Real Feedback from Real Customers: Review #80: 5.0 Stars | 04/30/21 Review by Lowa M. in Mahomet, IL Project: Convert Phone lines to data lines and install cameras Comments: Working with Jesse and the crew he sent was a great experience. I contacted Jesse's business based on a recommendation. He got back to me the following day and agreed to come to my house a few days later to understand the scope of what I was asking him to do. Convert phone lines to data lines for a good portion of the house. He showed up on time for this initial appointment and did a walkthrough of the house and project. He promised to send a cost estimate which he did the same evening. Once we agreed on a cost estimate, he scheduled a time and date for the project to be completed by his team. On the day of the project, he showed up with his team to do a final walkthrough and, as is often the case with these types of projects, I added a few items (security cameras). He made adjustments to the project cost based on what I requested. His crew was excellent, almost unnoticeable while working in the house. They worked all day and when they left the house, it is as if they were never there, but I had better internet throughout the house. Outstanding experience overall.

Review #76: 5.0 Stars | 10/24/20 Review by James L. in Champaign, IL Project: HDMI Extender Comments: Lightning took out my Hdmi Extender in my equipment room that feeds my TV in the great room.

Review #75: 5.0 Stars | 10/23/20 Review by Bonnie T. in Effingham, IL Project: Nest doorbell & outdoor camera Comments: Jesse & Greg have been professional, knowledgeable and always on time for our work. The doorbell has been so fun to use and the new outdoor camera has a fabulous picture so we can “ keep tabs” on our yard, lake activities and watching the birds even when we are gone. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you. Doug & Bonnie Review #74: 5.0 Stars | 09/03/20 Review by Scott L. in Strasburg, IL Project: New Antenna Comments: After a direct lightning strike a few weeks ago our TV had no signal.

I have working with this company for both commercial as well as residential projects and they make it such a seamless, easy process. The work they do is quite sophisticated but the owner Jesse makes it easy to understand and he's clearly a tech genius. I look forward to working with me more in the future for my sound system, security, and wifi needs! Excellent small business all around!! Review #69: 5.0 Stars | 05/15/20 Review by Cliff C. in Champaign, IL Project: Mounting 55” TV and sound bar over the fireplace Comments: I’m very glad that I chose Swinderman Engineering as they completed the installation in the time they estimated and the quality of their work is outstanding. The two technicians arrived on time and were very professional and explained the way the installation was to be done and took time at the end to show me how all the electronics worked. Review #68: 5.0 Stars | 04/29/20 Review by Tim H. in Champaign, IL Project: Media Room and Other Rooms Comments: Great job all around. The Swinderman team provided a number of options to consider for our media room, as well as outside pool speakers and exercise room.

Swinderman Engineering Services was extremely professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend. Review #61: 5.0 Stars | 08/09/19 Review by Kim F. in Clinton, IL Project: Attic antenna Comments: Tech took time to explain placement options (outside on roof vs attic) and pros cons for each. Pleased with overall service, knowledge and friendliness of tech.

Also troubleshoot Wifi Comments: Amazing service. We came home from a winter break and found systems “out of commission!” Jesse sent Greg to the rescue and all problems solved. Also, installed the NEST thermostat and video doorbell. So nice to have.😉 They are an awesome company. Thanks y’all! Review #58: 5.0 Stars | 04/16/19 Review by Daniel G. in Urbana, IL Project: Routing an HDMI Cable through the Wall and Attic Comments: I wish we had found out about Jesse a year earlier! The job was done efficiently and well, at half the estimated price. Review #57: 5.0 Stars | 12/04/18 Review by Emmanuel E. in Doha, Qatar Project: Sensera Systems Time Lapse Cameras Comments: Thanks for the fast delivery and transaction of the Time Lapse cameras. We will surely get more once our main project starts. Greetings from Doha, Qatar.

Review #55: 5.0 Stars | 11/02/18 Review by Ken R. in Champaign, IL Project: Camera Install at The Dog Den Comments: Jesse was great to work with. He was right on point with his estimate. The cameras were certainly an upgrade from what I previously had. I am certainly pleased with the service. Thank you. Review #54: 5.0 Stars | 08/05/18 Review by Hal H. in Champaign, IL Project: TV Installation Above Fireplace and TV Installation in Exercise Room Comments: Very pleased with the work. The installers were very professional and experienced. Everything worked fine when the work was completed. Review #53: 5.0 Stars | 06/04/18 Review by Bruce W. in Monticello, IL Project: TV Antenna Comments: I had lost reception of most channels that I had been getting with an antenna I had installed. The Swindermans suggested working at the issue from the least to the most expensive. Fortunately for me they meant it! They detailed the possible issues and the costs to deal with each. Really! They explained what had gone wrong and had the part to do the job in the truck. Honest and competent. I cannot recommend them more. Review #52: 5.0 Stars | 04/18/18 Review by Russ S. in Champaign, IL Project: Sonos Comments: This is the 2nd Sonos system they’ve installed for me. (As well as various routers, TV's, remotes, stereos, amps, etc.) Technicians are friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Installation times have always been minimal with no "Call Backs". They have earned their 5 star rating. A++ Review #51: 5.0 Stars | 04/12/18 Review by Matt C. in Normal, IL Project: Mounting TV and Projector Mount Comments: Excellent service from start to finish! Helped me install my theater projector and tv mount in a short amount of time. Very pleasant to work with. Would highly recommend! Review #50: 5.0 Stars | 03/29/18 Review by Kathy W. in Urbana, IL Project: Antenna Installation Comments: We hired Swinderman Engineering to install an exterior antenna for over-the-air signals when we cut the (Comcast) cable cord. This involved traversing our attic (where I have never ventured), installing the antenna, then running direct lines to two TVs, one in a location that had never had any kind of TV hook-up. Jesse worked us into his schedule very quickly, the work was done quickly and neatly. We can receive 20 OTA channels, including the elusive WILL, with a picture that is just as good as the one provided by cable. I would highly recommend Swinderman Engineering to anyone needing this kind of work. Review #49: 5.0 Stars | 1/3/18 Review by Karen B. in Mahomet, IL Project: Intercom replacement and data line. Comments: The staff doing the work at my home were very professional and took great care to be careful and clean. As with any project a few problems arose but they resolved them promptly and to my satisfaction. They did a good job patching the dry wall where old intercom was removed and cleaned up the mess. They were capable of multiple facets of work like setting a post in concrete in the yard. Attitudes of the staff were exceptional and I would have them return for additional work in the future! Review #48: 5.0 Stars | 8/21/17 Review by Stan H. in Bloomington, IL Project: HDTV antenna installation and connection. Comments: HDTV antenna installation and connection was excellent. Professional, pleasant service at a very fair price. Review #47: 5.0 Stars | 1/26/17 Review by Eddie M. in Champaign, IL Project: Install TV, Sonos sound bar, move TV Comments: Jesse and his crew were extremely easy to work with and very careful. I had them remove a wall mounted flat screen and install in the basement and install a new flat screen tv and a SONOS soundbar. This was a more difficult job than first anticipated due to hidden wiring and they were unable to hard wire the TV in the basement to my internet connection. That is not to say that they did not try very hard. The final bill was higher than estimated but the job took longer due to the way in which the previous installation had been done. I have no complaints on this. Incidentally, I have used another local installer on a couple of occasions and would never use them again. I highly recommend Swinderman's. Review #46: 5.0 Stars | 12/21/16 Review by Jimmy S. in Urbana/Oakland, IL Project: Multiple Comments: Awesome service, great prices, and friendly knowledgeable staff who my dog loves, and she doesn't love many! I highly recommend them to install everything from a home entertainment system, to a business conference room with the latest technology to everything one could want in a high tech home. They're the best, and I've tried the others. Review #45: 5.0 Stars | 12/5/16 Review by Tracey J. in Decatur, IL Project: Home Theater Service Call Comments: Exceptional service! We had been dealing with another company for our home theater and it was always having problems. We called Swinderman Engineering and they came right out and fixed our system. Highly recommend! Review #44: 5.0 Stars | 11/21/16 Review by Vaughn N. in Normal, IL Project: Replace Antenna Comments: I was very happy with the service I received on my antenna replacement. The technician showed up on time and did the install with no problems. He was very knowledgeable and worked with me to get the best possible reception. I would recommend Swinderman Engineering Service without hesitation. Review #43: 5.0 Stars | 11/4/16 Review by Jeff K. in Champaign, IL Project: Antenna Issue Comments: I have had two experiences with Jesse Swinderman. The first experience was about 4 years ago when I was buying my first HD TV and was trying to determine if I could wall mount it in a corner. I also had a 30 year old UHF-VHF antenna in the attic that was causing some signal breakup. Since this was just an assessment of possibilities, no work was done but Jesse was kind enough to offered several suggestions for me to consider. Just this week I had a service call to determine the best antenna choice to allow me to continue to receive over the air broadcasts and eliminate the occasional signal breakup. Jesse and Zac determined that I had installed a splitter at the antenna (for a second TV - that I had never used). They removed the splitter and bingo my problem was solved. They also reviewed the orientation of my attic antenna. Very personal team and very professional in their approach to diagnosing problem and rectifying it. I would highly recommend Swinderman Engineering Services for any audio/visual issue you might have. Review #42: 5.0 Stars | 10/19/16 Review by Patty E. in Champaign, IL Project: Many Projects Comments: They are the best! Highly recommend Jesse and his guys! Review #41: 5.0 Stars | 09/06/16 Review by Gary E. in Urbana, IL Project: TV Install Comments: The custom install for my daughter's TV and special mount came out beyond expectations. The installers were polite and efficient. Left without any mess. Review #40: 5.0 Stars | 09/01/16 Review by Michael L. in Urbana, IL Project: Install Home Theater in a Box Comments: Excellent installation.....installer was professional, efficient and very helpful. I highly recommend Swinderman Engineering! Review #39: 5.0 Stars | 08/08/16 Review by Dustin N. in Champaign, IL Project: TV Installs Comments: Had SES move a TV to a brick wall next to my fireplace. This was a complicated install with hidden plumbing, electric and sewer in the way. The crew did an exceptional job and I couldn't be happier with their work. Also installed Sonos system and it's fantastic as well. I highly recommend the Sonos products. If you need any low voltage work at business or home, SES is the best! Review #38: 5.0 Stars | 06/29/16 Review by Matt B. in Charleston, IL Project: Install Antenna Comments: Good communication in advance. Services on time and as agreed. Review #37: 5.0 Stars | 06/29/16 Review by Bill B. in Normal, IL Project: Remove Antenna Tower Comments: Came out and dropped the tower in no time. Review #36: 5.0 Stars | 06/29/16 Review by Garry B. in Champaign, IL Project: Install Antenna Comments: Cutting the cable. Price reflects less than a few months of paying for Dish. Picture quality better than Dish. Installer very concerned with my best interests. Review #35: 5.0 Stars | 06/24/16 Review by Jamaal A. in Mahomet, IL Project: Mount TV on Wall Comments: Jesse was a pleasure to work with. Review #34: 5.0 Stars | 05/13/16 Review by Carolyn P. in Bloomington, IL Project: Antenna Replacement Comments: The team did a great job in cutting down an old antenna and installing a new HD TV antenna. Arrived on time with the equipment needed for the job. Showed me everything they were doing and why, and configured the antenna so that I could receive the best reception. Neat and clean=all wires zip tied to the tower in several places and the "tails" cut, so they wouldn't blow around in the wind, and when they saw one wire wasn't adequately tied down, one of the installers climbed back up the tower to make it right. This is what service is supposed to look like! Review #33: 5.0 Stars | 04/24/16 Review by Howard H. in Clinton, IL Project: Antenna Installation Comments: I was happy with the 2 men on the job & the work they did. The antenna is working well. The only small complaint would be the billing process took longer than I would have expected. Review #32: 5.0 Stars | 04/24/16 Review by Sam F. in Urbana, IL Project: Wifi Troubleshooting Comments: They came promptly and did a great job Review #31: 5.0 Stars | 04/20/16 Review by Russ S. in Champaign, IL Project: SONOS system, cable modem, and WiFi Comments: Fantastic high quality work. The long term installers are extremely thorough and professional. This is my second whole house installation with them. I would never use anyone else. Pricing is very competitive and you get the best quality to boot. Thank you, Jesse! A++ Review #30: 5.0 Stars | 03/07/16 Review by Maria D. in Champaign, IL Project: TV De-Installation Comments: I actually hired Swinderman Engineering Services to take my Flat Panel TV OFF the wall and put it on a tv stand. I am preparing my home for sale and need to remove wallpaper from one wall. They did an excellent job and they really know what they are doing! Thank you, Swinderman Engineering Services! Review #29: 5.0 Stars | 03/05/16 Review by Sandra L. in Clinton, IL Project: Take down old antenna tower & install new antenna Comments: This was the only company I could find willing to take down my old antenna tower. It was quite a project, but was done very efficiently.The new antenna was installed the same day. The workers were pleasant to work with. The entire project came in under bid and was very reasonable. I recommend Swinderman's; it is a good company to do business with. Review #28: 5.0 Stars | 12/22/15 Review by Tracey H. in Champaign, IL Project: Wifi Setup, Surveillance Cameras Comments: We just had another project finished by you guys. as usual, the job was completed perfectly. I would recommend Swinderman Services without hesitation. Review #27: 5.0 Stars | 12/16/15 Review by Kevin M. in Tuscola, IL Project: Data Wiring and Nest Thermostat Comments: Jesse and his crew did a great job. My home is now wired exactly how I want, at a reasonable cost and a quick turn-around. I would recommend Swinderman to anyone looking to add some tech to their home, and will definitely use them again if I need more done in the future. Review #26: 5.0 Stars | 11/23/15 Review by Carl C. in Mahomet, IL Project: System Setup Comments: Greg deserves more than 5 stars, but it is not an option. He is prompt, knows what he is doing and does it well. Jesse is easy to contact, scheduling is hassle free, invoicing is detailed and easy to understand. They have done three jobs for me and the work has exceeded my expectations each time. Keep it up guys Review #25: 5.0 Stars | 10/26/15 Review by Lance M. in Champaign, IL Project: TV Installation Comments: Jesse and his crew have completed two personal projects for us and several industrial projects at my previous employment. Jesse is a man of his word, uses quality materials, and has an installation crew who are very skilled and focused. I would recommend SES for their residential, commercial, and industrial services. Review #24: 5.0 Stars | 10/08/15 Review by Tom S. in Bloominton, IL Project: Antenna Installation Comments: What can I say. Awesome job by Zach who was so helpful in answering questions and just a all around great guy to chat with. I was so impressed with how swiftly and professional of a job he did. Without a doubt anyone who needs an antenna installed needs to contact Swinderman's! I highly recommend them. If I have other needs that they do, they will be my go to guys! Simply the best. FYI, love my 26 channels here in SE Bloomington. Review #23: 5.0 Stars | 10/01/15 Review by Anthea S. in Savoy, IL Project: TV Installation Comments: I have used Swinderman Engineering for years and have always received quality work in a timely fashion.

Review #22: 5.0 Stars | 08/10/15 Review by Rich C. in Seymour, IL Project: Universal Remote Comments: Your professional repairman always takes off his shoes before entering the house. Asks about our problem and then gets to work. Works with great care around our furniture and other delicate furnishings. Shows us what was wrong and then explains how to prevent future problems. Gives a good demonstration of how to use the new devices. Great job. A very nice person to have in our home and a job well done. Review #21: 5.0 Stars | 08/04/15 Review by Jacob T. in Urbana, IL Project: TV Installation Comments: They are always the best and go above and beyond what is expected! Review #20: 5.0 Stars | 05/05/15 Review by Dave S. in Fithian, IL Project: Antenna Service Call Comments: Very quality work at a fair price. Service tech got me the best result without spending my money. He didn't try to sell me something that wouldn't improve the TV signal and he even admitted my old antenna was stronger than what they usually sell. I figured the bill would be much higher. Review #19: 5.0 Stars | 03/22/15 Review by Carl C. in Mahomet, IL Project: Install or Replace a Home Theater System or Media Center Comments: Very pleased and would use again. Review #18: 5.0 Stars | 11/13/14 Review by Jim M. in Champaign, IL Project: Antenna Install Comments: A written estimate was provided and the quality of the installation exceeded my expectations.

Their staff was courteous and professional, and went above and beyond in ensuring the picture quality met my approval before leaving the job. All the wiring was concealed as if the projector was built in with the house. I will certainly hire them again for any future projects, and I highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of audio/visual work.

He was prompt and on time, explained it well. Phone works great! Review #10: 5.0 Stars | 01/07/11 Review by a Homeowner in Mahomet, IL Project: Install or Replace Antenna They gave me a written estimate, showed up on time, and even wanted to take their shoes off when they came in.

Review #7: 4.83 Stars | 10/10/10 Review by Vaughn S. in Mattoon, IL Project: Install or Replace Antenna The team that arrived was highly knowledgeable and skilled for the job that had to be done. I appreciated that safety first was a priority, on a potentiality risky job. While they were on the job, they took the time to help on a couple of other related job upgrades that I did not expect. The Swinderman team went the extra effort for me, and I would and will recommend them to anyone. Great job, thanks for your service.

Yes No Review #1: 5.0 Stars | 11/19/09 Review by Ginny S. in Rantoul, IL Project: Repair a Telephone System Very quick response time - they didn't dawdle, they got in and got the job done. I would definitely use this company again. They called to update corporate office with the status as they were doing this job. I loved that I got a statement via e-mail and didn't have to wait several weeks for it which can be a hassle for book keeping. These guys were just great! |
