in the review mirror thanks to HSS. Team is knowledgeable, professional, friendly, timely, patient, responsive, competent and basically are a fun group to be around. They even clean up after themselves!!! These guys are all Crazy Smart but can easily communicate issues in such a way to make the non-technical client comfortable. i recommend HSS without hesitation or qualification.

I hired the “guys” to update the sound system in a home I recently acquired in Bend. The house was wired but it was a mess. I converted a large downstairs room into a combination Theater room and exercise space, we upgraded the sound in my billiard room and family room and we added music options to my kitchen and several areas on my deck. Additionally we set up a Sonos speaker that could be moved wherever I wanted it. The upgrade included remote thermostat access, remote security access and remote lighting controls in the theatre room. The guys did a spectacular job of using ingenuity and technology to give me a very high quality system that I can control from anywhere at any time from remotes or from my Apple devices. I love their work, including the fact that it was all done while I was not in town. If you are looking for a cheap, low quality solution, this is not it, but if you want quality that works well and looks spectacular, these are your men. Thanks to Lawrence, Jeff, and Isaac for a job very well done.

We did an extensive remodel of our 20-year old home in Bend this past year. HSS installed an entire electronic audio/visual system in our home, including home security, lighting, 6 televisions, etc.Lawrence and Jeffs knowledge of the systems and products was instrumental in helping us decide the right system for our home. Their meticulous installation and respect for our home was a level above others.We have built 4 homes in our past and HSS (Lawrence and Jeff) are by far the most knowledgeable, professional and personable people we have worked with. They are always available to answer questions and help with our operator errors!We would recommend HSS to perform work for any high-end residence or building construction.

HSS made our home automation, audio, and video dreams come true. It is such a fantastic pleasure to stream unlimited audio and video sources to any room of our home, especially to the media room. We love the smart home Control 4 system for lighting, shades, thermostats and security.We chose HSS after talking to most of the providers of home automation, audio, and video in central Oregon. HSS stood out because of their equipment selection and their ability to understand what we wanted. During installation we were impressed with their attention to detail perfection and follow up service.We are very happy to have chosen HSS for our home automation, audio, and video. We enthusiastically recommend HSS to our friends and neighbors.Bill Unterberger

I cant tell you how careful and detail oriented they are. Robert was extremely patient and helpful and listened to every need that I had. You never know when you explain something if the end result will translate. The end product blew me away! So clean and high quality. Robert listened to everything that I wanted and under limiting circumstances, surpassed my expectations! The team installed a server cart in one of my closets that acts as a central hub to all of my equipment. Their wire management that Isaac organized on this unit was so thought out.. every time I show a friend or family member what HSS did, their jaw just drops. You have a server room in your house? They mounted a t.v. perfectly in the bedroom and added full 5.1 in the living room with a telescoping arm. Sounds amazing! I have such fun playing my music all around the house. Really top-notch job and Lawrence and Isaac were so clear and honest throughout the pre-planning, price estimation and installation.I will continue to use them for years to come for modifications and upgrades. Anyone that wants a professional home system installed, I would recommend HSS without a second thought.

HSS completed our custom design and install, including custom mount TV, surround sound, Sonos, internet and media cabinet, all while we were finishing up a remodel and moving into our new place. Even with all this going on, Jeff remained calm, cool, and consistent in his professionalism and his work. He and Lawrence answered any and all questions that we had during the process. We are proud of the finished product and love using all aspects of it! It is a well-designed and functional system in our home. We love HSS!

HSS installed a 46, 55, and 62 Samsung TV system in our home in Bend, Oregon. The 55 Samsung flat screen system is a 5.2 and the 62 Samsung 3-D system is 7.2. Their choice of equipment to meet your needs are first class, well thought out systems with great compatibility with a price range of options to fit any budget. Workmanship is great. HSS also integrated a Sonos sound music system and shared home network system along with the TVs. They support their equipment very well.We plan to bring HSS down to Austin, Texas to install a similar system in our new home. They are that good.

HSS installed a top-of-the-line 55 HD TV in cabinetry designed to provide flexibility, support and beauty. Top of the line components with fans to keep them at optimum temperature were installed in existing cabinetry. They installed a Sonos sound system which shared with the TV the five speakers which were totally enclosed to prevent contamination. The speakers were carefully placed and calibrated for optimum sound quality. HSS offered us a selection of three levels of expense for our project prior to start date; each one was carefully detailed which made it easy for us to select the best option. HSS did most of the installation themselves, and managed the installation of necessary cabinetry. HSS has provided excellent follow-up and has always been available to us for questions; we have had no problems. Jeff and Laurence have always been very professional, respectful and careful in our home. They are both friendly and extremely efficient.

After some research into who we might engage to update and upgrade our home audio/video center we chose HSS. Our decision was made partly because we were looking for a vendor that was small and who had the principals also doing the line work. HSS fit the bill as Lawrence and Jeff were it. We had a whole wall of A/V equipment completely changed both in terms of the appearance of the wall itself as well as having some new equipment installed. This involved basic construction which Lawrence and Jeff designed and supervised and new cabinetry at the base of the wall which was also designed by HSS in collaboration with the cabinet maker. While they worked on the A/V project they also upgraded our home wi-fi network making it more powerful and more flexible. This needed to be done so that we could have our A/V system accesses the internet as well as utilizing our Apple TV and installing a SONOS music system. The project turned out beautifully and more than met our expectations. Lawrence and Jeff are extremely competent, very reliable, tidy, pleasant, and constantly available when we felt we needed them. In short, they were a joy to work with which is always a bit of a craps shoot when working with a new contractor. Additionally, they continue to remain available long after the project was finished. We now consider them professional “friends”.If we ever need to have this kind of work done again there’s no question but that HSS would be our choice.

Prior to moving to Bend in 2011, we hired HSS to upgrade the audio and video systems in our home. We wanted a top notch system and we are not disappointed.Lawrence spent a lot of time in the planning stage before we arrived in Bend so that we could be set up as soon as possible once we moved in. HSS provided and installed new televisions, receiver, Blueray player, Apple TV, speakers/subwoofer, Sonus sound system, cable, and upgraded wiring throughout. They connected us with a cabinet maker for a custom cabinet to house these components in our living room. They also set up our network and other office necessities to get us fully functioning right away. Any challenges were met with creative and informative solutions.Lawrence and Jeff have been excellent in their followup since installation. Theyve been back to make sure this entire project still meets our expectations and the components get the most currect updates. They are always available by phone with answers to any questions I have had.I would highly recommend HSS to anyone who is wanting a great audio and video system in their home. Lawrence and Jeff are very professional and great people to be around.
