I can honestly say, that they are awesome!!! They are respectful, polite, and reliable. Hard to find these days. We have several homes Harvert Systems have done the lighting, televisions and blinds, in all of them. There has never been a problem. Their work is impeccable. I not only would recommend them, but have several times. Our friends too, feel the same way!!! You wont be disappointed!! > > Denise > Frankenmuth, MI **★★★★★ — Scott Shively, Dec. 2017** > They are awesome, and have done several jobs for us. > Would recommend them for sure! > They are working on another job for us for a new house we bough. **★★★★★ — jccordes, Dec. 2017** > Doug is professional, knowledgeable and thorough. His staff is equally professional and polite. We love our new home theater and audio/security/lighting system! **★★★★★ — Kathryn Shokoohi, Dec. 2017** > Harbert Home Systems is a very professional company that is a pleasure to work with. > They were on time when they promised to do the installation, very knowledgeable, cleaned up after they were done, and are such nice people to work with. I would not hesitate to have them work again in my home or refer them to a friend. **★★★★★ — rittmueller\_a, Dec. 2017** > HHS did a great job on our new home with both lighting and audio setup. Looking forward to working with Doug on our next project in the theatre downstairs. **★★★★★ — Orvosh Builders, Inc., Oct. 2017** > We worked with Doug on a couple larger scale projects over the past year. Both turned out well with 'giddy' customers after the homeowner education at the end. He had good ideas and access to any product we needed. The systems are very easy to use and reliable. We have used automation on lighting, AV, locks, thermostats and garage door openers; all with great success. Thank you Doug & Tony! **★★★★★ — greglamarr, Oct. 2016** > Harbert Home Systems did an outstanding job adding a complete sound system to our new condo, which is very user friendly and has great sound. Their techs are very professional and know how to adapt for the best results. The Harbert tech ran into a build-out problem that was unexpected and had nothing to do with the system install. They were able to smoothly find a work around and the system's placement is perfectly hidden! **★★★★★ — Peter Anders, Sept. 2016** > HHS did a terrific job on my home theater system. We renovated our basement to incorporate a theater and exercise area. The theater had an indirect LED system that I designed and Doug Harbert and his assistant Tony integrated the system into the home theater so that we could operate the lighting from the same iPad. > The system is simple to use - only required a 2 hr shakedown cruise and I was running. My GC Rick Booth did a terrific job with the interior finishes so the room looks great with the projection, lighting and sound. Perfect project! > Doug and Tony were expert, courteous, and managed their end of the project perfectly. It was a pleasure to work with them. **★★★★★ — Angela Sheets, March 2016** > Doug Harbert installed a Sonos system and 2 TVs in our 80-year-old mid-century modern home. He is a consummate professional, respectful of our home, and available for troubleshooting or service if the need arises. He helped put the Sonos app on our devices and patiently trained us on using it! We love working with Doug and give him our highest recommendation. **★★★★★ — Image Design LLC, Dec. 2015** > I took a chance on recommend Doug to one of my client after meeting and talking with him several time. He seemed like minded and very professional and I like his work. Boy did Doug ever come through with my clients, they were extremely happy and impressed with Doug's proposal and designs for their home automation and theater. Not only did he make a good impression on my client he made me look good by recommending him. I have since recommended him to several more of my clients and am in the process of using his service on my own home. I would highly recommend Doug and everyone at Harbert Home Systems. **★★★★★ — Designtech Custom Interiors, Feb. 2014** > We at Designtech Custom Interiors have been working with Doug at Harbert Home Systems for over 5 years and refer our clients to HHS for all of their AV and home electronic needs. Whether it's installing a TV, entertainment center or an entire home video system, they can do it all. We've been very pleased with Harbert Home Systems, as have our customers, and we will continue to offer Doug's expertise to all our future clients. **★★★★★ — jolaurs, Feb. 2014** > I first heard of Harbert Home Systems through Designtech Customer Interiors when I was going through a remodel in the fall of 2013. They are a first rate company and superseded any AV company that I've worked with in the past. I would highly recommend Harbert Home Systems. ## Selected projects - [Jordans Way](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jordans-way-pj-vj~2789288) - Location: Midland, MI - Photos: 10 - [Morel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/morel-pj-vj~2744500) - Location: Midland, MI - Photos: 4 - [Showroom Home Theater](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/showroom-home-theater-pj-vj~149604) - Location: Freeland, MI - Photos: 10 - [Torch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/torch-pj-vj~2229118) - Location: Torch Lake, MI - Photos: 5 - [Grand Summit](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/grand-summit-pj-vj~666266) - Location: Fenton, MI - Photos: 8 - [Master Bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-bedroom-pj-vj~1278465) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [River](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-pj-vj~149619) - Location: Bay City, MI - Photos: 5 - [Woodline](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/woodline-pj-vj~156227) - Location: Fenton, MI - Photos: 9 - [North Shore](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/north-shore-pj-vj~695958) - Location: Fenton, MI - Photos: 9 - [Mallard Cove](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mallard-cove-pj-vj~2950353) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Custom Installations](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-installations-pj-vj~2744521) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - Description: Some examples of our Custom Audio Video Installations. - [Grove](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/grove-pj-vj~2950338) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Benton](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/benton-pj-vj~995308) - Location: Saginaw, MI - Photos: 7 - [Curtwood](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/curtwood-pj-vj~150205) - Location: Fenton, MI - Photos: 15 - [Pistro](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pistro-pj-vj~5734194) - Location: Freeland, MI - Photos: 5 - [Andre](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/andre-pj-vj~5734198) - Location: Midland, MI - Photos: 3 - [Applewood](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/applewood-pj-vj~1278479) - Location: Midland, MI - Photos: 13 - [Davis](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/davis-pj-vj~165196) - Location: Saginaw, MI - Photos: 12 - [AppleShire](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/appleshire-pj-vj~2950330) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Hannum](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hannum-pj-vj~2950347) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 [See all 29 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-automation-and-home-media/harbert-home-systems-pfvwus-pf~1224860079) ## Ideabooks - [Clifford Basement](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/175230442/list/clifford-basement) — 12 ideas - [Mod3](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/170936863/list/mod3) — 21 ideas - [Johns Golf Room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/166797043/list/johns-golf-room) — 10 ideas - [Living Room Idea Book](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/45406503/list/living-room-idea-book) — 38 ideas - [Foxwood](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/167519762/list/foxwood) — 20 ideas - [Covered Porch](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/26016696/list/covered-porch) — 34 ideas - [Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/6816421/list/kitchens) — 63 ideas - [Modern Lodge](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/156748386/list/modern-lodge) — 36 ideas - [C&C Exterior](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/160089030/list/c-c-exterior) — 7 ideas - [Exterior Idea Book](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/31982468/list/exterior-idea-book) — 77 ideas - [C&C Dining Room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/159858502/list/c-c-dining-room) — 5 ideas - [C&C Sunroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/159859154/list/c-c-sunroom) — 1 idea - [Bar Idea Book](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/35036706/list/bar-idea-book) — 30 ideas - [Ceiling Detail](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/61725239/list/ceiling-detail) — 15 ideas - [Richards Home Theater](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/157625917/list/richards-home-theater) — 13 ideas - [Mudroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/33669631/list/mudroom) — 24 ideas - [Donovan Stairwell](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/155163686/list/donovan-stairwell) — 7 ideas - [Laundry](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/31620094/list/laundry) — 26 ideas - [DeVries Home Theater](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/144242267/list/devries-home-theater) — 12 ideas - [Foyer Idea Book](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/61523990/list/foyer-idea-book) — 5 ideas [See all 92 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/dwharbert) ## Community Q&A **Q: Paint color?** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the paint color on the entertainment center? Thanks... A: Hi Nanette, I'm sorry for not responding sooner. Unfortunately I don't know the exact paint color. I was the audio video contractor on this project. **Q: Media/Theater Dimmer** *(in Design Dilemma)* Been frustrated by the dimmers in our media room. I have installed motorized shutters and indirect lighting on side walls but always seem to want to adjust the brightness of the lights...which necessitates a walk to wall in front of the family, then back again. And when I think I've nailed it, one of the kids will move it the next day anyway! So far the only solution ice found is this product "Ube" which is still in funding stage. It actually does more than I want and will let me do everything via my ipad or phone which is cool. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/702772580/ube-wifi-connected-smart-light-dimmer Anyone have other thoughts? A: Hi Tom, Believe it or not, there is an entire industry dedicated to your issue, Lighting Control! There are a couple entry-level products that I would recommend from Lutron; Spacer or Maestro IR. These are one room, or one light solutions that come with their own remote that can accomodate 4-5 preset lighting levels, or "scenes". If you think your lighting control system may expand to other lights or rooms of your home, I would take a look at Lutron Radio Ra2 or Universal Remote Control. These are both great solutions for "whole house" lighting control. Contact us anytime with questions about Lighting Control at www.HarbertHomeSystems.com and best of luck on your quest for the perfect "scene".
