David, you have successfully built a business that nobody else has. And you started it long before others even tried. I understand how challenging and rewarding it must be. Congrats on your success!

MediaCentric™ is the best subcontractor that me or any of my colleagues have ever used nationwide.
Just wanted to give a shout out to the lead & his help out here on the job. For the past couple of weeks he has been on top of his task. He has great communication as well as a great work ethic.
Very clean installation & pays attention to detail. Today before he left the site, he returned & wiped down all displays to make sure they were presentable his last day.
That is something that makes a lead technician stand out in my book, paying attention to the small detail is always a great thing.
Hi MediaCentric™,
Thank you so much for coming to our site. The MediaCentric™ Lead and his team really did a phenomenal job.
I was very happy with him because he was sending regular daily reports that included all of the information that I needed. He managed things very well on site and followed all the requests that I sent him prior to starting (and I sent a LOT of information). I like techs to call me when they have a problem AND a solution and that’s what he did. I only heard from him if he really had a problem and I appreciate that. It makes things a lot easier for me and a lot less stressful.
The client was also very happy with the quality of the install. It was very clean and cable management was on point. There were no issues with the install and that made him very happy! It was the smallest punch list I’ve seen in a while.
We also worked with another Lead on another team for a project and they did a great job on that one as well. No install issues and it looked like a very clean install. We had some construction challenges with that one but the team handled it very well.
I am a big fan of positive feedback so I hope that this helps. Thanks again for your support!
The lead was professional throughout the whole process, his temperament was even keel and he showed he was more than capable of doing a clean install.
If the opportunity ever comes up in the future, we would love to have him back on another job.

State and local authorities made announcements yesterday affecting the City of Los Angeles, County of Los Angeles, and the State of California, as multiple government agencies move to respond to concerns around the Coronavirus. We are hearing that other states have followed similar protocols. After reviewing the documents disseminated for California, by each of the jurisdictions, we’ve determined that our operations are exempt from the restrictions, as they fall into the categories that support Essential Business and Essential Infrastructure. We are currently still in operation in support of our employees and our customers as we all strive to get through this situation together.
All of our partners that are working from home at this time have continued to make quote requests, advance schedule projects, book essential work now and discuss existing projects. We have remote design, commissioning, and programming taking place and are continuing to administrate the company. MediaCentric is still up and running and will be ready for when this unprecedented event subsides whether quickly or gradually.
