Barker Tech - Computer networking service in South San Francisco - 772 El Camino Real, USA

We are new homeowners and were very interested in having a state-of-the art working TV ASAP. Jake Barker actually gave us an estimate and installed our custom TVs and audio system before the competition could come and give us a quote. Jake was super prompt, helpful, and available for follow-up questions. His workers were patient, super knowledgeable, and cleaned-up after themselves. We would use Jake Barker Tech again!

I contacted Jake at Barker Tech to help with a few projects I had been putting off. He was able to diagnose and fix some wall speakers that were miswired. My electrician could not figure it out and Jake quickly diagnosed it. He also was able to clean up my AV closet and properly connect my surroundsound so that I can operate everything with one remote. He hardwired my security cameras and has been a great resource as I plan my next project at another home. A+ service. Quick replies. Nice guy.

As my wife and I were touring in process job sites with our General Contractor we noticed a couple homes with some really nicely done in home wifi and entertainment systems. I could tell that the person or people doing the work took pride in their trade and I could tell that they cared about the homes they were working in as well as that they cared about quality. I asked my GC “Who is the person doing this work?” My GC offered to introduce me and he did. Enter Jake of Barker Tech. Jake showed up to consult and advise and provide a bid. In that brief one hour I was able to confirm what I’d intuited from seeing his work. He was polite. Professional. Knowledgeable and insightful. He made some suggestions for wifi extenders and also suggested the locations and types of cameras along with pros n cons. If I’m honest. I knew from just simply seeing his work in other peoples homes. But I didn’t know if I could afford it. When Jake gave me his comprehensive and detailed bid, it was at the top end of my budget. I simply told my wife. “I want this !! I’ll make it happen and you can have whatever you want too.” Having met Jake the once. I knew he had integrity. Having seen his work I knew that I’d get the quality I expected. I am the son of a fine finish carpenter. I was taught to work by hard working men and women that take pride in their respective trades. I do high end car repair. I have an eye for detail and I LOVE that super sweet “OEM LOOK” and that’s what Jake delivered in spades ! Jake worked seamlessly with my GC to pre wire my home. He strategically placed wifi extenders and cameras. In their optimal locations. Then when the GC was wrapping up. Jake came back and double checked to ensure nothing had been damaged. (Thankfully it wasn’t. But I’m sure if it was Jake woulda handled it without troubling me. I just get that vibe .) Jake just finished my full in home internet and wifi network along with a high definition camera system with an AI Powered cloud based back up and a super intuitive app. I don't trouble myself with what I consider “the minutia “ of internet stuff and electronics in general. No room in my brain for “what’s a terabyte ?” Or “why is the wifi slow ?” BUT! That DOES NOT MEAN I will accept spotty or weak wifi. Slow internet. Cameras stuck haphazardly to my walls with wires everywhere. No. I may not want to do it myself. Nor may I care to learn the ins and outs of internet bandwidth stuff. But I know when something is well done , reliably and properly functioning. And I can certainly recognize quality when I see it. Highlights. 1. Barker Tech did exactly what was promised for exactly what was quoted in exactly the time frame promised. 2. IT’S KILLER!! So tight and right ! So sleek and cool and so nicely wired and well done ! 3. Nowhere on my property has weak wifi. Nowhere !! 4. On DAY ONE of my new camera system. (Literally 12 hours after he finished.) I was able to communicate with the fence builder through my system and catch a potentially huge miscommunication before my project started. The issue would have led to us getting basically the exact opposite of what we wanted. But thanks to my super sick cameras I spotted the issue while the truck was parking in my driveway. 5. I have wall mounted TVs !! No wires !! I love that look!! 6. The tech cabinet installed in my closet is a thing of beauty and it’s installed with care and pride. Not a single scuff or ding in the drywall. Nothing. It’s like he had a wand and “poof!” He manifested a network cabinet. 7. Peace of mind. I can rest easily knowing I have the best, most reliable high end security system available. Installed by a professional that CARES. Jake. I take pride in what I do. I take pride in my home. I take pride in my network and I thanked you for taking the time and putting your best foot forward. You deserve every single kind word I’ve written and I hope this review leads to decades of work for you. I’ll need you around when I’m 70 and can’t figure out “these dang internets “ Thanks dude !!

Jake and the team are as good as it gets! Got my home networking up and running better than ever, and even cleaned up some AV equipment that another company had installed. Barker Tech is the way to go and I'll be using them again in the future!

I would highly recommend Jake and his crew. I initially reached out just to get information about wiring my home with ethernet as my existing security was not cutting it via wifi. I ended up getting all new camera's and wiring throughout the two story house. My house is quite unique in terms of trying to get wiring throughout, but the crew did a great job of making it happen. After install day there ended up being a hardware issue with the storage and we troubleshooted for a few days before Jake had one of his crew members come out and replace the hardware (and actually upgraded the hardware) no questions asked. The system works perfectly, and my existing WIFI (orbi) is working better than ever, as well, after a few tweaks they made a few tweaks to the settings. Very professional and highly responsive.

If I could give Barker Tech SIX STARS I would! Jake and his team helped to create a robust WIFI network throughout our Tiburon home, upgraded all our audio (inside and out) with state of the art speakers and audio components, set up an intricate system for a new flat screen TV embedded in a chimney, sourced and set up our entire security system with cameras and basically did everything easily, in budget, and with the height of professionalism. He's like Superman, but for tech!

We needed to lay CAT6 cable through several rooms in the house as well as get a few security cameras set up. Jake responded to my inquiry within 10 minutes of posting here on Yelp, his quote was clear and direct and he managed to take care of all our needs the very next day. He got 6 lines of ethernet installed through the house unobtrusively, set up our little networking cabinet and we were up and running within a few hours. He's got an eye for detail and did the job very neatly. I definitely recommend him and I'm looking forward to having Jake and his team back for upgrades.

A good price for my home network setup, and a very clean installation. Connections are clean-looking and solid. Jake gave a few different options for different types of installs, and helped discuss the best one, then brought his crew out and finished a 2-story installation in a single day. I definitely recommended him, and would work with him again!
